Primary 4a have been examining influential Scots from history. Last week they studied John Logie Baird and discussed the influence he has had on their lives today. The children then worked in groups to design and create a television of the future. They used their presenting skills to confidently share their ideas with their classmates.
Primary 4a have been learning to engage their readers in their writing this week. They have been exploring different settings and using lots of ambitious vocabulary to add excitement and suspense to their stories. They worked as a team to add as many adjectives as possible to the setting they were given before writing indepedently.
“We were learning how to work as a team to describe a setting.” (Hannah H)
“I liked working as a team because we all had a job to do.” (Matthew)
“I liked that my team worked together and didn’t argue.” (Lara)
“I enjoyed writing about a setting using interesting adjectives.” (Leilani)
Alice Tochel, P4a received an award this week for her outstanding skill and effort in netball. Well done Alice!
Primary 4a had their first trip of the term to the STEM room this week. They worked in small groups to make predictions, carry out experiments and record their conclusions. The aim was to inflate a balloon by creating a chemical reaction using lemon water, baking soda and water. Have a look at their pictures below to see how they got on!
