For the past few weeks we have been very busy making bags to sell for the charity Mary’s Meals.

Sean, our Global Citizenship Rep., met Lindsay from Mary’s Meals. She told him about how the charity started and what it does. We decided to raise money for this important charity.

So while we were doing maths, we had to figure out how much money it would cost to buy 100 bags, to buy enough paint and foam to make a stamp. Mrs Edgar bought these resources to help us make our stamp for the bags.

Here is the stamp that Lucie made on the foam. We put a roller onto the stamp with paint then printed it onto the bag.

Here are some pictures of the process.

Our topic has been about charities this term and Iona did a presentation on Mary’s Meals.

She told us that £12.20 will feed 1 child for a whole  year. Thanks to the generosity of our family and friends, at the Christmas Fayre we managed to raise a whopping £153.60! The government will double this amount which means  that we have helped  feed 25 children for a whole year.

Thanks to those who bought our bags!

Primary 4a

Welcome everyone to our first Primary 4 blog. We are going to keep you up to date with what our learning has been so far. From time to time we will include some pictures of what has been happening in and out of class to keep you in the loop! Please visit our site regularly to see what’s hot and new! Feel free to tell your friends about our blog so they can see it too.

In P4a this week we have been learning how to insert a hyperlink into Powerpoint. If you click on a hyperlink it can take you to a website or a video! We’ve also tasted Challah bread as part of our learning about Judaism.

In P4b we have found out about Roman gods. Did you know that one of the Roman gods lived in water? We made posters of the gods Jupiter, Juno, Mars and Neptune, and added facts to them.

Last week in P4c we built up a timeline of different ages and where the Romans fit into this. In music we have been writing our own staves, playing percussion instruments and singing songs.

In P4d some of us have been subtracting mentally using 2 digit numbers. For topical science we have found out about animals and how they adapt to their habitats. Did you know that penguins and polar bears live on different sides of the world?
