Today we went outside to practise our knowledge and understanding of measuring length. We had to find items which were a certain length without using a ruler or a meter stick, very tricky! Have a look at how we did, some of us found things that were a little bit too big or too small but we have learned for our mistakes!
Well done Dawn!
You are our Star of the Week because you try so hard in class and are always listening!
This week some of the children in P4 have taken the opportunity to take our learning from Flower Primary School and use it in our school. In our topic we researched playground games and wrote instructions for lots of games. We made these into a book and took the nursery children outside to teach them some of the games. It was a beautiful day and great fun!
Well Done Daniel! Daniel is our Star if the Week because he has been focused in class and listening well!
Well done Laura! Laura was chosen as our Star of the Week because she has been concentrating on her work very hard!
The blue reading group have been reading Mrs Dippy’s Inventions. Mrs Dippy invents lots of different robots to make her life a bit easier. The blue group were set the challenge to design and create a prototype of a robot that could help Mrs Dippy.
Here are our robots and a recording of what their names are, what the robot is made from and what it does to help Mrs Dippy!
Let us know what you think of our robots!
We all dressed in red for Red Nose Day to raise money for Comic Relief. We did a whole school ‘Gangnam Style’ and lots of other fun activities!
The enrolment applications have been collected and reviewed. We read every child’s application to our school and discussed whether it was right to turn any of the pupils away or not. We decided everyone should have an equal chance to come to Flower Primary School! Welcome everyone!
Well done Leah who has achieved her Level 3 and Level 4 swimming badges!
Leah had to prove she could do the front crawl without stopping, impressive!
A big Antonine welcome to Casey and Abigail!
Abigail and Casey have joined our class this week. We are going to make sure they know their way around our school and have lots of people to play with at break times!
Well done to Arty, our Star of the Week!
Arty did a super job at listening carefully and working hard this week!
Well done to Sophie, our Star of the Week!
Sophie has been focusing on her work and trying very hard in class which makes her a superstar!
This week a letter will be coming home asking for a donation for our Daffodils to go towards Marie Curie, which is a very deserving charity!
Here we are on a Spelling Hunt outside to look for words for our phoneme charts. We have been looking at the ‘ae’ sound made by ‘ay’, ‘ea’, ‘ey’, ‘ai’ and ‘a-e’ as well as the ‘oo’ sound made by ‘oo’, ‘ew’, ‘u’, ‘ue’ and ‘u-e’.
Here is a link to the Water Cycle Song that we are practicing for our assembly on Friday!
Do you know all of the words yet?
Here are this week’s Countdown Literacy and Numeracy Conundrums. Can you solve them?
Well Done Matthew!
Star of the Week was achieved through working really hard on good listening in class. Keep up the good work.
Here are our new weekly countdown challenges! These challenges will be posted on our blog as well as being used in class.
Every week our class will have a Maths Countdown Challenge where we have to make the taget number by doing a mixture of multiplication, division, addition and subtraction using all our numbers on the board.
We also have a Word Countdown Challenge where the challenge is to find the longest word possible using the letters on our challenge board on the class. Each letter can only be used once!
We will have opportunities in class to solve these problems and they can be thought about at home through our blog!
Happy Problem Solving!
P4 have been studying ‘forces’ in science with Mrs Gibson. We made an instrument called a Fantastic Flinger which flings an object into the air. We had a competition to see whose Fantastic Flinger could fling the furthest!
Have a look at what we made!
We have voted to name our new school Flower Primary School! We have created our own school aims for Flower Primary School by looking at what Antonine Primary School’s aims are and what ours should be.
The next step in our topic was to think about how school buildings look. We did a walk around our own school and sketched the building from different angles. Here are some pictures of us investigating and sketching our school and some of our finished sketches!
We used our ICT time to research other school buildings in Falkirk Council and gathered pictures of buildings we liked. We used this information to plan our own ideal school buildings in our co-operative groups.
We each designed and created our own buildings against the clock! Here are our schools and the winning school which is now the focus of our storyline!
For our Term 3 topic we are looking doing a storyline topic called ‘Our School’. We started by creating our ideal teacher.
We noticed that all our groups made their teacher female, a very interesting discovery!
As part of our topic we wanted to know how clouds were formed and why they sometimes bring us rain. We have been learning about the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. These processes make up the water cycle which has no start point and no end point as it is a never ending cycle!
Well done Aaron who was our star of the week last week!
He showed excellent listening and superb effort in his work. Getting 100% correct on his 2 x table speed test!
Well done!
On Friday 16th November, we had a PJ day in school! We invited our teddies along too! We raised lots of money for Children in Need and had a cosy, cuddly day!
We have started our new weather topic in Primary Four!
We are looking at weather as our topic because we can’t stop noticing how the weather always changes outside our classroom window and it fascinates us…we want to know more!
Watch this space for all our weather related learning!
Last week it was Halloween and in Drama we learned how to express ourselves through movement. We learned a dance to Thriller by Michael Jackson and we tried to move expressively! What do you think?
In primary 4 we are looking at Scots Language as our topic. We have been learning Scots words that we didn’t already know. We have learned what ‘bonny’ means, we thought it was short for Bonnybridge but we found out it really means ‘pretty’. We already knew some Scots words, such as ‘weesht’ and ‘blether’ because Miss Kennedy is always having to tell us to stop blethering. We are looking forward to learning even more Scots words and using them in our writing. 
Welcome to our class blog, we are primary 4. We are looking forward to sharing our learning with you through our blog. We hope you enjoy reading it. Please share your comments.
