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!
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!
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!
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.
