We have had a great week so far in primary 4.

We have been learning about our wellbeing indicators and discussing how these needs are met in school.  We wrote about various ways that we are safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included at school.

We investigated our learning characteristics and worked as a team to create a poster about them.

In Numeracy, we looked at how to read place value blocks and some of us were able to identify ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens and ones in a number.  We also played a game involving odd and even numbers.

In Literacy, we looked at character descriptions.  We drew a picture of a friend or family member, then we create spider diagrams with facts about them.  We used this to help us write a paragraph about our character.

In Drama, we looked at emotions and passed various emotions round the circle.  We enjoyed playing emotion detective too.

In PE, we enjoyed playing team games like volvanoes and valleys.

We chose our Pupil Council members and our House Captains for this year.

Using Charanga, we started our music for this term.  We are looking forward to using the glockenspiels in the future.  Today, we focused on warm ups, evaluating the song and singing the song.

Hope you all have a lovely rest of week.
