This term in P3\/4, we have stepped back in time to explore our topic, \u2018Then and Now\u2019, focusing on how schools have changed over time. We have learned about what children were taught in the past, what school life was like, and the rights children have today.<\/div>\n
We have also been developing our meta-skills, with a particular focus on teamwork and communication.<\/div>\n
We enjoyed celebrating World Book Day, where we took part in a fun scavenger hunt to celebrate our love of reading.<\/div>\n
In science, we explored different forms of energy, with a focus on green energy. We became engineers by designing and building our own wind turbines, testing them to see what factors affected how well they worked.<\/div>\n
In writing, we have been developing our descriptive writing skills and applying them to narrative stories. We focused on creating interesting characters and settings, as well as writing engaging openings with strong hooks, followed by a clear middle and ending.<\/div>\n
In maths, we have been learning a range of strategies to support our understanding of multiplication and division, helping us to grow in confidence with our number work.<\/div>\n
In PE, we have taken part in group and team games, learning the importance of teamwork and demonstrating good sportsmanship.<\/div>\n
Alongside all of this, we have also become musicians by starting to learn different chords on the ukulele.<\/div>\n
We have had a fantastic term full of learning!<\/div>\n

This term in P3\/4 we have continued to enjoy our class novel The Last Bear. We have loved exploring the story through our topic work, where we have been learning about different biomes around the world. We looked closely at the animals, plants an climate within each biome and discussed how living things adapt to survive in their environments. We even seen some of these animals on our class trip to Edinburgh Zoo!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In writing, we have been developing our descriptive writing skills. Using our topic as inspiration, we ‘stepped into’ the different biomes and used our senses to help describe the setting in detail.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Within Primary 3\/4 we have had a wonderful first term of school together! The children have done a fantastic job settling into our classroom routines, making new friends, and showing curiosity in their learning.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We have been learning about, new spelling sounds and patterns in literacy. Along with adjective and verbs making our writing even more brilliant. Within numeracy we have been exploring place value, rounding, shape, symmetry using natural materials and so much more!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We have been looking at the Scottish Artist, Charles Rennie Macintosh. We have been exploring bold shapes, straight lines and bright colours, taking inspiration from his famous Glasgow Rose and stained-glass windows to create our own.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are excited to start our new class topic about the different climes in the world and climate change, linking to our class novel ‘The Last Bear’.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here is just a little snippet of what we have been getting up to!<\/div>\n
