Today P5 made bird feeders using mugs, sticks, vegetable fat and bird seeds. We are going to hang them up to see if it increases the number of birds we get in the playground. For the children’s “homework” they should find out what biodiversity means.
We also enjoyed playing sports on the Muga and writing about our art projects from yesterday.
The fist week back is going great! So much fun I forgot take pictures 🙈
Mrs Pattie 😊
What a great first day back!
I hope the children enjoyed seeing their friends and settling into their new classroom. It was lovely to see everyone again.
Here are some pictures of our outdoor learning today. Ask the children what their art represents.
Mrs Pattie
Hi,
It was lovely to see some of you today at school. Hopefully you all know who your teacher will be next year and what days you will be in school.
Today is my last blog day with P4 ☹️ I have really enjoyed teaching and learning with you all this year and I hope you have some nice memories to remember P4 in your report.
Task 1:
Have a think back to being in P4. What were the easy parts and what did you find difficult. What kinds of things in class did you love and what annoyed you? What could you have done to make it better? Think about coming back to school, how are you feeling about it?
Write a paragraph, make a video or voice recording about your time in P4 and send it to me. Make sure you answer all of the questions above.
Task 2:
Watch this video and see if you can tie dye something at home using natural dyes. I used turmeric For yellow but you can make purple from red cabbage (add bicarbonate of soda to turn it blue), pink from beetroot and orange from onion skins too.
Task 3:
If you haven’t done so already, please can you text or WhatsApp me some pictures of the work you have been doing at home. It is really important that us teachers have an idea of what you have learned during lockdown so we know what to teach you next year!
the number to contact is 0789 449 2119.
Have a wonderful summer holiday 🌞 and I will see you all again in August.
Mrs Pattie
Hi,
Today is reports day and the day you will find out what teacher you will have in August, exciting! It is also the last full week before the end of the summer holidays and tomorrow will be my last blog day for P4 🙁
Today’s tasks are smaller as we wind down for summer and since all us teachers have been working hard in school making everything safe and ready for your return in August.
Task 1:
PE with Joe Wicks
Task 2:
Girl’s books and Boy’s books, watch the video and answer the questions in it. As a challenge write me a paragraph about what you think.
Task 3:
Log onto Sumdog and practice your maths work.
Also, have a look at how the tadpoles are doing.
And…
Miss Brooks and I have been working really hard to make the upper playground look brilliant for you coming back. Here is a sneak peek
I look forward to seeing some of you between 12-1pm today to give you your reports.
Mrs Pattie
Hello,
Here are today’s home learning tasks.
Task 1:
Below is the Resilience alphabet.
Resilience is the ability to keep going when things don’t go the way we expect. Having resilience means we can look after ourselves and prepare ourselves for whatever might happen. All of the words on the resilience alphabet can help us to build resilience. See if you can create your own resilience alphabet like the one above.
For more information you can visit https://education.gov.scot/improvement/scotland-learns/health-and-wellbeing-activities/resilience-alphabet/
Task 2:
Isolation Olympics
Watch the video of how some people have created their own Olympic challenges since this year’s Olympics have been cancelled. See if you can come up with some games and challenge your friends or family to compete in your own Olympics. Good ideas are throwing socks in a bucket, living room obstacle course, bottle flipping and balancing. Let your imagination run wild!
Task 3:
See if you can play some of these multiplication and division games online.

The teachers are working hard to get the school ready for you all coming back after the summer. If there is anything you would like to see inside or in the playground let us know and we will do our best to make it happen.
Enjoy the weekend,
Mrs Pattie
Hi,
Thank you to all of the children who have been sending me work, the teachers love to see what you are learning about at home. Please, if you have not already done so, visit yesterday’s blog (link below) and make sure you do Task 1. We really want the playground to reflect the pupils and we can only do that if you send in your ideas!

I asked you what book you would like me to read after George’s Marvellous Medicine and Tayiba asked for The Worst Witch. Listen to chapter 1 and complete the task below.

In the story there are two new first years.
Task 2:
Watch these science experiments.
With permission from whoever is looking after you, see if you can do some of these. Write or video why you thing these things happen? What reactions are taking place? Can you try to explain the science of them?
Task 3:
Lots of people have been making funny Lockdown song parodies. This is where you take the tune of a famous song and put your own words to it that are funny. Watch the example below:
Have a lovely weekend and please remember to send me your ideas about the painting in the playground!
Mrs Pattie

Thank you to everyone who has been in touch with their learning. I know there are lots of you on the blog but I have not had any comments or messages about how you are doing.

Task 1:
Lots of teachers have been back at school trying to clear everything up for you coming back in August. I have been asked to get an artist to spray paint a really cool mural on the wall outside the P4 entrance and I want your ideas! What would you like to see on the wall? Think about our school and what it stands for; love, respect, equality and learning. Text your ideas to 0789 449 2119. Watch the video below of cool school murals to get you thinking!
Task 2:
Watch my video about the tadpoles we caught at the weekend. See if you can do the tasks I talk about in the video. Make sure you have a pen and paper to make notes on what you need to do, you can pause the video and write then play it again for the next instruction.
Task 3:
We have finished George’s Marvellous Medicine and I am going to start The Worst Witch tomorrow. But today, Mr Corrigan is going LIVE on YouTube at 2.30pm with a book. Join in with your whole family if you can!

Task 3:
Listen to Miss McCue reading from a book about our feelings and mental health.

Well done to those of you who have tried to beat the teacher on Sumdog.

Make sure you log on and complete ALL the challenges I have set, you have until 31st May before they end!
Task 3:
I planted some nasturtium seeds inside and now they are ready to plant outside. I noticed that everyday the leaves move to face the sun so I filmed a time lapse so show this happening.

3. Find out three interesting facts about nasturtiums.

Hi,
Just sharing some of the wonderful learning you have all been doing.
Tayiba went on a nature hunt and snapped pictures of these animals:
Huzaifa has been working his way through the learning pack
Iggy made some medieval weapons from materials he found in his garden.
We love seeing what you have been doing. Send us your work and we’ll share it with the class.
