Confident Achieving Respectful Enthusiastic Supportive
Primary 4 have been doing a topic called ‘The Boy And The Bunnet’. Yesterday in drama they sat in the hot seat and answered questions as some of the main characters. Some of the boys and girls managed to use some of the Scots words we have learned in the topic!
After school clubs will restart next week (week beginning 23rd January). See below for list of clubs. Children will be given the opportunity to sign up this week and permission letters will be sent out before the end of this week. Sorry for the delay; this was due to staff absence.
Miss Gordon and Primary 4 want to wish all our families a very merry Christmas! Hope you all have a lovely holiday and we look forward to seeing the children back in the New Year x
Each class selects a pupil randomly every day to be ‘pupil of the day’. The pupil of the day receives compliments all day. Primary 4 love receiving compliments and say it makes them feel happy. All children get a shot of being pupil of the day and when it is your child’s turn you will get a message on Seesaw with some of their favourite compliments from that day. Look out for a post with this attached to it!
Primary 4 have had a busy week. Here are some of our highlights from the last week:
Literacy: This week we have been writing recounts. The children have been working on peer assessment and have been giving each other feedback on their writing using the success criteria.
Numeracy & Maths: We have been doing information handling this week. The children have carried out surveys in class and are exploring different ways of presenting their information. Look out for a survey question for adults at home!
HWB: The children are continuing to work on fitness training and gymnastics in PE. The focus for health & wellbeing in November has been healthy and the class have exploring then importance of a balanced diet. They are compiling a mini cook book of healthy recipes so please send us any recipes you have on Seesaw and we will include them in our book!
RME: Our themes this term is Buddhism and this week the class read a Buddhist story called ‘The Wind And The moon’. Make sure to ask your child about the message learned form the story.
IDL: We are continuing our topic on climate zones and this week the children have been learning about tropical and mountain climates.
Expressive Arts: Our art work is top secret this week but has involved design and choosing suitable media for a particular task. All will be revealed at the Christmas Fayre!
Primary 4 went all the way into the city centre last Thursday to see ‘The Croods 2’ at Cineworld. This trip linked to work we have been doing in class on film literacy. Everyone enjoyed the film, especially Miss Gordon and Mrs Neil who laughed almost the whole way through! We were very lucky to have 2 parent helpers come with us. The boys and girls all followed our code of conduct and were ready, respectful and safe at all times; we even got a compliment from the bus driver on their good behaviour!
