I liked writing about castles this week because we could be creative with how it was displayed. Bonnie

I enjoyed Drama because it was funny and I got to be energetic. Maisie

I liked learning about the parts of a castle. Charlie

We made an angle measurer from paper and learned how to measure acute angles, obtuse angles and right angles. Lily, Sara, Ya Ya

I learned that Edinburgh Castle has been attacked more than any other in Britain. Ruaridh R and Drew

P4b

I liked creating an imaginative comic strip because we got to illustrate it so drew more than we wrote. Bella

Athletics was fun! I like running and jumping. Charlie

We started to learn hockey skills. I was better at that than football. Alice

I haven’t done hockey before but it was lots of fun – better than football. Sara

I liked building castles made of shapes in the playroom. Finn

We learned lots about Glasgow – The tree that never grew, the bird that never flew, the fish that never swam and the bell that never rang. Jessica

We made Glasgow landmarks using clay. I made the Armadillo. Lily

It has been a busy week in P4b where we have taken part in lots of new learning and made the most of the lovely weather.

I enjoyed creating symmetrical pictures and paintings. Jessica

I know that symmetry is when you get the mirror image on the opposite side of the shape. Charlie

We can check if something is symmetrical using a mirror along the centre. Cooper L

A line of symmetry goes through the centre of the object. You can get more than one line of symmetry sometimes. Ruaridh R

We went outside to explore and took photos of symmetry in our environment. Some patterns and symmetry were in nature and some were in man-made objects. Finn

We drew the lines of symmetry on our photos of flowers, leaves, the climbing frame, benches and lots more. Poppy

Miss Bruce has taught us about primary and secondary sources and this will help us research for our personal projects. We will be using our writing skills to take notes and create a project. I am reporting on Hades. Drew

I am happy that we get to choose what we want to learn about. Samuel

P4b

We can’t quite believe it’s the end of Term 3! We have had an amazing term filled with lots of learning and made more fantastic memories.

I liked making Viking artefacts out of clay and painting them when they were dry. Jessica

In the playroom we used playdoh to stretch, squeeze, push and pull which helped us learn forces. Cooper S

We did a fractions assessment and I liked it because we got to show what we had learned. Bella

I was very happy to see new Dog Man books in the library – I’ve read 4 already!! Ryan

I finished my library book and was happy because it was a good book. Finn

Fractions have been fun and each time we learnt about them we learnt even more. Poppy

I wish you all a restful and safe Spring Break and can’t wait to see you again for Term 4!

Lots of love Mrs Wightman

P4b

We’ve been learning about Fractions. I know the Numerator and Denominator make up the fraction. Finn

I can use the Bar Model strategy to show a fraction. Even hard work like for P6! Sara

I enjoyed developing my passing skills in Football this week. Lots of people worked very hard. Ruaridh R

I enjoyed creating a poster with the facts about Easter. We got to decorate it like a giant Easter egg. Jessica

I liked learning how Easter eggs popular to represent parts of the Easter story. Bella

I really liked working out Equivalent Fractions by using strategies and remembering whatever you do to the numerator you also do to the denominator. Samuel

I enjoyed learning about Fractions. Maisie

I liked Art and dancing. Maria

Only one person in class would choose to have a real egg instead of a chocolate egg – and it isn’t Mrs Wightman!!

P4b

We did Maths, Writing and Reading Assessments for the Scottish Government. These were not hard but not easy either. Poppy

We did times tables activity cards and one was a Loop Card game. I enjoyed this because you had to listen carefully then could shout out your answer. Jessica

In our maths stations we all got the chance to do the activity we wanted to. Poppy

In the playroom we made snakes by looping paper. Kendall

This was for Chinese New Year and because 2025 is the year of the snake. Samuel

In spelling we checked we could spell work by matching cards. Elena-Rose

We learner to play the Scottish song ‘Auld Lang Syne’ on the glockenspiel. Maisie 

It was fun! Jason

I made a bridge out of Lego then put cars on it to see if they could driver over it. Ryan

 

 

P4b

I can’t quite believe we are at the end of Term 2 in P4b!
I am so proud of each and every one of you and everything you have achieved this year. I can’t wait to continue to share your successes in 2025! I wish you and your families a wonderful festive break!
Love from Mrs Wightman X

Mrs Wightman asked us if we would like individual gifts for Christmas or a whole class gift. We spoke about this with our classmates and decided we would like to make a donation instead. We decided to add Mrs Wightman’s money to the money we raised at our Enterprise and pay for dinner for 11 homeless people.

P4b

We have been learning about number patterns and linking this to multiplication tables. Maisie

We learned them in a fun way – no more nursery rhymes, only number rhymes! Drew

We started an Enterprise project this week. Rylie

We wrote a letter to Miss Davidson to ask for her support in loaning us some money. Ya Ya

We have planned what we want to do and started making items. Sara

Some of us had the idea to start this after our showcase. Sherry

More people got involved and our little group became bigger. Lily

Mrs Wightman helped us to organise into smaller groups to have different roles that would help us be successful. Sara

We will transfer our literacy and numeracy skills to do this, for example measuring ingredients, working out cost, writing letters and making posters. Drew
