This week, we worked really hard to prepare and present short talks about endangered animals. We learned so much about different animals and the threats they face. Everyone did so well and achieved the talk targets. We’re very proud of our efforts!

We’ve had a fun but busy week in P4a! In maths, we’ve been revising subtraction and learning how to subtract using exchanging. In literacy, we’ve been working on writing descriptive recounts, and we also created our own comics. The highlight of the week was definitely building our own castles out of cardboard. We used everything we’ve learned about castle features, worked as a team, and showed lots of creativity. We are so proud of our finished models!
Last week, we put our persuasive writing skills to the test by writing letters to the children of Wallacewell Primary, encouraging them to pick up their litter and help keep our playground clean. We also took action ourselves by joining the school litter pick, made even better by the glorious sunshine! In maths, we’ve been working with money, adding up totals and working out change from £10. We’ve also started our exciting new topic on castles! So far, we’ve been learning about the defensive features of famous Scottish castles and how they helped protect the people who lived in them.

P4a had a fantastic day celebrating Glasgow’s 850th year!
We wrote acrostic poems, sang famous Glasgow songs, and enjoyed a classic jeely piece!
Have a read of some of our brilliant poems about our amazing city.

We’ve had another fantastic week in P4a. In maths, we explored probability and reinforced our times tables through active learning stations. In literacy, we learned all about the features of non-fiction books. We practised our note-taking skills to help us gather key facts and organise information. Then, we used our notes to plan and create our very own non-fiction books. We worked incredibly hard and felt so proud of our finished pieces! We’re hoping to add them to our school library so others can enjoy reading them too. We also had our final football session this week and took part in a friendly tournament. It was a great chance to show off our new skills and demonstrate brilliant teamwork and sportsmanship.
Have a lovely long weekend,
Miss Maclennan and P4a
This week, we rounded off our Viking topic by creating amazing non-chronological reports. We also worked in pairs to complete a Viking quiz and made our own Viking artifacts out of clay. We have learned so much!
In PE, we had another fun football session, focusing on controlled dribbling and passing.
In maths, we explored tessellation and enjoyed taking part in active stations. We also did a maths-themed Easter egg hunt, which was a fun way to apply our learning!
The children have worked incredibly hard this term, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday. Miss Maclennan and P4a
It has been a busy and exciting couple of weeks in P4a! In writing, we have been creating engaging non-chronological reports, developing our research and writing skills. We have been focused on using connectives and different openers to make our writing even more interesting.
In maths, we’ve been exploring 2D and 3D shapes while continuing our work on fractions.
During PE, we’ve been lucky to have a football coach helping us develop new skills. As part of our Viking topic, we have advertised Viking longhouses and learned about the Battle of Largs. We even wrote diary entries from the perspective of Scots preparing for battle.
We have also had the chance to visit our lovely library and choose some new books to enjoy!

It’s been a short but busy week in P4a! We’ve learned all about the eight points of a compass and used our new skills to create treasure maps. We then wrote detailed instructions on how to find the buried treasure. In our topic work, we explored the first Viking raid on Lindisfarne. We also had a fantastic time at our Golf It session today!
P4a have had a busy week! In maths, we explored different division strategies and practised telling the time. In literacy, we learned how to distinguish between fact and opinion, and in writing, we created detailed instructions.
As part of our topic work, we discovered Scottish inventors and famous landmarks. We also explored the Scots language and even had a go at writing a paragraph about ourselves in Scots – it was great fun!
