In primary 4 this week we have started our new topic Knights and castles. We have made lots of things to decorate our class to make it look like a castle. We have made shields, a drawbridge, a chandelier and torches. We have also researched different castles in Scotland and made a timeline of when these were built.

We are really looking forward to our visit to Stirling castle!

These are some photographs of us during our first basketball lesson 🙂

In gym we are now doing basketball. We have been doing dribbling, passing it round our bodies and passing it under our legs. We then played a game where we had to dribble to the cone and back and the first team to finish won!

We are looking forward to learning more skills in basketball!

In Chryston Primary we are starting House points. Each person gets placed in a house, these houses are called, Arran, Skye, Iona and Mull. We get house points for being responsible, helpful, kind and lots of other reasons. Each house has a badge with a specific colour, the colours are red for Mull, blue for Skye, green for Arran and yellow for Iona, if you lose your badge you have to pay 40p for a new one. If your house gets the most points in a week you get an extra playtime and a cup. We are all looking forward to seeing what house wins the first week!!

This week in Primary 4 we have been learning how to link our times tables with division. Also in maths we have been learning how to double and half numbers and how to do smile multiplication. We have been on the laptops looking at ‘word it out’ and talking about verbs. Also on the laptops we have been creating PowerPoint presentations about Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In literacy we have been doing visualisation on the characters in our reading books. We have been practising our joined handwriting. In art we have been drawing and painting Charles Rennie Mackintosh designs.

Last week in Primary 4 we learnt how to grip the tennis racket and keep the ball under control.

In maths we learnt north east west and south and Mrs McIntyre helped us with it.

During ICT we made a PowerPoint presentation about Charles Rennie Mackintosh and put pictures of him in it and we also wrote facts about him.

It’s been a great Monday and we are going to learn lots more this week!!

In primary 4 since we came back from our Christmas break we have been practicing our division. We have been learning about the link between multiplication and division. In literacy we have been reading out new reading books the Authors have been reading The Invisible Dog and the Illustrators  are reading The Boy who had (nearly) Everything. We are really enjoying our books. Mrs. Mutch is doing music and we are having fun.

Please leave a comment and thanks for reading.
