Weather and Climate Topic

In Primary 4 we have been learning about Weather and Climate, what they mean, the differences between them – and how we can explore the meanings behind each.

We created our own forecasts and filmed them on the iPads. We have researched independently what Weather and Climate mean, and their differences. Every day we log the weather and display it. We have been learning that climates have very different conditions from Antarctica to Africa. In our Cooperative groups we worked together to create presentations on different climates. The 5 climates are Arid, Arctic, Temperate, Tropical and Mediterranean.

Below are some of our pictures from our wonderful weather forecasts:

Maths: Multiplication

In maths Primary 4 have been working on our new focus, multiplication. We looking at the 3,6 and 9 tables in particular but still thinking about other tables!

We are learning that multiplication is easy when you practice and that division is just multiplication backwards!

Primary 4 have been working so hard on this, and we have all been trying to practice as much as possible at home!

There are some good game links on multiplication practice (all tables), Hit the Button (focuses on quick fire questions) and general practice sites, games and challenges.

Here we are working hard…

Primary 4 have been preparing, alongside with Primary 5 for our Christmas Party. We have learned four traditional Scottish dances: The Gay Gordons’, The Dashing White Sargent, The Virginia Reel and the Military Two Step. We have also been practicing some of our favourite ‘modern’ dances such as The Cha Cha Slide and the Macarena. We have some photos below and are really looking forward to our party!

Our party is on Tuesday the 15th of December, during the school day at 1pm.

Remember if you want to take your child home to change into a party outfit, you can pick your child up from school at 12.05pm. The pupil must be back in school before 1pm.
