P.E: Hockey
In PE just now our topic is the game of hockey. We have been starting off by learning some dribbling skills around cones, working up to scoring and the role of the Goalkeeper.
We have been playing a game called The Hockey Factor, with 6 teams, 6 goalkeepers/judges and a whole lot of fun! Here are our pictures below 🙂
Science Experiment: The Water Cycle
In Primary 4, we are learning about how the water cycle works and what happens at each stage. We have learned some new topic words such as:
- Evaporation
- Condensation
- Precipitation
- Runoff
Listen to a great song explaining the water cycle here 🙂
We have also learned about what the three forms of water can be:
- Solid (like ice)
- Liquid (water)
- Gas (like steam)
We have also carried out a science experiment on evaporation, investigating evaporation from puddles throughout a day. By 1pm there was no water at all in the puddles. We hope you like our photos!
Author visit!
Chryston primary were visited by children’s author Stuart Reid, who wrote the “Gorgeous George” series. Stuart Reid was hilarious, every time he said “books are brilliant”, we had to shout “Reading rocks!”. Some of our class have read his books already and think his books are funny, cheeky and a bit rude!
Some of our P4’s were lucky enough to join him onstage – acting out some of the characters in his new book, including a tent, a monkey and even an elephant!
Basketball Coach Session
P4 were lucky enough to get a taster basketball session with a local coach. It was a brilliant session, we practiced dribbling, passing, shooting and scoring!
Have a look at our great photos!

North Lanarkshire Active Schools – Girls Festival 2015
18 of our P4 girls took part in the North Lanarkshire Active Schools Girls Festival 2015. The girls had the the opportunity to try a number of different sports and activities that are also available in the community. The girls got to try out dance, gymnastics, football, netball, basketball, Taekwondo and Judo! These were all delivered by local clubs and sports development officers from North Lanarkshire Leisure. Check out our photos, we had an amazing time!
Here’s what the girls had to say…
- “I thought the Girls Festival was very fun and active” (Abigail)
- “I liked the Girls Festival because the man who taught Taekwondo was very funny…I loved it!” (Abby)
- “Girls day was fun, I loved the gymnastics and we got to do bridges and walk on our hands!” (Tamara)
- “I liked the Taekwondo, it was epic!” (Christie)
- “We had a great time, I really liked gymnastics because it was my own gymnastics teacher.” (Violet)
- “I loved Girls Day because it had a wrestling match at the end and all of the other sports were fun!” (Morgan)
- “I really loved it. It was good doing Jude, Taekwondo, I did accidentally kick the Taekwondo teacher in the fingers though!” (Coral)
- “I thought the girls festival was fantastic because there was lots of things to do there” (Hannah Mac)
- “I loved the Girls Festival because it was a great trip, I hope we can go again because I loved it! Gymnastics was my favorite.” (Natalie)
P4 Homework (Week beginning 14/9 and 21/9)
Here is Primary 4’s second homework sheet for the next two weeks. Remember, homework should come in to be marked every Thursday, and should be signed.
Synagogues
Here is some of what we have been learning about Synagogues in P4:
- The light on the ceiling is called the ‘Ever Lasting Light’ or Ner Tamid in Hebrew (Violet)
- The Torah is jewish Bible written in Hebrew (Gregor)
- Jewish people go to a synagogue (Aaron)
- The first person who built a synagogue was King Solomon (Aaraa)
- A Synagogue is where Jewish people go to worship, sing, pray and meet friends (Alfie)
- The Torah is kept in the Ark (Kyle Ca)
We watched a video which showed us how Jewish children can take part in the Synagogue, we drew some beautiful Menorah candles, and completed some facts sheets. We also created some stained glass windows with Jewish symbols on them. These are being displayed in the hallway outside our classroom!
If you want to find out more information on this topic, you can visit this website which had loads of great facts.
