Here is Primary 4’s homework sheet for the next two weeks.
Remember, homework should come in to be marked every Thursday, and should be signed in the jotter.
New Topic: The Human Body
Primary 4 have started their new IDL topic, The Human Body. We have watched some great science videos and we have been learning about what supports the whole body, the skeletal system and the names of all the bones in the body. We worked in our coop groups to create some human skeleton, with the bones showing so we could see where they all were and what they looked at. We have included some of our great pictures below, it was a fun afternoon!
Here are some of our Fun Facts:
Did you know that you have 33 little bones in your spine? Did you know that when you are a young child you have around 300 hundred bones, but adults have 206 bones? Did you know the femur (leg) bone is the strongest bone in your body? Did you know a 1/5 of your body weight is the weight of your skeleton?
Sharing Our Learning: P4 Guest Blogs
Every so often P4 pupils will write their own blogs in pairs or trios, documenting what we have learned in the classroom this week. Here is some of our learning from week beginning the 19th of October:
“This week we have been learning about 3 digit numbers addition in maths, it is a little bit hard! We have a new phoneme ‘ee’ it is really fun. We have liked the water cycle so far.” (Jenna & Jaeden)
“This week we have been learning about the water cycle on the laptops and iPads, We have also been drawing some pictures about our October week. We did a water cycle quiz and our new phoneme is ‘ee’, here are some examples of other ways to spell it: ‘ie’, ‘e-e’ and ‘e’.” (Adrianna and Ashton)
“In ICT we have been learning about the water cycle, it never ends! In Health and Wellbeing we have been learning about how to be healthier.” (Paul and Christie)
“In P4 we have been given a new phoneme called “ee”. We have also been working hard in our reading groups. In maths we have been doing 3 digit addition chimney sums and we are all getting really good at them. In Big Maths Beat That we are doing well. Our topic is the water cycle and we have been making Keynotes on the iPads about it. In ICT we have been making Microsoft Word posters about the water cycle.” (Hannah Mac and Abigail)

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!
