Eco Garden

May 12, 2015 Miss Campbell

The children across the whole school are working in the Eco Garden and using it as a place for outdoor learning. Each class have been assigned their very own flower bed to take care of. The children in Primary 3/4 have visited the garden for an art activity and the have also planted some flowers. The flowers will stay in their class room, where the children can look after them and water them until the warmer weather. Then they will transfer the flowers from their pots into a flower bed in the garden.

P3/4 Road Safety Day

March 31, 2015 Miss Campbell

Friday 27th March 2015 was Road Safety Day. The children in Primary 3/4 watched a video about Kerr, a young boy who was hit by a car and broke his leg. They discussed this scenario and the different emotions and difficulties around this situation. The children then took turns pretending to be Kerr in a drama activity. The rest of the class interviewed them and asked them about how they were feeling.

In another activity, the children created a story board about a road accident. They wrote about it and drew pictures to go along with the narrative.

They were also able to play a Road Safety game on the smart board. The game is similar to Snake and Ladders but the difference is, they had to answer questions about road safety correctly to be able to move around the board.

Primary 3/4 Health Week

March 18, 2015 Miss Campbell

The children in Primary 3/4 were very busy during our school’s Health Week. We were visited by a dental nurse who talked all about keeping our teeth and gums healthy. We also learned about the Eatwell plate from a visitor, Mrs Duncan, who taught us about the different food groups and why they are important. This is known as Food for Fitness. There was an opportunity to go on a smoothie bike and then drink the smoothie afterwards! As well as all this excitement, we had a visit from our friend Iain from Getting Better Together and we were able to perform the circus skills he taught us last term now that we are experts.

Primary 3/4 Castle Theme

February 11, 2015 Miss Campbell

The children in Primary 3/4 are enjoying learning all about castles. They have transformed their class to have a royal banquet theme and the group of the week are rewarded by being able to sit at the “Royal Table”. At the moment, they are creating a wall display of a castle including a moat and a drawbridge. Over the coming weeks, they will work co-operatively in groups to plan and build their own castle model using recycled items.
