Primary 3/4 Fairtrade Fortnight

During Fairtrade Fortnight, Primary 3/4 children learned about the cocoa plant and the products that can be made from the plant. They learned about the Dominican Republic and the farming that happens there. They then recorded the information by taking notes.

Primary 3/4 Health Week

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

Dykehead 2014 040

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.
