Minibeast Outdoors!

As we have had super weather, Primary 4 have been outside working and exploring for Minibeasts. We all enjoyed working outside and we found some slugs, spiders and even a millipede!

We looked at the wonderful Balmalloch Bug Hotel that Mrs. McBride made a couple of years ago and discussed what was good about it and what we might add to attract more minibeasts to our hotel!

Roman Chariots

Last term our topic was the Romans and Primary 4 loved learning all about the Romans. As we were working really hard we ran out of time to do our design topic so we did it this term. We made Roman Chariots fit for racing in the Circus Maximus!

We used wood to build the T-Bar and carefully sawed the wood and used sandpaper to smooth it out. Next we glued it together. We designed our own body of the chariots, cut them out, stuck them together and then stuck them on to our T-Bar. Our chariots look great and fierce!
