Primary 3/4 Update!!

We have been very busy in primary 3/4.

We enjoyed the nice, sunny weather and managed to have some outdoor races, we were soooo fast! ☀️🏃‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️
We have also been working so well with the other boys and girls in our class, during maths games and during our art work for our science topic of the Water Cycle. ➕🎨💦💧

On Roald Dahl day we done a comprehension activity and learned all about Roald Dahl’s life. It was very interesting! 📚
We have all been really enjoying our new topic of the Water Cycle! We have been researching and designing our own posters for the different types of clouds! Ask us all about it!!🌨️💦💧
Finally, we loved our classroom PE time, we done some yoga and dancing. We enjoyed letting all friends see our silly dancing but it really tired us out 🕺🏽👯‍♀️👯‍♂️😴

Welcome back Primary 3/4

Primary 3/4 have been enjoying being back at school!
In the first few weeks we all agreed in our rights we wanted to focus on for our class charter which lots of the parents got to see at meet the teacher.
We enjoyed our first session of PE, we were very tired after it and there was lots of red faces!
Finally, we have all been loving our class novel ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’. We created our own character profiles for the main character Tomas, and even designed our own dragons and gave them all a different power. We have also been using our ICT and art skills to research more information on dragons to create our own fact files and design our own WANTED posters! They look fab 🙂

Sports Day 2023!

P3/4/5 have been practising for sports day over the last few weeks. We loved running in relays and were very competitive at the long jump. We even made up our own sports day events to demonstrate to the rest of the class. We all had a fantastic day on Thursday and were exhausted by lunch time!

Earth Day!

Last Friday we celebrated Earth Day 2023. We decided to focus on litter and how we can encourage people to recycle.

In the morning we had a lovely visit from some lambs! They were super cute and we even got to pet them.

After break we went on a litter pick around Banton. It is very important to us to keep our village clean.

We also made posters, stories and presentations about the importance of recycling, what we can recycle and how we can recycle.

Construction !

We have loved becoming engineers and builders, creating our own buildings and designs. We have learnt that we use lots of different skills like;

– planning and designing

– communication

-team work

– problem solving

– critical thinking

We loved creating our own challenges for our friends to solve. We have used lots of different materials, such as cardboard, K’NEX and Kapla, which is like massive Jenga. We know that it is important to plan our design to think about how it will work. Then as we create our design we can make changes to make it even better! We have made castles, buildings, boats, bridges and even fun fair rides that can move! Here are some photos of our designs.

Stirling Castle

On Thursday 9th March P3/4/5 all went on a trip to Stirling Castle! We had such a fanatic time and met lots of interesting people who worked in the castle.   We learnt lots about the home of Mary Queen of Scots and her family. Although I think our favourite part was definitely sitting on the cannons!

National Careers Week

This week, we were learning about different careers. We talked about what we wanted to be when we grow up and what skills we would need for our jobs. We put our skills to the test and completed a series of activities to challenge our teamwork, planning, problem solving and communication skills. Some of these were trickier than we thought!

Drama!

This week we learnt about the suspicious events around Lord Darnley’s death, Mary Queen of Scots second husband. The murder has never been solved to this day. We held our very own trial for Mary and the Earl of Bothwell. We thought of arguments for and against Mary and even had amazing actors for Mary and Bothwell. We had lots of fun deciding who could have committed the murder!
