We have been doing some research on the I-pads to find out about the 1970s. We have found out that lots of things were different in this decade. We found out about different singers, toys, clothes, shops, famous people and all sorts of different facts. One of the facts we found out was that in 1971 Lego had a 40th anniversary. We collected different facts about each the years and gathered them together with pictures on a poster. We also found out about different hairstyles that were popular at this time. One of them was the punk style. In 1979 mobile phones were introduced. Also, in this decade, the walkman was released. We are looking forward to finding out some more information about this decade.

A busy week!
On our school trip, we went to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. We learned a lot about the rainforest and we had fun.
We learnt that up to 15 people can make up to the length of an anaconda.
We also saw some of the displays, like Charles Rennie
Mackintosh and more.
On Wednesday we cooked cheese scones. We used egg butter and flour to bake them. After we put the cheese scones in the oven, we had a taste of them and they were really good.
On Thursday it was gardening day. All the outdoor learners went to plant some of our new plants so they could grow. We got dirty on our knees and shoes but sometimes on our hands and feet.
On Thursday 10 girls from P4 went to an all girl’s festival. We did Judo, hunger games and fitness activities. We had so much fun. It’s in the Tryst at Cumbernauld. We also had fun driving there too because we were laughing all the way and we called it the banana bus.
Review of Term 3
In literacy, we have been learning different spelling rules and we have found out that some words follow the rules and some do not. We have also been learning different reading and writing strategies.
In maths, we have been learning about the 2, 4 and 8 times tables, adding and subtracting money, telling time and jigsaw numbers to 10.
Our topic has been about The Rainforest and we have been learning about wildlife, plants and tribes who live there. The biggest rainforest is the Amazon. Chopping down trees causes a hazard of CO2 in the air. This is called deforestation. If we keep chopping down trees we won’t have clean air and it could kill animals. We have found out about the different weather changes within the rainforest also.
We have been learning how to dribble in basketball. We also worke on different passes like, overhead pass, bounce pass and chest pass..
We have also been learning different skills in skipping. Some were very tricky but we improved on them and got better. We have also been doing some long rope skipping which was really fun.
In art, we have painted butterflies, rainforest animals with pastels, pictures of rainforest plants and learning how to put detail into our drawings.
In science, we have been learning about hand washing and we are now more aware of how to wash our hands properly.
RME
We have been learning about Synagogues. This is a
meeting place for Jewish people. On the front of a
synagogue there is a Star of David. A Star of David is
made up of 2 inter-linked equilateral triangles.We have also been learning about how Jewish people celebrate in different ways. We learned that a Rabbi would take the scroll and use a Yad to read from it so that it didnt get torn or ruined.
Rainforest Topic
We have enjoyed drawing the rainforest plants and
animals and learning about the layers of the rainforest.
We have found it interesting to find out about global warming and how that works.
There are lots of different rainforest animals and plants and we have learned new facts about them.
We also made trees for our class display to show
where the animals live.
We learned about the 4 layers of the rainforest.
They are called the forest floor, under storey, canopy and emergent.
We have also learned about the life cycles of rainforest animals.
