P4/5 were learning all about the joints in the body today. We watched a video on the types of joints in the body then had great fun drawing round people in the class and identifying all of the joints on the body!
Frau Kusian works at the Goethe Instituit in Glasgow promoting German language and culture and she came to visit P4 and P4/5 today.
We practised the German we had already learned at school and she also taught us some new words. This picture shows her asking us about the German names for pet animals and wild animals and the sounds they make in German. We are learning about these animals with our German puppets Felix and Franzi.
We sang to her in German and told her how we were feeling.
We had a great time and she said that she did too.
Auf Wiedersehen. Bis bald.
We have been practising our subtraction with exchange in class. For homework this week have a go at these questions, write the answers in your homework jotter!

P4/5 investigated x rays today and got very competitive guessing which bones were on the x Rays. We then created our own versions of hand x Rays using paint and cotton buds. Did you know are 27 bones in your hand?!
We had great fun this afternoon using our knowledge of bones to create some Hallowe’en pasta skeletons.
We created posters to promote a healthy diet and nutrition for a competition! Fingers crossed!
Our garden club and primary 1a worked together to make some very interesting pictures. We collected natural items from our school gardens including colourful leaves, twigs and fruit . These items were then used to inspire pupils to create their own works of art!
One of our Spelling Groups were looking at a spelling rule about prefixes today. They learned what a prefix was and when using the prefix ‘all’ you only use one ‘l’, for example always, almost and altogether.
Wizards, can you find all of the ‘al’ prefix words hidden in the wordsearch below?
This week we will be looking at Subtraction. Have a go at some of these subtraction games to help develop your mental maths.
