Today we wrote poems using repetition about ourselves. Mrs.Fisher then drew round us to create silhouettes to display our poems on. Can you work out who these poems belong to?

Times Tables consolidation
P4/5 have been working hard to learn their times tables. Today we played some games to test our knowledge!
Scotland’s Next Top Inventor
Here are our fantastic inventors from P4/5. We had some innovative designs but the winning inventions were inside out football boots and a cross trainer that powers the TV! Well done to you all! When you are rich and famous just remember who your teacher was! 😃
P4/5 Poets
We have been looking at poetry this week in literacy. We have learned about the different features of poetry and tried to use some of them when writing our own poems.
We used repetition when writing about what was in the ‘Magic Purse’ and we used metaphors and similes to create poems about emotions.
Next week we will look at onomatopoeia and alliteration!
Scotland’s Next Top Inventor
Did you know that many everyday items were invented by famous Scots? P4/5 have been learning all about these famous inventors and their inventions this week. As part of their homework the children have to come up with their own invention, I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
p6/7 try a taste of the Mediterranean
Primary 6/7 have been learning all about the healthy benefits of Mediterranean food. Today they put their culinary skills into action by creating a lemon penne pasta dish with tomatoes, onions, lean bacon and thyme.
P4 Venn Diagrams
Today in maths, the boys and girls created Venn diagrams using hoola hoops and Pokemon cards. We sorted them into categories such as Fire Pokemon, Pokemon with a tail, or both! We are now confident in how to sort and categorise.
Fabulous kilt designs in P4/5
We designed our own Scottish kilts by creating tartan. We used paint to create a tartan effect then cut them to look like kilts. We then added some novelty legs!
We were all very proud of our designs!
Burns Supper in P4/5!
We have been learning all about Scotland and famous Scots, so today we had our very own Burns Supper! We made, from scratch, Haggis, neeps and tatties. The children did a fantastic job peeling and cutting the vegetables and thoroughly enjoyed their haggis, washed down with a glass of Irn Bru.
To a Mouse, By Robert Burns
Today, Primary 4 celebrated the life of Robert Burns by learning to recite two verses of his famous poem, “To a Mouse” off by heart.
The children added fabulous expression to their voices and afterwards, completed a Metalinguistics task investigating some old Scottish words such as ‘sleekit.’
Great enthusiasm P4!
