As always, we have been working very hard this week. We have been exploring Spanish culture and getting all hot and bothered about a very contentious issue – bullfighting. We all had very strong opinions about this after we watched a video of a real bullfight. Then we wrote some excellent recounts about a day in the life of a matador…
We explored Spanish culture some more by looking at the artwork of a very famous artist called Salvador Dali. He was a famous surrealist and his paintings, although based on real things, are very dreamlike or exaggerated. Have a look at our Dali elephants below…can you tell which parts are exaggerated?
Later on in the week, we worked with Mrs MacIntyre in the Performing Arts Studio. We explored rhythmic patterns and melodies in songs and had a go at creating some of our own…
We continue to really impress Mrs McLean with our hard work and enthusiasm. Great work P6, well done!

This week has seen primary 4 doing lots of fun activities, one of which was the Oreo Experiment! Using Oreo cookies we created the different moon phases from full moon to new moon and sorted it into the correct order. We all had a ball doing this and still managed to sneak in time to eat an Oreo or two…
Smiles for Oreos
Problem solving!
Thumbs up for Oreos!
Also this week we were working hard in literacy and learning all about commas and how to use them within a list. We worked in pairs to problem solve and then created our own sentences using lists and commas. Great start primary 4- keep this up! Watch out for more updates.
Literacy in action!

This week in maths we have been learning to count along a track. Thus skill will help us when we start to look more close,y at numbers and addition and subtraction, it’s a very important skill.
We used the Bee Bots to help us….
Also this week we used the iPads to help us learn the capital letters.
On international day of peace we all made a white dove to hang up in the corridor.
We hope everyone has a peaceful few days off for the September weekend.

Primary 2/3 were very lucky today as they received a surprise letter from the BFG!
He needed this fantastic classes help and the children showed great team work working together to complete their role on the wall activity describing the big friendly giant.
Our letter from the BFG!
The children are now looking forward to writing their own letter to the BFG!

What a great week we have had in Pr5 celebrating Roald Dahl’s 100th birthday!
We have had great fun reading The BFG, The Enormous Crocodile and Roald Dahl’s famous Revolting Rhymes! We have been looking at the language of Roald Dahl books, creating characters of our own, learning to note down main points from chapters as well as reading for pure fun!
The children were in stitches laughing Roald Dahl’s version of Little Red Riding Hood and the three little pigs! Certainly worth a read if you get a chance!
On Friday we invited our parents in for a very special event. We started with a little presentation about Roald Dahl, a song “Pure Imagination” from Charlie and the chocolate factory, then we had imagination stations where our parents got a chance to become involved in some of our learning. We then celebrated with tea and cakes and everyone left with a balloon with a Roald Dahl quote attached! Phew what a great afternoon! The children and their parents worked so hard. Well done everyone!

This week we have been working on our wall display for our topic which is called our world, our responsibility. In class we have been writing about the things we are responsible for at home and at school. A group of us got to work with Mrs Ruddy to make our work for the centre of our display, we think it looks fab!

Here you can see what we have been learning to do in number work. We are learning to count along an unnumbered track…it can be quite tricky!
We also practiced these counting skills using the game boards with our friends. 
It was great fun using the Bee Bots to count along the un-numbered track.
On Friday we had a great start with our parents and carers coming along to our “Stay and Read” sessions. Here we are reading our books with our family and friends. We even got to take a library book home for the weekend! It was brilliant and everyone had a nice morning.

Primary 4 has had an amazing start to the year launching into their new topic Space. The children have researched our Solar System looking at the eight different planets (sorry Pluto!) and can now put them in the correct order from the Sun. Using their ICT skills the children researched some interesting facts about the planets, cataloging them in their planet booklet. Just last week they worked effectively in teams to create these fantastic information posters. Well done Primary 4! Watch this space (pardon the pun) for the next update!
