Science

We are carrying out investigations and learning about forces and growth.

Morgan said that plants do lots of things like humans like eat, drink and move.

We’re growing seeds and are observing how to grow them with and without light. Luca mentioned.

Mitchell said we scrubbed potatoes we’d harvested and we’re going to cook them next week!

We scrubbed onions too to make them clean explained Ryan.

Bikability

Alesha said in bikability we did different obstacles. I felt happy because I liked it and it helped me cycle better.

Skills for Life, Learning and Work

P4 children have been very creative this week in the garden and with art. They made Loral Wreaths, Olympic Torches and carnival face masks.

They prepared the vegetable patches for winter and learned about different types of weeds before removing them.

Megan said that, “planting is really important and you have to listen to get it right.”

“Planting flowers and vegetables makes things nice.” Morgan shared

Ross explained.”We can teach others how to plant things now.”

We filmed each other practising our spelling skillls.

 

 

 

 

 

Building our School Community

Birthday Cards with Luckydip

We’ve made lovely birthday cards for our school birthday box  I liked colouring in the front. Luca and Ryan explained.

Kady-Anne said in outdoor learning we picked out vegetables from the vegetable patches. The P7s then used them to make vegetable soup.

This week we planted mustard, cress and rocket seeds. Lots of children in our school will eat the healthy plants. Roni, Liam and Ebony enthused.

 

Happy Harvesting

Gardening and Learning in P4

This week the children began Outdoor Learning for the term by learning about horticulture.  They learned about the world’s first plants, roots, veg and weeds. They were busy tidying the school planters, carefully removing weeds and harvesting peas, onions and leek.

Good to Be Me

Argyll said today we spoke about,” being happy, sad or annoyed.”  Abira shared, “It’s good to  be me because I’m happy, energetic and not annoyed.”

“It’s good to be me when I get to go out with all my friends, ” Shanna and many of the class felt.

“I like having lots of friends like Kady-Anne,” Megan and others felt. Logan learned about feelings and Ethan Paul said you should talk about your feelings because it helps you make friends.
