So far this week, in Primary 4, we have been very busy and working hard in class. We have been learning about Road Safety with Mrs Davidson and focusing on how important it is to ‘Be Bright, Be Seen.’  🔦

During handwriting, we have been learning to carry out peer assessment of our baseline joins and discussed how it has noticeably improved. Well done boys and girls, you’ve been consistently trying hard! ✏️

Today was an exciting day because we took part in our first indoor P.E lesson. Everyone agreed it was fantastic to be back in the gym hall and taking part in Yoga as part of Health and Wellbeing. 💚

This afternoon, we all took part in the Daily Mile to increase our daily physical exercise and then mindfulness to look after our mental well-being. It’s great to get outdoors! ☀️ 

As part of Developing Our Young Workforce Week we have been learning about the emergency services. Today’s focus was the role of the police, the powers that they have to protect us, what jobs they do and the equipment they use. We watched some very interesting videos and took part in a fun quiz. 👮‍♀️ 

Well done to the children who handed in their homework on Teams today! ✏️

Well done to last night’s homework stars who completed Sumdog for 20 minutes and reading for 20 minutes. Remember you do not need to take photos of this as I can check pupil activity. I am looking forward to reading your research. 👍🏼 🌟
