Robert Burns Day

To celebrate Robert Burns Day, Primary 3/4 have been learning traditional Scottish dances. They performed these for Primary 1. Primary 1 loved watching the performance and couldn’t believe how the boys and girls could remember all the steps! Primary 1 then performed ‘Ye Canny Shove Yer Granny Aff the Bus.’ We all had a fantastic time!

Lacey said that she liked when she crossed her arms over.

Oliver liked when the boys and girls went around in a circle.

Rachel liked when we went into the circle.

Ceilidh Dancing

In class we are beginning to learn about Scottish Art. We know that art can be lots of different things, from painting and drawing to singing and dancing. For the next few weeks we will practise different Ceilidh Dances. We have already learned the Virginia Reel! Take a look on SeeSaw for a video of our dancing.

The Secret Collection @ Paisley Museum

Primary 3/4 recently visited The Secret Collection @ Paisley Museum. We had so much fun exploring the stores, learning about lots of different things and seeing lots of exciting artefacts. Then we had a very important job to do, we had to help the Museum label artefacts that had got mixed up when they were moved.

My favourite part was…

Sara: “I like everything.”

Leon: “The part we saw the big painting.”

Dominik: “The shark.”

Alan: “When we go and seen the car.”

I learned about …

Szymon: “We learned the museum is very old and the old old bikes and old cars.”

Alan: “How they make stuff like projects.”

Leon: “about the giant stones.”

Next time I go…

Louise: “I want to learn more about the stones.”

Alan: “I want to see the megalodon tooth.”

Julia: “I want to see the Lion.”

Dominik: “Me too.”

Conservation Visit

Yesterday Primary 3/4 had a visit from Kirsty Grant from TVC.

She worked with children on the topic of Conservation. The children had the opportunity to share their knowledge of animals and animals needs. Then the children made tasty bird feeders. We covered a pinecone in lard, seeds and sultanas. This will give the local birds plenty of energy. The bird feeders were then tied to trees in our playground. Finally, we did some bird watching and made notes on the kinds of birds found around our school.

We all had so much fun and are excited to continue bird watching at our school! Thank you Kirsty for visiting our class! 🙂

Roman Catapults

Primary 3/4 worked in pairs to create a Roman Catapult. After everyone had made their catapult we launched them in the gym hall! We all had lots of fun creating and using our Catapults. Take a look at our See-Saw for videos of our Catapults!

What were you learning?

Louise: “How to make things.”

Dominik “We were learning about Roman defence and attack strategies.”

Chelsea: “Measure when we were launching them.”

What skills did you use?

Leon: ” We were using our skills to measure and work together.”
