P4 Museum Trip

On Wednesday 11th March, P4 went to the National Museum of Scotland with P4/5.  We travelled there on a big 70 seater coach. It was fun. When we got there, we started in the Roman section. We searched for different things,  saw Roman coins, armour and we got to dress up like a Roman. After lunch, we spent time in the science section and got to try lots of different activities. We also spent time in the animal kingdom section where we saw a dinosaur skeleton, an elephant and an arctic fox. We had a brilliant time!

World Book Day Door

 

P4 have really enjoyed decorating their door to celebrate World Book Day. We had lots of ideas but, after a vote, we chose Harry Potter. We discussed all the different things we wanted to include in our door then we used lolly sticks to decide who would be responsible for each part of the door. We are very proud of how well we worked together to create our door and we think it looks fantastic! We are looking forward to going on a tour of the school today to see everyone else’s decorated doors.

Scotland City Leaflets

We have really enjoyed our Scotland mini topic on major Scottish cities. In groups, we were given a Scottish city. We were travel agents and we had to create a name and a logo for our group. We then researched our city to find out about the landmarks and things to do there. We also researched how much budget and luxury hotels cost per night in that city. Then we were given a pretend family and we had to plan a short break in a city that would suit their preferences within a budget. We really enjoyed looking at everyone’s leaflets and calculating how much it would cost to stay in the city. We found that it was tricky to afford everything we wanted to do!

Advent Calendar

Primary 4 have been learning about human rights and diversity. We have been thinking about children who are not as lucky as we are. We had a vote in class to decide if we wanted to buy a Unicef Advent Calendar to help others or if we wanted class games for ourselves. We voted to help others and, every day we open a door and find out what we have bought to help boys and girls around the world. So far, we have bought chalkboards for children to write on, 15 pencils for writing and drawing with, a mosquito net to prevent a family from getting malaria and a vaccine to protect a child against measles.

Maths Game Practice

We have been practising our mental addition skills in class. Practise makes perfect so try these websites at home!

WORLD BOOK DAY

P4 have really enjoyed making their own books to celebrate World Book Day. We worked in pairs to plan our books using a storyboard format. Then we carefully folded A4 paper to create our books before adding our story and pictures. We shared our stories with each other and then had fun doing Mrs Collin’s Book Quiz.
