In Art p4 have been doing some observational drawing relating to their class topic.
We have had to try to use our eyes to look closely at the shapes, patterns and details of different fruits and vegetables.
The lesson was spent trying to draw many different shapes, which we will then use to create portraits over the last couple of weeks.
Excellent “Looking” p4!

In term 3 Primary 4 were the Pupil Council for part of the term. They decided to look at the spaces that we use at playtime and how we use them.
They visited each part of the playground and we spoke about how the areas are used, who plays there and the kind of games and activities we can play there.
They have been thinking about how to improve the playground.
They asked about getting new playground equipment but this takes a long time to organise and is very expensive.
They think that there are lots of games that the pupils could play together that lots of people enjoy. They thought that when they play games outside they should all try to make sure that no-one gets hurt and everyone has a nice time.
Some games they thought everyone would enjoy are:
banana catchy, toilet tag and red light green light.

In Art P4 have spent the past 2 weeks collaborating within a group to create a “Kingdom”
We started by drawing castles, and then used printing tools to create patterns and add texture.
We found the Lego Blocks worked really well for this. To finish the pictures we added some colour with crayons and chalks.
Everyone was really engaged in their group project and had a unique story to tell about what was in their pictures.
Well done p4!

P4 have been using their class project about castles in music this term. We created two rhythmic patterns using the words ‘lord’ and ‘lady’ and wrote out the music using standard notation.
The next step was to use percussion instruments, tuned and untuned, to play our rhythmic piece. Below are screenshots of our rhythms that we composed and the instruments we used to play them.

In Art p4 have spent the past few weeks working on their clay project.
The theme is “Dragon’s Eye” which the class has thoroughly enjoyed researching.
We started by exploring different materials whilst drawing the different shapes, textures and patterns that might be found on a dragon.
We then used these images created to inspire our final design idea.
The following week we had a double art lesson to build our Dragon’s Eye.
We learnt how to roll, cut and form different shapes and most importantly how to join clay together by scratching and smudging.
Once dry we painted our models ensuring the colours were nice and neat.
The final results are amazing, well done P4!

Primary 4 did a fantastic job of singing for the Sound Community Christmas Party last Wednesday evening. A member of the audience shared this after their performance:
‘Please pass on my Congratulations to the P4 bairns for their fantastic performance last night. I must admit I felt a bit Bah Humbug until I saw their peerie smiling faces light up the room with their excitement and then go on to sing their hearts out. It was very infectious.’
Please find below a link to their performance:

This term as part of our leadership opportunity, we took on the role of the Eco-Club.
Our focus was sustainability and we decided to organise a Christmas Jumper Swap in the school. This had worked well last year and we felt it was important to offer this again as it is important to re-use Christmas Jumpers instead of always buying a new one.
First, we had to find out when Christmas Jumper Day was and then decide on our time scales. We had to check with P3 that we could use the open area and we had to decide what would be the best day to hold the Christmas Jumper Swap. Once the class agreed on all the details, we then began to make posters to let everyone in school know what was happening. We learned how to make eye-catching posters while remembering to add all the relevant details. We displayed our posters around the school and gave a message to the school office to send an email to parents about the Christmas Jumper Swap Day as well.
On the day, everyone was busy setting out the jumpers in size order, while inviting pupils from each class to get a jumper. Everyone seemed very happy with the jumpers available and we were all pleased with the event. It was a lot of work being Eco-Club leaders but we all enjoyed it.

This term our project has been Forces and Energy. We have been learning about different types of force including pushing, pulling, twisting and stretching. We have investigated what effect forces have on objects and started to look at what balanced and unbalanced forces are. We enjoyed experimenting with different forces whilst playing with play dough and made some fantastic Nessy models!
We will continue to work on this project next term.
