Term 3 Leadership

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.

Art Lesson

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!

Short Tennis

P4 have finished the term doing short tennis. The main focus was to develop our ability to hit the ball. We tried to stand side on to our partner and make a C shape with the bat. We had a try at playing over the benches as our nets and found that is hard to control the ball back to our partner.

Unfortunately I have no pictures, but you could ask your child the following questions –

What have you been learning?
How have you been getting on?
What do you need to do next?

Music and Castles

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.

Bench Ball

In PE we spent 4 weeks doing bench ball. The small sided games develop our skills and tactics for invasion games, but especially basketball and netball.

Art Lesson

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!

Dance

P4 recently completed a dance block in PE. We covered lots of different tasks thinking about space, direction, quality, timing and relationship with others. Here we are travelling and performing on the spot with a partner.
