P4 2024 – 2025

This term all the pupils have been working hard on their digital literacy skills. We have been learning how to open and save word documents to a specific location as well as learning how to use advanced searches when researching project work. The pupils have all enjoyed using the BBC Dance mats website to improve their typing skills. They have all worked very hard on this.  Dance Mat Typing for 7 – 11 year olds – BBC Bitesize

The pupil were all keen to use their typing skills to add the detail to blog posts and I am sure you will all be impressed with their skills.

The pupils have typed the information for the blog posts for Fun Friday, Library Time, Outdoor Space, Class Charter, Maths Week Scotland and Scotland Project.

So all the grown –ups that are on the blog need to read this! Everyone in the class helped make the   class charter .We used our meta skills, collaborating and creativity. First we decided to make a rainbow with gold coins and a pot. Second we painted the rainbow red , orange, yellow, green, light blue , dark blue and purple. Third we wrote some of the UNCRC. Forth we all signed coins then put them up. So in the end everyone helped.

What we liked about the Scotland Topic.

We liked doing the Tartan patterns with Mrs Sinclair at Art where we had to weave to make our own tartan patterns and name them after your sir name.

We also liked doing the landscapes where we had to name the different types of place. (e.g. mountains, hills & glens.)

We liked doing the animals in different places and where they all live list where we had to list and look up where they all lived and then we had to wright it down on your own list.(We all liked it.)

We made Zentangle patterns with blank maps of Scotland (to make a zentangle you need all the following items)

A Ruler, a piece of Paper, a Pencil/Pen and a pair of Scissors.

We liked the Highland Cow pictures with Mrs Sinclair at Art where we drew Highland Cows and got them on the wall outside the classroom.

We do spelling outside on the ground each week. Our words are  oo words and -pt words.

Its really fun and calm.  We use chalk and its really colourful chalk. We have colourful spelling.   We normaly  have partners and  we get a list and then we wright it on the ground. It’s really interesting to find out what they mean. Spelling is fun when we go outside.

Sumdog made a challenge for pupils in Scotland

We joined the sumdog   challenge it was on from Friday morning to Thursday seven o’ clock.

We made clouds that you right three digit and four digit numbers and we had to make different ways to make the number.

We did rounding to the nearest tens and Hundreds.

We played a game here we all had a partner and some people got two number cards or three, if you had the number you put your hand up and take the card away.

We got math games from Miss Abernethy’s room Mrs Redman’s Room and the open area.

Some of us did a work sheet like a book.
