P4 were invited to perform at the Sound Senior Citizen Christmas party recently, and below, are a few clips of their performance. They all did so well and brought much cheer and happiness to everyone in the hall.

P4 have been really busy in Music this term. As well as preparing for and performing at local community events, the class have been learning some traditional folk songs.

Below is a clip of an African folk song called ‘Obwisana’ from the country of Ghana. It is traditionally sung by children in a circle, where they pass rocks in time with the pulse of the music. We adapted this by using drum sticks to keep the pulse and we also composed our own four beat patterns.

The children’s performance below takes the form of (A) the song, (B) stick pattern 1, (A) song, (C) stick pattern 2, (A) song, (D) own four beat repeated pattern, (A) song and the ‘coda’ which we have learned is an Italian term used to describe the ending in a musical piece.

We have been learning about gravity this term as part of our Forces and Energy topic. We have learned that gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the Earth. We demonstrated the force of gravity by designing parachutes. We had lots of fun exploring how air resistance can work against the force of gravity by testing out our parachutes outside.

We have been learning about forces as part of our topic this term – Forces and Energy. We have learned that a force is a push or a pull. We tested and sorted toys that use different forces. Some used a push, some used a pull and others used the force of gravity.

We have spent a lot of time this term reading for enjoyment. It has been great fun to explore our reading likes and dislikes. We are so lucky that we have so many brilliant books to choose from in our school library!

Happiness has been one of our school value focuses this month. We read Tom Percival’s book Perfectly Norman. This is a great story and it also helped us learn all about the importance of being ourselves. Here is some advice from Primary 4.
