As part of our Religious and Moral Education Curriculum, we are learning about different places of worship and we visited the Baptist Church this morning. Iain and Lee talked with us about the differences between churches, what activities take place at the Baptist Church and the people that worship and visit. We took part in a Biscuit Quiz, which was fun. We also discussed the importance of Harvest and what it means to people. We heard the parable of The Rich Farmer and danced along to a food song. Iain and Lee showed us around the Church and we saw the Baptism Pool. We made our own little houses in craft time and spoke about who and what is important to us. Thank you to everyone who helped today. We used our focus, communication and creative meta skills. 
Design Challenge – Loch Ness Monsters
As part of our learning on the folklore of Scotland, we used clay to design our own Nessies. We used our creative meta skills. It was a lot of fun!
Police Scotland – Traffic Monitoring
As part of our class leadership this term, we helped Police Scotland to monitor traffic coming down Sound Brae. We made our red, amber and green emojis in class. House Captains also helped out. We had the opportunity to look at some police equipment too. We used our communication and leadership meta skills.
Wool Week – Friendship Bracelets
As part of our learning on ‘What Makes a Good Friend’, we worked together using our cooperative meta skills, to create our own friendship bracelets.
Maths Week – Parents’/Carers Visit School
As part of Maths Week Scotland, we enjoyed parents/carers visiting and joining in the Finn Finity Numbers Challenge.
Art Lesson
In Art we have been exploring TEXTURE. We started by experimenting and exploring different materials including, wool and watercolours to try to create the texture of a highland cow. Everyone really had fun exploring and learning about what materials do and do not work well together.
Following this we created a final image of a Highland cow and I was impressed with how different they all were, well done P4!
Maths Weeks Lego Challenge
We chose lego challenges today, as part of Maths Week Scotland. We worked together on building something in a minute or the tallest tower. In addition, we could build a heart, numerals, shapes or a symmetrical design. There’s lots of challenges to try and we hope to re-visit these later in the week. We used our creativity meta skills as well as collaboration. We had fun!
Maths Week – Place Value Card Games
We had fun using packs of cards in our numeracy time today. We worked in pairs/groups to partition 3 and 4 digit numbers. We used our collaborative meta skills. 
PE Update – Football Block
This term, all classes have been working on football in PE, with each year group developing skills at their own level.
In Primary 4, we have been focusing on building confidence in key football skills—dribbling, passing, and shooting. The children have performed these skills well. While game situations were a bit tricky to grasp at first, we’re proud of their progress and teamwork. It’s also been lovely to see how quickly they’ve settled into their new class and adapted to the changes. Well done, Primary 4!
Here we are in action.
