We’re so fortunate to have received beautiful gifts today. The children in the class were each gifted gorgeous baubles from Shereen, Rosie and the service users at E.T. and Taing House Day Care. We will hopefully visit again in the New Year. Thank you Shereen and everyone else in Day Care!
In Art p4 have been learning about the properties of paint by blending paint to create a swirly sky, mixing different shades of green and apply it to create texture for trees. They then collaged to create heir scene and added some shading to make it look more 3 dimensional.
Great work p4!
As part of our learning, we worked together to create circuits, using components that we borrowed from the Anderson High School. We used our cooperative and creative meta skills. We had fun!
Exciting Equipment Updates This Week!
We’ve made some fantastic changes to our PE setup to keep things fresh and fun for everyone. Here’s what’s new:
As part of our Forces and Energy topic learning, we headed outdoors yesterday to investigate different things that were either magnetic or non-magnetic. We used our communication and cooperation meta skills whilst working in groups and sharing resources. We found several metal objects that were magnetic. We used different magnet strengths and discovered that not all metals are magnetic. It was fun!
Some comments from the children:
“It was good working in groups and sharing thoughts.”
“It was nice to learn and not just in the classroom.”
“We want to do it again!”
“Next time, we’ll try to use even quieter voices as other classes were working.”

This term, all pupils will be taking part in gymnastics, starting with mat skills and progressing to apparatus work. Gymnastics is a fantastic way for children to develop confidence, coordination, and strength while working at their own level.
Mat Skills Focus:
Apparatus Focus:
This approach supports creativity, problem-solving, and physical literacy.
Everybody loves this term in the gym, so I’m sure their will be plenty to talk about when they get home.
