As part of our learning in numeracy , we recently worked in pairs to measure different things in the playground as well as the perimeter of the field and other areas. We used our co-operative and communication meta skills as well as problem solving skills.
In Art p4 have been painting Farm Animals.
We have been learning about mixing colours reinforcing our knowledge of primary and secondary colours as well as how we can apply the paint in various ways to create different textures.
The pictures are looking great!

Handball
During handball, we concentrated on building throwing and catching skills and taking part in small‑sided games. Pupils learned some of the key rules of the sport:
We also practised moving into space to make successful passes and talked about how handball is a fast‑paced, exciting team game.
