Primary  3 and 4 Activity Day in Sunny Aith.

P4-7 Sports Day

Volume and Capacity:  Making potions

Generation Science visit for P4 and P5.

Jamie and Teegan from “Generation Science” visited us to teach us about Electricity.

It was lots of fun and learnt lots about Electricity.

We got to be scientists.  We had to test magnets and copper wires to see how much electricity we could make.  We measured it using an Ammeter.

Then we charged up the Hexbugs using the best combination of magnets and copper wires.  Then we raced the Hexbugs.

We have been learning some Survival Skills.

Kate visited our school and taught us how to start a fire safely in a survival situation.  We used flint and steel which isn’t hot but it creates sparks.  We each had a go at lighting a cotton wool ball.

Then we had to safely put the fire out in a bowl of water.

We learnt that whenever you want to light a fire you should ALWAYS have something to put it out with like water or a fire blanket.

We also learnt how to make a Den in less than 5 minutes!

We used climbing rope and tarpaulin.  It was tricky tying knots but we enjoyed the challenge.

OVERVIEW for term 4

Health and Well Being.

As part of our Topic we were learning about how to keep ourselves clean.

One of the things we can do is brush our teeth independently.  We demonstrated how to brush our teeth properly.  Then we wrote instructions about how to do it.

Fun 31

We had Fun 31 with our House Teams.  Team Oxna were in the games hall and Lexi and Markus led some games for us.  It was great fun!

Scotland Topic 

We have been learning about the Loch Ness Monster.

We made clay models of what we think the Loch Ness Monster looks like.

We shared facts with Primary 2 about Snow Leopards because they have been learning about cold places.

We adopted a snow leopard because they are an endangered animal.   We also  learnt facts about them so we were happy to help Primary 2 with their topic.  It was lots of fun pairing up.  We had a few younger siblings and it was nice to spend time in each others classrooms.

Lily-Louise brought in her peerie brothers for Show and Tell.

Primary 4 loved meeting Rory and Owen and showing them the classroom.

We’ve had another busy month in P4.

We enjoyed having a Second year student who was called Miss Leslie.

Miss Leslie planned really fun handwriting lessons.  We loved practising our letter  formations in different ways.

We had a Maths relay to practise adding up different totals in Money.

In teams we had to race to choose a coloured cone.  Each cone had a value and we had to add up our totals.  It was good to have team mates to help each other and explain how to find the answer.

We have been learning about light and sound.

We made Globes using balloons, paper mache and long sticks. We added on the continents and used them to explain the earths rotation around the sun.   We’ve been learning about day/night, seasons, the earths tilt, leap years and why the sky is blue!

Good Morning and Happy Friday everyone,

Please find attached our overview of all things we will be covering this term.  I will also send home a paper copy next week.
