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.

From Ms Smith

We’ve had a great first week getting ready for the Scalloway Fire Festival.

We loved meeting the Jarl squad and trying on their sheilds , axes and helmets.

We’ve also been practising our Shetland Dialect.  We wrote Poems about the Fire festival.  We had to use nouns, verbs and adjectives in dialect.  Here is some of our work.  The rest are on display in the corridor.

Then we made Viking pictures using oil pastels.

Primary 4 have been busy making important decisions as part of our Enterprise topic.

They had to decide what to make first and then make something that other people would want to buy.

They worked hard on these and we had to do some compromises and negotiations along the way.

Today they got to see their finished product.  They were all very excited and it was great to see the end result.

We have been finishing off our Roman Topic and learning about the Pompeii Disaster that happened in 79 AD.

We made replica models of Mount Vesuvius and had fun watching them erupt using bicarbonate of Soda and Vinegar.  We added some other ingredients to make it look like lava.
