Primary 4

The Vikings are coming!!

3 Comments

We have just started our Vikings topic and P4 enjoyed working on developing mapping skills last week. We used our atlases and marked the countries that the Vikings came from on a map; Armand really enjoyed this work. Did you know that Denmark, Sweden and Norway are Scandinavian countries? Another Viking favourite this week was researching the different types of jewellery that they wore and finding out about the different types of materials used to make them. Ailsa brought in a model of a Viking boat and that is now forming part of our display.

In maths, we have been working on the 6xtable. Xander says that the 6X table song has really helped him to learn it. It’s very catchy!!! 5xtable song, here we come!!!!

P.5 Pupil on Global Citizenship Mission!

Leave a comment

Euan McCreadie, P.5, is preparing to take part in Project Stedfast in Kenya in February. The Project began through the local Boys Brigade in Livingston in 2006 and has already helped to fund and build a unit for children with disabilities in a school within the Oloolua Parish in Kenya. During the visit in February, the group will complete a final 7th classroom in the school. They will also help to paint the classrooms, complete the landscaping and develop the vegetable garden to help provide fresh produce for school meals. Many other former pupils have also been involved in this worthwhile project over the years so we take great pride in all of their achievements. In order to support Euan and the Boys’ Brigade Group with materials to help in this mission, we are organising a ‘dress down’ day on Friday, 30th January. Pupils should wear black / red /green if they can to show their support for Project Stedfast. This valuable mission will be the focus of a school assembly in March. Good Luck Euan! We will all be thinking of you in your important work and look forward to hearing all about your adventures when you return!
