Primary 4

P4 and the Learning Pit

Leave a comment

P4 have been very busy learning all about the Learning Pit. The Learning Pit is a process that you go through when you are learning. We made our own mini pits and discussed how we were feeling on the way down to the bottom of ‘the pit’ then strategies we could use to help us learn and climb out of ‘the pit’.

We will be using these strategies every day in class when we are stuck with our learning.

“The Learning Pit is when you can struggle when you are learning and it makes you feel bad. The Pit helps you learn more and gives you ways to keep going.”  Josh P4

The Learning Pit helps you use strategies to help you get out of the Pit. I feel happy at the top.”   Brooke P4

Yesterday in the nursery we were delighted to be given our very own Rudolph!

He was made for us by Carli’s Papa and everyone in the nursery would like to say a great big thank you to him.  Rudolph is already one of our favourite decorations and has impressed all of our visitors too!

Christmas Jingle Enterprise

We have been busy little elves making Rudolph decorations, candy cane mice and reindeer dust to sell at our Nativity. So mums, dads, grans and grandads please bring along lots of money to buy some of our enterprise crafts.

 Nativity Rehearsal

 Today Primary 2 and Primary 2/3 took part in their first rehearsal with the primary 1s and everyone read out their line loudly and clearly and sang out loud like little angels. We were really proud of our children confidently saying their lines that they had been learning in class and at home – thank you to the parents for assisting with this! Believe me when I say it, a show not to be missed. Tickets are selling fast, so don’t miss out.

Snow Day Activities for P2/P2&P3 and P3

I Spy Winter Walk

Go for a Winter walk with an adult. Play I spy. How many words can you find that start with the same sound? Can you write any of these words in the snow?

Story Telling

Build a snowman.

Can you write instructions to tell a friend how you built it? Draw a snowman picture or take a photograph of your own snowman.

Shape treasure hunt

Look for 2D and 3D shapes outside and inside. Can you draw these shapes or make shapes with snow.

 Science Investigation

Collect containers of snow. Keep one container outside, one inside and one on a radiator. Which will melt first? Why? How much water is left in each container?
