P4 have been reading The Twits translated into Scots. It’s called the Eejits and Mrs Hocknull is finding it very hard to read!!
We are going to be reading a variety of Scottish books this month….

Learning about Length
P4 and P4/5 have been learning about length in Maths. We have been measuring using rulers, metre sticks and trundle wheels. We have been measuring in metres, centimetres and millimetres.
Icy Fun in Nursery
Yesterday some of us wrapped up and went into the nursery garden to play in the snow. Â They noticed that the water in the water tray had frozen and that the birds had left footprints in the snow (before the boys and girls left theirs!).
   
To extend this activity we brought some of the ice into the nursery to play with.
They managed to get some of the stones out of it and used them to help break the ice up.
Here are some of the children’s comments.
“It’s frozen water” – Chloe
“You have to carry it in a bucket or your hand will be cold” – Suman
“It’s so cold and slippery” – Marley
“Ice is frozen outside” – Noah
“The water is freezing” – Neve
“It is cold because it came from the ground” – Jenna
“It’s lots of different sizes” – Kayla (after it had been broken up)
Today we noticed that all of the ice had melted. Â Nathan B. said it was because it is warm in the nursery.
We were pleased to see that there was more ice outside for us to use again!
Hopefully we will be able to make our own ice soon! Â Watch this space!!
GRIT Poems
We wrote acrostic poems using the word GRIT as our inspiration. This was a great word to use for our discussion on how we learn and how to get out of the Learning Pit.
Jack’s Animation Movies
We have been watching Jack’s You Tube channel in class! He has been making mini animation movies using an animation kit he got during the holidays. He uploads these to his very own You Tube channel!
P4 Pupil goes the Extra Mile!
Carlos went the extra mile at home and designed his own Learning Pit and acrostic poem. We love your enthusiasm Carlos!
