What a busy week!

Leave a comment

Primary 4 have been very busy this week sharing their learning about their Dinosaur Topic.                                             

The children all spoke clearly and were able to answer any questions that their classmates had.  Fantastic effort P4 – you should all be very proud of yourselves!

Searching for the elusive solar eclipse

Gallery Leave a comment

P4 have been doing a mini-project on space and as luck would have it, there was a solar eclipse scheduled for 10th June – it’s like we planned it!

We made our eclipse projection viewers and discussed the risks of looking directly at the sun and figured out how to project the image safely…we were good to go.

However, the Fauldhouse clouds rolled in and we were not able to see the eclipse for ourselves – but we did manage to catch a live showing of it on the internet.

We talked about how science can be frustrating when something we’ve planned doesn’t work out, and how important it is to try again…if only we didn’t have to wait another 2 years!

Persuasive writing to change the future for Book Week

Leave a comment

Primary Four have been working hard on their persuasive writing recently (my sincere apologies to those of you now being ‘persuaded’ by these negotiating wizards).

Since the theme of Book Week was all about the ‘future’ we decided to write some letters to our favourite villains to persuade them of the benefit of changing their ways.

We really took our time setting out letters correctly and using emotive and powerful words to really tug on the villains’ heartstrings and get them to mend their ways.

What a start to the year we’ve had! We’ve been busy catching up with all our friends and enjoying new learning as well.

For this term we have a busy schedule and we have made a great start to our learning already – finding out about food chains, remembering our mental maths skills and starting to read our class novel.

For the rest of the term we have some fantastic learning planned which you can find out about in the attached document – we can’t wait to get stuck in to it all!
