It has been a very busy first term and we wanted to share with you some of the things that Primary 4 have been doing.

We have been studying famous artists this term. So far we have looked at Steven Brown and Kadinsky with a focus on their use of colour. The class have used pastel and paint to recreate the artist’s work for our classroom art gallery.

We are taking part in the First Minister’s Reading Challenge and the class are aiming to read for at least 15 minutes everyday. They have also been given a reading passport to complete when they finish a new book. We have some cushions and beanbags that children can use at this time but if your child has their own that they can keep in class for the year then please send them in with their name written on them. We are also looking for donations of books and magazines to improve our library. If you have any books that you could donate to us then please send them in to us.

It was National Poetry Day on Thursday and the children wrote poems using similes and metaphors. Our star writer of the week was Kayla Sinnet.

Well done Kayla.
