Please dress your child in comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for outdoor activities. Apply sunscreen to your child’s skin before leaving. Your child will need to apply throughout the day as needed. If your child has a known allergy or has issues with hay fever, please ensure they have taken their anti-histamine medication as directed by their doctor or pharmacist on the morning of the trip.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have cause and appreciate your understanding as we adjust the dates. We are excited to still make this trip a memorable one for all involved!

Best regards,

Next week we are looking forward to our Eco-sySTEMS event. These are some of the exciting activities we have planned for the 22nd/23rd May. If you haven’t already done so please return your child’s EE2 form. In addition, please look ahead at the weather forecast to ensure your child is suitably dressed and has enough water for a full day of outdoor learning.

Primary 4 thoroughly enjoyed making fruit kebabs as a stimulus for instructional writing this week. We enjoyed them in the garden whilst reading our class novel in the sunshine.

Personal Achievements

Well done to Zara, Sophie and Caleb this week for celebrating their own achievements in dancing, karate and football.

Primary 4 -Capacity

Primary 4

Primary 4 had lots of fun learning about capacity and volume. They took part in a stem challenge and went head to head in teams to see who could save the most water. Well done to team number 1. #STEM

Primary 4

Primary 4 have throughly enjoyed their first experience of agile learning. The theme was transport, their new topic. We built cars and bikes using Knex, explored construction transport in the sand, listened to songs, made posters and PowerPoints and participated in drama about road safety.

Primary 4 – Fractions

Primary 4 have thoroughly enjoyed learning about fractions. We have incorporated Kit Kats, Lego, technology, outdoor learning and pancakes into our learning.

Castles

As part of our Scotland topic, and with help from their families, primary 4 designed, created and built their own version of a Scottish Castle. The children gathered resources from their homes and local community to make the castle. The children brought the castles in and presented their work to their peers.
