Primary 4 Sharing the Learning
On Thursday the 25th of May Primary 4A invited their families into school to share our learning from this term. The children planned an afternoon full of activities linking to our learning in class. Adults then had to complete a Kahoot! Quiz using lots of information from the 7 different stations.
Thank you to all parents and carers who joined us.
West Lothian Sumdog Contest

We are very proud to come 10th out of the 233 classes who participated.
Well done Primary 4A!
Cleaning Out Our Gerbilarium
Yesterday we cleaned out our gerbilarium. Before we cleaned out their cage we needed to put them in their exercise balls. Pepper was very good and likes going in her exercise ball. Salt however didn’t want to get in her ball. Daniel and Leah had to use her favourite tube to put her into her ball. It took lots of teamwork. Once they were out of the cage team 2 cleaned it out.
- Firstly we emptied out the old sawdust and hay. We left some to keep their sent. Gerbils can find being cleaned out quite stressful.
- Then we washed out the base and wiped down all the steps and wheel. Next Toby filled up their food and Jaysiel gave them fresh water.
- After that Leah and Jaysiel helped mix up some fresh sawdust and hay. We gave them new sticks to chew on.
- Finally we put Salt and Pepper back in their cage and washed our hands.
It was really fun to clean out our gerbils. We need to do this every week. We work in teams of 4.
Primary 4A Class Pets
Salt and Pepper have been settling into our class this week. Salt is very confident and loves to watch us learn. Pepper can be a little more nervous so we are helping her adjust to our classroom by sitting with her quietly and offering her some treats.
Primary 4A Gerbils
Primary 4A have been preparing for the arrival of our class gerbils.
We have been doing research in class and using our notes to create Power Points about caring for gerbils. We have been thinking about names for our 2 new gerbils and after creating a list of our favourites we used Microsoft forms to vote for our winning names.
Here are our responses:
The winning names were Salt and Pepper. We cannot wait to meet Salt and Pepper when they come to school on Tuesday after the long weekend.
