Sharing Our Learning
This term in science, Primary 4 are learning about electricity. We discussed what we use electricity for in our everyday lives and how we keep ourselves safe when using electricity. We then looked at what is in a circuit and built a simple circuit.
P4 used our collaboration and critical thinking skills to create circuits and problem solve when they weren’t working. We looked at what makes a closed circuit and a broken circuit.
P4 have been learning multiplication this term. We have been practising different methods to help us work out multiplication questions. This week we focused on grouping using cubes and practising our repeated addition. We used our critical thinking skills to decide how we wanted to group them and used our repeated addition to find the answers. We used our communication skills to share our learning with the class.
On our Tuesday in PE, P3/2 and P4 will be learning how to play tennis. We talked about the equipment we use in tennis and how to be safe with them. This week, we focused on our balance and ball control, trying to balance the ball on our racket while racing.
On Thursday in PE this term we will be learning how to play benchball. This week we focused on our throwing and catching skills, practising our over head throw and chest pass. We used our communication and collaboration skills to pass the ball within our groups.
This term in PE P4 and P3/2 have been working on our handball skills. We have been practising throwing, catching, passing and dribbling the ball. This week we brought all those skills together to play a game of handball. The pupils used their collaboration and communication skills to work together in their teams to score points.
Primary 4 have started learning about Rainforests. We have looked at where rainforests are in the world and what the climate is like in a rainforest. This week, we investigated the different layers of a rainforest, the different climates they have and the animals and plants that live in each layer. We used our critical thinking skills to research and complete a fact file on the layers of a rainforest.
