Category: P5/4

This term, P4 and P3/2 have been working on our STEM skills. This week, they were learning about electricity and created circuits. They discussed how to keep themselves safe when using electricity and what is needs to complete a circuit.

We have been working on our coding skills this term using Marty the Robot using block coding. The pupils were able to create a code to move Marty around the room and some created a loop code.

Some great technology skills used by all the pupils today! The pupils used their critical thinking skills to work out problems with their circuits or code and used their communication skills to work in their groups.

This week P4 and P3/2 took advantage of the sunshine and took our PE outside! The pupils created obstacle courses for each other to run through practising the skills we have been working on, running, hurdles, throwing and balance. The pupils used their communication and collaboration skills to work in groups to create obstacle courses.

Primary 4 have been learning about measure this term in maths. This week we began practising measuring volume and reading scales. We estimated how much 100ml and 500ml were and then checked our estimations.

P4 have had a very busy first week back after the holidays. We have been participating in different session with our visitors from martial arts, yoga, fitness to dance.

P4 made our own smoothies using the smoothie bike.

We focused on our mental well-being this week by going to the park, hobby time and playing board games, using our communication and collaboration skills.

In Primary 4 this week, we investigated conductors and insulators. We predicted what objects would let electricity flow through it (conductors) or would stop electricity flowing through it (insulators). We then tested them out to see if our predictions were correct. We used our critical thinking skills to make our predictions and collaboration skills to work with our group.
