This week in Primary 4 we have started learning about the Four Contexts for Learning in the Curriculum for Excellence. These are; Curriculum Area & Subjects, Interdisciplinary Learning, Ethos and Life of the school and Opportunities for Personal achievement. From now on, our weekly blog posts will relate to these four contexts.

Curriculum Area & Subjects

In Literacy, we have been focussing on persuasive writing. We made posters to persuade people not to drop litter around the community.

This week in art we drew poppies with Miss Adam for Remembrance day.

In Science we have been learning about the human body and have done investigations with sweeties and marshmallows.

Interdisciplinary Learning

We had to use our reading skills to help us read and make maps for our topic this week.

We also had to use our drawing skills to help us learn when we were making maps.

Ethos and Life of the school

This week the value we worked on was ‘Responsible’. We have been responsible when we played safely on the trim trail in the playground. We are responsible when we help younger pupils around the school and set good examples for them. We are responsible when using different equipment in the PE hall. We can also be responsible in our community by travelling safely.

Opportunities for Personal achievement

Well done to McKenzii for receiving a Head Teacher’s Award for super effort in writing.

Well done to some of our pupils who have achieved new sporting skills this week.

Lots of pupils have shown respect and good behaviour, moving their names up our behaviour chart, well done!

We hope you have a brilliant weekend!
