On Friday 8th March we are inviting everyone to dress up or dress down. Come to school dressed up as a book character or wear non uniform to school on Friday 8th March to finish our world book day celebrations. No donation is required.

Next Thursday the children will be participating in a range of activities related to books and reading to celebrate World Book Day. They will also be asked to turn a lollipop into a book character, learning tips on how to be a good reader and writer and listening to stories. The Junior Librarians will be sharing stories in the playground at lunchtime. The theme for this years World Book Day is “share a story”.

Every child will receive a £1 book token which can be used towards the purchase of a book or can be used to buy one of the special world book day books. Book tokens can be used from Thursday 28th February. World book day books are sold in book shops and supermarkets.

It has been a short but smashing week in P4!

We wrote about our exciting long weekend news and practised writing in paragraphs.

We have started learning about our new mini topic, Fairtrade. We have made some posters to advertise Fairtrade products and would like to invite you all to our Fairtrade assembly in two weeks time on the 8^th March.

We joined up with P5/4 and P5 to do some problem solving and calculate how much money we raised during our Scottish Celebration evening! Thank you to everybody who helped and donated. We are continuing to raise money as P5 are hosting a raffle for the remaining Irn-bru.

Well done to Jamie for collecting his head teacher’s award for excellent effort in homework.

We enjoyed learning about saving money with the credit union this morning during assembly and we hope to learn more about this soon!

Have a lovely-jubbly weekend!

This morning we were finding out about the different ways an author can present  text to make his or her writing more interesting.

We found out about bold, italics, size and underlining.

We made shapes with our bodies to try and help us remember what each one was. Can you tell?

We read the story about Little Red Riding Hood together. Then, in our groups we looked for evidence of each one in our story.  It was tricky to do  but we were able to find most of them.

We are excited about looking for the different ways of presenting text in our reading books!

On Wednesday 13^th February 2019 P5, P5/4 and P4 performed our Scottish Celebration, we sang lots of different songs including lots of different poems such as “From a Railway Carriage” by Robert louis Stevenson and he also wrote “The Whole Duty of Children” . After we celebrated some of the parents had some tea, coffee, irn bru, short bread and we also announced some of the raffle prize winners, some of the winners were Jordan, Brogan, Emily, Adam, Jamie and Kelsey.

On Tuesday 12^th February 2019 Mrs Craig’s bike crew organised a bling your bike contest and we had to decorate it with Scottish things such as tartan, Scottish flags and also some  people even put irn bru and shortbread which was super creative.

Maths

This week in maths we were learning about how multiplication and division are linked together and have been putting them into triangles. And also we have been practicing adding money together.

Health and Wellbeing

In health and wellbeing we have been talking about how much  your top priorities cost and the value of them such as gas to keep your house going, electricity so you can cook/use electronics, food, shelter and clothes.

Literacy

This week in literacy we have been practicing our grammar and we have been looking at the hidden objects and symbols in the picture book called into the forest by Anthony Browne.

This blog post was written by Summer Brookes and Abbie McAllister.

It’s been another busy week in P5/4.

Well done to those pupils who got a Headteachers Award for their STEM Active Homework:

Thank you to all the Parents and family members who came along to the Scottish Celebration concert on Wednesday.  It was a great performace and I am so very proud of all the P4’s and P5’s.

It has been a busy, excellent week in P4 this week.

We learned about the history of Valentine’s Day before writing imaginative Valentine’s stories.

We had lots of fun at our Scottish Celebration evening. We would like to thank everybody who came to watch and support us. We are looking forward to learning all about how much money we have raised during this topic.

Well done to Melanie and Rachael for winning prizes during the Bling your Bike event! Your fancy Scottish bikes looked great!

We have also enjoyed some Valentine’s art with Miss Adam.

Have a lovely long weekend!
