Primary 4 were looking amazing in their Book Day costumes! We all hd great fun showing off our costumes this morning.
P4 Junk Modelling
The third snow day in a row… WOW! I hope you are all enjoying the snow and have been doing some very exciting activities. I have seen a few people on the school Twitter account already!
Since the bins are not being collected due to the snow, I thought we should take this opportunity to ask parents for their help!
Primary 4 are beginning to look at their local area and all the different parts of it, including housing, leisure, jobs and the school.
We would be very grateful if you could help us by collecting any junk modelling materials (cardboard boxes, kitchen roll tubes, etc) for us to make model houses and parks. Please ensure the junk is clean however.
Thank you for your support and thank you in advance for any pieces of junk you can send our way!

Here are some creative activities you can try:
Snowy picture or painting
Snowy personal story (remember to include thoughts and feelings)
A Tom Gates inspired story with pictures and words
Practise your times tables using snow/snowballs
Read a book
Draw a map of your local area and label it
Watch Newsround and draw or write about what you found out
But mainly, have fun with your family and friends in the snow! I would love to see any photos of you in the snow! I will see you when we return to school.

Library Time with Primary 4
Primary 4 love visiting the library every Thursday.
We get to browse the different books and read with our friends. Moira even reads us a different story book each week and lets us share our opinions on them.
Here are some photographs of us from today, enjoying our time in the library:
Scots Focus Fortnight
Learning Intention:
We are learning to develop our group work skills.
Success Criteria:
I can work well in a group.
I can create an eye-catching poster or PowerPoint.
I can present my findings to the class.
Over the past two weeks Primary 4 have been researching different Scottish people. These people are all famous but for different reasons. The class were given a selection of hidden names and they had to choose one per group. We chose Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mary Queen of Scots, John Logie Baird and Robbie Coltrane.
Each group then discussed the key information they would like to find out about their Scot and how they wanted to present their information. Some chose to create a PowerPoint, while others opted for a poster.
We self-assessed each other and gave every group 2 Stars and a Wish for each group to think about for next time. All groups did extremely well and were able to tell us lots about their famous Scot.
Well done Primary 4!
Internet Safety Day Pledges
Learning Intention:
We are learning to keep ourselves safe online.
Success Criteria:
I can make a pledge which will help me be safe online.
I can explain why my pledge will help keep me safe online.
In the lead up to Internet Safety Day 2018 Primary 4 have been looking at the ways in which we use the internet. They were able to come up with lots of things they use the internet, for at home and in the classroom.
We then discussed why we must be careful online and the dangers that are out there. This allowed us to then think of ways we can keep ourselves safe when we are using the internet. We came up with lots of suggestions as a class and then chose one each to make our pledge with. Our pledges will be completed and made into a classroom display for us all to remember and make use of.

Lost Property
Primary Four have managed to collect a huge amount of clothing which has been left in the classroom over the past few months. No one has claimed these items and as such, they will end up being thrown out.
If your child has lost an item of clothing please could you come in and look through our lost property on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday after school this week.
Alternatively, if you cannot make it in, could you let your child know what they have lost and I will have a look through the box with them.
Thank you,
Miss Mulhern
Primary 4 Winter Ready
Primary 4 and Primary 5 Christmas Party
Primary 4 and 5 had a wonderful afternoon at their Christmas party!
RSPB Visit
Primary 4 were very lucky to be the first class to welcome our visitors from the RSPB to our school.
We had lots of discussion about habitats and what we can do to help animals who want to live (or do live) in our school grounds.
We went on a walk around the school to look out for habitats which we have and we got to keep record of how many we have and how many points we scored.
Our school got 119 points and we were only missing 2 habitats! We were very proud of our score and really enjoyed being out to explore our school, even if it was very chilly!
Here are some photos of us all having fun:
