In Primary 3/2 we have been learning about our rights. We completed a needs and wants activity which helped us to understand the things we need to survive. This then linked into our understanding about the rights of the child. We worked together to pick the rights we felt best suited our class and then displayed them as part of our class charter. Everyone created a beautiful butterfly to show how we are all unique.

Last week in primary 4 we were learning about symmetry. We used our knowledge of symmetry to complete these fantastic self portraits. Well done primary 4 you’ve made me a very proud teacher, Miss McGregor 🙂

In primary 4 we have been looking at dictionary skills and how to find information in a dictionary. We started by thinking about how to find, sort and order information alphabetically. We went outside and ordered ourselves by first name and second name. We were then all given a different animal and we had to work together to order ourselves alphabetically by animal name.

Here is a copy of the Home Learning choice board for TERM 2. I have also posted a copy onto the Primary 4 Teams Page.  Below the grid there is instructions on how to upload any completed work into your own folder on the home learning channel of our team.

Last week in Primary 4 we were using our research skills to find out about some famous explorers. We used books and the internet to complete a fact file.  We then used these to create a poster about our chosen explorer. Here is an example of some of our work.

This week in primary 4 we shared our learning as part of our Explorers topic. We each took turns to present what we had found out about our country. We then set each of our clocks to the correct time zone so we could compare what time it was in different parts of the world.
We also looked at the festival of Diwali and had a go at creating our own Rangoli patterns.

This week in  Primary 4 we have been creating some scottish lanscape pictures. We learned how to create a monochrome effect by using black and white paint mixed with a base colour. We then chose a Scottish landscape/ animal or flower to draw on black paper to create a silhouette effect. Here are some pictures of our work:

We have also enjoyed taking part in the Maths week Scotland challenge on sumdog. Over 6,900 classes took part in the contest and we finished 1091st. Super job everyone!

This week in primary 4 we have been working hard on using adjectives in our descriptive writing. We took inspiration from our class novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and tried to describe some of the main characters.

We have also been learning about the different sections of descriptive writing through our PM writing big book. The text in the book focuses on the moon so we decided to link our writing to our topic by writing about the earth.

Here is a copy of our term 1 leaning overview and home learning choice board. I will also post both of these onto our primary 4 Teams page which is now live.
