As part of our work on Scottish inventors, Primary 4 have been learning all about John Logie Baird, who invented the first television. We learnt lots of facts about his life and wrote a report on what we found.
We really enjoyed creating Baird’s ‘Televisor’ with junk materials (photos to follow). You can play games and learn more about John Logie Baird at http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/famouspeople/john_logie_baird/.
Primary 4 had a challenge in Health today to create a message using the letters S A F E which would remind us how to stay safe on the Internet. Their safety advice works just as well in real life too.
Here are some of the best examples:
Strangers can be mean
Avoid them
Friends only
Everyone be nice

Friends you can trust, but not all the time,
Emotions- don’t let people be mean to you.

Strangers are danger
Ask your Mum and Dad before saying yes
Friendly words
Everyone is dangerous when you don’t know them
By Hannah
Strangers- don’t trust them if you don’t know them
Ask permission to go online
Friends- you need to see if they will be good
Emotions- don’t let them hurt your feelings.
By Samantha and Sophie.
Strangers – don’t trust them
Ask to go online – for permission

Emotion – don’t let people be mean to you

We have been learning about a famous Scottish inventor called Kirkpatrick MacMillan who invented the first pedals for bicycles. We learned lots of interesting facts about him and also learned about the ways that we remember him today. We used line to draw pictures of Kirkpatrick MacMillan Bridge and also of Courthill Smithy where he worked as a blacksmith. The pedals that Kirkpatrick MacMillan invented did not work in the same way as the pedals we have today. Can you find out how the pedals worked?
In Technologies this afternoon we had a design challenge to make a waterproof shelter for 2 Playmobile figures. It had to be stable and strong so that Miss McLennan could not blow it over. Here we are, hard at work…
This week we have been learning poetry! We were studying the Green man poem and enjoyed making up our own poems. For homework we have been learning Scottish poems for our Scots Assembly. We have also been learning and practising ‘Strip the Willow’ and we hope to perform this at the Scots Assembly. For our Scottish topic we have been learning about Lord Joseph Lister. We have been very busy since we came back from our holidays!
