Primary 4 enjoyed their World Book Day Activities. We started off with our breakfasr read. Throughout the day, we worked on different book related activities. These included reading with Primary 3 and reading with our parents who had come for the Big Read. We also did word searches, read our favourite books to each other and talked all day about books!

Primary 4
In Art, we have been learning about the Scottish Artist, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We drew some pen drawings in the stlye of his famous rose design. This week we have been looking at Pop Art and have used it to show our knowledge of “bossy verbs” and adjectives. We chose a word to display in the style of Pop Art.
Below are some of our amazing pictures.
Primary 4
Primary 4 have had a busy time in January. We have a student witn us for the next 5 weeks and we welcome her into our class. The class have been learning their poems for the Poetry competition and we will be looking for them to perform them next week. Tuesdays have been busy with Outdoor Learrning in Maths with Mrs McCool . So far we have looked at shapes and are looking at angles and seeing if we can recognise them in the outdoors.
We have started our new topic looking at Scotland and finding out about different Landmarks which we may know. We had a great lesson where we had to see how many places we recognised. Max and his partner recognised the most!
We are working on persuasive writing and we hope to use our knowledge of our Scottish Cities to make a travel guide to persuade you to visit the place! We are working in groups to find out all about the different cities around Scotland.
We will post pictures when we finish!
P2/3’s Book Week
This week has been exciting for P2/3 as it was Book Week! Our week began with our assembly on Monday where Miss MacPhail shared some of her favourite books with us. We then went back to class feeling very inspired and excited to read our ‘drop everything and read’ (DEAR) time books. We also decorated our classroom door with a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme using different colours and patterns.
Carrying on from our Wonka topic we also wrote some letters to Willy Wonka convincing him to make our chocolate bars in his factory. We were encouraged to think about the structure and purpose of the letter, a description of our chocolate and why he should make it. On Friday we played a game of character charades. We were given a character from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which we had to keep secret and act out for the rest of the class to guess. The children were all so engaged with this and the class was roaring with laughter!
Our book week ended with P3 going through to Miss Duffy’s room where we were very lucky as we got to taste different types of bread from around the world. This was inspired by our read, write, count bags which contained an atlas. P2 read ”Open Very Carefully” by Nick Bromley with Miss Gill and then went on a hunt around the school for clues which the crocodile had left us. Our hunt ended back in the P2/3 classroom and we arrived to find some read, write, count bags waiting for us. We were all very excited to open them and explore the goodies inside. Overall we had a great book week!
Primary 4’s week
This week Primary 4 have been working hard on their report writing. We have written newspaper reports about Little Red Riding Hood. They worked hard on them. We really enjoyed Rookie Rock Stars and had great fun joining in with the songs and activities. We even had a fabulous rapper who performed infront of the whole school.Well done to Alan! We dressed up in dots on Friday for Children in Need. We made dotty biscuits at Golden Time which the pupils enjoyed and we will carry on with this next week as well for those who didn’t manage it.
Next Wednesday we are heading to Waterstones at the Centre to choose a book each for our library! We can’t wait to replace some of our older books. Next week will be filled with reading and book related activities so look out for next week’s blog it will be full!
Remember to bring a book for book swap on Wednesday as well as your favourite book to share with the class.
