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!

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.

Primary 4 Library Corner

Primary 4 are very proud to have been chosen as winners for the middle school in our competition. We are looking forward to heading to Watersons to get books for our library. We worked together to come up with a theme and then everyone took part in making and designing something for the corner. We have favourite book covers, authors names, and sorted the books into different types, fiction and non fiction. We love our corner and enjoy going in and reading our books at DEAR time.

This week in Primary 4 we have been very busy planning our Library Corner for the competition which is being judged on Friday morning.

We started by drawing a plan of what we would like our corner to be.  We used our listening and talking skills to discuss what it should look like and what should be on the walls to encourage us to look after it and use it. We then put our ideas onto paper and drew a plan.  We had some super ideas which were then discussed within the class and we made a list of the ones we could do on the board. We then got to work. We all worked cooperatively and made book covers, talked about our favourite authors and books, we made book ends for the shelves and made our own library.  We set it around the theme of the BFG by Roald Dahl which is our new class novel. We hope to add to it to keep it exciting and fun to use!  Today was all about being creative!

Music

This week in Primary 1-3 we have been singing our friendship song. We moved to the pulse of the music and copied the rhythm of the words. We then made friendship cards to give to others to say thank you for being our friends.

In Primary 4 we listened again to ‘Zadok the Priest’ and discussed the music, focussing on dynamics and tempo. Using their imagination, the children then went on to create a movie that reflected the music.

In Primary 5-7 we were learning about different genres in music. This week we focussed on Reggae music, considering the tempo and of the music and the style. We sang Three Little Birds and found the pulse of the music and copied the rhythms. We discussed the background of Reggae music and considered the main instruments we could hear. The children then designed their own ‘Peace’ signs.
