Charlotte – Me and my mum read a story and did a wordsearch.

Jorja – Me and my mum did the questions (about reading) on the board and I read a book to her called “Cowboy Kid”.  I drew me as a cowboy.

Abner – I read a story called “Secret Seven” and my mum helped me with the word search.

Oonagh – I read about Highland Cows and answered lots of questions about them because I know lots about them and I love them.

Amber – I did a reading crossword with my mum and showed her around the classroom.

Jude – I was doing the crossword with my mum.

P4/3 numeracy update

Leave a comment

we have  had a successful start to the new year in P4/3. We are  working hard and enjoying making new friends.
in maths we have completed our first topic of place value. We have been working with numbers in the hundreds, tens and ones columns and learning the difference between a digit and a number as well as greater than and less than.  We have used practical equipment to support our learning and we have enjoyed playing maths games with others in class.

Everyday we start our lesson with a problem solving task through our Building Thinking Classrooms approach. In this part of the lesson we work in random groups and at a vertical board. Through this task we are developing our collaboration skills and are learning to share our thoughts and ideas and to listen to others.

P4/3 Rights and Responsibilities

Leave a comment

Children's Rights and Responsibilities < WithoutStress.com

We have been learning about Rights and Responsibilities.  Rights are  needs or the things that we should all have.  These are things like the right to learn by going to school, the right to a name, the right to have your say, the right to play or the right to be safe.  Rights protect you in every day life, regardless of who you are or where you come from.  Children’s rights help make sure they are safe, healthy, heard and can be themselves.

We also have responsibilities.  These are things we are expected to do, such as following rules, being kind and helpful to others.

What are some of your responsibilities?

Each of us has different responsibilities in our lives.  At home, you could be responsible for tidying your room or putting shopping away.  At school, you could help your teacher or be a buddy to someone who needs help.  In your community, you can help to protect the environment by putting rubbish in the bin.

Can your responsibilities change?

As we get older our responsibilities can change.  Your parent or carer looks after you at the moment, but when you grow up you will be more responsible for yourself.  For young children, responsibilities are simple and practical, such as putting away toys, feeding pets, or helping to set the table. 

A class charter is a contract that we have devised together as a class. We have specific rights and responsibilities that our class are focusing on and these are displayed on our class charter.  The charter is a reminder of how we should all behave and how we should treat each other in order to respect the rights of every single member of our class.

Our thoughts…

Amber – I have the right to have healthy food to eat and clean water to drink.  I have the right to have a name when I was born.  I have the right to go to school.  I have the right to play and rest.  I have the right to be heard.

Riley – We all have rights and responsibilities and as you get older you get more responsibilities.  I have a right to play and my responsibility would be to not play for too long on video games as it could give you a sore head.

Jorja – We made a class charter and we all signed it.  We agreed to make sure we are responsible with our actions and we should not take other people’s rights away from them.

Grace – The UNCRC has 54 articles and it tells us what the rights are.  Number 1 tells us that all children under (age) 18 have all the rights.  Rights are important as they keep us safe, healthy and happy.

Jude – We have the right to play and the responsibility is to be kind and share and show friendship.

Philip – Rights are important because they protect you.

Oonagh – We are learning about all of the rights and we have a class charter telling you more about it.  We all signed the charter.  My favourite right is the right to have your own religion and beliefs.

P4 at the safari park

Leave a comment

P4 had a fantastic trip to Blair Drummond Safari Park. We watched the sealion  show and learned all about their health and how we can help them by looking after the environment. We got to pet some goats and sheep and we loved how soft they were. We saw lions, an elephant, giraffes and camels. We had a great time playing at the large park and sliding down the bumpy chute. We had a brilliant day out.

Leave a comment

Today we learned about different medicines and how they can help us to feel better and keep us healthy. We also learned about medicine safety and the importance of reading labels and only taking medicines that are for us. We had a fantastic football session learning to dribble, pass and shoot. We loved the game of football hungry hippos! The school nurses talked about healthy eating and teeth hygiene.
Another fantastic day.

Health week in P4

Leave a comment

We had a fantastic start to our Health Week. Our day began with some hip hop dancing, we loved learning a dance to Beat It! By Michael Jackson. Then we had a lovely sunny walk to the bowling club in Polbeth. The men were so patient and helped to show us how to play. Some of us found the weighted ball very difficult to use. We all did manage to give it a go.  We loved our outdoor play in the trim trail and the s’mores , we had help from Mrs Watson and Miss Lindsay. They were delicious. We toasted the marshmallows over the fire pit and squished it between 2 chocolate digestives, yum! We learned about healthy eating,  different food groups and how they help our bodies. In the afternoon we had fun spectating the teachers verses pupils netball game and we all had an ice lolly to top the day off. We had an amazing day.

NYCOS Choir in P4

Leave a comment

Over the past few weeks P4 have been loving our sessions with the NYCOS choir. We have been learning musical skills through songs and games. We have been learning to keep the beat by singing and passing or bouncing a ball to the beat. We have been learning how to follow hand signals to sing a tune and to sing at the correct pitch. Each hand signal represents a note and we are able to sing a tune following the hand signals. We have also been learning simple note annotation and following a set of  pictures. We have really enjoyed our sessions and we are learning so much.
