Primary 4 and 5 took on the challenge of the Daily Mile for the World Daily Mile Day. Everyone participated well, we have some great runners at St Mary’s

We did 12 laps of the playground, no cutting corners some of us are very keen to do it more regularly.

Today in Primary 4 we spent some time in the garden planting vegetables .

We have planted potatoes , onions , carrots , broccoli , lettuce and pumpkins .

We found it very interesting how all the seeds looked different and we were surprised to be growing potatoes from potatoes .
This is connected to our topic of planting and farming.

The first week of gardening club was a great success.

We have prepared the planters for the new season, taking all the weeds out and feeding the soil with fertiliser.

We also organised our new polly tunnel.

We look forward to some planting next time.

This week in Primary 4 we have been learning all about Vincent Van Gogh. We then created our own flower pictures.

In maths we have moved on to pictographs and bar graphs.

We had our first Shrek rehearsal this week, in class we will be working on helping to create set backdrops.

It has been a busy couple of weeks in Primary 4!

This week we have enjoyed the lent activities, the Easter fun fair was a big hit .

We also enjoyed the school career fair on Wednesday, chatting with all the different professionals, we were all very inspired.

Last week enjoyed a fun St Patrick’s day we made Shamrock Shakes and had lots of fun.

In maths we have moved from measure to money and we have managed to tie in both areas in our class lent fundraiser which is guess the weight of the Easter basket. The winner will be announced next week

We have also been taking part in a technology project where we have worked together to build bridges from recycled materials. We have all enjoyed this challenge lots!

Lots of us are looking forward to bunny bingo tonight, good luck to everyone going.
