Primary 2 enjoyed Pancake Day this week. We learned about why we have pancake day and the part it plays in our calendar. We had a big discussion about our favourite toppings and then enjoyed some pancakes, fruit and syrup.

In maths we started to learn about multiplication. We have been learning how to make equal groups and how to add those equal groups to get the total.

This week in Primary 4 we have been learning about Lent. We have looked at the three pillars of lent prayer, fasting and almsgiving. We all made our own Lenten promises in preparation for Easter.
On Wednesday we were privileged to lead the Ash Wednesday mass. We all read beautifully and should be very proud.

On Tuesday we celebrated Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as Pancake 🥞 Tuesday. We learned the reasons behind this day and enjoyed participating in eating the pancakes 🥞. We had to use lots of our measuring skills and had fun making and eating the pancakes.

We have been also learning about how to keep ourselves safe online. We had a good chat about what we enjoy doing online and when being online might become unsafe. We have created our own “keeping safe” rules and together we have made a poster to remind us. We have been using Interland to work through internet safety.

Today is Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday. To celebrate  the last day before Lent we chopped fruit and decided on our favourite toppings for our pancakes.  We had lots to choose from, Nutella, jam, syrup, strawberries and banana.

We managed to complete our tealight holders today. They had dried over the holiday and we added paint to make them colourful.

What a busy last week of term we had in Primary 4!
We enjoyed participating in the schools Scots Poetry competition, our three class finalists did us proud, getting up on stage in front of the school. Well done 👏

We have also been enjoying our new science 🧪 topic, making predictions, completing experiments and writing up our findings. Our focus was on dissolving things in water, what dissolves, what doesn’t and what speeds things up. We created our own rainbows 🌈 in a bowl!

We also had lots of fun creating our own raps to a beat of music, we enjoyed performing these to each other in class. We enjoyed making a beat and finding rhyming words.
