P4/3 Visit to the Library

Leave a comment

Continuing our celebration of books and reading for enjoyment during this Book Week we went for a visit to West Calder Library. The rain did not put us off and we had a lovely walk into West Calder. Ann the librarian was very welcoming and delighted to see us. She read us a very funny David Walliams book about a little girl who brought her pet snake to school. We then played an alphabet game and we had a little biscuit. We then spent some time looking at the books and we all checked our books out using  the machine. Thank you so much to Ann for our lovely visit.

This week we have enjoyed time with our friends during Committee Time…we wrapped up warm and enjoyed fun times on the Trim Trail.

In Literacy we have focused on the initial sound ‘g’ and have begun to look a telling the time to the hour in our ‘Beyond Number’ studies.

We have also started a new topic and are looking at the wonderful word ‘Under the Sea’.

We had a lovely break but have thoroughly enjoyed our first week back with our friends.

Artist Study in P4

Leave a comment

As part of our IDL topic of Europe we will look at some famous people from across Europe. This week we started with France and the famous painter Claude Monet. We learned he was born in Paris and was an artist from a young age. He is famous for his impressionist style and we started to study his techniques. We focused on watercolours and we learned 4 techniques which can be used with watercolour paint. Next week we will use those techniques to create a ‘Water Lillies’ picture just like Claude Monet.

Maths week in P4

Leave a comment


To celebrate maths week we have been having some fun with numbers. We have enjoyed playing Sumdog and completing the challenges. We went on a litter pick and as we collected the litter we completed a tally mark sheet to record the different types of litter we found. We then added up each total to see which type of litter was the most common. It was great to see how maths can be used in practical every day situations and tasks.
