This week in Primary 4 we have been watching news round and learning to take notes using the question; What, where, why, when and who?
We used our notes to create a newspaper article. We would make fabulous journalists. We will continue to develop our note taking skills.
In IDL we have been very busy learning about the fairy tales through Scots language. We wrote an invitation to Cinderella to attend the Prince’s ba in Scots language. We are getting very good at talking in Scots. We also created a comic strip for Cinderella and by golly those hackit sisters are the ugliest things we have ever seen! P4 are great at illustrating a story and have a fantastic imagination. We also used our ‘Wee Book O Fairytales’ to help develop our letter join handwriting. We were very lucky this week to have Miss Smyth in class for a wee change! She taught us some great tennis skills.
This week we started the daily mile. At first there was lots of panting and red faces however as the week went on we learned to pace ourselves and are able to run for longer. This will continue next week. Hopefully we can beat our times.
Next week we have an assembly at the Lanthorn. We learned about the story of ‘The Good Samaritan’ and we have discussed ways that we can present the story in a fun way for the other schools. We have learned a song which tells the story. We only started this a couple of days ago and lots of us know all the words already! P4 are very dedicated.
As well as learning about the story of ‘The Good Samaritan’, P4 have been working hard on their Confirmation preparation. We are now coming to the end of our preparation and ready to begin preparing for the Sacrament of Holy Communion. We have been talking about some Saints this week and learning about their lives and how they lived in the way of Christ. Most of the children have chosen which Saint inspires them to be a better person.
In Maths this week we continued with Time. We have focused on analogue time looking at minutes past and to. Next week we will be learning about digital time and converting analogue times to digital times. Some of us are wearing our watched to school. It is definitely helping us learn the time.
We hope you have a fabulous weekend.
Mrs W and P4
A superb week indeed. I was lucky enough to join you for part of it. I really enjoyed reading Cinderella in scots with you. It’s great to see how you are using this to create pieces of writing!

The daily mile has sure been a big hit for Taylor. Shes loving it! Weve also really enjoyed doing the sacraments homework. 😀
