This week has been a busy and super technologies week.

“Technologies week is the best week ever” said Mark.

“It has been really fun and awesome.” said Brooke

“It has been really really exciting.” said Ailie

On Wednesday we enjoyed our trip to West Lothian College to visit the Engineering and Science department. During this trip we had a tour of the workshop. We got to see lots of different people working to build walls, stairs, and really cool machines to cut metal.

“I liked seeing all the big machines” said Evie

Finally we got to have a peek at the electricians hard at work. “My favourite was the electricians.” said Caiden. After our grand tour we had a chance to build our own machines.

“My team built an alarm with a horn and lights. This was tricky to build but we got in the end.” said Hannah.

“I built the siren it was really complicated even for the people helping but we got it in the end. It was fun!” said Aoife

 

“I built a car. It was kind of tricky because the wires were hard to put in the tiny holes.” said Adrin

Thank you West Lothian College for a great trip.

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday we had a visitor from Scotch Beef. During this visit we had a look at the different symbols for meat and what they mean.

“The symbols meant the animals never went out of Scotland.” said Mark

“This also meant that the animals have had a very happy life.” Said Gaby

The lady was teaching us all about the vitimans that meat can give you and how this helps your body.

“The meat can give strength, helps your blood cells, it can help with your bones and it can heal your cuts and give you extra energy.” said Jan

“We had a chance to make beef faijtas. They tasted like beef and vegetable. I didn’t really but I gave it a try.” said Joesph

“The faijtas tasted like heaven!” said Rachel

Have a lovely long weekend!

This week has been a fabulous week.

This week we have started our new topic ‘A Wee Book of Fairy Tales in Scots.’

“The first story we read was the Three Wee Pigs.” Said Aidan

“This story was not the same because the words were different.” said Ailie

“It was in Scottish slang.” said Rachel.

“The book is really fun to read.” Said Evie

In drama we were leaning the skill of hotseating. Ailie was the Big Bad Wolf and the rest of the class were the news reporters. We had some interesting questions to ask the wolf about his terrible crime.

Then for art we went a hunt around our garden to find different things objects, shapes and textures to inspire our Big Bad Wolf picture. Take a look at some of our pictures.

Have a lovely weekend!

Primary 3/4 and Mrs Kerr

We kicked off the week with 2 fabulous performances. I’m sure you will all agree that there are real stars amongst P3 and 4! Thank you for all your help with preparing costumes and props and especially for coming to see us perform!

In Maths we have started division with remainders. We can divide by a single digit using a standard method. We have been playing lots of multiplication games to help us learn our tables to help with our division. Brandon really enjoyed ‘All around the world!”.

As it was Burns day on Monday 25^th of January we studied some of his poems with a focus on Scots language. We enjoyed trying to work out what some of the words meant. Rebecca learned that ‘reekin’ meant steaming. Max learned that ‘onie’ meant any.

For writing this week we wrote a recipe for making porridge. Charlie thought it was fabulous. Isla tasted porridge for the first time. She thought it was “Pure dead tasty!”

We learned all about verbs that we might use when cooking. Some of the verbs we thought of were; mix, stir, bake, cook, boil and cut. We had fun playing Verb Splat and learning a verb rap!

When we were doing the show we learned about 3 ‘Great Scots’! One of those great Scots was Robert the Bruce. We drew portraits of Robert the Bruce using line and tone. We did an amazing job!! They have made a fabby display.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend.

This week has been amazing for all of us. This was because we got to perform in front of all our parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters.

Jay said “ It was very very awesome”

Aidan said “I felt very freaked out but after the show I felt very proud of myself.”

Joseph said “I felt like I was going to be sick.”

Rachel said “I was very nervous but after the show I felt tired and happy.”

Mark said “I felt like I was doing something crazy as I had never done anything like that before. I was glad that I remembered all of my lines.”

Haseeb said “I liked that I got to stand in for my friend Kacper as he was not at the night show.”

Ailie said “I just felt really excited and nervous at the same time.”

Aoife said “I felt that I was a little bit scared and after I felt happy because that I had completed my challenge.”

All of primary 3/4 would like to thank everyone who came to see us and who helped to organise our costumes. Thank you parents for helping us practice our lines.

From all the boys and girls in p 3/4

Have a super weekend! 🙂

 

 

This week has been busy and fabulous! said Shannon

We have been so busy doing our final practice for our show. Today we performed our show for the whole school.

Jay-P said “I felt nervous”

Caiden said “Thumbs up!”

Lukasz said “I felt proud.”

Yesterday we had time to squeeze in some writing. We made a Scottish dessert called Cranachan.

Charlie said “I likes id because it was great”

Rachel said “I liked it all except the raspberries.”

Now we can make a full Scottish dinner.

We hope you have a fantastic weekend!

P4 have been rehearsing lots this week and now we are ready to perform. We had a dress rehearsal this morning for the whole school! We were fantastic! There were roars of laughter and even tears! We just know you will love it!!

In Art this week we painted lots of Scottish thistles and red roses to decorate the stage. We also created our own family tartan to make buntin. The stage is looking fabulous!!

In between rehearsals and music practices we have also been working super hard. This week we started division using a standard method. At first we found it quite tricky but we think we are getting the hang of it now. We have recognised that we need to know our times tables very well in order to do division so this is something we are going to continue working on. We are ready to tackle remainders next week. We had a little flavour of this with our challenge questions this week.

At the beginning of the week we were noun detectives. We had an opportunity to look through our books and highlight lots of nouns. We learned all about common nouns, pronouns and proper nouns.

We are now ready to relax and prepare over the weekend for the big day on Monday. We are rather excited to say the least. Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday.

Have a wonderful weekend

Mrs W and P4
