We would like to wish all our pupils and families a restful and peaceful Christmas break. Merry Christmas, we look forward to welcoming you back in the new year!

Primary 4 Love Learning

Our IDL theme this term has been the Romans. We have been learning lots of new information about these people in the past and how we know about their lives from examining evidence. We were very excited when we got to handle real life Roman finds which were discovered during a dig in Falkirk, at Mrs Donald’s mum’s house. We had already discovered the Romans had been in that area, through our investigation of the Antonine Wall, and this evidence confirmed what we knew. We loved being archaeologists and trying to piece the finds and evidence together.

In art we have been learning about the use of colour. We have been looking at primary colours, and investigating by mixing to make secondary and tertiary colours. We have loved a bit of messy work and experimenting with colours to develop new colours and shades. We have then used this in our art activities and creating beautiful pieces of art.

P4 Home Learning

Primary 4 have been enjoying working on our homework grids over the last few months. Some children have been creative and made models, others have photographed the changing moon and others have been spreading kindness and Christmas cheer. Many of us have confidently shared our activities and are very proud of our learning.

Here are some examples of what we have done.

Internet Safety

One of our Primary 7 pupils has been working really hard to provide some important information on how to stay safe online and proudly shared her leaflet detailing some great advice. Our Digital Leaders would like to use this fabulous piece of work to display in all classes and share with our families at home. Well done!

PE in P4

This week in P4 we have been focusing on our throwing, catching skills, while working on our dodging and spacial awareness. These skills are coming in useful as we take part in the competitive team game of Benchball.

Also this week we have been learning some new Ceilidh dances in preparation for our Christmas party. We found the turns in the Gay Gordons tricky, and the Military Two Step was too fast to begin with, but after some practice, we are very proud to say we have cracked it! We are looking forward to learning more dances next week!

Learning in P4

Primary 4 are continuing to work hard out of school on their home learning tasks this month.

Wyatt worked hard to create a Fort using recyclable materials. He worked to ensure he included even the little details of the weapons and animals inside.

Mrs Black had a lovely surprise on her desk this week left by a very kind pupil. As well as being a thoughtful gesture, it helped to remember the importance of the poppy and all that it stands for.
