Couldn’t be prouder of these Glee Superstars and the rest of the children that gave it their all last night. P4 summed their experience up in 3 words – amazing, magnificent, exciting!
They also said, “It’s all in the name – It made me feel GLEE!” 
Good morning P4. I have been learning lots about SWAY over my snow days so I thought I would create one for you today. Use the arrows in the bottom right corner to navigate through it. Hopefully this will inspire you to create a SWAY yourself. Have a Marvellous Monday, I cannot wait to see you all! đ
UPDATE!
Toronto will now open on Monday so we may have a look at these different activities in class!
Good morning P4 – another day of snowy fun!
Miss Munro’s quote of the day đ
If we were all in class just now, we would be getting ready for our SPELLING TEST. Why not test yourself at home? Get somebody to read your words to you. You could even write your words into the snow. Will you get 7/7 today?
Continue practicing your times tables using our MULTIPLICATION MASH UP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgjCLhoI9Mk) I will be testing you all when we return to school!
The staff at Toronto met over a Skype call yesterday and we were all wondering what this “Beast from the East” looks like… Put your imagination and creativity skills to the test and draw a picture of the beast to share when we return to school.
If you are out in the snow today, challenge yourself to make a sculpture from the snow – Try something other than a snowman. Make sure you take photographs of all your amazing creations!
Above all, keep extra warm, stay safe and have the best time EVER. Have a fun filled weekend and thank you for sending me all of your amazing photos and videos so far – I am loving them!
Miss Munro
Good morning Primary 
4Â and Happy World Book Day!
Miss Munro’s quote of the day đ
I really enjoyed receiving all of your photos and videos and hope you have just as much fun in the snow today. If you are looking for more fun activities to do, see below:
draw what you can see outside, grab a piece of paper and scissors and create a snow flake or use your imagination to create your very own Winter Wonderland.Have a wonderful day in the snow and I cannot wait to hear even more of your stories from the last 2 days. If you have any photos you would like to share, please send them to shannon.munro@westlothian.org.uk – I look forward to seeing all of your snowy adventures.
Miss Munro đ
Thank you for all of the photos and videos dropping into my email. You are all making me want to get out and have fun in the snow. Keep them coming, stay safe and keep warm âď¸đ
Good morning P4! The school is closed today due to severe weather conditions so we will keep in touch with you through the blog… Since you can’t read our quote of the day on the whiteboard here is one for you đ 
Below you will find a variety of learning activities that will keep you busy today. You can reply to the blog post to share your learning!
1) Make sure you have lots of FUN. Get out in the snow and have fun – I want to know who can build the biggest snowman. Take lots of photos and share them on here. If you are going out, please remember to wrap up warm – it is very cold outside!
2) We like to warm up our brains in class with our MULTIPLICATION MASH
UP… Why don’t you do this at home? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgjCLhoI9Mk) Let’s see who can remember all of their times tables without looking on the screen #challenge
3) It is WORLD BOOK DAY tomorrow… Why don’t you keep your pj’s on, find a cosy corner to sit and get lost in your favourite book?
4) Now that we have Mrs Gingell on side for our Terrific Tuck Shop, our next mission is to get the rest of the school on side. We will do this by creating a video advertisement to show everyone at assembly. If you are watching the TV today, look out for the different adverts that are on, grab a pad and pencil (most of you will have your homework jotters – you can use this!) and write down all of the GOOD things about the advert, and if they used any PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES to convince you. We will now be one step ahead for our writing lesson next week!
5) Why don’t you practice being part of a video advertisement? You could create a weather report on today’s weather or find a toy that you really LOVE and persuade everyone else that they should buy it too. Think about the adverts that you have been watching, particularly how long they are, the tone of voice, and the persuasive techniques used!
6) Since we have planning permission now for our tuck shop, we really need to start thinking about how it will look. Can you design the outside of the tuck-shop (this can be completed in your homework jotter) and a logo for the tuck-shop. We may have a competition to see who has the most EYE-CATCHING, COLOURFUL and SIMPLISTIC logo, which will be used for our Terrific Tuck Shop. Here is an example of logo’s below – remember they are not big detailed drawings!
7) You could help out around the house today since we are all sprinkling our kindness around like glitter. You could do this by helping to make lunch or dinner, tidying away toys you have been playing with, hanging up your wet clothes to dry, shovelling the paths outside with an adult, helping with a sibling…
8) If you have access to a computer or tablet, there are lots of fun and interactive websites that you can go on. I have added a list of links below with different maths and spelling games:
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Search.aspx?Subject=16 (hit the button or sharing equally)
https://www.sumdog.com/ (sumdog logins should be in homework jotters)
https://kidsspell.com/
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=just+dance (we all LOVE just dance – If you can’t get outside today, stay active in the house with a little SWISH SWISH)
MOST IMPORTANTLY… Have lots of fun and stay safe. I cannot wait to hear all of your amazing stories about your day in the snow. Miss Munro đ
Primary 4 have started their BIG plans for their new healthy tuck shop (opening for business soon!) They realised that they could not start building in the school without planning permission from Mrs Gingell. Luckily we have been working SUPER hard on our persuasive writing that we were able to write fantastic persuasive letters to her. The builders paid Mrs Gingell a visit today – let’s hope we get the planning permission that we need!
UPDATE!! PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED!
You made it impossible for me to refuse permission for Toronto’s Terrific Tuck Shop. You gave many excellent reasons for why we should open a healthy tuck shop. In your letters you listed
lots of important skills you will develop through this process.
And most importantly, you have done some excellent research and you will be selling grapes, which you know are my favourite fruit – very persuasive P4 đ
I look forward to the grand opening!
Mrs G
Come to our birthday parties to make sure you get an equal amount of party treats. We had lots of fun dividing up all of our goodies between our 4 guests… What a fun way to learn division! #everybodyisequal
Primary 4 were excellent today at practising their badminton serves. We were working on our hand-eye coordination to make sure we were sending the shuttlecock to our partners. Our target for next week is to send the shuttlecock back and forward 5 times without it hitting the floor. We love a challenge! 
Primary 4 are so sad to say goodbye to Morris but we wish him all the best at his new school. Children from our Glee Club changed their song lyrics to “Take on Dunoon” – Have a listen.
All the very best from everyone at Toronto!
