P4 Loves Languages

P4 have been celebrating the diverse collection of languages spoken in our school community, as part of Scotland Loves Languages week.

We researched how to say “Hello”, “Welcome” and “How are you?” in a variety of different languages and wrote these in our playgrounds to make our families feel welcome to our school as they pick us up and drop us off.

We have been developing our knowledge of the weather and colours in French through lots of games and fun activities. We have also been working on some Spanish with Mrs Boadley.

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!

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!

The Romans

P4 have been investigating the past and developing their knowledge of the Romans. They have been very busy with their homework tasks over the last few weeks and have been taking on all kinds of learning challenges.

One of our pupils has been to visit the Antonine wall as part of his home learning.  He confidently shared his learning with the class through his photographs of what he had seen and read. Did you know the Antonine wall was built to extend Roman Britannia north from Hadrian’s Wall? The wall was designed as a frontier for the empire, and a barrier to raiding Caledonian tribes.

Another enthusiastic P4 pupil has been busy at home, looking for where we can still see Roman numerals today. Her clock at home is a terrific example of this.  She has also been busy creating Roman forts and buildings from recycled materials.

Another P4 pupil chose to make a roman fort from recycled materials as part of her home learning. She provided a super explanation of some areas found inside the fort and some common external features.

 

Well done P4!

Remembrance Day Assembly

On Friday at assembly we shared the very important message of remembering and the important symbol of the poppy. P3/4 helped to share this message with all their work they have been doing in class, from the beautiful poppy wreath, powerpoints of key facts and a touching poem they learned.  Thank you for helping us remember!

Primary 3/4 Flight Play

Primary 3/4 have been investigating flight and their knowledge of things that fly. Last week P3/4 pupils spent time playing and exploring with a variety of construction materials and how they could use these materials to make something that flies.

The pupils chose the construction material to use and made their own decisions about the type of flight item they would build. We had a wide variety of flying objects, from an aeroplane to pterodactyl! The children had great, imaginative designs and persevered even when they found things difficult.
