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!
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.
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!
