P4b’s Learning Pit
In P4b, we have been talking about how we feel when we are learning something new. The feelings we have as we don’t understand something or find it challenging (as we go into “The Learning Pit”) and how we feel as we make progress in our learning and eventually succeed (as we come out of “The Learning Pit”).
Growth Mindset in P4
In P4, we have been thinking and learning about learning! We have been thinking about how we feel when we are “stuck” and when we have learned something new. We made a list of what we can do to help ourselves get out of “The Learning Pit”. We have also been discussing attitudes to learning and sorting growth and fixed mindset statements.

Road Safety Week in P4
In P4, we have been learning more about keeping safe around roads as part of Road Safety Week. We have watched and discussed several videos and we have shown our knowledge and understanding by taking part in quizzes. A focus for our year group has been “peer pressure” and learning to act responsibly near roads and vehicles, even when your friends/peers may be encouraging you to do otherwise. We worked in groups to dramatise different situations that made us think about what to do and say to keep ourselves safe. Remember – Drive Less, Live More!
Primary 3/2’s Friendship Assembly
We really enjoyed performing our assembly to family members and Nursery to Primary 3 today. Miss Trotter was very proud of us all.
We have been learning a lot about the value of the month, Friendship. We know how important friends are to us and how to be a good friend. We will treat our friends like we would like to be treated because…. ‘The only way to have a friend is to be one.’
Value of the Month- Friendship- December
As part of our Religious and Moral Education values programme we are wishing to engage parents in discussing this value at home with your children and family to deepen their understanding of the importance of the value and what it can mean to us as individuals.
We are sharing some starter questions and prompts for families to help with this discussion.
Please find below some examples of discussion questions for you to use at home, these are not exhaustive nor do they need to be discussed in order and please feel free to add others of your own.
If you wish you can record this in your child’s homework jotter through notes or drawing or if a parent could write ‘ Ask me about our family discussion on Excellence ‘ in your child’s HW jotter. Some stages have included this in their home learning grids and recording that this has happened can be indicated on the sheet and on the back of the sheet.

P4 Anti-Bullying Posters
In P4 we have been learning about bullying and how to deal with it if it happens to you or someone you know. We have made posters about this. We have also been thinking about how we can be kind to others. We have been playing a kindness game where we have been trying to achieve personal targets for being kind.
