23.9.22 P4hs

We have been really busy in P4hs this term.

We are continuing to read our class novel ‘The Wild Robot’ and enjoying it very much.  We will share our reviews soon.

We really enjoyed doing some junk modelling recently.  We had to work together in groups to create a robot. All the groups worked really well together and created some fantastic robots.

Last week we made a class scarecrow.  We used different fabrics, paper and items of clothing to make our scarecrow.  We are proud to be showcasing our scarecrow at the MacMillan Coffee Morning on Friday 30th September.

We have really enjoyed getting back into the hall for our whole school assemblies.  It’s great to be back together singing and learning.

In our class we have started ‘Star of the Week’.  Millie was our first star and we are looking forward to hearing who will be our next star!

We have started our Egyptian topic and can’t wait to find out more about hieroglyphics, mummification, Egyptian clothing, landmarks and the pyramids.  We used oil pastels to create our own Egyptian masks – they are on display in our classroom and they are fabulous!  To tie in with our shape topic in maths we also drew some 3d pyramids!

P4hs Blog Update 2.9.22

We have been learning lots of new things in Primary 4hs! 

In Literacy, we have been exploring descriptive writing. We discussed different adjectives we can use to describe a character and a setting, and we have also written a creative story about a robot already. We are going to use this new knowledge to help with our writing to enter the West Lothian Bathgate Hills writing competition!

In numeracy we have been revising place value and we can now use this to help us with our addition and subtraction using carrying. In maths we have been exploring shape and symmetry. 

We have been reading an exciting novel called “The Wild Robot” to go along with our technology topic. We have explored our novel through our writing and expressive arts where we recreated the front cover using monochrome effects. We even learnt a bit about coding! 

We have been enjoying P4 so far and look forward to learning all about the Egyptians next!
