Today in P4, we launched our new topic - Bodyworks! The class enjoyed showing off all the knowledge they already had about the human body before learning about what a system is, what systems we have in our body and how they help us to live. We then held our own scientific investigation to answer the question "Do long legs equal long jumps?". The class had lots of fun while practicing their measuring skills, staying fit and active, thinking about the body systems/parts that were helping and working well in their individual teams.
Well done P4!!

During literacy today, I found myself thinking how calm and peaceful the class was. There were groups of children working away at their tasks and I was supporting a group but I knew some had finished quicker than expected and had been given free choice. Where were they?! I expected the noise of lego construction or ipads or any other game/toy in the class. Instead, they had all chosen to choose a book to read and I was able to capture this photo of them all lost in their own world. A nice, positive midweek moment. Thanks P4!
Mr Mitchell As part of our activities in Emotions Work we have been using a series of books featuring different animals. The children have been learning facts about hippos, llamas, rhinos etc. For example what do llama's ears tell us about how they are feeling?! They have also been using their playdoh to recreate some of the animals. Can you guess what they are meant to be?
We have been learning more about telling the time in different ways and using different clocks. Hopefully the children will continue to use and develop these skills in their everyday lives.
After the October break we will be learning about different angles and co-ordinates. As part of Maths Week Scotland, P4 had an imaginary day out around Galashiels. Throughout the day we were set challenges by various members of the local community who had sent us videos needing our help. We designed some new patterned tiles for Tile Style, helped Lisa at the Pool with some of her questions and even heard from a local firefighter!
As part of our Building Resilience work, we have spent some time talking about the different worries that Primary 4 might have as well as the worries that the grown ups in the class sometimes have too.
We read the book 'The Very Hungry Worry Monsters' and then made our own worry monsters to look after us in class - we hope you like them! What better way to spend a Friday than heading out of the school and helping to clean up our community?!
Primary 4 jumped at the chance to join in with the Langlee litter-pick and as you can see from the photos they definitely looked the part, while showing great care and respect for their town throughout. Well done P4 and everyone else who took part! :D |
