Symmetry

Today in Primary four the children were making symmetrical patterns with beads. The children had up to 2 lines of symmetry. The children were so engaged and loved the outcome. 

Anti Bullying Week

Today we celebrated Odd Sock Day. The children all wore odd socks to school. It’s ok to be different! We made odd socks on Just2Easy with a partner. In literacy we read the book ‘The Lion Inside’. After discussion we made paw prints showing how we can be kind at home and in school. We also drew one of the main characters-the 🦁.

To end our Topic writing on Grace Darling we read over our newspaper reports and highlighted our success criteria to ensure everything was included. We then shared our work with our friends. Some people enjoyed reading theirs out to the class. Well done boys and girls! 🤩

P3/4 STEM Challenge: Designing a Boat for Grace Darling

As part of a STEM challenge, P3/4 pupils were tasked with designing a new boat for Grace Darling using only three sheets of tinfoil, one sheet of card, a straw, and a small ball of blue tack. Working in groups, the children selected a boat shape and collaborated to bring their designs to life. Once built, each boat was tested to see if it could float without taking on water and withstand a simulated storm created with a hairdryer. The activity encouraged teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving, all while linking to historical learning.

Rescue At Sea Display

Our P3/4 pupils have been busy writing a recount based on the brave story of Grace Darling. the process involved lots of planning, learning and editing before completing our final pieces. We self assessed our work to check we had included everything needed. Once finished we used Just2 Easy to transform our writing into a newspaper article. The children typed up their recounts into the Newspaper template, added images and came up with a captivating headline to grab the readers attention. We let our friends read our recounts. To complete our writing we created striking lighthouses in art, inspired by where Grace Darling lived. The children showed great creativity and enthusiasm.

Literacy
