Welcome to P4!

We've had a busy start to the new term in P4 and we're all settling in well.

So far we've been lucky enough to have a visit from Dynamic Earth with an excellent workshop called 'Destination Space' where we discovered what is was really like to be an astronaut.  We found out how to filter water, what to wear and how to sleep in space along with lots of other information.

Last week we visited Glaitness to watch a National Theatre of Scotland production called 'Martha'.  We all really enjoyed the performance and had to think about what friendship means to us.

Tag Rugby

Change of time for tag rugby - instead of going to the 3G pitch on Friday, we will be doing it in school tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

LEPRA workout

Today primary 2 and 3 joined together to do the LEPRA workout to raise money for the charity that helps people with Leprosy.  Here we all are working very hard.

Tag Rugby Fun

We braced ourselves against the wind and were lucky enough to have mainly sunshine for our Tag Rugby today.

Author's Live event

This morning Chae Strathie read us some of his bed time stories, sang songs and helped us create a crazy character with made up words.
We chose a comfy seat, listened well and joined in with the songs.  To keep us nice and cosy we put the lights off, shut the curtains and had a hot chocolate too.
Here are some pictures of us.  Sometimes we are relaxing, other times we are having lots of fun joining in with songs and rhymes.

Authors Live event

Tomorrow (Thursday 21st May) there is an 'Author's Live Event' organised by the Scottish Book Trust.   Jumblebum's, author Chae Strathie, will be reading some bed time stories live to children across Scotland.  P2 will be taking part in this so feel free to bring a teddy and some pyjamas to change into for our cosy reading time.

Information Handling

Our maths recently has focused on finding, organising and displaying information.  This week we are looking at Carroll and Venn diagrams.  The children are able to sort items based on their own criteria and problem solve how others have sorted their Carroll diagrams.
