Nemesis kickboxing! Thank you so much for coming in to show us some kickboxing skills!

Sports day 2026! We had a fantastic time at sports day and we are so glad it stayed dry for it!

Pop Art and Mr. Men / Little Miss Characters

We explored our creativity through pop art, inspired by the Mr. Men and Little Miss book characters. We began by looking closely at the different characters and discussing their personalities. Each of us then chose a character that we felt best represented our own traits.

Using these choices as inspiration, we created our own pop art-style characters, expressing ourselves through bold colours and designs. We then read the stories linked to our chosen characters and shared with others why we felt they reflected who we are.

We had so much fun at the Colour run last week, we had so much fun we didn't manage to get many photos! We will make sure to take lots at sports day this week! Thank you so much to our parent council for organising it :)

We had so much fun learning about the meta-skill of creativity! We used our questioning skills to help develop our ideas even further. As part of our learning, we designed and built bridges using Lego, then tested them to see which could hold the most toy cars. Every bridge was different, which showed how unique our imaginations are. Throughout this activity, we also demonstrated a range of meta-skills, including leadership, focus, collaboration and teamwork.

Primary four had so much fun yesterday, we started at the RADS festival which involved 10 different stations using skills we have learned throughout the year including speed and agility. We then headed back to school had a quick lunch and got ready for a very fun (and wet) outdoor learning session! We had great fun regardless of the rain, we love getting to explore the outdoors! A massive thank you to all our families who were able to make it along to our session yesterday!

Good Morning Primary 4, Remember when you are off today you can still access Sumdog, reading wise, Big maths at home or you could practise some of this weeks big maths targets and spelling words!

Money

We had lots of fun when completing our first lesson in our money topic! We were experimenting making different amounts, coin rubbing, sorting coins in ascending and descending order and how many different ways we can create an amount!

Term 4 Overview

P4 had a fantastic time exploring the outdoors today as part of our Eco and Sustainability topic. We searched for different types of minibeasts and were excited to find worms, caterpillars, spiders, beetles and even some flies. The children also created their own “bug hotels” to give these creatures a cosy and safe place to stay.

This learning helped us understand how to care for our environment and protect the habitats of the creatures that live around us. The class showed great curiosity, teamwork and respect for nature throughout the session.

Primary 4 have been learning about friction through a series of hands‑on experiments. Pupils investigated how different materials affect movement by building ramps and bridges and testing how far toy cars travelled on each surface.

Primary 4 have been developing their understanding of number sentences and mathematical symbols. We used Expressions Dominoes to help us practise the outcome “I can find the missing numbers in number sentences when symbols are used.”

Through matching dominos, pupils had to think carefully about how different operations work and use their number knowledge to solve for the missing value. This active approach encouraged teamwork, discussion and problem‑solving, helping pupils explain their thinking and choose efficient strategies.

Primary 4 have been linking their fractions topic with their Food Health learning. Pupils explored how fractions are used in real-life situations such as measuring ingredients, dividing food, and following simple recipes.

As part of our Food Health focus, pupils also learned about:

• Preparing food safely

• Cooking food safely

• Personal hygiene routines

• Safe behaviours when handling and consuming food

Throughout these lessons, pupils worked towards the following experiences and outcomes:

• “I can consistently and independently demonstrate personal hygiene practices.”

• “I can consistently and independently demonstrate how to be safe when preparing or consuming food.”

Pupils enjoyed hands-on activities that helped them apply classroom learning to everyday situations, building their independence, confidence, and understanding of how to keep themselves healthy and safe.

CLIC

We have been working so hard on our CLIC this term, our results on a Friday show our hard work and motivation during the week as they are consistently getting better!

Library

We had so fun fun on our monthly visit to Kincorth library today, we got to pick new book to take back to school wit us!

Fun 31

We have had fun exploring new areas of our classroom this week. We have created a recycling centre ahead of our new Eco & Sustainability topic starting. We have had workers sorting through resources deciding if they need to be binned or if we can create something new from them. Children have created their own recycling bins from old materials, we have been having so much fun with it! Other children copted to use the new writing area and create some valentines day cards, practising their writing skills! While others opted for some imaginative play using our dolls house! We love to use our imagination and skills here in P4 and we learn so much through our play!

Big Sing Lessons

We had so much fun on our big sing lesson learning the French song we will be singing! We can't wait for the event in May!

Library visit

It was so nice to be back at our local library today, exploring books! We all picked on to take back to school with us and we will read it over the next 4 weeks!

CLIC

We have been looking at counting in fours and our four times table this week. We have been looking at fact families for multiplication and division around the four times table! We all have different methods that help us learn these, we have been listening to some songs, playing games and using concrete materials to help us learn!
