Literacy
We have all transformed into writers over the past month. We have been learning lots about the elements of a story. Then, we have applied this learning to help us write our own stories. First, we planned our stories by thinking about the character, setting and plot. Then, we used our plans to help us during the writing process. We are very proud of the stories we have produced. As well as this, some of our Primary 4 pupils have enjoyed being the teacher for our Primary 3 pupils during our Spelling Quiz time!
Maths and Numeracy
Across Maths and Numeracy we have been really lucky to work with Mr McCrae - our student teacher. Some of us have enjoyed exploring ,money, measuring, place value and time. Miss McLauchlan and Mr McCrae can't believe how hard working we all are!

RME
In Primary 3/4 we have enjoyed learning about religions around the world and places of worship. We started by discussing with a partner what we already know about this. It turns out we know a lot!
"We learned about Synagogues, Christians and Mosques. I go to Mosque" - S
Story Mountains
Have a look at some of our Story Mountains. We used these to plan our stories.

STEM
Mr McRae has been teaching us how to create and construct our own models. We have been learning how forces can affect how our models move. We all worked with a partner to build our own balloon car. Once we had built our models we realised that we had to adjust our designs to make them move faster.
