P4’s sunny afternoon adventures in red

P4 enjoyed an afternoon at Play in a Pod, with some children building and running their own own pizza parlour- complete with tills and a delivery service- to playing tennis with an oversized tennis ball and guarding our classmates’ buildings while wearing mermaid costumes.

When we weren’t enjoying the wealth of Play in a Pod resources and stretching the limits of our imaginations, we were busy painting our soon to be Ancient Roman shields.

It was helpful that earlier in the day we had taken part in the Kickstart a Heart charity CPR training session while wearing red, as quite a number of children (and teachers) may have returned home with a few added touches of red paint to their outfits. Rest assured that our paint is water based!

Primary 4 Learning

We took our French learning outside this week! In the playground, we photographed different colours and labelled the pictures in French on our iPads.

As part of our IDL topic on Ancient Rome, we worked in groups to retell the story of Romulus and Remus through drama. We also learned about Roman numerals, linking our topic work with Maths Week Scotland.

A lovely walk in Figgate Park gave us plenty of ideas for our writing. Back at school, P7 kindly showed us how to use the library and how to borrow and return books using the computer system. Thank you, P7!
