World Book Day and Careers Day!

• We have had a super busy week!
• First of all, on Thursday it was World Book Day. We had the best day ever. We got to come to school dressed up as our favourite character. EVEN Miss McFarlane dressed up. She was pretending to be Mrs Twit it was so funny.
• We did lots of fun activities. After playtime we went to the library and one of the library ladies read us some stories. It was a great treat!
• After the fun on Thursday, we came into school on Friday (today) to find out it was Careers Day. 
• We got to meet lots of different people and they told us all about their jobs. We met a nurse, a fireman, a radio presenter and lots more. It was so cool!

STEM Fun!

• Every week we work in the STEM Hub doing different experiments.
• We love going to the STEM Hub and getting dressed up like proper scientists!
• This week we used different strategies to make a 'balloon rocket' and we tested to see which balloon was the quickest.
• We have done lots of experiments in the STEM Hub, ask us all about them!

 

 

 

 

 

• Primary 4 were getting creative for the local poster competition.
• The children were given the task to design a poster to promote Faifley as a 'friendly' environment. They have absolutely loved using their creativity during this activity!
• The winning poster will be chosen at the end of February. Good luck to everyone in Primary 4!

Scottish Country Dancing

                                                       Scottish Country Dancing

 

• Primary 4 have been busy working on their dance moves!
• We have been learning various ceilidh dances such as, Military Two Step, Canadian Barn Dance and the St Bernards Waltz.
• We weren't sure if we would like the dancing but we actually really enjoy it! :) 
• At our Christmas party, we will be using our new dancing skills to boogie with Primary 5.

Our Musical Morning with Tommy

                                                                                         

     

                                                                                                

• This week with Tommy (our music motivator) we were learning to understand and write musical notes. 
• He taught us about the beat and rhythm of music and we drew our own musical notes/symbols.
• We also learned new actions for the song we have been practising.
• We sometimes do something really fun called the funky chicken-ask us about it!
• We love when Tommy comes to work with us on a Friday. It's so fun!

 

• We have been learning about the Romans and have been working very hard. 
• We have learned lots of interesting facts about the Romans and are working on our assembly where we will share some of our learning with you.
• We worked in groups to make these shields. It was quite tricky but we worked together and got there in the end. 
• First, we had to make a plan for our shield and share our ideas. Next, we used our plan and then painted our design onto the cardboard. It was really fun and it was quite messy but we loved it. The real Roman name for a shield is a scutum.
• We have absolutely loved learning about the Romans!
