Violin

Today we were looking at rhythm. We were plucking rhythms on the violin or using the claves. We also looked at the different parts of the bow. Well done to Alyssa and Jay who played their very own composition in front of the whole class! They were brilliant!

Forces of Flight - Thrust

Image
Primary 4 were busy entertaining some visitors this morning with our knowledge of the four forces of flight! Today we were looking at the push force, thrust. We created our own balloon rockets then made our own film canister rockets outside. What a fabulous day we have had!

Model Planes

Image
This afternoon after learning all about the lift force, we made our own plane models. We flew these in the playground to see the difference wind, weight and drag had on the flight. We had lots of fun!

The Bernoulli Effect

Image
This afternoon we were learning about the four forces of flight. We were looking at the 'lift' force and the role aerofoil wings play in helping a plane fly. Fast flowing air in the top of the wing results in low pressure. Slow flowing air under the wing results in high pressure . This higher pressure under the wing is a greater force than the force acting downwards on a plane, therefore creating lift. We used a ping pong ball and a hairdryer to demonstrate the Bernoulli Effect.

Remembrance Service

Well done to Gulshin and Kian who represented Primary 4 by laying our class wreath at today's Remembrance Service.

Junior's Exciting Surprise

Image
For Halloween this year, Junior dressed up as a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Biscuit. His Aunty sent his photo off to Tunnock's after our school Halloween Disco. This morning, Junior received a very exciting gift in the post from Tunnock's! He couldn't wait to share this news with his friends!

Push, Pull and Collision Forces

Image
Today Primary 4 were learning about the three forces: push, pull and collision. They were set a challenge to think of as many push and pull forces as they could in a given time! Results will be shared tomorrow... Did you know that a force can: • move an object • speed up an object • slow down an object • change the direction of an object • change the shape of an object

Target Time

We have had a fabulous week with lots of learning taking place! This afternoon at target time children were drawing, playing games and making structures.
