Some of us decided to play Rounders during Golden Time, making the most of the sunshine 😎

We have been learning that a pattern is something that changes in a way that repeats. This knowledge is being applied to help us understand space-related patterns: • Day/night pattern • Seasonal pattern • Lunar pattern

☕️ HOT CHOCOLATE TUESDAY ☕️ Today was the start of our “Hot Chocolate Tuesday”, a reward for pupils who have gone above and beyond in school. Well done to our first group of learners 🌟 @beancross.bsky.social

Upcoming dates for your diary.

We continued to learn about the differences between rotation and revolution. We used the Thinking Classroom format to share what we remembered 🤔

What a lovely, relaxing start to our final term 🌿We’ve kicked off our new topic, Art in Nature. P2–7 have been busy exploring outdoors, collecting natural objects and bringing them to life through charcoal drawings.Next up: creating our own sketchbooks to capture ideas and observation 🎨✨

In our Space topic, we have been learning about rotation and revolution 🌍🔄☀️ In pairs, the outer pupil played Earth and the inner pupil played the Sun, to demonstrate our planet’s journey through Space.

Fun in the sun! ☀️

A big thank you to all the classes who attended our Easter Enterprise today! We worked very hard and had a lot of fun making and sharing our items with you. A thank you also to our parent helpers who joined our class for this afternoon’s Easter Extravaganza Walk 💜

We enjoyed the Easter Enterprise. Well done P4! @mrsinclair.bsky.social @mrsswanbx.bsky.social

Our Parent Council have organised a fantastic Easter Fayre. Details in the poster below!

One of our reading groups has begun a new novel 📚 They have been practising prediction, visualisation, description, accurate/expressive reading, and asking/answering questions.

A big congratulations to these superstars for their success in a dance and cheer competition! 📣

Following a @pact-falkirk.bsky.social professional learning session at @grangemouthhs.bsky.social, our class tried the ‘Thinking Classrooms’ format during yesterday’s lesson about money. In randomised groups, pupils attempted to solve a problem using vertical surfaces to show their thinking.

We have started our Easter Enterprise topic this week. On Monday, we started to think about what we could make and sell 🐣

P2-4 have been working hard to finish their clay pinch pots - just in time for Mother’s Day! Perfect for keeping wee trinkets in or simply having on display. Ask your child how they made it 🥰👩🏻‍🎨 @missmelvillebps.bsky.social @mrsinclair.bsky.social @mrsmclachlan.bsky.social @mrsswanbx.bsky.social

Letters went home with P4S pupils today to explain how to access BorrowBox 📚🎧 falkirklrs.borrowbox.com

@mrsinclair.bsky.social We have been learning how we can gather data and ways we can present our findings. We learned about Venn diagrams and even created our own to ask our classmates! 🤩

@mrsinclair.bsky.social Over the past few weeks, we’ve been learning how to use connectives and up-level our sentences. Ask us to use one in a sentence! ✍️ 📝

To conclude our Electricity and Forces topic, we built a range of series circuits to supply bulbs, buzzers and propellers with an electrical current. We discussed how to keep everybody safe, and we learned about the difference between electrical conductors and insulators.

Through pictorial representations and learning of appropriate vocabulary, we are developing our understanding of common fractions.

Happy World Book Day from P4S! @beancross.bsky.social @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social

Check out this incredible artwork by one of our talented pupils! 🎨🖌️

As part of our Electricity and Forces topic, we played a magnetic fishing game. We predicted how many paper clips we would catch using different magnetic shapes, then compared these predictions with our actual scores.

P2-4 have been enjoying creating clay pinch pots for the last couple of weeks - forming, texturing and painting them. They will hopefully be finished next week! 👩🏻‍🎨 🎨 #BPSExpressiveArts

This week, we are working on an Art and Design unit called ‘Feelings Through Art’. Today, we started by discussing how colours can show feelings. Pupils identified warm and cool colours, and they associated these with different feelings.

Last week, we began to explore forces 🍎🌳 We talked about the difference between contact and non-contact forces, completed a classroom forces search, and wrote an information text about what forces are.

Last week, pupils recounted their learning of the human body. We then used our knowledge of the senses to write an explanation text about how they work, with the sense of touch being a key focus.

@mrsinclair.bsky.social Our class had a fantastic time taking part in the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch this week! 🐦 🪶 We carefully observed and counted the birds visiting our school grounds. Amazing work everyone! 💚 #BigSchoolsBirdwatch #RSPB

With @mrsjack.bsky.social, P4S have taken part in @rspb.bsky.social’s Big Schools’ Birdwatch 2026. Although it was a rainy day here, our windows allowed pupils to observe and record their findings with great success. Well done! 🦉

Last week, P4S began to explore the impact of electricity on people and place. We discussed examples of electrical and non-electrical items, why electricity is important to people, and how making electricity impacts the environment 🌍

As part of Languages Week Scotland, P4S worked in trios to create French fact files.

Our Parent Council have arranged a Dress Down Day for tomorrow.

To kick off our celebration of Languages Week Scotland, P4S began their language portraits. Pupils included the flags of countries of significance to them. This may be where they were born, where they holiday, where they have friends, or the languages they speak. @drparnellbps.bsky.social

We worked incredibly hard last term on our Christmas Concert. Across P4, we performed ‘Feliz Navidad’ and ‘Jingle Bell Rock’. It was wonderful to see such a turnout on the day!

We continue to work through the UNCRC Outright campaign. We have learned about international aid, what is takes to keep us safe, when people might need help, our rights and the rights of others. @rightsbeancross.bsky.social

Last term, we had a big focus on developing our inference skills. The class had great fun practising this with digital texts. We are transferring this to printed texts this term too.

@mrsinclair.bsky.social P4S have been transported back to the 13th century! As part of our Scottish Wars of Independence learning, we’ve been busy creating our very own legendary Scots warriors. We were developing our fine motor skills while deepening our understanding of Scotland's past. 🛡️🏰

@mrsinclair.bsky.social P4S artists have been creating fantastic snowman drawings using chalk! They explored different techniques 🎨 and experimented creating different textures ⛄️

To celebrate Children in Need Day, many of us dressed in ‘what makes us smile’. @rightsbeancross.bsky.social

Congratulations to this P4S pupil placing 3rd in Beanie’s Got Talent! He worked so hard and regularly attended practice sessions during his lunchtime. We are very proud!
