Mrs Rush
We used videos by Jessie and Friends, Digiduck and Smartie the Penguin to learn all about how to be safe while visiting the internet.
We learnt the Funny Tummy song from Jessie and Friends. This tells us that when we feel worried, sad or scared while using our devices, we should tell a grown-up.
We learnt that the internet is a place that you visit through tablets, phones, games consoles, laptops and computers. It is important to be respectful, but also apply Stranger Danger online, just as you would in person.
We learnt how our senses keep us safe
We shared ideas in 3 groups and wrote senses poems
Some people have impairments to their senses.
This means they may need help from people, animals or things to do things they want to.

We focussed on exploring Braille this week. Exploring the book The Black Book of Colours
Check out the alphabet card here
We used the alphabet sheet to draw our names and then use split peas to create our names.
Here is our wonderful display, celebrating our unique selves! We know who each self portrait belongs to because of the colour of their eyes, skin, hair and clothes. Do you?
Check out Primary 4’s recording of the book The Same But Different Too
To celebrate Racial Equalities Week 2022 Primary 4 have recorded The Same But Different Too by Karl Newson and Kate Hindley (with kind permission from Nosy Crow Publishing) to share this wonderful story with all classes while we cannot have assemblies and shared learning events. We hope you like it!!

“We were tasting and one of them was sweet and one of them was salty” Corey
“We were putting our hands in the box to feel what was inside of it and we had to guess what it was” Mason
“Sometimes the lines looked different but they were actually the same” Jack
“Optical illusions” Corey
