We have had another busy week!
We have really enjoyed working collaboratively with our buddies from P2 and with our new spelling partners and reading partners! We have worked hard on understanding Scots this week which is very tricky! We have also been busy developing our understanding of money and establishing the correct change.
Our classroom is always buzzing with activity (apart from during ERIC time when we all read our own books quietly).
A huge well done to
Carly M
for
being kind, helpful and hard working!
Children will be given a new focus phoneme for spelling once a fortnight. There will continue to be a spelling test on a Friday however for now the children can decide how they would like to develop their understanding of words containing the selected phoneme.
We use many different activities in class to support the development of spelling. Here is a helpful list just incase:

Today we tried our hand at writing Scottish themed Cinquain Poems. Can you follow the formula to create one of your own…
The Formula – Cinquain Poems
Line 1) a one-word title, a noun (a person, place or thing)
Line 2) two adjectives (words that describe the thing)
Line 3) three ‘ing’ verbs (words that tell you what your noun does)
Line 4) a phrase (or sentence about the noun)
Line 5) a synonym for your title, another noun
Example
Cinderella
Humble, Sweet
Working, Dreaming, Believing
Heart full of hope
Princess

Week begging 14th January
This week the P4 boys and girls will be learning 2 different sounds.
Foxes = ore
Badger & Hedgehogs = ai/ay/a-e
They will focus on these phonemes for two weeks. Please play with them and encourage them to build their knowledge and understanding around theses sounds and blends.
We will be working on the following CLIC Targets this week
C – I can read 3 digit numbers
L – 4 x table
I – I can swap object & I can add thousands
C – I can solve any 3 digit + 2 digit equation
Try to make any maths work at home as fun as possible – games, puzzles and jigsaws are a great way to start. It is also important to show how we use maths skills in our everyday lives so try to involve your child in this.
We will be focusing on the concept of money during term 3.
Try to encourage your child to identify and use all coins and notes up to at least £20 and explore different ways of making the same total.
A huge well done to
Kieran C
for
his tremendous effort & hard work this week!
Yoga in P4!
A warm welcome back to Term 3!
I am really looking forward to seeing what we can achieve this term.
