Literacy

This term we will receive reading books home and will complete tasks relating to these books. More information about this will follow soon. We will continue to develop our spelling and should be practicing these at home (on top of required homework tasks).

Numeracy

We are continuing to use Big maths on a daily basis to increase the accuracy and speed of our mental maths. Please continue to go over the Learn Its, which we all have a copy at home.

HWB

Our class have just begun The Daily Mile, where we run, jog or walk for 15 continuous  minutes each day to improve our fitness and in training for our sponsored walk to Peterculter.

  IDL

This term we will have a few mini topics before we begin are main focus. We have the ballet recidency at the start of term and will look at why we have daylight savings hour. We will continue to fund raise money for Cromdale  and plan to put on a pantomime at Christmas, which will be our main focus this term.

During Term 1 the children enjoyed learning about the Vikings as our topic.

We did a lot of work throughout the term including measuring the length of a real Viking long ship; designing our own ships to see if they would float; retelling Viking legends using comic strips and we even had a Viking feast!

This term we are going to be learning about the importance of Recycling. If  children could please take in items for junk modelling or adding to our compost pile, this would be greatly appreciated.

Behaviour

In Primary 4 the children have been working hard to earn raffle tickets. These are given when we do something well or behave in a responsible manner. The Star of the Week is then pulled out on a Monday morning from the tub which contains the previous weeks raffle tickets. The more raffle tickets we get –  the greater the chance of being the Star of the Week!
