Maths

Primary 4-5 are still learning to read analogue and digital time with Miss Davie and calculate time durations. They will move on to reading and using timetables. With Miss Riley we are reading and drawing graphs, charts, and tables. We will be collecting data, interpreting it, and answering questions. The children still work on their mental maths skills at the start of the day or at the beginning of a maths lesson each day.

 

Literacy

The class are still working on their reading comprehension skills with Miss Riley and using these to answer questions on their reading books. We have been looking at Blooms Taxonomy and using each level to pick apart our books and create higher order thinking questions.

We wrote newspaper articles in the third person for our Easter holiday news and the children found this quite challenging! Lots of the children managed to include direct quotes and write in formal language which was excellent.

Music

The children are doing music with Miss Davie this term and are learning to read music and play accompanying music on the glockenspiel.

 

Modern Languages

Spanish – the class are learning foods, and to order food in a restaurant setting.

French – We have been learning to start a conversation and parts of the body. We then used our knowledge to create French monsters!!
