How PEF and School
Improvement has made a
difference in our class
Primary 4 have been working hard in Numeracy and Literacy this term. With the help of our Learning Assistant Mrs Sherry we have been taking more of our learning outside. We went outside to help us with:
- Greater than and less than
- Our 2,5, and 10 times tables
- Rounding numbers to the nearest ten/hundred
- Mental Numeracy
Fractions – we went outside into our playground to make our own fraction walls. We had to think about wholes, halves and quarters.
We shared our learning intentions and remember to’s at the start of each lesson. We also thought about which skills we would use.
We are always Self Managing Squirrels who keep our work organised.
We have also been taking part in the Reading Project with Sue Ellis. We decided to change our DEAR time to a Reading Café.
Once a week we get together and choose a book. We then read the book in a place of our choice within the classroom. Afterwards, over a juice and a biscuit we get together with a partner and discuss the book we have read. Mrs Sherry our Learning Assistant also takes a group who want to be read to.
We have been working hard on improving our writing. We went outside and had to choose a rock, stick, leaf or flower. We shared our learning intentions and remember to’s. We were using creative skills for our writing.
