Happy New Year! It has been a great start back to school this week in P4N, we have been very busy!

We have been writing about our favourite day of the holiday. Our star writers included lots of detail and great punctuation: Ryan, Layla and Ruairi, well done!

We have also been exploring our class novel further and discussing what we would need to survive on an island. We chose someone to write a letter to, as if we were stranded on an island and the work was fantastic!

We completed a book review of our previous reading book and we were given our new reading books this week. In our reading circles we read and explored the first chapter.

Our spelling words this week have been tricky, with our rule being ‘n’t’ e.g. shouldn’t, didn’t, couldn’t – please test us!

In maths we have been revisiting the subtraction strategies we practiced before the holidays and we have also been looking at number stories, here is an example from Lexi:

62 – 20 = 42

62 – 42 = 20

42 + 20 = 62

20 + 42 = 62

 

 

We have also started the 8 x table this week with Mrs Tavendale.

P4 are excited about our new topic – The Vikings which we have began this week. We discussed what we know already, what we would like to know and how we will find out.

 

 

Thank you all for reading our blog, have a lovely weekend! 🙂
