P4 will have regular opportunities to improve their fitness and stamina this term by taking part in “Gym Shoe Camp” – (kid boot camp).

They will complete bench presses, ski jumps, skipping, shuttle runs, squats, arm circles, star jumps etc.

Please take a look at photographs of us during our first “Gym Shoe Camp” below.

P4 enjoy using Literacy games in our classroom to help develop their knowledge and understanding of vocabulary.

Pupils can roll a dice and read story starters/prompts then write sentences on their whiteboards. They can choose words from various coloured envelopes and construct silly sentences.  Pupils can also match up rhyming words and pairs of words to make compound words.

Please take a look at some of our work.

At the end of term 1 P4 enjoyed creating their names in Viking Runes using sticks.

Primary 4 have been learning different ways to help them with their knowledge and understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Pupils have used manipulatives and resources such as hundred squares, number lines, counters, pegs, numicon and arrays to help deepen their conceptual understanding.

Today we learned that addition can be used to help with subtraction sums. Pupils created equations on their whiteboards to demonstrate this.

Primary 4 love kicking off their shoes and relaxing in our new reading area.

Pupils have chosen their own chapter books to read this term and will undertake a range of Book Detective roles to help them to investigate texts.

Our reading area is a great designated area for quiet reading and reflection.

Primary 4 have enjoyed choosing their own chapter books to read this term.  Pupils will complete Book Detective tasks such as:

Word Finder, Highlighter, Question Master, Link Maker, Illustrator and Summariser.

Primary 4 will pick reading task cards to complete as 9 o clock challenges, as extension tasks or as homework this term to help them investigate the texts they are reading.

As you can see P4 love our new reading area.
