We were watching the short film “Partly Cloudy” and for our writing lesson we were re-telling the story in our own words.

Primary 4 were learning about symmetry and how to create a symmetrical pattern. They used the 2D shapes to create there pattern and a piece of string to show where the line of symmetry was.

Primary 4 have been learning about Ancient Egypt. They used the modelling clay to mould their topical spelling words. After this they got a friend to check their spelling.

Today was No Pen’s Wednesday! P4 were very excited to learn more about dyslexia and what it means to be dyslexia friendly. We watched some videos which explained to us what dyslexia is. We spoke about how the pupils could help themselves, and also how teachers could help them achieve their educational targets!

We consolidated our spelling words by using the painting trays. We practiced spelling our words on the paint and peer assessed our shoulder-partners work.

After lunch we stretched our creative muscles and had a go at making our own Egyptian headdresses. We used paper, foil, sequence, glitter, and paper shapes to create beautiful designs.

P4 loved using the sand trays! They worked together with a friend to test each other on their topical spelling words and then had a go at sculpting a square-based pyramid.

P4 played a game of toss with their shoulder-partner to test each other on what they have learnt in their Ancient Egyptian topic. They spelt their topical spelling words and asked different questions relating to Ancient Egypt.

In science we created a bath bomb. We had to read and follow the instructions.  Our teacher helped us.  We discussed our predictions then tested them.

 

We created sentences using foam letters. This was the class favourite.  It is good because it is easy to fix when you make a mistake.

 

We have key words that we practice in spelling. Today we made them using magnetic letters.  We worked in partners so that we could check each other and help each other.

 

To help us to learn to read, we had to read the phrase then match it to the picture.

 

We know that learning to recognise rhyming words is very important to help us to read and write. We used matching cards to find rhyming words.
