We had great fun using the knowledge we had learnt to create models of 3D shapes. It was tricky at times getting the sticks together, but everyone showed patience and perseverance. Well done!

P4/5 RSPB big bird watch
We braved the elements to go outside and participate in the RSPB big bird watch. There were a variety of different birds and it was interesting to watch their movements and behaviour.
P4/5 Scottish foods
As part of our Social Studies topic, Scotland, we explored the production of oats from field to bowl then we made some delicious Scottish porridge 🏴
P4/5 – 3D Shape Venn Diagram
We have been using Venn Diagram to sort 3D shapes by their properties. The class were then challenged to create their own criteria to sort the shapes by.
P4/5 – Tessellation
With our knowledge of 2D shape, we have been exploring tessellation.
We created our own tessellation patterns by hand and then used Shapes within Word to create tessellations too!
We used the shape tool, the fill tool and learnt the keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste.
P4/5 – 2D Shape
We have been investigating 2D shapes including more complex shapes such as rhombus, parallelogram, octagon. We created posters explaining the properties of these shapes including the number of sides and the number of vertices.
P4/5 – Numeracy – Number Talks
This week in Number Talks, we have been revising all the different addition strategies we have learnt. We selected a chilli challenge calculation and then completed the addition calculation using 4 different strategies – adding in chunks, vertical calculations, place value and compensation.
We had great discussion about which strategy we preferred. We also recognised that sometimes our favourite strategy might not always be the quickest or most efficient. Great work, P4/5!
P4/5 Literacy
In literacy we have been learning to create pieces of procedural writing and this week we focused on a recipe for a jam sandwich.
P4/5 – French
We have been revising numbers 0-30 in French. We used Numicon to make the numbers and our partner had to say the number in French. Bravo!
P4/5 Maths
Exploring, learning and reinforcing times tables with Numicon.
