P4/5 Mobile Library Visit

Mobile Library Visit

Today we were very excited to have an opportunity to choose a book from East Ayrshire’s mobile library van. Mrs Sweeney organised this visit for us as part of our journey to become a  Reading School. 
We were amazed by the selection of books in the van. Everyone took their  time to look at the covers, read the blurbs and then help each other to choose. These books will stay in school. 
Afterwards, we spent some time in the shelter exploring our books and sharing the titles we had chosen with each other. We can’t wait for our next visit and to choose another book in a couple of weeks time. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P4/5 Science and Technology

After reading chapter 2 of  Danny and the Champion of the World, we learned that Danny and his dad liked to make and fly kites.
We were inspired to learn about the science behind why kites fly. 🪁
We decided to test out some of our research and make 2 different styles of kites. We then predicted which kites would be the best at flying. We went out to the playground to test our theories.
We had lots of fun running to get enough wind to launch our kites in to the air. Ask us all about what kites worked the best.

P4/5 Literacy and Numeracy

We have had an exciting couple of weeks back at school. Lots of active learning and collaborative activities.
We have been working in partners to practise our spelling using dictation. We love supporting each other by peer assessing our work.
In numeracy we have been learning to round numbers and estimate values. We have played lots of games to consolidate our understanding. We have also been practising our 4x table and looking for patterns to help improve our speed and accuracy.
