During literacy time P3/4 have been exploring and understanding the importance of the skill of visualisation when reading text.
We first discussed the term ‘visualisation’ and then pupils worked together to identify the important information within a description that could help to create a visual image in their minds.
Each group had a different short story to read and then draw a picture to represent the short story.
The pupils loved this activity and found it interesting that everyone’s drawing looked unique because we each visualise and interrupt situations differently.
P3/4 are continuing to work with money up to £20 and use their knowledge of column calculations to add and subtract different monetary values.
Today we discussed the importance of having a budget and how to calculate the total cost of items and how to calculate the remaining value of change left over.
We linked our learning to the wider world of work by becoming shoppers ourselves. Each group were given a set budget which they could spend on items from a Lidl catalogue.
Pupils completed 3 important steps:
1. Pupils selected the items they wanted to buy
2. Next they added the total cost of the items
3. Lastly they subtracted the total cost of items from their total budget to calculate how much change was left.
Today P3/4 recognised science week by learning about bees and why they are so important for our world and ourselves.
In recognising that bees play a very important roll in our survival we decided to help our bees survive by planting flowers so that they can continue to pollute our earth.
P3/4 loved being gardeners for the afternoon and planting flowers just in time to welcome our bees back for spring. 🐝
Today P3/4 honoured World Book Day by reading to the P1s in the garden. They loved sharing some of their favourite stories and encouraging the P1s to read along with them.
P3/4 truly embraced their role as a leaders in our learning journey.
P3/4 continued to link our learning of time into our P.E. lessons and became sports coaches for an afternoon.
We participated in many different challenges improving our speed, strength and stamina as well as becoming more confident recording and reading digital time.
Below we can see the pupils in teams with each team member having a very important role.
P3/4 have been linking their knowledge of time to the wider world of work. We have been using different methods and devices including sand timers, stop watches and analogue timers to record time in minutes and seconds.
In class we participated in a series of interactive group activities where pupils would take turns to record how long it would take their partner to complete the activity. Pupils would then record their own individual times as data in a table format.
In P3/4 we love to celebrate our wider achievements and share our own talents with the class and school.
Below some of our pupils have expressed themselves through their wonderful creations and some have been presenting themselves as a great role model in acknowledgment of World Thinking Day.
Well done to all the following pupils.
Wils has used his creativity and craftsmanship skills to create his own luxury hotel out of recycled materials.
Harriet has displayed skills of numeracy, creativity and STEM to create this amazing piece of art work using string and card.
Amelia has displayed acts of respect, and wears her Brownie uniform with pride to acknowledge that it is World Thinking Day.
P3/4 have been reinforcing their knowledge of fractions and getting creative by identifying how we can use our knowledge of fractions to help us in every day life.
We learned some knew vocabulary to help us better understand fractions.
The denominator is the number on the bottom of the fraction and it tells us the number of equal parts we have in total (in one whole).
The numerator is the number on the top of the fraction and it represents the number of equal parts we have out of the whole.
Our challenge was to use different materials to make everyday objects like a pizza and then divide these items into different equal parts to represent different fractions. Pupils would then explain how they achieved this remembering to use the term denominator and numerator.
