Hi everyone,

 

P4 have been so incredibly busy over the last couple of weeks and we have loads of photographs to share with you.

In Maths we have been finishing off our 2D & 3D work.  Recognising the differences between 2&3D and discussing faces, vertices and edges.  We have now moved on to money when we are reminding ourselves about the coins and notes we use in the UK.  We will be exploring the different ways we can make the same totals.  We will record amounts accurately in different ways  149p =£1.49 and work on our mental agility.

We are thoroughly enjoying our Ancient Egyptian topic.  We have been learning about farming and how important the river Nile was to the Ancient Egyptians. We tried to build our own Shaduf to show how it worked.  We have been learning about Ancient Egyptian crowns and how they related to different parts of the country.  We have been learning about hieroglyphs and trying to write and paint our names on a Royal Cartouche.  We have been creating Ancient Egyptian jewellery for both the rich and the poorer people.  We have spent time creating our own versions of Tutankhamun’s Death Mask – we are so fascinated with his tomb and treasures.

We have spent a long time on Non-Fiction books and are now working on Fiction stories at reading time.  We are working hard on comprehension tasks that make us delve into the text in the book.  We are now starting a new book that is written in plays so we will be having fun acting them out.

 

We have also been learning about the Ancient Egyptian number system.  We can make sums and count using their super old system!!

Take care everyone,

Mrs Ferguson x
