Happy Friday Everyone,

It’s been a busy week in P4S with lots of revision of our multiplication facts and using this knowledge to answer column calculations when multiplying 2 digit numbers by a single digit number. We spent time talking through the strategies to use and how to set the calculations out in our Numeracy jotters.  By sharing our knowledge with each other, by helping each other with our understanding, it means that we were able to follow the strategy step by step where it might before have been a bit confusing.  Most of us agreed that this helped a lot.

This week, we have learned about Chinese New Year and the story of the Chinese Zodiac (where all the different animals were chosen by the Jade Emperor to represent a new year in the Chinese Calendar).  To celebrate, we made colourful Chinese Dragons.

 

We have also been practising our Scots Verse Poem (Street Talk) and are working on a piece of Robert Burns art which will be displayed outside our classroom soon.

In Literacy, we wrote a letter of complaint which pupils completed in a most polite way and gave very strong arguments for their opinions.

It’s been a busy week, have a lovely weekend,

Best wishes,

Miss Steedman
