Happy Friday and another busy week in Primary 4F, here’s our highlights:

In Literacy, we have been looking at non-fiction texts and their features and how they differ from fiction books. Our reading books were all about Wild Weather and Night Animals which pupils really enjoyed learning some facts about! We had a revision week for spelling, practicing the phonemes we have learned over the last few weeks.

In Numeracy, P4F have been very busy working on our multiplication skills and using different strategies including arrays, repeated addition and equal groups to help us. We created Cityscapes using our knowledge of arrays for the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Some pupils were able to apply their knowledge of arrays to different tables we’ve not yet looked at which was fantastic! We have also been working time with Mrs Ferguson learning about o’clock and half past the hour.

We started our new IDL topic of Chocolate and Fairtrade this week and begun by looking at the history of chocolate. Pupils has to use their teamwork and problem solving skills to unjumble the timeline created using the key events they had learned about. We had great discussions taking place. I’m excited to see where this topic will take us!

A quick reminder homework is handed out on a Monday to be returned on a Friday. Your support with this is much appreciated and supports the work children are completing in class.

Have a lovely weekend,
