READ AROUND SUMMER

Wow! Session 22/23 has absolutely flown in and we have had some fantastic memories that will last forever! P5 this year have been a lovely class and I’ve been extremely lucky to have been their teacher.

For our final blog of the year, I’m going to keep it short and sweet. Thank you for all your help, support and good humour throughout this very busy year. I hope that everyone has a fantastic  summer holiday when it comes and that everything you have learned this year will help you next year and further into the future. You are all wee super stars and I’m sure that you will be equally amazing next year as our new P6 pupils!

Lots of hugs!

Another lovely week in Primary 4 despite the weather getting us a bit hot and bothered! Fingers crossed the sun stays with us until our trip to Blair Drummond next Thursday. If you haven’t already, could you please return the parental consent form as soon as possible thank you.

In Literacy, we have been revising our common words from the last few weeks and completed some active spelling activities to help us revise. Alongside our reading books, we have been looking at fact and opinion. Pupils had great fun using blether stations in teams to decide whether statements were a fact or an opinion. We were then able to come up with our own facts and opinions about different pictures. We completed our explanation texts on the process of mummification this week. I was very impressed with the level of detail added to some of the pieces. We then shared our writing with P5 and explained to them the process.

In maths, we have completed our fractions assessments at the start of the week and are now revising place value, addition and subtraction through some active activities. Our outdoor learning activity this week was based on using Egyptian number systems. Everyone put in great effort being codebreakers to solve the calculations using the Egyptian number symbols.

We also had some fun in the sun with the sprinkler during WOW, very refreshing! Taking advantage of the nice weather, we also played rounders for PE.

Here’s to another sunny weekend
