Good morning P4. What a successful day we had yesterday. You are all doing extremely well and I am super proud of you. Today will be the last day I assign work to you until after the Easter holidays so I hope you all manage to have a great time off enjoying it with your families. Feel free to post anything you get up to over the holidays if you want to keep in touch with your classmates but please do so only on the Playground channel.

*Can I please remind you that if you do upload your work on your e-portfolio that you let me know through the post on Teams*

This morning your assignments will go live at 10am and I will be on here between 11.30-12.30pm and 2-3pm to answer any questions you have regarding work or if you just need a chat.

Money work- you have been given a £10 budget to shop for dinner for a family of 4.  Look online to ‘buy’ your ingredients to make your meal and write down a list of what you purchase, how much it cost you and what change was left.  Remember this is pretend, you don’t actually have to go and buy the dinner.

You can either buy ready meals that just need cooked or you can challenge yourself and buy ingredients to make the dinner.

For example, if you’re making macaroni cheese with garlic bread, you will need to purchase pasta, cheese, milk, butter, flour, garlic bread and then any drinks you want.  Have fun!

Literacy 1^st April

You are going to be completing a few assessments for Reading, Writing and Talking & Listening today of all the skills we have been learning this term.  It is very important that you complete all of these on your own (no help from parents or the internet) to the best of your ability.  I will mark these at the end of the day and grade how well you have achieved these.

Good luck and let me see how far you have come since January.

Complete each paper and submit to your assignment.

Lego Challenge- 1^st April

Good morning P4. Another successful day yesterday with most of you being able to use Teams. There are still a few teething problems for some of you, but these seem to be getting less and less. Keep trying with uploading work to Teams and hopefully we will all be able to do this successfully in the coming weeks.

I realised last night that I had set your fact file assignment to be handed in yesterday afternoon and I’m sorry about this. I meant for it to be handed in on Friday afternoon to give you time to research your animal. Well done to all of you that managed to complete it yesterday- give yourself a virtual Rising Star.

This morning your assignments will go live at 10am and I will be on here between 11.30-12.30pm and 2-3pm to answer any questions you have regarding work or if you just need a chat.

Remember to post about your PE workout on the Gym Hall channel. You can add a photo of you in action or just write a post about your times.

As soon as you come on to Teams or the Blog this morning can you just write a little comment about how you’re feeling today and what you are looking forward to doing. It can be school related or about something else.  Lastly, Mrs KcKee posted on the school blog the Super Stars for the week for each class so make sure you go on and have a look. Have a lovely day!

Happy Monday P4a. Mrs Green

Good morning P4. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and were able to get outside in the garden for some fun and fresh air. You all made such good progress last week and I hope you enjoyed working on Teams and completing your assignments. I’m going to ask you to try really hard and stick with Teams, uploading your work to assignments. I will continue to post on here in case you are still experiencing some difficulties but hopefully we will be able to work through these together and have you all working on Teams.

I’m going to set you a little task just now that I would like you all to answer on Teams as a post or comment on this post so I can see who is engaging with Teams or the Blog. Write a sentence or two or upload any pictures you took over the weekend to let the class see what you were up to. It would be lovely to hear all your weekend news. Have a lovely day and remember to have fun!

Have a lovely weekend.

Since returning from the holidays we have been talking about the opportunities a new year brings.  We discussed ways of improving our lives that are achievable and thinking about what we want to achieve by the end of Primary 4.

We have decided to make a time capsule that we will bury in the school gardens and dig up at the end of the year to see of we managed to achieve our goals.

We are looking for an appropriate container to keep these in.  Preferably  a tin would be best (a large tin of sweets).  If anyone has anything could they please bring it into school as soon as possible.

Thank you:-)

We have another busy term ahead of us with lots of exciting things to look forward to.

To find out more about what we will be learning in class have a look at our Term 2 Jigsaw Sheet.
