We have been lucky enough to spend Thursday afternoons doing P.E at Stewarton academy, taught by the S4 pupils.
We have enjoyed doing different activities and games and visiting the academy.
We have had 2 sessions so far and have our last session next week 🙂
This week we have been doing a lot of eating in P4, with pancake day activities and baking our own bannocks.
A bannock is a traditional Scottish bread.
The children have been developing their measuring skills, alongside our school values of teamwork and responsibility when baking.
For homework going forward, children will be assigned the same book on giglets for 2 weeks.
On week one children will have a task to complete using the book, the following week children will have a different task to complete using the same book.
Please let me know if anyone needs another copy of the log-in details sent home 🙂
Children should use giglets to practise their fluency and expression whilst reading – as well as their comprehension skills.
P.E
Some of our pupils had the chance to lead some P.E lessons this week, this was a fantastic way for the children to develop their leadership skills and put their football teaching abilities to the test. Well done boys 🙂
Numeracy
We have been looking at equivalent fractions using concrete materials and seeing if we notice any patterns when writing them down.
Scots
We looked at the story of The Three Little Pigs and had a go at translating sections into Scots.
We also had the chance to practise A Dug, A Dug with P4W.
Mystery Reader
We were lucky enough to have a visit from a mystery reader on Friday,
Children had to guess who they were and they also prepared some questions for them.
We are learning the words to Amy MacDonald – Pride.
Here is the link for anyone who wants to practise at home 🙂
The home learning tab has been updated.

Alongside the whole class being assigned books weekly on Giglets, some children will be given a physical copy of a book to read at home.
Please ensure these are looked after and returned each Monday.
Please Note: No new books will be issued without the return of the previous book.
Numeracy
We have been learning about fractions and comparing sizes of fractions through games and different activities.
Reading Strategies
We have learnt to summarise this week, or as some in the class like to call it “getting to the point!”
Writing
Our writing programme is continuing, we took the chance to look back to when we first started our writing journey to see how much progress we have made and it is fantastic to see the difference. Some jotters were chosen to take and share with other schools and everyone who saw them was very impressed.
Topic
As Scots week is coming up we have been learning about Scotland, the children were especially interested in learning about all the different famous people who are from Scotland.
