For the Christmas concert on Tuesday 9th December, please wear one of the following options:
Please no accessories (including, headbands or wrist wear) as we don’t want to distract from the Makaton / block people who are stood behind us
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.
Science
We took part in a fun science experiment all about the different states of water and learning about melting and condensation.
Different groups had different materials to use to try and melt the ice as quickly as they could, some were more successful than others!
We then did a condensation experiment and we have been able to find condensation on different things such as the door and someone’s glasses.
We then played the ‘solid, liquid and gas’ particle game, where the children had to move around like the particles do in a solid, a liquid and a gas.
Maths
Multiplication and division fun this week, we started with using concrete materials and have been moving on to more written strategies to help us multiply and divide larger numbers. There has been some great progress with this.
Book Week Scotland
The book we have been focussing on this week is Two Bicycles in Beijing.
This book is set in Beijing, China so we have researched different places in China to write a postcard about.
We learned about different Climates, Landmarks, Languages and Cultures in China (there are a lot!)
We also loved learning about the Chinese zodiac animals and we realised we were (nearly) all born in the year of the rooster!
As the book has some Mandarin words in, we have been learning to count to 10 in Mandarin and have been having fun saying Liu Qi….
We have now learnt all 4 of our Christmas songs in class.
Please make sure you are practising everyday as it really does make a difference!
Remember that We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Away in a Manger are both in 0.75 speed 🙂
P4H were lucky enough to take part in a Karate taster session for P.E today.
There were some fantastic moves on show.
The children took a leaflet with more information on joining in with Karate lessons in Stewarton.
At 11:00 we all took part in a minutes silence to remember those lost in wars.
We also learnt about all the work Poppy Scotland do and why the poppies are used to remember fallen soldiers.
Please support your children by reminding them that toys are not allowed at school. This will help to eliminate distractions during learning times.
Thank you for your support with this!
Homework for the week has been posted in the home learning tab.
What a fun Halloween we have had in P4H.
We have been learning about the human body, so we spent some of our day putting a skeleton together in groups.
We also did some spooky writing about the characters we were dressed up as.
