Multiplication Stations

The children in Primary 4 continued their work with the 7 and 3 times tables and had a carousel of activities they would rotate throughout the lesson. The first activity was on Sumdog and the children used the laptops to complete the multiplication games and focused on whatever times table they had been practising. The second activity was a worksheet station and the children had times table wheels to help them with the number processes and to build on their prior learning. The final station the children took out the resources in the classroom and used sets of and groups of to create multiplication calculations. Great Numeracy work this week Primary 4!

Physical Education – Fitness and Agility Circuits

Primary 4 started their fitness and agility circuits for this block and they were learning about why circuits are important when preparing for sports and the different skills and techniques involved when doing them. The focus for the children this week in the circuits was speed and balance and we also discussed why you need to take breaks in between activities to give your body recovery time. The children really enjoyed it and did very well for their first lesson.

James and The Giant Peach

The children started their new class novel this week and that was James and the Giant Peach. The children enjoyed reading the first couple of chapters and completed work on predictions and visualisation after they had read the chapters. The children created their own giant peach to put on the wall, including some adjectives to describe how James would be feeling.

 

Thanks for all your hard work this week Primary 4!
