We can’t believe that we are into October already and the holidays are just a week away…

Primary 3/4 have been busy again this week with lots of good work being produced.

Literacy

Primary 3 /4 have started doing handwriting everyday which we are doing really well with.

This week we started a new phoneme, which was ‘ow’. We all recognised this sound and came up with some good words. We also worked really well as a class to use our spelling strategies to help us spell these words.

We also started some new books this week in order to improve our fluency in reading. Along with this we have a new class novel called ” That rabbit belongs to Emily Brown” which will allow us to focus on reading and comprehension strategies. Our first task for this book was looking at prior knowledge. We all got involved in the discussion and came up with some really good ideas.

Our focus for writing is still descriptive writing. This week we took our learning outside and completed a job in pairs based on the five senses. Our ideas were fabulous!

“I really liked taking our learning outside today. I learned things I didn’t know.” – Cole Morrison

Across the Curriculum 

For our topic this week we looked at viking runes and we had a go at writing our names. We all really enjoyed this and our names turned out super. They will go up alongside our longships and shieds.

“It was very nice to do because we were writing like vikings.” –  Callum Stakim

Numeracy

This weeks focus in numeracy was number patterns and sequences. We all really enjoy our rotations and are always enthusiastic because we love learning in different ways.

PE

Our team building skills are improving every week. We are starting to use our knowledge and listening skills to be safe in the hall.

Outdoor Learning

We loved being in our houses and heading out to do some learning in the community all thanks to Mrs McCaig for organising our John Muir day.

“It was really fun because  it was good to learn while exercising.”
