Primary 3/4 really enjoyed making lanterns this week with special visitors. We worked really hard and they turned out so well.

Science

We made predictions about substances that are soluble and insoluble in preparation for our experiment next week.

Outdoor Learning

We had lots of fun being outdoors and exploring Catrine for our John Muir day.

IDL

Some of us were getting into the Christmas spirit this week as we started preparation for our christmas fayre.

Maths

This week we were interpreting pictographs. We had different stations that we worked around. We also did some partitioning and adding in chunks.

Literacy

We were looking at the main ideas of a text and we used our book “This Rabbit belongs to Emily Brown”. For our writing this week we were looking at how to write a non-chronological report. We all love the youtuber Mr Beast so we decided to do a report on him. We planned and discussed this as a class this week. We also learned all about commas this week and had super understanding of this.

Primary 3/4 really enjoyed having parents in for our Literacy open morning this week. We loved all of our activities that were planned for us and it allowed us to show everybody what we get up to in class.

Art

We looked at mixing primary colours with paint. We also did some landscape drawings which gave the illusion of depth to create a super piece of work.

PE

This week we got put into teams and took part in a mini tournament in football.

Have a lovely weekend:)

Literacy

This week we looked at how to rhyme and different examples. We made our own visual timetable which meant we had to write the subject and also draw a picture which was relevant. Later on the week we were learning about alliterations. Our text for writing this term is expository therefore we had a go at writing instructions.

We are really enjoying exploring new books from our class library which is allowing us to read for enjoyment.

Maths

Our focus for this term is still number work. We were doing number talks and we also looked at addition. On Thursday we did topic maths which for this term is data handling. We enjoyed looking at and understanding pictograms and it was fun to work in pairs to complete our job.

PE

We had a go at some team races this week. Then we went on to football on Friday where we focused on passing.

Art

We were studying an artist called Vincent Van Gogh. His work inspired us to create some lovely pictures of flowers.

Literacy

This week in Literacy, we learned how to write a book review. This involved us rating the book and write a summary.

“I enjoyed doing it because it was a fun book.” – Callum

We also learned to unscramble sentences in order to make them correct.

In spelling, we looked at syllabification and diacritical marking.

Maths

In maths, we started a new topic which was data handling. We took our learning outside and used our new knowledge to count and record objects outside using tally marks.

Art

Since it is coming up to bonfire night, we decided to do some lovely firework art. They turned out really well.

“We used lollipop sticks, paint and glitter.” – Mia

We all went our separate ways for an afternoon this week to join our committee groups.

“We learned how to play the ukulele.” – Mykayla

“We were looking at pictures and we had to write things about article 8.” – Callum / Braxton

” We designed our own fish to show that we are all different but we swim together.” Logan

ICT

We are still learning new things on our chrome books. We are all getting really good at logging in.

Hallowe’en

We had lots of fun at our Hallowe’en party. We danced, dooked for apples, had good snacks and lots of other nice activities. We joined up with primary 4/5 which was really nice.
