P4 Class Talk Homework Project

Title: My Favourite Film or Book

Pupils have been given a project to prepare and present a short 5 minute talk about their favourite film or book.  The presentation should be as detailed as possible and should include information about the genre, characters, setting and plot.  Pupils could also include their favourite parts and the reasons why they like them, or ways they think the author or director could have made them even better. Pupils could also use other ideas to enhance their talk e.g. PowerPoint (sent by e-mail or saved on a pen-drive), drawings, diagrams or items from home.

Pupils should practise their talk at home as often as possible and use a timer to help. They may want to use notes or prompt cards to help  stay on track.

All talks will be assessed using the school’s Talking & Listening criteria, which is also available on Glow.

Talks should be ready to be present the week beginning Monday 11^th May.

Further details will be posted on the class blog as to which day pupils will be presenting their talk.

If you have any questions please email me at: laura.mckenna@eastayrshire.org.uk

I look forward to hearing your talks.

It has been a busy start to the first week of term 4!

We have started our new book study ‘The Hundred Mile An Hour Dog’ by Jeremy Strong.

In numeracy we have been learning to tell the time on digital clocks and calculating how many minutes to the next hour.

It’s that time of year again when we have been creating artwork for the Catrine Show. The theme this year is ‘Spring Garden’ and we have created tulip pictures using oil pastels and watercolour paint.

We have been learning how to use Google maps to complete an ‘Around the World Scavenger Hunt’ in Technology.

We went for a class walk to the river this week.

It’s hard to believe that today is the last day of term 3!

Primary 4 have been decorating eggs for our whole school Easter egg competition this week. The pupils came up with some great imaginative ideas when decorating their eggs.

Well done to Poppy who was the P4 winner for her super egg decorated as a lamb in a farm.

Have a great Easter holiday!
