This week in P4 we have been working on subtracting with exchanging in numeracy. In literacy we have been continuing to use conjunctions to link sentences and in French we have been working on creating dialogues using French vocabulary.

It was so nice to welcome families into the classroom for our Numeracy Open Morning on Wednesday. Thank you to those of you that managed to make it along, We hope you enjoyed getting the chance to see the learning taking place in Primary 4.

We have been learning about why we celebrate Bonfire Night and creating some fireworks artwork using oil pastels.

Leah was the winner of a Ruby Reward ticket today and chose Emily to sit with her at the Ruby Reward table. Well done Leah!

P4 Class Talk Homework Project

Title: ‘Where I live’ or ‘My Hobbies’

Pupils have been given a project to prepare and give a short talk about where they live or their hobbies. Some ideas they could include in their talk are:

• where they live, what kind of house or flat they live in, who they live with, what they like about where they live and what they would like to improve about their local area.
• what hobbies they have, what they enjoy about their hobbies, clubs or teams that they are part of, where they do their hobbies, any special skills they have learned and anything they have achieved that they are proud of.

Pupils can decide how they would like to present their talk i.e. poster, PowerPoint presentation, photographs, bringing in items from home etc.

Children should practise their talk at home to be able to talk fluently to the class, they might want to use notes on paper to help them remember their talk.

Talks should be ready to be heard for Monday 16^th November. 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 all your talks.
