This week we have been continuing our work on descriptive paragraphs.

We have been learning to use similes, alliteration and descriptive phrases in our writing.

We have also been working on editing and redrafting our work. We have been using a ‘tickled pink’ and ‘green for growth’ system to edit our work before getting the chance to type up a final copy.

We all chose a piece of text that we are currently working on to share with you this week. Look out for the finished piece!

Can you spot any quality pieces of description in our work so far?

This week in Primary 4/5 we have been very busy.
We have undertaken a STEM ‘model house’ project with P6/7.
We are working in small groups to design, construct and create 3D house models using a range of materials.

This week we learned about cardboard attachments. We have used joins such as slots, flanges and tabs to construct our models.

Look out for updates on our models over the coming weeks as we add carpets, wallpaper and more!

This week we also had our first music session with Miss Eggo. We learned about rhythm and beat.

We can’t wait for our next session!

Have a great weekend everyone!

We can’t wait  to start sharing photographs of what we get up to in our very busy classroom.

You can give permission for your child to appear on this blog via a link on the main school blog page.

This week we have been getting very creative and have made some wonderful fox themed art work (look out for some pictures of the finished pieces next week!).

We have also been talking about our goals for this year – including things we want to improve, what we want to learn and things we want to continue to do well.

Have a look!
