Welcome back to our blog.

Literacy

In reading and writing we have been exploring rhyme schemes. We have used this knowledge to help us write limericks.

We had a great laugh writing our limericks!

One of our favourites was:

 

There once was a young boy called Stu,

Who opened a brand new zoo.

He fed the animals food,

But they were in a bit of a mood,

So they left him a big pile of poo!!

Well done Cameron, Zak and Eilidh.

For spelling we are exploring all the different representations of ‘ay’. Pupils are doing a great job recognising all the different ways we can make ‘ay’.

Numeracy

Pupils are continuing to make super progress with multiplication. We have been creating new facts using our knowledge of multiples of 10. We even created games to help us practise!

Pupils are also becoming confident using the grid method to multiply. We enjoyed racing against each other in a game to practise this strategy.

IDL

To finish off our current IDL topic we became experts and researched a Scottish inventor. We had lots that we had to include in our presentation, including a timeline. We presented our research to each other and asked questions.

We explored the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the famous Scottish architect and artist. We followed a step by step video to help us create the famous ‘Glasgow Rose’ in the style of the artist. We then used our knowledge to create our own designs using the rose.

CLASS REWARD

As a class, we work hard together to be the best we can be. When we have collected enough shiny stone points we enjoy group rewards. This week, we had celebrated enough group rewards to enjoy our next class reward. We voted on a class game of hide and seek, however the weather was not very kind to us, so we enjoyed 30 minutes of games instead. We had cars, Simon says, chrome books, art tasks and so much more!

Poetry- ‘Last Nicht’

All pupils worked so hard to learn a Scots poem and they all performed it in front of the class. They did a wonderful job with lots of super actions and great expression! Finalists were chosen and another teacher chose our final winners. A big well done to all of P4/5. You made me very proud with your poetry!

Congratulations to Ryan, Robyn, Zak, Blake, Lucy and Georgia.

Thanks again for reading our blog.

Have a wonderful February weekend and I’ll see all the class back on Wednesday! 🙂
