Welcome back to our P4\/5 blog! I can’t believe we are at the end of our first month in 2022 already!<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pupils have been really enjoying their work on Scots vocabulary. In our reading we have been using strategies to help us identify the meaning of unknown words. We looked in detail at our Scots poem ‘Last Nicht’ and used our strategies to work out what our poem was about! We used our learning to retell the main events of the poem.<\/p>\n

In writing we have been working extremely hard! We wrote descriptions in Scots and we even included alliteration!<\/p>\n

A braw broon brock wis blawing up balloons.<\/p>\n

We have also been reading a variety of poetry styles and identifying the features of them. This week we created our own cinquain poems. These poems have a structure based around the number of syllables in the lines.<\/p>\n

In spelling, we are focusing on silent letters. Pupils are taking part in a variety of activities to build their confidence spelling words with silent letters. We have been on phoneme hunts, timed spelling activities, fixing the errors and much more!<\/p>\n

Numeracy<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Maths our pupils have been outside measuring heights and lengths using various measuring tools. They particularly enjoyed using a trundle wheel to measure the length of the playground. Can you believe it\u2019s 66 metres- not quite the length of a football pitch which we discovered measures 91 metres.<\/p>\n
