Welcome to our Primary 4 class blog! We are very excited to share our learning journey with you. So far, we have had a really exciting time in P4, learning lots of new routines and becoming familiar with our classrooms. We sing lots of fun songs to help us with our routines. We currently have a morning song, lining up song and tidy up song. We are hoping to learn many more.
As a class, we have set up our room to ensure there is lots of space to move around, play games and work in groups. Our group names were decided by a vote and we have the ladybirds, bees, ants and butterflies. All of the groups have been working super hard to learn the new routines of the class and collect group pebbles. The pebbles result in a treat during Golden Time for the group who has the most.
We have a Star of the Day bag which is where our class teddy Ralph lives. He watches over the class each day and helps Mrs Denholm to make a decision about who has worked the hardest, listened carefully and shared some super thoughts. It is often quite a hard decision to make as so many of us are being superstars in our learning.
We have class jobs to help keep our classroom tidy and organised.
We have been reading lots of stories and our class novel at the moment is Creature Teacher by Sam Watkins. It has been a very exciting story to read and we have had lots of interesting discussions based on this.
“It is the best story in town.” Zainab
“It is full of good wow words.” Jamie
“It is so funny. My favourite part was when the creature was blowing raspberries.” Emma
“My favourite part was when Mrs Blunt got covered in paint.” Muhammad
This week we have been doing BIG Writing and our focus was on using adjectives to describe a monster. We had lots of fun sharing our ideas and even brought them to life by drawing them, carefully looking back at what we had written as a reference. The finished pieces were fantastic and Mrs Denholm was very pleased with our effort.
In Maths, we have been exploring number through a variety of games and resources. We have also used this week to revise some concepts that may have been forgotten a little over the holidays.
