In Primary 4B we have been really busy since the start of the new school year getting to know our new teachers (Mrs Dougall and Mrs Nisbett) and getting used to our new classroom.
We have read the books of Dr Seuss. We started off by reading “Oh! The Places You’ll Go” and we made our own balloons depicting what we would all like to achieve this year. We then read “The Lorax” and talked in class about the environmental impact of The Once-ler cutting down all of the trees, we looked at the use of colour in the book and the difference that the pollution made to the illustrations and we carried out a character analysis of The Lorax himself and decided whether we would like the Lorax to be our friend
“I would like to be his friend because he is funny and fluffy” – Ethan
“No! He is always grumpy” – Teo
Our whole classroom is Dr Seuss Themed and the children created beautiful Truffula Trees to decorate our Library Corner where the Dr Seuss books have been extremely popular.
We have been learning about punctuation and using our Kung Fu Skills!
In maths we have been concentrating on times tables, place value and rounding. The children have enjoyed working with the Hot Dots and the Stile Boards as well as creating Tangram pictures.
The children have worked very hard to create their class charter and they focused on some key words including trustworthy, caring, helpful, but most of all Kind.
I am very much looking forward to the coming year in Primary 4B!
“You’re off to great places! Today is your day! Your Mountain is waiting. So… get on your way!”
