October has been busy in P4\/1<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have been revising our 3 and 4 multiplication tables and lots of us are ready to begin learning our 6. We have been looking at patterns within these tables to make them easier to learn and playing lots of games to familiarise ourselves with the facts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

P4\/1 have been learning to use different media with increasing control. For a few weeks, we have been drawing creatively and adding lots of detail to our pictures. We previously drew a beautiful Winter scene for our Christmas card and have taken inspiration from Tim Burtons illustrations to create spooky self-portraits! We used charcoal and have been practicing blending to create light and shade. We studied the characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie to notice the similarities in their features and used these to create these Tim Burton inspired self-portraits, mainly focusing on the visual elements of line and tone. This was the first time many of us had experienced using charcoal!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In French we have been using\u00a0our dictionary skills and building on our previous knowledge to find the translation for some spooky words, using a bilingual dictionary to discover the words for each item. We used some of the vocabulary to read and understand a French poem. In lessons, we gave been learning about how French adjectives come after the noun. For example, un chat\u00a0<\/span>noir\u00a0<\/span><\/b>is a\u00a0<\/span>black<\/span><\/b>\u00a0cat.\u00a0\u00a0We then had to colour the Halloween pictures correctly, recognising if they were masculine or feminine words and noticing how this can change the spelling of the adjective.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
