Welcome to the P4A class blog! We cannot wait to share all of our learning with you and hopefully this will give you an insight into our week.
Mr Atkinson’s comment:
It was fantastic speaking to everyone and sharing the pupils incredible effort at Parents Evening this week. The children have been eagerly participating in the Book Week Scotland activities over the last few days!
Please remember that homework should now be completed in the Maths and Literacy homework jotters that have been issued. These must be handed in on Monday morning for me to check and return on Tuesday.
Literacy and English
Ruairidh – This week was Book Week Scotland! During the school assembly we took part in a quiz and had to guess which book each teacher loved!
Charlie – We read the book Look Up! Afterwards, we created drama scripts with our partners. One of us pretended to see the meteor shower like the event in the book and the other pupil acted as the news broadcaster. We even created props to make the drama more realistic.
Millie – We were so inspired by the book that we created our very own meteor shower!
Hadia and Emily – This week in spelling we were writing “ou” words! One of our tasks involved trying to use dictionaries to help us discover new “ou” words. Afterwards, Mr Atkinson showed us how to join these letters together for our handwriting lesson.
Ben – Our writing piece this week was a formal letter addressed to a world leader. We had to include facts, our own opinions, addresses and it had to be written in a formal tone.
Numeracy and Maths
Emma – We have been continuing to learn about coordinates and grid references. One of the tasks was to create our very own grids and draw shapes on them. Afterwards, we had to accurately record their coordinates.
Mason – We have been revising adding two digit numbers together with carrying. We also practiced writing the calculations in the correct format.
Hayyan – Some of us have been learning the strategies to add 9 and 10 onto different numbers.
IDL
Charlie – Over the course of the week we have been researching, note-taking and rehearsing in preparation for our debate on the topic Deforestation. In our groups we decided which order to share our arguments and voted on the best responses to the opposing groups questions. It was so much fun!
Outdoor Learning
Lewis – Before we created our animal homes in the woodland area, we first learned about different types of habitats and what animal need to live. Afterwards, we worked in groups to plan and build animal shelters to help nearby creatures survive the colder days ahead.
Health and Wellbeing
Chenul – In P.E. with Mr McMillan we started developing our aiming skills in tennis.
