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:
I have been so impressed with the class this week! They have enthusiastically participated in all our Scottish themed activities and worked brilliantly in group tasks!
A couple of reminders, we will continue not to visit the Woodland area due to the conditions and weather. Homework should be handed in on a Monday so that it can be reviewed and marked to be reissued on Tuesday morning.
Literacy and English
Tia – This week we have been learning about the Scots language. After doing some research we then created acrostic poems and were challenged to include 5 Scots words in them. A few of us performed our finished poems to the rest of the class.
Emma and Darcy – Before creating our poems we created a Scots language display. First we designed a tartan background and then selected a Scots word to outline in black pen. You can see our brilliant display below!
Charlie – To help write our poems we used an online Scots dictionary to translate some tricky words.
Harry and Yousaf – This week we have been learning how to peer-assess our writing by carefully checking the success criteria. We based our two stars and a wish on the criteria.
Daniel – We created fact files on Robert Burns which we shared with the class.
Numeracy and Maths
Zak – Some of us have been learning how to solve calculations involving the 6 timestable.
Emily – My group have been learning to multiply 2 digit numbers by 1 digit.
Harry – We have been converting ml and L. There are 1000ml in 1 L.
Yousaf – Our group have been exploring place value with two and three digit numbers.
Health and Wellbeing
Charlie – We have started learning the Gay Gordons which is a transitional Scottish dance.
Mueez –In our Growth Mindset lesson we debated the question – are people born with talent.
Chenul – On Thursday we planned Highland Game activities and started writing instructions for them. Next week we are going to teach the rest of the class our games.
