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:
Crookfur Primary has relaunched the Crookfur Digital Leader Programme. Miss Bishop visited the class and shared with the pupils how to submit an application.
Beat the Street has also started and I would encourage pupils and families to participate if able to do so. Finally, I have entered the class into the East Renfrewshire Maths Sumdog Contest.
Literacy and English
Emily B – This week we have been learning how to apply the different rules about using commas to fix sentences.
Lewis – We had our first imaginative writing lesson this week! We were challenged to include adjectives, commas, capital letters, full stops and to carefully check that we structured our writing into a clear beginning, middle and end.
Daniel – Our imaginative stories were based on the picture prompts that were issued as Talk Homework. A lot of us brought notes to class to help us with planning our writing, this made it easier.
Numeracy and Maths
Harry – To help identify lines of symmetry my group has been cutting shapes out and folding them equally to create halves.
Yousaf – My group has been using concrete materials to help multiply and divide by 2. We also learned about the links between multiplying and dividing.
Sarah M – Some of us have started learned about fractions. We have been recording and identifying 1/2 and 1/4. We have also begun to find fractions of numbers.
Isla – We have started our new topic – Area! We have been counting 1/2 squares and whole squares to determine the area of shapes. We completed activities which challenged us to draw different shapes that had the same area.
Ruairidh – We have been using online games to create models with certain area.
IDL
Lewis and Freya – We have been learning about past and present space races! We created timelines of major events that have occurred over the years during the space races. To ensure our timelines were in chronological order we used chromebooks and then wrote notes on what we discovered. Afterwards we summarised our information so that we could write them in our topic jotter. Some of us even drew pictures of the events.
Health and Wellbeing
Mason – For our final few weeks in our athletics block we will be recording our scores at different stations. The stations include the long jump, hurdle jumping and shot put throwing. Our aim is to increase on our score each week and improve our fitness.
ICT
Maira – With Mr McMillan we learned how to code characters, animals and backgrounds.
French
Mueez – This week we finished our French profiles about ourselves. We had to read questions that were in French and then write our answers. Some of the questions asked us what our favourite food, movie, colours and books were.
