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:
Thank you to everyone who has donated materials to help with construction of our spacecrafts. The pupils will be presenting the spacecrafts to P4B next week and pictures will be available on the blog. Over the last couple of weeks the class have had a couple of opportunities to participate in Beat the Street contest which you can see from the photographs below.
Literacy and English
Daniel – For our imaginative piece of writing this week we wrote stories about aliens. One of the key features of this was to create an exciting description of the appearance of our aliens.
Zak – The reading skill we have been developing is summarising. We looked at a text and then selected the best answers to some of the questions. We achieved this by identifying key words in the questions and disregarding overly detailed information that was irrelevant.
Emma – We have been continuing to practice our handwriting in our booklets.
Numeracy and Maths
Emily M – We have been learning about fifths, eighths and tenths and how to recognise equivalent fractions.
Chenul – We used our knowledge of compasses and directions outside to guide our partners to a certain place in the playground.
Harry – My group has been applying our knowledge of bar graphs to create our very own. We had to remember to include titles and an appropriate scale.
Lauren – Some of our Maths lessons involved dividing by 4 and solving word problems using the 4 times table.
Health and Wellbeing
Isla – In P.E. this week we created a new game called Space Invaders! It was so much fun and I liked that it included aspects of our Space topic. Astronauts (us) had to reach planets (different areas in the MUGA) and avoid meteorites (catchers).
IDL (Space)
Ruairidh – Using our line drawing skills and our knowledge of bird’s-eye view perspective we sketched our spacecrafts. We will use these drawings to help build replica models over the course of next week.
Millie – We used the Chromebooks to research our spacecrafts and took notes on their appearance, shape and colour.
Outdoor Learning
Charlie – This week we designed an assault course for the class to enjoy by gathering resources from the woodland!
