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:
Once again thank you to all the families for allowing your children to bring materials to class for their spacecraft models. I have been so impressed with the teamwork, resourcefulness and dedication the groups have shown throughout the building process. Well done to everyone for meeting the design brief! Have a wonderful Easter holiday, I am looking forward to hearing your stories when you return.
Congratulations to the P4 pupils who participated in a tennis competition and won! I enjoyed watching and cheering you on!
Literacy and English
Hadia – For our grammar lesson we used adjectives to create a description of our aliens.
Numeracy and Maths
Tia – As part of our new time topic we learned about dates, calendars and timetables. Our final activity involved creating our very own timetable and schedule based on a typical day.
Zak and Sarah Mc – Our group created fraction walls to support us with ordering fractions, this new resource was very helpful!
Yousaf – We have now progressed onto the 5 timestable. We first used concrete materials to help us solve calculations and then we moved onto problem solving questions.
Harry – My group has finished creating bar graphs and now we are learning about pictograms.
IDL (Space)
Lewis – This week we finished building our spacecrafts! We achieved this by using recyclable materials to help construct these models. It was so exciting working with friends to make these replicas and sharing them with the other P4 class.
Freya – Some of the materials we used included cardboard, bottles and newspapers which we turned into papier mâché.
Darcy – After covering our spacecrafts in papier mâché we painted them to make the models more accurate.
Health and Wellbeing
Emma – For our first lesson in gymnastics we learned different balances and then afterwards Mr Atkinson challenged us to create our own balances with the help of our friends! You can see some of our attempts below!
Expressive Arts
Freya – One of our starter tasks this week was to design an Easter egg, we all had a great time colouring these in.
