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 hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holidays! It has been great listening to the pupils and hearing about what they did over the break.
Literacy and English
Tia – We have been learning how to structure answers to inferential questions. When answering these types of questions you need to act as a detective by identifying the hints and clues that the authors give us and then use our own knowledge. We combine these two strategies to then write an answer.
Zach – We have also updated our VCOP wall display, this time adding “ly” openers and more exciting descriptive vocabulary.
Numeracy and Maths
Mason – This week we have been revising fractions, such as using number lines to help us order fractions.
Lauren – My group has been learning how to divide and multiply by 10 by using different rules.
Emma – Our new topic that we have been learning about is probability. We explored different real-life situations and then discussed the chances of the event occurring by using the terms; very likely, likely, possible, impossible, certain, unlikely and very unlikely.
Harry – This week we learned how to use and sort information by using Venn diagrams. Sometimes there are similarities and differences which means things can overlap.
Health and Wellbeing
Freya – In our friendship topic this week we took part in a circle time activity whereby we discussed how having friends make us feel. Afterwards, we did a navigation game whereby we partnered with a friend and one of us had to close our eyes. The other pupil then guided us around a path. This helped to build trust between classmates!
Charlie – In P.E. with Mr Atkinson this week we played a couple of football matches. We all demonstrated respect, kindness and teamwork during the games.
Emily M – With Mr McMillan in P.E. we learned how to use the gymnastic apparatus.
RME
Maira – This week we have been learning about Ramadan! Some of us brought in objects and items related to Islam which we shared with our friends. Everyone was fascinated and enjoyed learning about a different religion.
Earth Day
Chloe – To celebrate and mark Earth Day we gathered resources from around the woodland and front area of the playground to recreate planet Earth. We had a lot of fun doing this outside as the weather was so sunny and wonderful!
