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:
The pupils in P4A have worked incredibly hard this week and, as always, I have been so impressed with their wonderful effort and use of Growth Mindset. With the recent warm sunny weather I would like to remind everyone to bring water bottles to school so that they can be used regularly and refilled. I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!
Literacy and English
Daniel – This week our writing lesson was about learning how to write instructions for how to plant a flower. We plan to use these instructions in the next couple of weeks when we create a P4 garden.
Millie and Emily M – The first activity we did in our writing lesson was to test the instructions of how to create a daisy chain. We used Mr Atkinson’s instructions and then commented on what we could do to improve them.
Emma – When creating our instructions we made sure to include equipment and illustrations.
Tia – We also used bullet points and numbers to help create a clear order and structure.
Chenul – At the start of each instruction we used ‘bossy verbs’ and underlined them in our writing.
Ruairidh – This week in our comprehension lesson we continued our questioning series by learning how to answer evaluative questions. For these types of questions you need to write your opinion and justify it by referring to elements in the text.
Numeracy and Maths
Lauren – This week we completed a check-up on how to divide and multiply by 2,3,4,5 and 10.
Charlie – We also did a fraction check-up on everything we have learned about fractions.
Lewis – One of our lessons involved revising how to organise, plan and structure a weekly timetable.
Harry – My group learned how to create and complete a Carroll diagram using different information.
Health and Wellbeing
Mason – In P.E. with Mr Atkinson we applied our hockey skills in matches, it was great fun!
Isla – We created short dramas for situations that demonstrated good and bad friendships. Afterwards, we discussed how these would make us feel if they happened to us.
R.M.E
Charlie – We learned about mosques and some of their important features. We then looked at some magnificent mosques from around the world which inspired us to create the art below!
