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 Mrs Salim for delivering a fantastic presentation on topics related to Islam to all the primary 4 pupils. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
I am delighted to announce that we won the East Renfrewshire Sumdog Maths contest which is a fantastic achievement! Thank you to all the parents and guardians for allowing pupils additional time on devices at home.
The pupils have also done an outstanding job looking after their P4 garden!
Literacy and English
Freya – This week we completed a spelling check-up on some of the sounds we have been learning over the course of the year.
Zak –All of us have been reading different non-fiction texts. We have learned about what their features are and how to use them such as a glossary, index and contents page. Afterwards, we answered questions based on the texts.
Tia – Everyone created spidergrams by using the headings in our non-fiction texts. This has helped us to learn another method of how to plan and organise ideas for our writing pieces.
Numeracy and Maths
Darcy – We won the Sumdog competition! We are all so excited and delighted with this result – well done everyone!
Daniel – Some of us have been revising how to successfully answer calculations involving carrying and exchanging with three digit numbers.
Lauren and Yousaf – Our group has been solving word problems based on all the timestables we have been learning about recently.
Harry – This week some of us revised vertical calculations with two digits. Sometimes we used a 100 square to help us check our answers.
Sarah Mit – This week our group finished learning about multiplying with two digits by completing problem solving questions.
Health and Wellbeing
Millie – Using our knowledge of the Eatwell plate, we have started to research and create a balanced menu for a café or restaurant. Mr Atkinson has challenged us to select starter, main and dessert course with appropriate prices. For challenge, some of us have listed vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Sarah Mc – With Mr McMillan in P.E. we learned how to do Scottish ceilidh dancing. It was so much fun!
Sara – We also had a rounders contest this week!
Lewis – To finish our Friendship topic we learned about the importance of respecting personal space. We played a game to help us understand what personal space looks like and then we discussed what actions can invade a persons personal space.
