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:
We have had a very exciting week! As part of an overall school visit, a Headteacher from another school came to see what we have been learning about in P4A. The pupils enthusiastically shared their knowledge about their most recent Maths topics and displayed excellent manners. Well done everyone!
Literacy and English
Millie – This week we started cursive handwriting, our focus was joining ee together throughout our work.
Darcy – In Writing our focus has been creating Diary entries from the perspective of the characters from our class novel, George’s Marvellous Medicine. This week we pretended to be the Grandma and Mr Atkinson challenged us to include VCOP and to write in first person.
Zak – One of our comprehension tasks involved correctly matching statements from the most recent chapter with the characters that said them in George’s Marvellous Medicine.
Numeracy and Maths
Chenul – This week Marvellous Measurers started learning about dividing by 3 and using their knowledge of times tables to solve various problems.
Lewis – Super Subtracters have begun to apply their understanding of division and link this with fractions such as 1/4, 1/2 and 1/3.
Yousaf – Terrific Timers and Awesome Adders have been investigating different methods of telling and recording the time. Some example we came up with included; sundials, digital watches, timers on ovens and the classroom clock.
Outdoor Learning
Harry – This week we used clay and natural resources to create tree faces. In our pairs we had to sketch a picture of what we wanted the face to look like. Next we gave the tree character a name. Afterwards, we were challenged to think of adjectives to describe our tree character. Finally, we went to the Woodland to create our tree faces, it was so much fun!
Health and Wellbeing
Freya – In hockey with Mr Atkinson we have been learning how to dribble. Mr Atkinson set up lots of obstacles that we had to move around. To ensure we kept control of the hockey ball we had to stay very focused.
Mason – In P.E. with Mr McMillan we played basketball and benchball matches.
