We have been enjoying sharing our Titanic homework projects. We will continue to share all your super work next week. We now have some Titanic experts in Primary 4!

Hit The Button

Good games for practising number bonds, multiplication, etc.   Spheres could begin by practising multiplying by 3 and 4, Cubes could begin by practising multiplying by 6 and 7  and Pyramids could begin by practising multiplying by 8 and 9.  Of course, when you feel very confident with these tables, you might want to challenge yourself by trying  some of the other multiplication tables as well!

Everybody will benefit from practising number bonds to 10, 20 and 100.  The more you practise, the more your speed and accuracy will improve!  Try some different games to discover what you already feel confident about and what you still need to work on.

Multiplication Tables Songs

Here is a link to some simple multiplication songs with a reggae feel to make us forget about the cold, stormy weather!   Sometimes music and rhythm help us to remember things more easily, so lots of children find that songs are a good way to practise their multiplication tables. Remember that you might find it helpful to stick to one or two tables until you get really good at them before you move on to try some of the other ones.  (See the suggested tables above.)

We are all looking forward to taking part in 4b’s Assembly on Friday 14th February!  One of the children asked if we could wear a little bit of tartan to the assembly to add to the Scottish flavour and we all thought that was an excellent idea.

Ms Edmonstone says that, if we want to,  we can wear our own clothes instead of our uniforms all day on Friday 14th and that a sprinkling of tartan would be very welcome.  Please don’t worry if you don’t have anything tartan – it’s completely optional.  The children will have a good time whatever they choose to wear!

Today we were constructing our own electrical circuits using wires, batteries and a lightbulb. We look forward to creating trickier circuits as we go through the topic.

It’s time for Primary 4 to have a two-week homework task again!  We have all been very interested in our Titanic project so our homework task is based around that.  The link to our Task Grid is just below.  Have fun!  We are looking forward to seeing all your good ideas and interesting research!

BFGs – You can keep your new reading books for two weeks because of the holidays.  Don’t be so busy enjoying yourselves that you forget to bring them back on Friday 14th February though!

Lion King Auditions 2020

Thanks to Harry for bringing in some really interesting Titanic resources, including replicas of newspapers that reported on the sinking.  We all enjoyed seeing how news was reported about 100 years ago.  The newspapers also showed us that reporters can get it wrong sometimes.  Some of the reports said that all of Titanic’s passengers had been saved but we know that that didn’t actually happen. We felt very sorry for people who read that their loved ones were all right and then got very sad news later.
