This week we have been working on inventing our own rhythms. We performed them for the class using drumsticks. Look at our ideas below!
Outdoor Learning- Technology
This morning we were building homes for elves and fairies. We had to work out  how to make our structure safe and strong. We used ice for windows, sticks for walls, leaves for rugs, fences and sun loungers, stones for beds, jacuzzis and enchanted tables, bark to make doors, willow for trees, stones to support the house and wood to mark out the garden.
Literacy – The Lost Words
We are working hard on publishing our spell songs inspired by The Lost Words.
Marsailidh – We made an exploding book and have been jumbling letters to name animals and plants.
Literacy – Vocabulary
We have been investigating the fantastic vocabulary in our new Big Cats books. Open the files below to see some of the words we have been working on. Challenge yourself and try to use the words we have discussed in your personal writing and in conversations.
Big Cats – Think Again – Vocabulary Boost session
Big Cats – Breath – Vocabulary Boost session
Numeracy
This week we investigated the 9 times table. We made counting strips to help us count in 9s and then we looked for patterns. Keep practising P4c!
Homework – Week beginning 18th November
Good morning,
This week P4 have a two week homework project. The details are attached below. Have fun! I can’t wait to read your fantastic facts!
This week is also Book Week Scotland so you should have your new Reading Passport in your folder. In a couple of weeks time, I will start asking a few children each week to bring these in and share what they have been reading so you can start filling it in with details of your personal reading and any reading you have been doing in school.
Full Stops, please also check your reading folder.

Outdoor Learning/Literacy
We have been reading spell songs from Robert Macfarlane’s book The Lost Words. Next week, we are going to write our own spell songs and make them into explosion books. Today we went to the Science Garden to hunt for some of the plants from The Lost Words. We found ivy, ferns and willow and quickly sketched them so we can use them in our illustrations. We can’t wait to get started on our books!
Homework – Week beginning 11th November 2019

Outdoor Learning – Scavenger Hunt
Today we went on an autumn scavenger hunt. We were looking closely at the items we found so that we can write our own spell songs inspired by Robert Macfarlane’s Lost Words.
Lucy – it was fun but it was hard to find some of the items. We enjoyed looking closely and ticking the items off our list.
Numeracy and Technology – Coding
This week we were working on directions in our coding lessons. We learnt that you could put a loop inside another loop to direct the zombie to the sunflower.
Marsalaidh – We had to get the zombie to the sunflower so we had to work out all the directions. Some of them were easy and some of them were hard.
