Started our day with weekly numeracy and spelling assessments, then onto numeracy problem solving. An extremely energetic PE session and then outside to build a den using loose parts. The culmination of our hard
building work was a bird watch which is part of our Make Your Mark Passports (coming soon)!
More visitors to P4b this week
This week has been very busy for P4b as we have had various visitors. On Tuesday afternoon we were joined by P6 pupils who helped us complete our Virtual Museums containing Roman artefacts. Then, this morning we had a visit from PC Lorraine who chat to us about the role of the police and their contribution to
keeping us safe.
Developing our subtraction strategies with Mr. Berry from St. Luke’s High School
Our Numeracy lesson on Tuesday took a different turn as we learned tips and strategies from Mr. Berry and St. Luke’s Head Boy Thomas on Tuesday. P4b had fun doing something different!
Reading Detectives
Today in Primary 4b we were learning about a new reading strategy – inference. This reading strategy required us to read between the lines and use clues in pictures and texts to gain a deeper understanding. We enjoyed working with partners to identify what was happening on our context cards.
The Repentant Thief
Today in RERC we were looking at the story of ‘The Repentant Thief’. We discussed the events in the story and the children then enjoyed taking part in a short drama activity to portray the events, considering the emotions involved.
We then discussed times we have asked for forgiveness or shown forgiveness to others.
Using our “Metacognitive Awareness” for Retrieval in Numeracy
Looking at previous learning and how this can help us in new numeracy concepts.
