Another fun filled week in P4!

Literacy

In Literacy this week we have been looking at functional writing- specifically writing about the life cycle of a bee. We started off by completing a ‘Blankety Blank’ activity using a piece of text describing the various life cycle stages. We had to fill in the missing words and this allowed us to become familiarised with the subject vocabulary. We then used the netbooks to expand our knowledge further, researching the different stages and taking notes under headings. Finally we wrote up our findings in a report, using sub headings and subject specific vocabulary. We then created detailed diagrams displaying the different stages of the bee life cycle.

 

Maths

In maths this week we have been looking at angles. We can now confidently identify and name obtuse, acute and reflex angles and compare them in size against right and straight angles. We went outside on an angle hunt and used the I-pads to take photos of the different angles we found in the playground.

 

Outdoor Learning/Art

We combined art and outdoor learning this week as we went outside to create some transient art. We used hula hoops as our frames and natural materials and objects to create images and patterns inside them. There were some extremely creative pictures! As it was transient art we removed the hoops at the end and left the designs on the grass (removing any large stones or objects of course!)

 

The sun is shining and I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend! Remember- no school for children on Monday or Thursday next week! 🙂
