We have had another busy week of learning in P4. Here is a flavour of what we have been learning…

 

As part of our IDL (topic) we have been learning about Scottish animals. We used our netbooks to find the answers to our key questions. We took notes under our sub-headings. We then used our notes and turned them into sentences. We created our own Information Text (poster, leaflet or factfile) and included a title, sub-headings, pictures and our information.

 

In Literacy we learnt about their, there and they’re (homophones) and how we can use them correctly in our written work. We then started to learn about apostrophes and when to use them 1) to shorten a word eg it will = it’ll and 2) when something belongs to a person.

 

In Numeracy and Maths, we have been focussing on multiplying. We looked at the patterns in the 6 times table and how our previous knowledge can help us to remember them! Some of us were multiplying 2 and 3 digit numbers by a single digit. We have also continued to learn about time and counting in 5 minute intervals and reading timetables.

 

We have all enjoyed learning the Canadian Barn Dance this week. We co-operated well with our partner and there was a lot of encouragement on show.

 

Everyone looked great in their Festive jumpers today. We can’t believe it’s December already! We have worked hard in Art today to produce our Christmas Frieze which will be displayed in the hall. Just a reminder that our Christmas Post Service begins on Monday 4th December until Friday 15th December. Please remember to put the name of the child (the recipient) and their class on the envelope.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone and we will see you all on Monday.
