It’s been another lovely sunny week in Newport, and Primary 4 have been making the most of the weather with lots of outdoor learning!

Literacy

In literacy this week we have been looking at the features of a newspaper article. We completed a blankety blank task, filling in the missing words of a newspaper article. This helped us to become familiarised with the structure of the text. We then were set a challenge to match up some silly real life headlines with the corresponding text extracts. We are writing our newspaper reports on the exciting oyster catcher visitors to our school, so we went around the school interviewing key witnesses, to get some quotes for our reports! We finally wrote up the finished articles, which we will edit and type up next week.

Maths

In maths this week we have been consolidating our knowledge of place value and measure. After recapping the units of measure, we headed outside to complete an measurement scavenger hunt.

Art

After learning the different parts of a bee last week, this week we created realistic bee drawings, using a step by step guide to help us. We were able to identify the different parts and add detail to our drawings using shading and texture.
