P4B

Primary 4B with Mr Borland & Mrs Charleson

Summary of Learning

Literacy – We will be continuing to work on spelling and punctuation this term as well as using simple connectives to extend sentences. We will also be learning how to vary our sentences by using different openers, especially instructional verbs. Descriptive writing will be the focus this term for writing. We will use our class novel of Matilda to support with this. We will also be continuing with daily supported reading with pupils to continue to develop fluency and expression.

Numeracy – This term in numeracy we will continue to develop our understanding of the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). We will also be working on fractions and times.

Topic – Our topic this term is ‘The Air We Breathe’. We will be supported by Glasgow Science Centre to deliver this topic and we have been invited along to the science centre for a visit as part of this process.

RME – We will explore different significant events as they arise this term.

PE Days Monday & Friday. This term the children will be practising ‘net games’ on Fridays in the assembly hall and on Mondays we will continue to develop our skills and fitness on the MUGA pitch. Please dress appropriately. No earrings or jewellery being worn on these days would be greatly appreciated.
