Last week in 4a

Good morning everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready for the week ahead!

I faced some technical issues on my iPad last week and only back on today. So, last week, we moved onto our new topic – STEM – and the children have been loving their new playroom activities. We also dived deeper into Yom Kippur in RME, practiced procedural writing further using the goal to make a paper chain (which the children constructed during their time in the playroom), and moved onto addition using a number line in Numeracy. I have attached pictures from a spelling lesson in which the children put their weekly words into Elkonin boxes using their knowledge of phonemes, as well as a lesson from Numeracy!

Best wishes for this week,

Miss Love

Happy September Weekend!

Happy September weekend!

I hope you have all enjoyed your weekend. Thursday’s open afternoon was a lovely way to round up last week and it was so nice to meet some of you for the first time! to summarise last week, the children performed very well in a procedural writing task during which they explained how to prepare apples and honey, relating to our lessons on Rosh Hashanah! We also moved onto addition using partitioning, which the children are becoming more confident in as every lesson passes. Finally, attached below is a picture from a Health and Well-Being lesson in which we read and discussed the book ‘Beautiful Oops’ before turning “mistakes” or “scribbles” into works of art.

Thank you for reading,

Miss Love

The past week in Primary 4a

Hello everyone,

We have covered a lot this past week – from an introduction to Yom Kippur in RME to magnetism in Science! In Numeracy, we moved onto addition and in Literacy, we completed comprehension tasks on Piper and our reading books – as well as more procedural writing. Seen below are pictures from a talking and listening task during which pupils shared their favourite film and asked each other questions, our library committee which we participate in every Friday with Primary 4b to improve our school’s library and motivation to read more, and snippets from the playroom activities in line with our Superhero topic.

Hope you are all having the best weekend,

Miss Love

Happy Friday, everyone!

Another amazing week finished. This week, we had great daily spelling lessons every morning, had a lesson on our reading books and on the Pixar short film – ‘Piper’, and tried apples and honey during our second lesson of Rosh Hashanah. We also had an interesting investigatory social studies session in which the children, in pairs, researched local non-profit organisations and charities as part of our current Superheroes topic. Photos from these lessons have all been uploaded with this post! Importantly, we also moved onto rounding to 10s and 100s in Numeracy this week.

From next week, the children will have both of their PE sessions on Thursdays in the morning and afternoon. In the morning, they will be given a fitness session and in the afternoon, a dance session delivered by other professionals.

Many children handed in homework this week, which was great, whilst a few children did not. Please encourage your children to complete their homework at home. From next week, I will also start sending the children’s reading books home with them. The expectation is that they read every night. Can you please tell me how much or often your child read every week by leaving a written note to me in their homework jotters which are due on Thursdays.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend,

Miss Love

Welcome to Term 1

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to our Primary 4a class blog! I am so excited for the year ahead. We’ve been settling into new routines and building a positive classroom community together.

So far, we have been focusing on numbers in numeracy and the calendar in maths. In numeracy, we have looked at place value of 2-digit and 3-digit numbers, ordering numbers, odd and even numbers, and partitioning numbers. In literacy, we have focused on text comprehension of both our reading books and a short film, as well as procedural writing and the usage of capital letters and full stops. Our exciting first topic is superheroes in which we have already created artwork for.

In other subjects, we have explored emotions, been introduced to the upcoming celebration of Rosh Hashanah, and learned French.

Homework will go home on Mondays and is due on Thursdays. PE days are Tuesdays and Thursdays in which we are starting off with Football and Dance.

I am really looking forward to working with you and your children this year.

Best wishes,

Miss Love
