Primary 4a Wallacewell Primary

Hello everyone,

In line with our current topic – the World of Sports – the children wrote an information report on the Commonwealth Games and filled in a fact file of any country that has qualified for the World Cup 2026. Also, we explored the life cycle of a sunflower and focussed on comprehension in reading! In PE, we have been focussing on athletics and more specifically, the long jump this week.

Have a lovely weekend,

Hello everyone,

This week was a very short week but as usual, P4a still managed to do loads, including have Sports Day! In Spelling, we managed to recap on most of our strategies we have learned this year and practised correct letter formation with joined writing. In line with our topic, we created abstract art with line and colour and created a sports character in the middle. We also designed an alternative Scotland football top containing culturally appropriate elements and practised note taking on a spider diagram whilst watching olympics performances.

Have the best weekend,

Good afternoon,

This week in P4a, we wrote an information report on Bottlenose Dolphins and converted millilitres and litres in Maths. In spelling, we focussed on the final phoneme family left to learn, “ow”, and the children performed excellently in their spelling test today! For our current topic, The World of Sports, we explored what countries have qualified for the World Cup and their flags. Pictured below are active Spelling and Reading lessons.

Have a lovely long weekend,

Hello and a warm welcome to Term 4, everyone!

Our first week after the Spring break has been full of new learning and recapping on prior learning.
In spelling, we recapped on the first phoneme families we learned back in Term 1 – ‘ae’ and ‘ee’ – and in Reading, we focussed on comprehension of our reading books. In Numeracy, we applied all of our knowledge of fractions to worded problems and in Writing, the children were introduced to this Term’s genre: Report Writing. To properly mark the beginning of Spring, we also created cherry blossom tree art. Finally, for Earth Day, we created posters, reusing scrap resources, to raise awareness of how to help our environment.

Hello everyone,

Primary 4a has had an excellent week! In Reading, we identified facts and opinions in our reading books, and in writing we finished a persuasive piece! We continued adding fractions to make a whole in Numeracy, and estimated and measured length in Maths. In RME, we explored the Islamic celebration of Eid including the origins and traditions of the day. Finally, we filmed stop motion films using our rainforest dioramas and rainforest characters and ended the week having a film showcase of all of our films!

Have a lovely weekend,

Hello everyone,

Spring has officially begun! This week in Primary 4a we started a new piece of persuasive writing about why children should not wear school uniforms. In Numeracy, we focussed on adding fractions to make a whole and in RME, we learned about St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, for St. Patrick’s day! Below are pictures of the children during football which we do every Wednesday morning!

Have a great weekend,

Good afternoon,

It was lovely to see some of you yesterday at the second parents’ evening of the term. This week, the children began measure in Maths during which they had to measure the length of classroom items in cm and metres, as well as planned a new persuasive writing piece on why children should have pets. In RME, we had a great lesson surrounding International Women’s Day and discussed why this day exists and learned about an inspirational woman: Marie Curie. In reading, the children predicted what would happen in their reading books before finishing their book and reflected on how close they were to what actually happened. For our rainforest topic, we explored the four layers of the rainforest and pictured below is all of the notes the children took during their learning!

Have a fantastic weekend,

Hello everyone,

We have had a great week in P4a! In Writing, the children finished their first persuasive piece on why someone should go to Disney World and in Numeracy, we moved onto finding fractions of numbers using multiplication and division strategies (grouping and arrays)! In RME, we explored the Hindu festival, Holi, and in Health and Wellbeing, we explored using the language: love, hate, like, and dislike. On World Book Day, we read an interactive book in which the children could choose how the story progresses before they split into groups and reenacted their favourite part of the story!

Have a lovely weekend,

Good afternoon,

We began this week learning about and celebrating Chinese New Year! We had the pleasure of welcoming some experts into our classroom who told us about traditions and helped us make Chinese lanterns and write Chinese characters! We also started our first persuasive writing piece on why someone should go to Disney World, ensuring to use persuasive language such as questions and commands. We learned more about Ramadan in RME and continued with Fractions in Numeracy – more specifically, comparing fractions with different numerators and denominators. Excitingly, we started a new topic – Rainforests – and began our process of making rainforest dioramas!

Have a lovely weekend,

Good evening everybody,

I hope you all had a lovely February break. It was a very special (and short) week for us all as it was Diversity Day on Thursday! To celebrate diversity in our school, primary 4a and a primary 3 class collaborated on a task together – the children found other children who, for example, were born in a different country to them. Everyone enjoyed this activity and the children were able to meet new friends in the other class. The week finished on an exciting note as Primary 4 got to watch the play: Treasure Island! It was hilarious, creative, and captivating!

I am looking forward to a full week of learning and fun again next week.

Miss Love
