This week, the boys and girls have been working very hard! On Monday, we had lots of fun making our own bird feeders. We then wrote a piece of procedural writing explaining how to make these at home. Everyone did a fantastic job of using a range of bossy verbs, time openers and adverbs to uplevel their writing.

In phonics, we continued to revise the ‘qu’ phoneme and had great fun making our own rocket ships to help us remember the sound. In maths, we consolidated our multiplication strategies and practised applying these to solve a range of problems.

Well done, everyone, for another fantastic week of learning!

This week the children have had lots of fun revising previous concepts and consolidating lots of learning from all over our time in P4. We ended our spelling revision this week using shaving foam to create our words, the children loved this messy play and everyone was able to use their ‘ie’ phoneme correctly. This week we have continued researching our chosen planets for our solo talks next week. Please remember project homework is due in on Tuesday 16th June.

As the final few weeks of term 4 approach I would just like to say thank you to the wonderful children for all their hard work, dedication and enthusiasm  this year. I have had a wonderful time being P4b’s teacher and I will miss all of the children. Thank you to all of the pupils parents and families for supporting us throughout the year. I hope everyone has a very relaxed well earned summer break.

This week the children have been engaged in all the different learning experiences linked to our class novel George’s Marvellous Medicine. In numeracy we were solving missing number equations to help George measure his medicine. In STEM we started building a crane to help Grandma, and finally we helped Mr Kranky build his shopping list using our skimming and scanning techniques in reading.

Well done for another successful week everybody!

This week has been short but very exciting in P4! The children competed brilliantly in two Sports Days, giving every event their all. A special congratulations goes to Ben Chonzie for taking first place — what an amazing achievement! Well done to everyone who took part, and thank you to all the parents and families who came along to support and cheer us on.

In Numeracy, we have been focusing on consolidating our multiplication strategies. The children have been challenging themselves with increasingly difficult tasks to help push their learning forward, and they have shown great determination and resilience.

In Literacy, we have been learning about note-taking and how to organise information clearly under headings. We have also continued reading our class novel, George’s Marvellous Medicine. The children are absolutely loving the story and cannot wait to find out what happens in the next chapters!

It has been another fantastic week of learning in P4b. Well done, everyone!

We are officially into Term 4 and what a fantastic start we’ve had! It has been lovely to welcome everyone back after the break, refreshed, motivated, and ready to learn.

This week, we spent time consolidating our previous learning across a range of areas, giving us the chance to revisit key skills and check our understanding as we move towards the end of Primary 4.

In literacy, we have begun exploring how to write a non-chronological report. The children have enjoyed identifying the key features of this genre and are looking forward to creating their own informative pieces. We have also started our new class novel, George’s Marvellous Medicine, which has already captured lots of interest and sparked great discussion.

In P.E., we have kicked off our athletics block. This has been a great way to build fitness and teamwork, and it links nicely with the excitement building around the upcoming Commonwealth Games.

It has been a brilliant first week back, and we are looking forward to all the learning and achievements still to come this term!

Happy Easter!

Wishing you all a very happy and restful Easter holiday. Thank you for all your hard work this term – you’ve made me so proud!

Enjoy the break, have lots of fun, and I look forward to seeing you back soon, ready for more learning and adventures.

This week the children engaged very well with the creative play experiences in the playroom. All of the experiences supported the children’s consolidation of prior learning throughout the term in new and creative ways.

The children had lots of fun this week making and recording our stop motion films. The children created character and a diorama of a rainforest setting. We loved getting to watch these in class.
