P4a Weekly Update

It’s been a fun and exciting week in P4a! On Wednesday, we had a fantastic trip to the Glasgow Science Centre. There was so much to do and explore!

Back in class, we planted flowers and wrote clear instructions on how to do it.

In maths, we’ve started learning about fractions, focusing on equivalent fractions and how different fractions can represent the same value.

We had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day and we were thrilled to have author, Rob Biddulph visit today. We even learned how to draw a rhinoceros in a top hat! Now, we feel inspired to write and illustrate our own stories.

This week p1b have been working very hard all week. We finished our NHS topic by learning about the dentist and pharmacy through role play. All the children were able to show what to do in an emergency through our role play lesson. The children have engaged so well with our playroom room activities especially in the pharmacy, they used their money skills to purchase medicine.

In maths we have been learning to recognise coins. We used our pharmacy to practise using money in real life situations.
In literacy we have had a focus on reading and writing CVC words with our phonics boards. The children were fantastic and loved to challenge themselves to make sentences. We introduced ‘th’ and can all identify words that start with this phoneme. As always I am incredibly proud of all of the children, well done P1B.
