It is always a time for reflection, as we reach the end of the school year.  Primary 3/4 have a achieved so much. They should all be proud of their hard work. Everyone is looking forward now to next year, with new classes and teachers.

Literacy

This term we have focused on our Talk For Writing topic – change. The class has worked hard to write their own similes, and develop alliteration skills. Everyone has enjoyed learning the Story of Pirate Tom. Independent writing skills develop, as we continue to focus on using consistent punctuation, in all of our work. in reading, each group has made progress as we explore using more expression, when reading to each other.

Numeracy

We have all worked hard, to develop our skills in several areas this term. This has included symmetry, money, shape pattern and chance. In pattern, we are all keen to identify the rule and then continue the sequence. Some children are able to make complex patterns with rules that got us all thinking. Money is another area where lots of progress has occurred.  Everyone can identify coins and give change.  It is hard to budget for the things that we need, but the children have tried hard to achieve this. Working alone and with partners has enhanced this learning.

Health and Wellbeing

The highlight of this term was Potted Sports Day ( You can catch up on photos on this website) . Primary 7 worked really hard, with their teachers, to make this a fabulous occasion for everyone. The children enjoyed all of the different activities and working as a team, with friends from different classes. In PE, P3/4 have enjoyed building skills through circuit work and hula hooping. Everyone has some amazing moves.

Other Curricular Areas

Another highlight of the term was our Pbuzz assembly, where we were able to play some songs for the whole school. We have been learning to play this amazing musical instrument with Mr Gray for the last two terms. All of that practise paid off, when we were able to demonstrate our progress.  We have also continued to work hard on our Play Projects, with May being based on swimming. You can follow our progress on our sway. (look on Google Classroom) Everyone loves to share their learning with the rest of the class.

Thank you to all of our families for supporting our learning this year. We hope that you enjoyed the Play Project Sways and also our Focus Pupil Sways, which will give parents lots of information about their child.

We now look forward to our end of term activities including The Pilmuir Picnic, where everyone will have a chance to hear us play our Pbuzzs.

Have a great summer!
