P3/4 have had a great start to the year. We have settled in well and made new friends in our new class.

Numeracy

This term we have been focusing on place value and addition. We have also practised our two  and ten times tables. We can count on and back in twos and tens. Have a practise at home. Don’t forget you can also improve maths skills by working on Sumdog at home.

Literacy

Everyone is doing lots of reading using our group reading books and our individual  Accelerated Readers. In spelling, we have looked at different patterns each week a power point of words and activities is posted on to Google Classroom.  In writing we continue to practise skills through “Talk For Writing”.  Ask your child to tell you the story of Mr Bumblebee. There are words and actions.

Health

In PE we have been practising large and small ball skills.  In Health we are revising identifying emotions using Zones For Regulation.

Other Areas

We have learned lots about Harvest, and enjoyed having a visit from a farmer. We also enjoyed taking part in the Harvest Assembly. Our topic was “carrots”.

We have also been doing lots of Independent Learning each week. We have completed our first Play Project and are looking forward to  a new one each month.

This term one  of our highlights was visiting the dolphin centre and seeing actual dolphins! We also loved learning to skateboard. Thank you P7 and Mrs Horne.

We are all now looking forward to more fun and learning next year.

Have a great summer!!

Well done to all of P3/4 for achieving your award. You worked really hard!

What a fabulous visit! Everyone enjoyed the day. We even managed to see some real dolphins.

Watch the sway to see our day.

Term 3 (Looking back)

Last term was busy as always. The class enjoyed our Play Projects each month- Babies, McZelfs and Global Goals. Have a look at our sway to see our learning.

We have been working hard to achieve our Bikeability awards, even in the freezing weather! Our topic was Global Goals. The class enjoyed learning about the international goals that have been set for us all. We had a lot of debate and discussion as we thought of ways that we could contribute.

Within numeracy, we have been practising addition and subtraction along with multiplication and division. Sumdog is a great way to practise those skills. Literacy skill have developed too as the children become more fluent and expressive readers. Each week our spelling powerpoint is posted into the Google Classroom.

Please have a look at our Independent Learning sway for Term 3. It will give a good picture of the childrens’ learing.

Term 4 (Looking forward)

This term we have lots to look forward to, such as our trip to The Whale and Dolphin Centre on the 10th of May. Everyone is excited to try and complete their Dolphin Defenders Award. The children are experts! We are also studying the Human Boday this term and thinking about how to stay healthy.

In Literacy we have started a new programme called, “Talk 4 Writing”. This encourages the children to deepen their understanding of the writing process, and scaffolds their ideas. It is already looking quite exciting. In Numeracy, we are focusing on measurement and data handling. These are all practical skills that the children can practise at home too.

Thank you for your support. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to phone school.
