P4

Homework 1 September 17

 

In literacy we have been practicing our phonemes and spelling tests, so far most people have been getting 10 out of 10! – Ayva

We are now on chapter 4 of Bill’s New Frock, I’m enjoying it so far. – Michael

In maths we have been practicing our 3 times table and most of the class know it already! – Lewis

This week is Maths week and we are doing patterns. – Erin K

Our topic is the Human Body, we have been learning about all the organs in the body. – Eva

Primary 4 is very very fun so far and we are all enjoying it! – Marcus

Here are some photos of us showing off all the organs we have found out about!

Yesterday p4 did some planting we put some cotton balls in small pots and some wet ones on top and then  we put the seeds on top and watered them. Next we put some compost in other small pots and then put other seeds in like sunflower seeds and watered them too. We will water them  2 times a day and take good care of them as a class and we also put them up at our windowsill so they can get some sun as well as water so they can grow nice and strong .And we hope they grow by the end of primary 4 so we can take them home.

This afternoon we were doing some of our learning outside.

We made table squares using chalk and some of us managed to make them up to the 12 x table. Before that we enjoyed reading our library books whilst we sat at the picnic tables. Some of us preferred to lie in the shade whilst reading our books.

Let’s hope the rain stays away for a while yet!

Our new topic this term is Plants. We only started this topic yesterday and are really looking forward to learning more about plants. We are hoping to be able to plant some seeds in class to see how they grow. We also hope we can do some nice artwork to do with our topic.

In maths we are continuing with our time topic and are looking at analogue and digital clocks. We have managed to do some active stations and are really enjoying learning about time!

During literacy we have been doing a lot of reading and getting through our new novels very quickly. We are enjoying the books and look forward to finding out what happens in the end. We have also been on a word hunt this morning, looking for soft ‘g’ words around the class. This was great fun and some of us even got to hide the words the second time round!

We were practicing time outside. We drew clocks on the ground with chalk, working in groups. We used our bodies as hands of an analogue clock. We had great fun practicing in the sun! Here are some photographs of us!

We all had a fantastic holiday!! Since we have been back to school we have started Time in maths, we have been doing some drama in groups and we have been doing some shading in art on lovely sunflower pictures. We are still learning about our Knights and castles topic but we will be moving onto a new one soon!

Primary 4 🙂

Yesterday we visited Stirling castle, we had a great day! We learned from a carpenter all about wood joints that were used in the medieval times. We made catapults in pairs and really enjoyed the activity. We had a nice lunch in the sunshine. We then went a look around the castle and all sat at the huge banqueting table. Primary 4 loved Stirling castle and are looking forward to continuing to learn more about our Knights and Castles topic!

Here are some photographs of us from our trip.

In primary 4 this week we have started our new topic Knights and castles. We have made lots of things to decorate our class to make it look like a castle. We have made shields, a drawbridge, a chandelier and torches. We have also researched different castles in Scotland and made a timeline of when these were built.

We are really looking forward to our visit to Stirling castle!
