Welcome to our weekly blog. It has been another exciting week of learning in primary 4.
LITERACY
We are still continuing to read the magic carpet slippers and this week we have learned some more new reading strategies to help us understand the text. These were: Summarising and Infrenecing. These were quite tricky!
We have also been working hard on our VCOP (vocabulary, Connectives, Openers and Punctuation) We have learned how to make our writing more interesting by using descriptive vocabulary. Some new words we have learned are: terrified, vicious, suspicious and curious. We will be trying to use these in our writing.
MATHS
We have been revising our 2,4, & 8 times tables and learning lots of different strategies to work out the answer. We know that we can use array patterns, repeated addition, fingers, number lines and groups of.
Our other new topic that we were introduced to today was 2D & 3D shapes. we now know what regular and irregular polygons are.
DRAMA
We absolutely loved this! Our story this week was Joseph and his colourful coat. We used drama conventions to help us explore the characters and meaning even more. We used hot seating, thought tunnel and freeze frames.
