This week in P4 we have been continuing on our Media topic. We were using our newspapers in class to find out key features of a newspaper. Some key features that we found were headlines, adverts, TV programme listings, the weather forecast and different fonts and text sizes.

 

In maths we have been thinking about our prior knowledge of fractions. We were gathering all our facts we know about fractions to create a prior knowledge poster. On Tuesday this week with Mr Johnston in maths we were looking at measurement. We were learning how to measure straight lines using our rulers (cm & mm) and we were also creating 2D houses using our rulers and straight lines.

 

In P.E. this week we were playing rounders, we were practicing our throwing, catching and batting skills.

 

This week we were using the iPads to make a video about the playground for the new P1’s to watch so that they would know how to be safe in the playground when they come to school in August. In RME with Mrs Steel we were designing our own prayer mats.

On Friday morning we were learning about homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Some examples are, deer and dear, their, there and they’re, flour and flower, to, too and two, bare and bear, saw and sore.
