In maths this week we have been learning about fractions. We have been learning about halves, wholes and quarters. We have also been learning about thirds, fifths and eights. We have been learning how to give change from £5.

 

P4 have been learning about homophones this week in literacy with Mr Johnston. Homophones are two or more words that sound the same when spoken but have different spellings. For example ‘dear & deer’, ‘sun &  son’, ‘their, there and they’re’. Also in literacy we have been learning about antonyms. An antonym is a word that is the opposite of another word. For example, ‘hot & cold’, ‘yes & no’, ‘right and wrong’

 

Sadly, this week Mr Johnston is leaving P4 to return back to university. He was a very very very good teacher. Everyone in P4 enjoyed doing measurement with Mr Johnston and everyone will miss him working with us. We have been also learning homophones and antonyms with Mr Johnston.

 

This week P4 have been given their new French jotters. We have been asking each other when our birthdays are and answering with the month and the date of our birthdays. ‘Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?’ ‘Mon anniversaire c’est le …..’

 

In PE with Mrs Steel we have been throwing and catching in rounders. With Mr Johnston in indoor PE we were practising our ball skills, throwing and catching balls with a partner.

 

**FAREWELL MR JOHNSTON!**
