Last week finished off with P4 sharing their wonderful Christmas Books with the lovely children in P2/3…

 

This week, we left Christmas behind us and looked to our new term. We were introduced to our new novels that we’ll be studying in class. As well as learning our Reading Strategies, we’ve been working hard on handwriting and presentation. Here are some examples of our fabulous work…

 

 

In maths, we’re continuing with our mental strategies for addition and subtraction. We’ve been using number lines, hundred squares and lots of ICT games to help us. We’ve been playing partner games too…

 

 

We have also been introduced to our new topic this week. We’re going to learn all about the Victorians. How exciting! We took part in a carousel lesson to decide what we already knew, what we wanted to find out and how we wanted to learn it…

 

 

Mrs McLean and Miss Dunbar are now busy planning our topic based on what we told them. Here’s some things that we want to know:

• When did they live?
• What was school like?
• Why did they not have flushing toilets? (seems we have a fascination with toilets in P4!)
• What were their toys and games like?
• What did they do for fun?
• What did they eat?

Here’s how we want to learn:

• Make models
• Make Victorian food
• Play Victorian games
• Visit a museum
• Study and make our own Victorian art
• Look on the internet

Well P4, your wish is our command! We’d better get busy…
