We have been busy in primary 4 catching up with the news and reading the news paper. Not only did we find out what was going on in the world, we worked in groups to highlight the features of newspaper to help us with our recount writing. Using highlighters we found all the main features that we needed to include in our own news report about Queen Victoria’s Coronation.

This helped us a lot in our writing and we will be looking at more examples this week. Watch this space!

In numeracy we have been looking at formal methods of addition. We worked in pairs and used dienes blocks to work out sums actively.

 

 

This is was great fun and helpful to use. Now we write the formal method and are finding the sums easier to do.

In topic we have also been finding out more about old Victorian toys and what games children played with. We used a sorting activity to test our knowledge and will be inventing our own toy or game for our class project! We are excited to get our teeth into it!

 

Tune in for more updates on the fab P4!!
