Wednesday has been a day of Wonderful Work!

This morning we practised our sign language song, ‘It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ which was lovely to cheer us up and start the day off well.🎄 I cant’t believe how amazing it’s coming together boys and girls! 😁

During Maths, we took part in Mental challenges and completed our addition sequences by adding on 2,3,4 and 5’s. Some of us took part in Power Maths using our addition strategies to add 4 digit numbers and solve problems. 💭

Today in Literacy, we have been focusing on types of sentences such statements, questions and exclamation, using the correct punctuation. ⁉️

This afternoon, everyone enjoyed learning about advent then we decorated our class Christmas tree. (Please note all items/products were purchased new and hand sanitising took place before and after touching any objects) Our topic is Christmas around the world so our next step is to look at other countries and explore holiday traditions. 🎄🎅🏼

Today, we have been learning how to use mental strategies to help us with our addition. We identified top tips to help us increase our speed and accuracy then enjoyed a chilli challenge.

Why not practise your mental maths at home:

• Alien Addition
• Hit the Button – Number Bonds & Doubles
• Daily 10 Mental Maths

This week has been another busy week in Primary 4! 😃

On Wednesday, we had Miss Ferguson visit us to see how well we have been working in class and to talk to us about our learning. 📚

On Thursday, everyone was delighted to take part in some more outdoor PE as our Indoor PE has now been cancelled due to our new Covid restrictions. 👎

We are still enjoying our Daily Mile everyday to increase our physical exercise! 🏃🏻‍♂️ ⛅️

Today we learned new handwriting joins and practised these in our jotters. ✏️

Primary 4 have been super busy today! ✏️

This morning, we learned about road safety with Mrs Davidson and we created a great poster to persuade others to ‘Slow down in town’ and that ‘20’s plenty.’ 🚙 ❗️

In our Maths groups, we have been learning to focus on the Tens digit and Round to the Nearest 10/100 using a number line to help us and our rounding rule. >5 round up or <4 round down 👍🏼

Thankfully, we made it out for outdoor PE in between the rain this afternoon. We had 3 mini stations courses of 3 set up and everyone practised their golf skills. Well done to Brian and Connor who got a ‘hole in one’ today! ⛳️

This week’s homework is on Teams and new Active Learn Bug Club books have been assigned. 📚

Today in assembly, we learned more about Anti-bullying and how we can work together to bullyproof our school. During Big Writing we focused on up-levelling  our writing, to include a variety of clever connectives and outstanding openers. Our next step is including a variety of punctuation.

This afternoon, we enjoyed getting fresh air just as the sun came out. It was cold and crisp! We also learned about Cyberbullying and how to stay safe on the internet. Everyone discussed cyberbullying scenarios, how they would react and we designed a poster to send a clear message to cyber bullies.

This week, we have come to the end of learning about Place Value and we will be moving onto addition and subtraction very soon.

Our focus this week has been using our number lines to help us round 2/3/4 digit numbers  to the nearest 10. We can also use our rounding rule too: 5 or more In the units – round up or 4 or less in the units – round down. Our next step is Rounding to the nearest 100/1000.

You can try this at home too:

This week is Anti-Bullying Week. In class we talked about bullying and how we should react to this. We also  identified if something is rude, mean or bullying. We all agreed that emotional, verbal or physical bullying is not acceptable in any way.

Well done to those who wore their odd socks today to show that we are all different and unique and we can stand united against bullying!
