P4 Homework ✏️

Today each child in the school was given a handprint by Miss Ferguson. πŸ–

This week’s homework task is to think of 5 adjectives to describe yourself then write one word on each finger. Remember to use your nearest writing and large letter size to fill the finger. On the palm, you could draw a design or write you name in big, bold letters and colour with brightly to make it stand out. Miss Ferguson is looking out for those who are trying hard with good effort. ✏️

Please hand in your homework by this Friday. 🌟

Marvellous Monday! πŸ˜ƒ

Today in Primary 4, we enjoyed learning about block graphs in Maths as part of information handling. Our focus was interpreting and answering questions about the graphs we see. As part of Grammar, we enjoyed using the first letter of our names to make Acrostic poems using adjectives to describe ourselves:

Awesome

Vibrant

Amazing

Everyone was pleased to see the sun come out just in time for us playing Team Games during Outdoor PE. β˜€οΈ

Big Writing ✏️

Today Primary 4 took park in Big Writing that focused on using our senses to describe the setting. We had fun learning how to do a new Making Thinking Visible β€˜thinking routine’ called I See, I Think, I wonder. We were able to respond to an image stimulus and show our thinking. Some of us even got to read our stories to the class! πŸ“š

Well done everyone for your hard work this week. Congratulations to our first Star Pupil L-R H-H and also to this week’s Class Dojo winners, ZM and LB. 🌟

Have a great weekend! πŸ˜ƒ

ICT πŸ’»

Today in Primary 4, we enjoyed using our ICT time to access Sumdog: Numeracy and Spelling as well as Active Learn: Numeracy and Bug Club. We are using these digital resources to improve our numeracy, spelling and reading skills.

Class Charter πŸ‘₯πŸ’›πŸŒ

Today Primary 4 enjoyed discussing our Rights. We identified that everyone under the age of 18 has Rights and they are in place to protect us. Some Rights are important to us in school and the classroom and we recognise our responsibilities to them. It was good fun designing are creating ourselves to add to our β€˜Class Charter.’

Health and Wellbeing πŸ’š

Today in Primary 4 we have been learning about Friendships: why they are important, ways to be a good friend and how that makes us feel. ☺️

We also discussed that hearing a compliment from a friend makes us smile and giving a compliment makes us feel good about ourselves. πŸ˜€ Everyone created β€˜A Good Friend…’ flower for our garden of friendship display. 🌼

Bug Club & ICT


Today we enjoyed reading β€˜Here is a Water Drop’ from Bug Club, our new digital literacy resource. πŸ“š

We listened to the story then identified the repetition and rhyme used by the author. It was great fun creating our own rhyming word cards and playing a game of pairs. πŸ‘πŸΌ

Also, there is a new resource called β€˜Bug Club’ which is our new digital resource being used during literacy lessons. πŸ’š

During the week, children are introduced to a new β€˜shared’ text in class. This should then be read and discussed with an adult at home. It’s a great opportunity to talk with your child about the story events, characters and vocabulary.Β Our first book was City Kids Detective. πŸ”

This will now be part of homework. ✏️ It works best on Google a Chrome. 😁 If you have any problems logging in please message me on the blog. πŸ’¬Β

Marvellous Maths 😁 ✏️


Primary 4 have been marvellous at maths today by ordering numbers.

Our top tips:

  • When the Hundreds digit is the same, look at the Tens digit.
  • When the Tens digit is the same, look at the Units.Β 

Why not practise at home…

Please make sure jumpers and jackets have pupil names on them so we can identify who they belong too, should they be misplaced.

Outdoor PE

Today Primary 4 had fantastic fun during outdoor PE. We focused on following the rules of the games and identified three ways we know we are improving our physical fitness: fast heart beating, increased breathing and our bodies are starting to sweat. We can’t wait for out next outdoor PE session on Thursday!

Remember those water bottles… πŸ™‚
