This week we are practising the fifth row of our wall. I will check the words on Thursday.
You have the Road Safety leaflet to complete and hand in by the end of the week.
For the holiday week, why not go on a lovely autumn nature walk, collect conkers and colourful leaves?
Why not make something warm for you and your family to eat? Look out a recipe in a book or online and have fun in the kitchen.
Find a cosy place to relax and read a book.
This afternoon we completed the details on our Viking weapons and stuck them together. Don’t we look a frightening crowd?
We had a fabulous Viking day in P4 today. We made Viking bread and ate it while it was lovely and hot, with mixed berries and homemade butter. We also made a great start on our Viking weapons. We will have to let them dry before we stick them together and add details. Next week we will be creating some Viking-inspired jewellery.
Today we were working with Mrs Keith. We were thinking about bridging across 10 and using 10 frames to help us see how to make the calculation easier. Then we were challenged to see any patterns in our answers. Ask me to show you what we were doing and look at bridging and adjusting with other numbers e.g. 49 +8 is the same as 50+7.
We have had another busy day in P.4! Lots of thinking about our learning, using clues to help us and using what we already know – it’s all in a day’s work!!
Details about the Road Safety Campaign Competition are as follows:
It has to be linked to 1 or all of:
It it would be best if you brought it in by 13th October because you must get forget to bring it back after the holidays!
Homework from 3/10/17 until 12/10/17
Language
Spelling words:
3/10/17 This week practise the words in the fourth row of your spelling wall.
Make up and write neatly 6 interesting sentences which include your spelling words and some connectives (but, so, because, then, after that, etc.). Remember that we should be practising our classroom learning all the time.
10/10/17 For this short week practise the fifth row of your spelling wall.
Reading
Find an interesting sentence or short paragraph from a piece of environmental text – reading book, poster, flier, newspaper report, recipe etc. Copy it into your jotter and explain why you think it is interesting.
Number
Make sure that you are also completing your Activelearn games and activities at home. The id is the first 4 letters of the child’s first and last names, the password is the one that the child used in school ( these are all different depending on how they were set up last year) and the school code is 6kwa. (If anyone is having trouble accessing the site, please let us know).
Using the number square we have noticed that we can easily add or take away units and multiples of 10 and 100 by looking at the correct place value columns. Everyone has their own sheet to complete to practise this skill. Try these games to help you identify the place values quickly.

HWB – Road Safety
We have been given information about the Road Safety competition, so this week please complete the task at home.
Today, it was Big Writing, so we started the lesson with our VCOP human letters and song- to the tune of YMCA! We were focusing on connectives so we tried moving the words around to make interesting sentences.
Look at our sentences. We had to change some letters to capitals when we used the words as openers.
Have a great weekend.
In number we have used different methods to represent, order, identify and match place values in a variety of contexts.
When we used the dictionaries today, we learned that some words have different meanings and we have to use the meaning in the context of the sentence it is used in. For example, we had a word ‘snapped’ with meaning 3 from the verb section. We have to think very carefully, because language can be tricky!!
As you can see our fleet of Viking longboats looks amazing! They are on display in the open area with information written by the children about how they made their boat. Other pupils and staff have been very impressed by the quality of the work. Well done, everyone!
This photo was taken during our coaching today but anyone who didn’t want to be in the picture could opt out. Today we were learning how to defend the ball and then try to take it from our partner. The worst part was when we lost control of the ball and the sharks could get involved!
Remember P.E. kits and indoor shoes; and if you are going to the football club at lunchtime, it is especially important that you are wearing the correct clothes and footwear.
Homework from 26/9/17 until 2/10/17
Language
Spelling words:
This week we are going to consolidate the words from the first 3 weeks. They should be practised every day in a variety of ways to gain confidence and consistent accuracy.
Say, listen to, read and write out the words -use rainbow spelling, bubble writing, flowers, etc.
Challenge yourself to write sentences which include as many of the words as possible, but the sentences must make sense. Keep thinking of visualisation and top tips to help you spell correctly.

Reading
How many different types of text have you tried to read over the past 3 weeks? We have not seen any record yet of any reading at home! Please make a note in your homework jotter of your reading practice.
Number
We are thinking about how we can recognise and record numbers in different ways.
Cut out examples of whole numbers from newspapers /magazines or other texts. Stick them into your jotter. Numbers can be shown as words, numerals, pictures, graphs etc. Beside each example show that number in a different way, e.g. if it is in figures, then draw a picture e.g. hundreds, tens, units, base materials or tally marks ( if the number is below 50). If the number is written in words then write it as figures e.g. Fifteen = 15.
HWB
As part of our football coaching activity, we will be able to achieve different levels. For our bronze level, we are asked to find out some facts about a famous footballer (either male or female). Please research the following information:
We will transfer this information into your football coaching record in school.
