Lots of skills being developed today.

In P.E. we were practising and developing our skills in short team games.

We were thinking about moving into space so that our team-mates could pass to us easily.

We were developing dribbling control by weaving through the cones.

In our Learning Logs we are identifying our 7 steps for learning. We are making good progress in thinking about our learning.

Have a great weekend everyone and we’ll see you next Tuesday.

Today we were continuing to create a conversation in French using the Comic Life program on the PCs.

We were using the skills of transferring images to our piece of work from the Internet, then writing French phrases in the speech bubbles.

This afternoon we were writing about the visit we had from the SSPCA last Friday. Lots of pupils used paragraphs and were editing their own work by using the success criteria check list. I am looking forward to reading the recounts.

To apply our skills in place value, we have created another Maths Masterpiece. This time it is False Perspective,  by William Hogarth, which demonstrates how important perspective is in real life. Have a look for the picture on the Internet and see how many mistakes you can see!

This afternoon we were recording and sharing what we have learned about Viking long houses so far.  We drew pictures which showed the main features of long houses and labelled them.  Please ask us about us about them when we get home! Some pupils made fabulous models of Viking longships.

P4 had a busy day today. We were working on comprehension during reading time and sorting and naming 2Dshapes during maths. We were very interested  in learning about the main features of Viking long houses and using what we learned to create new dance moves for our Viking dance.

We learnt a lot today about the work of the SSPCA. Dawn told us lots of information about how they help wild animals. We looked at videos and played games to reinforce our understanding of different wild animals.

Dawn left us some goodies which we will give out next week.

Have a great weekend everyone.

We are looking forward to seeing you this evening. It will be great to share some of our activities with you and show you our learning walls. Today we have been developing our intercepting skills, exploring contractions, applying knowledge of place value and learning about the traditions of Shabbat- the Jewish Sabbath.

Today we have been learning about how our numbers are made up of different values.

We were amazed when we realised that the numbers are additions of different place values! We played some games to help us practise placing the values to match numbers.

This afternoon we watched some information about Roald Dahl, then wrote character descriptions based on the information we collected during reading yesterday.

I can’t wait to read the descriptions which bring these characters to life!

Please could I ask a favour? I have the spelling words ready for the next few weeks, so if I could stick them into the homework jotters that would be easier for the children. Please bring the homework Jotter into school tomorrow and I will sort them out. Thanks

Just a quick reminder for anyone who has not seen the Homework Blog this week. There is a Viking Festival being held in Largs this week. If you can get down there on Saturday it would be a great learning opportunity for the children and a great day out! Check out the Largs Festival website for more information. In previous years the firework display at night has been really spectacular too! In Largs there is also Vikingar, which if full of interesting interactive exhibits about Vikings. P4 have started to learn about where Vikings came from, so this day out could help their understanding of the subject.

Another busy day of learning. Lots of children are feeling proud of their achievements in P.E., ordering numbers and their language work. You have made my day, Primary 4; please keep up this great attitude and determination.
