🌟 Primary 3/4 Weekly Round-Up – Week Eight
✏️ Literacy & Spelling
This week we completed our “Save Fairyland” focus by writing about how we saved Fairyland. This gave us a wonderful opportunity to look back at all the fun and amazing writing we have created this term.
We also hit our class target on sentence openers 🎯 and celebrated by voting for a hot chocolate/ice cream and movie afternoon – which was lots of fun and very yummy! 🍫🍦🎬
Our spelling focus was ‘ur’, and we continued to use our spelling strategies to practise words with this sound.
🔢 Maths
We celebrated our learning with an End of Term Place Value Party 🎉. We had lots of fun making numbers with our party hats and recognising which digits belonged to which value. There was also a glow stick number challenge, Swat the Number, and even Pass the Parcel with a twist – where each layer could only be opened after answering a place value question. These activities helped us to revisit and consolidate our knowledge of digits, how they are formed, and why place value is so important.
🌱 Topic – Planet Protectors
We concluded the plants phase of Planet Protectors by looking at inheritance and characteristics passed through generations in both plants and humans. The children had great fun comparing themselves to other members of their families and noticing similarities and differences. They also created drawings to reflect their learning.
💻 ICT
This week the Primary 5/6/7 class joined us to help us develop our skills in Glow and Canva. Together, we created fantastic Planet Protector comic strips, showing creativity and collaboration.
We also completed another internet safety lesson using the book #Goldilocks: A Cautionary Tale. We discussed what is safe and unsafe to post online and thought carefully about how our digital choices affect ourselves and others. The children then created their own examples of safe and unsafe posts to show their understanding.
💖 PSHE
In PSHE, we discussed and wrote about how to care for a baby. As part of our play provision, the classroom was set up with lots of baby equipment, which has been a big hit and provided plenty of opportunities for role play, discussion, and teamwork.
On Wednesday, we were very lucky that baby Rosie and her Mummy came to visit us. We asked lots of really excellent questions, learnt lots about babies from Rosie’s mummy and even got some cuddles.
🎉 Other News
We enjoyed Big Play on Friday — a great opportunity to explore the other classes and interact with the wider school community.
We also helped the Primary 6s complete their Play Leader training in the gym hall, joining in their activities and having great fun together.
