🌟 Primary 3/4 Weekly Round-Up – Week Seven

✏️ Literacy & Spelling

We received another letter from the Magic Dragon this week, telling us that we have nearly saved Fairyland with all our amazing reading and writing! He set us a final challenge to help Cinderella.

The children wrote invites to our celebration ball, designed beautiful new shoes for Cinderella, and thought carefully about what they would wish for from her Fairy Godmother.

Our sound focus this week was ‘ir’. We also learned about root words, prefixes, and suffixes, and how these change the meaning of words.

We have also been working on some tricky joins in our handwriting practice. This week we had some STAR hand-writers!

🔢 Maths

In maths, we used our place value knowledge to practise ordering and comparing numbers. We also continued our work on data handling, collecting information and presenting it in tally charts, frequency tables, and pictographs. Our hands on domino pictographs turned out to be a great display of team work, resilience and problem solving too!

💻 ICT

This week we learned how to log in to Glow, access our emails, and find programmes such as Sumdog and Canva. Next week we’ll be exploring Canva further alongside Primary 7.

💖 Health & Wellbeing

We read The Colour Monster and used it as inspiration to create fantastic pieces of artwork, using colours to show different feelings. We also talked about regulation strategies and how we can manage our emotions.

🎉 Other News

On Friday we held a Cinderella Ball in class to celebrate helping the Magic Dragon save Fairyland. We enjoyed games, dancing, and music together. As well as being lots of fun, the ball helped us to build skills in teamwork, cooperation, communication, creativity, and confidence.
