Super Tessellations

This week, we have been busy doing lots of different things. In Maths, we have been recapping properties of 3D shapes and we have been learning how to tessellate 2d shapes to make super patterns.

In science, we have also been learning about conductors and insulators. We conducted an investigation to see which materials would let electricity flow through them. Materials such as paper clips, foil and coins would conduct electricity!

We have started to learn our 3 timetables about we have been practising making arrays and repeated addition. We have also been learning to multiply a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number!
 
Well done this week Primary Four!!

Successful Learners Impressing in P1b

This week we have been learning our new sounds sh, ch and th.  We have been practising reading and writing the sounds and our tricky words.  We have also been working hard using the coathangers and the velcro mats to spell different words and to make sentences.

In maths, we have been practising our addition and have been learning all about subtraction.  We know that this means the same as take away or minus.  We made some minus monsters and have been using the cubes and counters to help us take away.  We have also been working on our number talks and have been sharing how we worked out or answers with others.

In structured play, we enjoyed playing with the lego and using the tools to build.  We also enjoyed working in small teams to run the Bankton Restaurant.  It was very busy today with lots of phonecalls to reserve tables.  The children even had to deal with some unhappy customers who were complaining!

Keep up the good work next week!
