Welcome to a new year in primary 4! Both classes have settled in really well and we’ve been very busy agreeing our class charter, our learning targets for the term and getting to know each other and the classrooms.<\/p>\n
We have started our Vikings topic already and have been looking at the similarities and differences between our lives and the lives of Vikings.\u00a0 We were all quite shocked that the Vikings sometimes took their farm animals to live with them in their houses!\u00a0 We will be investigating lots more about the Vikings and incorporating other curricular areas including drama and art to help us with our learning.<\/p>\n
In numeracy we will be consolidating the times tables we have already learned and starting to learn the 6,7,8 and 9 times tables. We will also be practising telling the time.\u00a0 We will revise telling the time to quarter past and quarter to the hour and then focus on telling the time to minutes past and to the hour.\u00a0 It would be great if you could practise telling the time with your child at home too.<\/p>\n
Homework:<\/p>\n
Homework will be issued every two weeks starting next week.\u00a0 There will be a variety of activities, some will be starred which means these should definitely be completed.\u00a0 There will also be other activities which are optional.\u00a0 House points will be given for any optional activities completed.\u00a0 We’ll share our homework in class every two weeks on a Friday.<\/p>\n
For the first term we will not issue a reading book as we will be working on a class novel and doing lots of reading in class. However we encourage all the children to read books at home.\u00a0 If you would like to borrow a book from school for your child to read, please let us know.<\/p>\n
PE:<\/p>\n
Indoor PE with the PE specialist Mrs Ferguson is on a Thursday and outdoor PE is on a Tuesday. Please could you make sure your child has a PE kit. If it’s easier the PE kit can be taken in at the beginning of the week and left in class until the Friday. Mrs Muir’s class have PE first thing on Thursdays so please could your child come in wearing PE kit and with their school uniform in their bag to change into after PE.<\/p>\n
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask us.<\/p>\n
Thanks for all your support,<\/p>\n
Miss Clark and Mrs Muir.<\/p>\n
