We’ve had another busy week in primary 4.<\/p>\n
We are continuing to work on our persuasive writing techniques and the children have written letters to the European Space Agency to persuade them that children should be allowed to go to space!\u00a0 They were also very excited when they got the extra break they had asked for in their previous persuasive writing lesson.\u00a0 The power of persuasive writing!<\/p>\n
We are enjoying our space topic and have been amazed by how many interesting and thought-provoking questions the children have been coming up with about space and stars in particular.\u00a0 We have started learning about the life cycle of a star and have also found out about the eight phases of the moon. This will explain why your child might be very interested in looking at the moon and is making comments like, “That’s a waxing gibbous!” or “That’s a waning crescent!”.<\/p>\n
In numeracy we are continuing to work on our times tables and division and this week are working on dividing by 6.\u00a0 We are getting really good at using our strategies to help us.<\/p>\n
Dress Down Day<\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t forget that we are supporting Children in Need tomorrow with our Dress Down Day.\u00a0 Children can come dressed in yellow, spots, in their PJs or as a superhero.\u00a0 If they do, please could they make a donation of at least 50p to Children in Need.<\/p>\n Reminders:<\/strong><\/p>\n PE is still on a Tuesday and a Thursday but will change in a couple of weeks (we will let you know on the blog).<\/p>\n Homework will be given out on a Wednesday and is to be handed in on the Monday (almost two weeks later). Please could you send in the homework share it jotters and reading books daily however as we will use them in class.<\/p>\n Please provide a water bottle every day.<\/p>\n Thanks for your support,<\/p>\n Mrs Muir and Miss Clark.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’ve had another busy week in primary 4.
