The weather has been lovely this week and everyone has been enjoying the sunny, fresh mornings when out playing at break and lunch time. P4 have been encouraged to make sure no one is left out when playing games and always to involve others.
We also spent time this week recognising the qualities and strengths of our classmates. These were then recorded onto certificates which are displayed in class. This was a very valuable exercise as recently there have been a few disagreements between classmates. It’s important to understand that whilst we might not always agree with each other we should still value our classmates for who they are.
In maths we have been very busy working on reviewing multiplication and learning new skills in division. We discussed the maths vocabulary for these topics and did lots of practical activities to help us understand the concepts. We were reminded how important it is to know our times tables for these skills and it would be great if you could encourage your child to revise these at home.
In literacy we worked as a pair to complete a creative writing activity. Everyone really enjoyed this and many said they found it helpful to share and build on the ideas of their partners.
Next week we are looking forward to working with P3 and P3/4 on our new topic of the Egyptians.
