It has been a short, but busy week in P4/3. We have been working hard on developing our literacy skills, in particular learning to take notes to help us write extended sentences. Have a look at some of our work.

 

We also looked at core writing targets and how we should be using them every time we write. Ask your child to tell you more about them.

In numeracy , we have been exploring adding and subtracting 10 or 100 to a given number. Some children have been finding this a tricky concept to grasp, so we will revise our learning next week.

We have made the most of the better weather and enjoyed P.E. sessions. We continue to improve our fitness levels by using the trim track and taking part in different races.

Have a lovely weekend and I will check in with you all next Friday.

This week;

CE- I learnt that to quickly multiply numbers ending in zero, I must multiply the non zero numbers first then add the remaining in the end.

AF- If you are estimating the answer a question, you have to do rounding first.

 

Literacy

LD-  I learnt that homophones are words that sound the same but have different meaning.

FS- I now know that the word they’re refers to a contracted group of  words ‘ they are’.

Outdoor learning

CW- we went outside to pick up leaves, grass and sticks.  Then we made them into artwork.
