Read, Write, Count

 

We loved coming to school in our jammies on Tuesday. All our lessons were about the book ‘ROCKETMOLE’. We created a fact file about ourselves during writing this week. Armstrong the Rocketmole wrote a letter to us asking for our help with addition. We were all every excited to receive our Read, Write, Count Bags.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Literacy

In writing, we were persuading the reader that reading was important. We had a class discussion before we started and we identified all the different ways that we use reading in our everyday life. When included powerful persuasive language and connecting words within our writing.

In P3/2 we worked very hard sounding out our spelling words. We continued with rainbow writing and using our words in sentences. This week, we also found making a chant a useful strategy to help us remember how to spell our words.

 

Maths

This week, we were learning about addition. When adding our numbers together we found number squares and sticks useful to help us calculate the answer. We were also working on addition word problems.

IDL

In our Vikings topic, we were learning about what food th

e Vikings ate. The Vikings did not have supermarkets like we have today and they could not import food from other countries. Therefore, the Vikings could only get food that they could grow and catch. To keep their meat and fish fresher for longer, the Vikings would salt or smoke them.

Wow what an exciting week we have had! Have a read to see what we have been up to!

What a busy week in P4/3 as we have been working collaboratively (a skill for life) to discuss, organise, present and film our learning for parents/carers to view. Look out for the link being sent to your e-mail, so you can watch our amazing presenting skills and learn more about what takes place in class!!

Outdoor Learning

All of the class enjoy outdoor learning with Mrs Dobbie on a Friday morning. Here are some pictures which showcase the learning that takes place in our outdoor environment.

We continue to develop our literacy skills and participate in spelling activities on a daily basis. This consistent approach is certainly helping as some children are scoring 100% in their dictation assessments at the end of the week. Well done P4/3, keep up the good work.

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