We have enjoyed another week of learning in Primary 4 this week as we lead up to the Easter holidays.
In Numeracy, we have continued working on our times tables and have assessed our knowledge and understanding at present to see what we need to work on. We have been able to see that we definitely all need to be practising at home.
In Reading we have continued our new class novel of Roald Dahl’s “The Witches”. This has brought about some good discussion so far and we look forward to doing some predicting, clarifying, questioning and summarising around this. Here are some of our thoughts and things we have learned about so far from the story:
“Witches hate children!” – Erin R
“Witches look like normal ladies and that’s how they catch children.” – Ciaran
“Witches can smell kids” – Rihanna
“Witches have no toes” – Daniel
“I feel like it’s a nice novel, but a little scary” – Alyssa
“They wear gloves to not show their claws and they wear wigs because they are bald!” – Summer
“Witches make children vanish.” – Olivia
“The scent of children is stronger to a witch if they have just had a bath.” – Sophie G
“Children smell disgusting to witches” – Chloe
For our Writing this week we chose to either write a letter to the Easter Bunny or a chocolate company telling them about a new design for an Easter egg. We discussed the layout of a letter beforehand and we told Mrs Hillan what we needed to include. Here are some of our letters:
We hope everyone has a good Easter and stays safe!
