What an unexpectedly sunny week we have had. Luckily we have been able to get outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine for gym this week. We have really enjoyed playing a range of team building games and learning all about what it means to be a team player.
This week we have started to learn about a new genre in Writing. This is called Recount, where we are learning to retell and evaluate past events and experiences. This week we have been writing about ‘Our First Day In Primary 4/3′. We examined an example text and looked at all the different parts that make up a recount text. Mrs Stevenson challenged us to identify and name all the different parts of the text and label and colour code an example. We really enjoyed working with a partner to do this.
After examining the structure of the text we looked at some of the language that we could use in our own writing. We explored past tense verbs and time ordering words.
After devising a plan for our work, the next day we had a go at putting our learning into practise and writing our recount. We did a pretty good job! Check out some of our pieces below.
We are taking our time to think about and devise our class charter. One activity we did this week was to think about our own most important value. We shared with each other what we thought was an important quality to possess. As a class we designed a class flag using all of our key values. It is proudly on display in our classroom and we feel it represents Primary 4/3 very well. One of the most common values that appears on our flag is ‘kindness’.
We hope you enjoyed a little snapshot of our week in Primary 4/3. We hope everyone has a lovely, sunny weekend.
