Maths
In numeracy this week the children were learning about rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. We used our big numbers square rug to help us understand the rule of rounding to the nearest 10 and 100. Ask them about it, I’m sure they would love to tell you it.
In maths we continued learning to tell the time. Some of the children were even telling the time in five minute increments. All the children were working super hard. I can see that they are using their home learning time to practice this.
Creative Arts
This week the children were shown a clip from the Disney classic Bambi. We listened to and watched the scene of the April Showers. While watching we were discussing how the music reflects what is happening in this part of the film.
After this the children were then asked to listen to Vivaldi-Storm and imagine what story this piece of music is telling. I loved that P3/4 could describe which emotions could be linked to both of these pieces.
Health and Wellbeing
There is currently a whole school focus, this is celebrating difference. This week primary 3/4 we exploring similarities and differences within our own families and families all over the world. We used our JIGSAW resources to help us discuss what constitutes as family in modern day society. We all got to share things about all our wonderful families and compare what might be similar or different with each other. The children then drew a family portrait, and inside the frames they wrote down the words that best reflects their family and how much they mean to them. Difference is something to celebrate and as a class we showed a great deal of respect towards each of our differences and similarities. Well done everyone!
