IDL

We will come back to our Egyptians topic, but I thought it would be good to complete a personal project whilst we are working online. We will use a Scottish theme for our projects. With this in mind you could do your project on Scottish landmarks, Scottish food, Scottish sports, Scottish animals, Scottish Myths and Legends, or anything else you can think of. Please use the Personal Project sheet below to record which topic you would like to do your Personal Project on, and place it in your folder or email the school. I will then let you know if you chosen topic is suitable. I will give you some ideas on what you can include in your personal project after this.

Tues 12th – Personal Project

Enjoy your day!! Miss Taylor will be with you first thing tomorrow for a writing lesson.

In Numeracy we have looked at some more subtraction problems. We have been looking at subtraction facts to 20 this week as well as subtraction problems involving odd and even numbers. Here are some examples of our good work:

 

 

In writing this week we wrote a letter to Santa or a letter about what we would like to do in the holidays. We used the skills we have been learning about, such as an introduction and using paragraphs. Here are some of our letters:

 

In Reading this week we have continued reading in our groups as well as listening to and discussing our class novel which is The Christmasaurus. Here are some of our thoughts on the story so far:

I like William because he is trying his best to stand up for himself.  I don’t like Brenda because she is a big bully! – Emily

Brenda Payne is really mean to William because he is in a wheelchair. – Ryley

I thought Brenda was nice at first, but now I hate her! – Erin R

The book is funny and silly at the same time. – Ariah

The book is very interesting and spooky because we wouldn’t want to be watched by someone in a postbox! – Chloe

It is good to be able to predict what will happen next! – Derry

Brenda is mean and selfish – Hadiyaah

There is a dinosaur in the North Pole who wants to fly like the reindeer. – Lacey

It was funny when the Christmasaurus was born! – Stevi

The dinosaur’s egg was in ice. – Summer

 

 

In Numeracy we continue to work on Subtraction. We all had the opportunity of being “the teacher” and spoke through a ‘borrowing’ sum with the rest of the class. Here are some photos of us doing this:

 

In writing this week we have completed one more Persuasive Writing and created a one-sided argument about why a Movie Day is a good idea. We enjoyed doing this and thinking about how a movie can help us learn new vocabulary etc as well as being relaxing and a lovely treat.

“It’s the perfect way to get ready for the Christmas holidays” – Rihanna

“Having a movie day helps us learn hard words” – Hadiyaah

“It gives us a treat for all our hard work” – Joe

“A movie day gives us the chance to learn something new” – Gracie

 

In Reading this week we have continued reading in our groups as well as listening to and discussing our class novel which is The Christmasaurus. We are excited to see what happens next. We will continue to use this text to help us in our Word Wizard roles.

 

We have been busy learning our Christmas poem this week. As a class we split up the poem a line at a time in small groups. This has worked really well! We are looking forward to filming this next.

 

 

 

In Numeracy we have been working on decomposition (borrowing). Some of us have found this quite a challenge, but we have stuck with it. This would be a good thing for the children to practise at home when they can!

We continue to work on Subtraction. We have enjoyed using our Heinemann textbooks to challenge ourselves this week. In Number Talks we have looked at how we can use the answer to one sum to help us quickly and easily solve the answer to another. Here is an example below:

 

 

In writing this week we have continued to look at Persuasive Writing and created a one-sided argument about why reading is important. We thought about how reading impacts our lives at school, at home and how it will prepare us for the World of Work. We know that it is without a doubt, a very important skill to have!

 

Here are some of our finished pieces:

 

In Reading this week we have looked at the role of a Word Wizard. This is where we find a word we are unsure of, we make a guess at its meaning, then we find out what it means and then finally show our understanding of this by using it in a sentence. Here are our words from this week:

‘Trampled’

‘Consumed’

‘Disbelief’

 

We have been busy filming our Sharing the Learning this week! We have lots of good things to tell you about that P4 do in Literacy and Numeracy. We look forward to you seeing our videos.

 

 

 

In Numeracy we have been working on decomposition (borrowing). Some of us have found this quite a challenge, but we have stuck with it. This would be a good thing for the children to practise at home when they can!

At first I thought it would be hard, but when I got the hang of it, it was really easy – Emily

When I started it was quite tricky and now it’s got really easy – Caelan

When I’ve started using my head to work them out it has gotten easier – Sophie C

It was tricky but when we got our mind to it, we could do it – Summer

I found it extremely hard, but when I thought about it, it was easy – Shay

 

In writing this week we have looked at Persuasive Writing again and creating a one-sided argument about why having a school uniform is important. We began by coming up with good reasons for this before completing our pieces. Here are some of our thoughts:

We should have school uniform for if we get lost on a trip – Maisy

When I thought about having a school uniform, I thought of hundreds of ideas! – Erin R

It was tiring, but it was a good job and worth it! – Alyssa

When I was writing I used my persuasive writing mat to help me – Kayleigh

Here are some of our finished pieces:

 

We have been busy preparing our Sharing the Learning ready to film next week! We have lots of good things to tell you about that P4 do in Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Wellbeing.

 

In PE this week we have been playing some games to help increase our fitness levels. We were in the hall this week due to rainy weather. We really enjoyed the Video Game where we had to ‘fast forward’ – run, ‘rewind’ – go backwards, ‘pause’ – stop, ‘record’ – pull a silly face and ‘slow motion’ – walk at half speed! Here are some photos of us enjoying the games this week:

 

Well done on another productive week Primary 4!!

In Numeracy we have continued working on subtraction. We have used this in our Number Talks also. This is one of the sums we had to work out and say how we got our answers:

 

 

In writing this week we have looked at Persuasive Writing again and created a one-sided argument about why having a school garden is important. We began by coming up with good reasons for this before completing our pieces.

Children’s pieces:

 

We have taken part in daily activities to raise awareness of the Children in Need theme this week. We have discussed our goals for each day as well as what we are grateful for and any worries we may have. We have thought about how we can help ease our worries also. Here are some of our thoughts and some pictures:

It helped me discuss how I felt and why I felt that way – Alyssa

I feel happy after writing about all my worries – Erin R

It is good to let the teacher know what your worries are about – Kayleigh

I am grateful for having my family, pets and friends all around me – Maisy

Also as part of this we did Joe Wicks 5 minute workout every morning to start off our day. This was fun and got us energised for the day!!

Well done Primary 4 for working hard again this week!

 

In Numeracy we have started working on subtraction. We completed an assessment to see where we are all at so that Mrs Hillan knows where we need supported or challenged.

It was fun but a little bit tricky – Erin R

It was quite easy but some of the sums were quite hard – Alyssa

When there was a big number and a small number you had to count in between which took a bit of time – Derry

It was hard work! – Summer

In our assessment we could only use our whiteboards to help us – Chloe

It was tricky but we were allowed to use our whiteboards to work out sums – Ariah

 

 

For literacy this week we have continued working hard on our new spelling words and we have these home again to practise. We have our new homework out which requires us to pick two tasks from the grid to help us learn our spelling words. It is really important that we complete these each week.

In writing this week we have looked at Persuasive Writing again and created a one-sided argument. We used Fireworks as our theme this time. We assessed ourselves using our core target grids and our genre target grids for persuasive writing. We spoke about the pros and cons of fireworks to help us decide which side of the argument we wanted to write from. We will look at another persuasive piece next week. Here are some pieces from this week:

 

 

 

We continued our topic of The Egyptians this week. We finished creating our questions on what we would like to find out about the Egyptians, here are some of them:

Who was the King? – Maisy

Where do they sleep? – Jessica

How did they survive? – Ciaran

Where do they get soap? – Shay

What did the Egyptians do for fun? – Holly

Where did they get the sand from? – Lacey

How did they speak? – Joe

What food do they eat? – Gracie

How did they make pyramids? – Caelan

Where do they live? – Daniel
