This week in P3B!

It’s so good to be back P3B! You are all enjoying being in  school  again and playing with your friends.

This week we have been working hard on our 3 and 4 times tables. We love to use  animated clips or videos to help us skip count in 3s and 4s. We are learning how to work out multiplication word problems and we wrote the 4 times table in the playground using chalk.

We  have used word boost this week to help us  learn new words and understand what they mean.

We started our Ancient Egypt topic and we wrote down what we know already. Most of us know they have pyramids there but we are not sure why. As a class we came up with three big questions that we want to find the answers to.

In Science we have been experimenting with magnets which was good fun!

On Thursday we had a great World Book Day. We looked at the books in our school library and we are trying to find out what the best book in the world is. We also found out about working in publishing. The jobs of editor and illustrator sound really interesting.

We love lots of different books. What is your favourite book?

P4/3 Remote Learning 1.3.21

This week we have been continuing to learn to write a discussion text.  This week we wrote a text about ‘Should animals be allowed in schools?’ We planned our work by writing key words under the headings ‘for’ and ‘against’ and then used these notes to write our full discussion text.  We have also been learning about homophones and using the correct spelling of two, to & too in sentences.

In Maths this week we have been learning about giving directions. We drew our own compass and used its points to describe journeys.

In Health this week we learned about relationships and how important they are.

This week we have been looking at our community and what amenities it provides.  We drew maps of the natural areas too.

This week also contained World Book Day when we took part in a game of Bingo activities to do with reading.  One of them was to take a picture of ourselves reading in our favourite place.

This week in P4!

What a great week in P4 again! We have learned a lot about homophones, planned and written a discussion text and completed lots of activities all about World Book Day. Thank you for sending photos of yourselves reading your favourite book and for taking part in the activities.  We looked at reading in unusual places, dressing up as a favourite character and enjoying a book in your pj’s among others. We have been learning all about position and direction this week in maths and have continued to look at our local community for our topic lessons. We were also the Daily Class Winner on Monday in the West Lothian Sumdog competition, well done everyone!  You have all worked so hard, here are just some examples of your great learning from World Book Day this week. There were so many wonderful photos on our Teams page P4 it was so difficult to choose just a few, well done!

I look forward to all of your learning next week. Have a lovely weekend.

P5 & P5/4 World Book Day

Yesterday was World Book Day.  P5 and P5/4 worked very hard. Everyone led their learning and chose how they wanted to complete each task. We are  super impressed with the creative ideas and different formats used to complete all activities. Excellent examples are shown below.
