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.

What a fabulous week again P4! You have all worked so hard with your learning either in school or at home. We have looked at writing a discussion text and thinking about our arguments for and against a topic question; measuring in maths including measuring length, capacity and mass as well as practising our times tables and looking at our responsibilities in our health activities. We worked on a project all about Boudicca this week to learn more about her.

Here are some examples of our work:

This week in P4 we have looked at writing discussion texts, summarising a text and worked on our spelling in literacy. We have continued to look at column addition and multiplication in Numeracy. In our health activities, we focused on family and friendship and in our topic of The Celts, we looked at a range of research questions. These included finding out about the religion they followed, looking at the types of warriors they had and then drawing and designing Celtic shields.

Here are just a few great examples:

Hi everyone,

This week in P4 we have been learning how to write a discussion text and looking at the skills involved in this. We have worked on clarifying in our reading roles and looked at questions we would ask characters. We were able to retell stories through our reading task. In Maths this week we have focused on column addition and using written methods to solve number calculations.

We have continued to look at different foods and customs from around the world in our health lessons and it was great to see so many interesting menus that were made.

We are working on our current topic of The Celts and have been researching all about their houses, clothing and jewellery this week amongst other things.

Here are some examples of our wonderful jewellery:

This week in P4 we have been learning a lot! In Literacy we have worked on Spelling, writing imaginary stories, working on questioning through reciprocal reading and creating ideas for a new story through Author’s Live. In Maths, we have been focusing on the properties of 2D and 3D shape, tiling and symmetry. We have focused on safety in our health tasks this week and we have begun learning about our new topic of The Celts. We have started our research on this and it is exciting what we are finding out!

Our daily live calls have been great and we even took part in a scavenger hunt for household items!

We are looking forward to what next week brings in the classroom and through remote learning! I am so proud of all of you!

P4S SSPCA Visit

This morning we had a visit from the SSPCA who told us about what they do to help animals. We learned about lots of different animals by playing a game with question cards containing information. We then got to program a robot cat to move about, meow and make faces.
