This Week in P4

What a great week this week, here are some of the class to tell you about it:

Katy – I loved the outdoor classroom this week.

Oliver and Cassie -I liked the movie on Friday.

Cassie – I really liked the E.R.I.C. times (Everybody reading in class).

Jacob H and Cassie – I liked the outdoor learning and using the maps.

Tain – On our outdoor learning walk I had fun because we got to plan our own route back to school.

We also continued to explore the measurement of length using cm and metres,  developed our understanding of characterisation. Played with words by making calligrams and helping the P1 to draw calligrams too.

We have further developed our understanding and experience of teamwork through problem solving in maths, PE, a book day writing challenge and classroom routines.

This Week in P4

We have been sharing our home learning this week, many of the class remembered and were ready. We have been looking at our writing targets and developed our awareness of first level goals. we have had some first aid from Mrs armstrong and the children learned about the actions to take if we find someone hurt.

We enjoyed our outdoor learning with P1M this week exploring measure and looking for signs of Spring.

The children were challenging their P1 reading buddies to write key vocabulary from their books this week. The P1’s had excellent writing skills, the P4’s were impressed.

In maths we had some check ups, this caused a few problems as the children found some of the question formats difficult.  We will work on this more in class.

Finally the children have been engaged in some teamwork activities this week in a variety of subjects.

We have continued to learn about time, introducing digital times for o’clock and half past. In Number Talks, we shared strategies for addition.

Our phonic sound was ew this week which links to oo and u-e sound for next week. We have now learned how to write all of the letters of the alphabet as capitals. We shared some of the adventures of Flat Stanley, and will continue sharing these next week.

In art, we painted and drew Spring flowers.

Remember, if you know of any grandparents who would like to share what life was like for them growing up, we would love to hear from them.

P1a Learning Reflection W/E 1st March

Friday again! In P1 we have been continuing with number talks. We were asked how to make 20 and then we discussed all the different ways of making 20. In maths we have been continuing to learn about halves. We made pizzas on paper using halving of ingredients, made towers of certain numbers and then worked out what half of the amount was. We have started looking at giving change from 10p. We had our own shop, played two games one called coin exchange and the other one change please.  In Literacy we learned the new sounds ar and or and we learned a new tricky word which was we. We made and wrote words with these sounds in them. We played roll and read game. In writing we described Katie Morag. We learned what an adjective is and used adjectives to write a sentence about Katie Morag. With Mrs Fraser in science we were learning about flowers. We spoke about what plants give you, made flowers labelling the different parts of them and planted our own bean seeds. Someone has a daily job now of checking on the beans and watering them if they need it. In IDL we listened to another Katie Morag story and then drew a map of her island. In music we found the beat of a song and kept it. We also learned the song wind the bobbin up. Here are a few reflections:

Leighton: “I came up with a funny word, snore.”

Isaac: “I enjoyed writing the sound or. It was tricky saying or.”

Ayden: “I found it tricky when writing or. It was hard to keep my letters the same size.”

Lois: “I felt the same as Isaac. It was tricky saying the or sound.”

Ch: “I enjoyed doing number talks and thinking about ways to make 20.

Sam: “I found it easy to write the sound or.”

Euan: “I enjoyed writing the tricky words.”
