Class Posts, Primary 4

Welcome to the Year of the Rat!

Today we all enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year from Primary 3 who had their assembly presentation.

Going back through the week we have had a big focus on numeracy and looking at a wide variety of strategies for multiplying and dividing. Ask your children about arrays, repeated addition or subtractions, groups, sharing, using a number line or making links with times tables.

We have all completed our gymnastics routines and have peer assessed each group. There are some amazingly brave and bendy pupils in this class, and there were some super creative ideas in every routine.

In literacy we have had our first opportunity to borrow books from our new library. We are learning to write a Procedure and will be writing a recipe to begin with. We are also learning about proper nouns and present tense verbs.

With Karen from NYCOS we have been learning about ta, tete and rests and also about pitch (Soh and Mi).

D – I liked the booklet of maths because it gets me better at division.

L –  I liked the P3 assembly especially the video of the Lion Dance.

A – I enjoyed indoor break because I got to make 2 comics.

F – I like when we got the laptops out because we’ve not had much time with them before. It was good getting our own login.

J – I liked the assembly because I got a certificate and I’m proud of it.

E – I liked when we went to the library and got to choose our own book and get it scanned.

E – I enjoyed doing the routines in gymnastics.

H – I liked yesterday when we got the laptops because I have a funny password.

L – I liked the gymnastics routines because we got to peer assess them.

A – I enjoyed music when we learned a song about lemonade.

L – I liked learning how to write a recipe.

K – I liked the gymnastics when we all did our routines and it was good to hear all the feedback.

P2/1 Learning Reflection Week ending 31st January 2020

Another productive and busy week for P2/1. This week in Literacy P1 have been learning the long vowel sounds or and air and the tricky words like and want. We have coloured in real and nonsense words, built words on our magnetic boards and played roll and read. P2 have continued to focus on tricky words.  We looked for them in a word search, made them on magnetic boards, played bingo and wrote them in rainbow spelling.  In writing this week we have started looking at writing instructions. We made a cat sock puppet and then wrote down the instructions on how to make a sock puppet.  In Maths this week we have continued to explore time. We have been making o’clock and half past times on an analogue clock. We also learned what quarter past looked like. P2 have been reading analogue clocks and converting the time to digital. P1 have been reading and writing o’clock times on an analogue clock.  In P.E we continued with gymnastics. We looked at different shapes, jumps, balances and rolls. We worked with a partner to create our own sequence. We had our Star of the Week circle time. Connie is our star of the week. We explored alliteration this week. Alliteration is when words start with the same sound for example swim-swam. We thought of words that started with the same sound as the animals in the story of There was a Wee Lassie who swallowed a Midgie. On Wednesday we had a visit from two Policemen who work in the road police unit. They spoke to us about the job of the police and we all got a shot on their motorbikes. Solomia even got to sound the sirens. On Friday we went to Primary 3’s assembly which was all about Chinese New Year.  Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I liked having a shot on the Police motorbike.”

“I enjoyed Primary 3’s assembly. I liked the song.”

“I enjoyed our visit from the Police.”

“I enjoyed learning about what the Police do to help us.”

“I enjoyed assembly and the visit from the Police.”

“I liked getting to turn on the siren on the Police motorbike.”

“I enjoyed reading There was a Wee Lassie who Swallowed a Midgie. Also I enjoyed learning about Habitats with Miss Whigham.”

“I enjoyed Primary 3’s assembly. My favourite part was the Lion Dance.”

“I enjoyed Primary 3’s assembly when we watched the video of the dragon.”

Winter poems by P2

P2 used the word WINTER to write acrostic poems this week.

Leighton – You have to spell the word down the side of the poem. You have to think of a word that starts with each letter from the word.

Austin – The words have to be about the topic you are writing about.

James – It does not have to rhyme at the end. It needs to start with the same sound.
