Sharing Our Learning
Primary 4 have started learning about Rainforests. We have looked at where rainforests are in the world and what the climate is like in a rainforest. This week, we investigated the different layers of a rainforest, the different climates they have and the animals and plants that live in each layer. We used our critical thinking skills to research and complete a fact file on the layers of a rainforest.
In Primary 4 this week, we have been working on our 2D shapes. We played different games to practise identifying 2D shapes, discussing the different properties of 2D shapes and practising making tessellation patterns. We were using our communication, creativity and critical thinking skills.
This week Primary 4 started their interest stations. In these the pupils lead their learning in small groups. They used their collaboration and communication skills to plan out what they want to learn and how they are going to do it. For this block the pupils have chosen to do stop motion animation, art and Hama beads. Lots of creativity, collaboration and communication skills being used!
Primary 4 have been practising our addition this week in numeracy. We have been using our partitioning strategy to add 2 digit numbers and 3 digit numbers together.
In our Building Thinking Classrooms we have been working on our communication and collaboration skills to work together to solve a problem.
Primary 4 had their first music lesson this week with NYCOS, they are going to be coming into our classroom for a block of music lessons. This week, we practised clapping along to the beat of a song through different games, we practised singing along to the beat and hour music hand signals. We used our communication and collaboration skills when working as a group and in pairs and we used our creativity by making music.
