Sharing Our Learning
P4 have had a very busy first week back after the holidays. We have been participating in different session with our visitors from martial arts, yoga, fitness to dance.
P4 made our own smoothies using the smoothie bike.
We focused on our mental well-being this week by going to the park, hobby time and playing board games, using our communication and collaboration skills.
In Primary 4 this week, we investigated conductors and insulators. We predicted what objects would let electricity flow through it (conductors) or would stop electricity flowing through it (insulators). We then tested them out to see if our predictions were correct. We used our critical thinking skills to make our predictions and collaboration skills to work with our group.
This term in science, Primary 4 are learning about electricity. We discussed what we use electricity for in our everyday lives and how we keep ourselves safe when using electricity. We then looked at what is in a circuit and built a simple circuit.
P4 used our collaboration and critical thinking skills to create circuits and problem solve when they weren’t working. We looked at what makes a closed circuit and a broken circuit.
P4 have been learning multiplication this term. We have been practising different methods to help us work out multiplication questions. This week we focused on grouping using cubes and practising our repeated addition. We used our critical thinking skills to decide how we wanted to group them and used our repeated addition to find the answers. We used our communication skills to share our learning with the class.
On our Tuesday in PE, P3/2 and P4 will be learning how to play tennis. We talked about the equipment we use in tennis and how to be safe with them. This week, we focused on our balance and ball control, trying to balance the ball on our racket while racing.
On Thursday in PE this term we will be learning how to play benchball. This week we focused on our throwing and catching skills, practising our over head throw and chest pass. We used our communication and collaboration skills to pass the ball within our groups.
