P4B Money Week
Learning Intention: We are learning to spend within a budget.
Success Criteria:
– I understand what a budget is and can keep within it.
– I can discuss and plan spending with others.
– I can use ICT to select items and work out their cost.
– I can apply addition strategies to work out total amount spent.
In groups, pupils were asked to discuss, plan and select different items to buy for the school’s new nursery playground. Pupils had a budget of £500 and had to buy at least 10 exciting items for the new playground. We used netbooks to research different shopping sites and select various items. We were also able to apply our knowledge of money and addition to calculate the total about spent.
P4B Trip to Dynamic Earth
P4B had a fantastic day at Dynamic Earth this week! It was a super opportunity for us to learn more about the different climates we have been learning about in class, but also to learn more about planet earth and how it was formed.  We loved all the different hands on activities we were able to take part in and touching the giant block of ice in the Arctic Section was our favourite!
After exploring Dynamic Earth we finished off the day with an interesting workshop on the Rainforest. We were able to share all the facts we already knew about the rainforest and also learn new interesting information.
What a super day, we would love to go back again soon!
A postcard from the rainforest.
Learning Intention:
We are learning how to write a postcard.Â
Success Criteria:
I can include specific features of a postcard that include;
- Layout
- Stamp
- Address
I can use interesting vocabulary in my postcard.
This week in writing, we researched facts about  different rainforests in the world and watched an informative video. Then we used all our knowledge we had learned, to decide which rainforest we would write from and what we would experience if we spent a holiday there. We came up with lots of fantastic adjectives to describe our experience in the rainforest including different aspects such as the climate, food and animals.
Super effort, primary 4a.
P4B Rainforest Weather Report
LI: We are learning to describe and understand key aspects of different climates.
Primary 4B have been working hard this week on the IDL Topic – Crazy Climates. This week’s focus was on tropical climates and we have been learning all about the rainforest and its different characteristics.
SC:
– I can explain that the rainforests are found near the equator.
– I understand the difference between climate and weather.
– I can describe what the weather is normally like in a tropical climate.
– I can create a weather report for a tropical climate.
In pairs, we applied the information we learned about tropical climates to write and perform a weather report to the class.
