Primary 4 – October

 

Black History Month

We learned about Rosa Parks.
“She is significant because she refused to move off her seat for a white person when there were unfair laws to say she had to. She influenced change in her country to change laws” (Grace)

Writing
We were writing Autumn poems with a partner using Glow to type.

Maths
“We are learning to put numbers in the correct order. Sometimes from smallest to largest and sometimes from largest to smallest” (Kyle)

Maths Week Scotland

P4 took part in an outdoor symmetry challenge this week. They used natural material and loose parts to create symmetrical art. It was important that both sides of the chalk line were the same. Mrs McJimpsey was  also so pleased at how cooperatively we worked with our teams.  Next term, our next step in symmetry will be to create pictures with more than one line of symmetry.

Primary 7 Class Charter

We spent a lot of time considering which articles, from the UN convention of the rights of a child, were most suited to us in school.

We read the articles.

Highlighted the one that applied to us in school/class.

We considered the most important to us.

We then thought how we as Rights Holders could keep these rights and how the adults  as Duty Bearers, can help us maintain our rights.

Primary 4 Learning

This week the children have been writing an explanation to include a title, identifying statement, explanation sequence and summary statement.  They have also included time and sequence words and present tense verbs.

Today they have been demonstrating their ability to use a range of strategies to complete numeracy questions in a Big Maths Click Challenge.

This week, we have had lots of new books delivered for our class library.  The children were so excited and have really enjoyed choosing and reading new books.

P4 Learning

Primary 4 have been developing their drama skills to perform to a class audience.  They have worked in groups to present a range of traditional stories using pace, tone, gesture and expression.  Prior to this they compared and contrasted the content, structure and layout of a drama script to a narrative text.  Comparing these enabled the pupils to develop a better understanding of direct speech and how to punctuate it correctly.

Primary 7 weekly update

It was lovely to be back with all our friends again.

We started a new Numeracy topic on volume. We have been learning how to read volume scales on beakers and jugs in millilitres and litres, working out problems with volume and we have begun learning how to calculate the volume of cubes and cuboids in cubic centimetres.

In literacy, we watched a short persuasive animation and tried to work out the message it was showing us. We then looked at the different devices the animator used to persuade us and discussed how effective these were.

In art, we started using the new drawing pencils we got at the end of last term. We learned how to draw a realistic mouth.

Have a great weekend everyone.

From Primary 7 and Mrs Andison
