P 4/5 have been learning to use ‘split’ and ‘jump’ strategies to add and subtract numbers. In writing, we have started to work on news articles. We have also been learning about ‘real’ and ‘pretend’ reading.

Primary 4 Library Corner
Primary 4 are very proud to have been chosen as winners for the middle school in our competition. We are looking forward to heading to Watersons to get books for our library. We worked together to come up with a theme and then everyone took part in making and designing something for the corner. We have favourite book covers, authors names, and sorted the books into different types, fiction and non fiction. We love our corner and enjoy going in and reading our books at DEAR time.
Primary 4/5
P 4/5 have been working on their book corner this week. In Maths, we have been learning to use different strategies in addition. We had lots of fun mixing sugar icing and decorating our own biscuits.
P4
This week in Primary 4 we have been very busy planning our Library Corner for the competition which is being judged on Friday morning.
We started by drawing a plan of what we would like our corner to be. We used our listening and talking skills to discuss what it should look like and what should be on the walls to encourage us to look after it and use it. We then put our ideas onto paper and drew a plan. We had some super ideas which were then discussed within the class and we made a list of the ones we could do on the board. We then got to work. We all worked cooperatively and made book covers, talked about our favourite authors and books, we made book ends for the shelves and made our own library. We set it around the theme of the BFG by Roald Dahl which is our new class novel. We hope to add to it to keep it exciting and fun to use! Today was all about being creative!

Our Week in P2/3
This week has been very exciting for us! We have been reading Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and received a letter from Mr Wonka himself! He set us the challenge to find out where chocolate comes from and the journey it takes from bean to bar. We have been enjoying exploring and sequencing the process and are continuing to make predictions and summarising what we have read so far.
In numeracy some of us have started to use an empty number line to think about the position and value of numbers. This strategy will then be used to help us solve addition and subtraction problems. Some of us have been using rekenreks to think about the different ways that we can make a given number and have also been using this for addition. In mathematics we have been looking at shapes and their properties.
We have been continuing to make predictions about what might happen next in our reading books and have been using clues from the title, pictures and words to help us. We have been enjoying using Iggy the Iguana to encourage us to think out loud about our predictions when reading.
