P4a is awesome!

This week we started to look at money in Maths. We were working with amounts to £5, buying goods and receiving change. We practised these skills during our ICT time.

In French this week we were asking questions about our names and the names of our friends. We also revisited all our previous French skills.

Next week we have chosen to do an activity, on the mindset afternoon, linking our budgeting skills and French together. Please come visit us from 2.00pm until 2.45pm on Wednesday (1.30pm in the hall first for a presentation by Miss Baillie and Mr Logan.)

In literacy we looked at different ways to display texts. We made posters for the school fair and about the Christmas Post Office we will run in P4 this year.

We worked out our potentual profit if we sell all our crafts at the school fair and then started making these for next week- this will take us a long time- but we hope you will like them.

We did football rounders for our PE with Mrs Newton and gymnastics with Mrs Reid.

We are almost finished reading Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone- we have been reading it since August and hope that all the parents will agree we can watch the movie as our Dojo Christmas Treat (Mrs Newton has sent a Dojo message about this.)

We visited the book fair and loved seeing all the different books we could read.

A huge thank you to Abbie’s dad who has donated wood (and is going to arrange to have it cut for us) so we can attempt to make some bird boxes. More news on this will follow after the school fair.

Finally- on the back of winning class of the week last week, this week we won Mrs Malcolm’s peg challenge for the upper school. Pegs are awarded for walking quietly around the school and we managed to win 2 this week. We are hoping our good luck continues next week 🙂

Have a great weekend, stay warm.
