Primary 3/4
Blog Week Beginning 9.4.18
Dear All
This week in literacy we did an imaginative story about farming. We learned that a homophone is a word that has different meanings or spellings, for example, park or sea and see. We learned the ‘ei’ and the ‘eigh’ sounds. We did a joined up handwriting assessment. We choose a new library book.
In French we watched videos about French culture. We found out that Eiffel tower is in Paris. We found out that the French like different foods from us like baguettes, croissants, pain au chocolate, snails and frogs legs! The French weather is warmer than ours but they can have worse bad weather than us. . We learned about the French revolution. The French flag is blue, white and red which represent Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.
In numeracy we learned our times tables with fidget spinners, saying our tables until the fidget spinner stopped. We were learning the 2, 4, 10 and 100 times tables. We learned that for the 10 times table we put 1 zero at the end and 2 zeros for multiplying by 100. We learned that the 2 x table is the same as doubling.
In health and wellbeing we were learning about fitness. We ran, hopped and star jumped along the lines and we did, skipping, hula hooping and bouncing ball races. We played dodgeball.
In learning across the curriculum we started learning about farming. We learned how sheep gave birth. We learned about the commonwealth games. We learned that all the continents in the world start and end with the same vowel. We learned the claw action for ‘la’ in NYCOS and we learned about the lines and spaces in the stave. We also did a fun game to match our new song.
What a busy week!
Have a good weekend!
