P3/4 Blog WE 4.5.18

In literacy this week we learned to proof read and rewrote a story about a farm. We corrected capital letters, commas, exclamation marks, full stops, speech marks and spelling. We learned to write words with the silent ‘c’ like science. We added more detail to discussion writing we had written on whether we should use as much as 75% of land for farming. We did a spelling test on ‘ai’, ‘air’ and ‘ea’ words.

In numeracy we learned how to set out formal division with brackets. We used our times tables to write out our multiplication and division in a line with the division in brackets.

In health and wellbeing, in PE we did relay races to work as a team and improve our fitness. We did circuits including mini tennis to keep our heart warm. We also played King of the Ring to keep our ball within the lines. We also walked a mile.

In learning across the curriculum we did science with Mrs Begarnie. We learned about electricity and we made circuits with lightbulbs, buzzers, wires, propellers and motors. We learned that electricity can flow in a circle or parallel. We designed electric models and made sure the circuits worked. We wrote facts about electricity and words about electricity like electrons, component, circuit and pylons.

Charlie from P7’s mum brought in a tractor, a lamb and chickens. They were free range chickens and had a wander round! The lamb was fluffy and cute. It was one month old. The tractor was a red Massey. It was massive. The wheels were very big. Charlie who is a farmer did a farming presentation with James from P7 who is also a farmer. They told us about breeds of sheep and cows, buffalo and deer. They told us about what produce came from different animals. We learned about sheepdogs and different commands they could be given so they knew what to do .After that we chose an animal and wrote details about what they looked like, where they lived, what they produced, what they ate and a funny fact.

We went to our committees. In pupil council we are organising a Disney dress down day. In JRSO we are designing a banner for being safer around school and parent’s letter to organise a Park and Stride. In sports we were making cards to say thank you. In health and wellbeing we were designing a cyber bullying poster. In digital leaders we were looking at using mobiles effectively and safely.

Have a good weekend!
