PPrimary 4B – The Diary Writers

In Primary 4B we have been writing diary entries. We watched a video clip of a girl called Nisha who lived in an Indian village. She told us about her day and we discussed how different it was to a typical day in our life. We then pretended we were Nisha and wrote about her day. We remembered to use “I”, keep the events in sequence and use time connectives. Some brilliant diary entries. Well done everybody. Also in Literacy, we have been learning where to use exclamation marks in sentences. We now know when to use a full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence.
In Numeracy we are continuing our work with higher numbers and have been looking at adding doubles and near doubles. We have also been working out how many vertices, edges and surfaces 3D shapes have. This was also explored in our work with some of the P7’s when we went outside and made 3D shapes out of twigs. Some of them stayed together!! We also used straws to make 3D shapes – some more successful than others.
We have continued our research on our chosen subjects and will do our presentations next week. Really looking forward to seeing and hearing them!
Sorry there’s no photos this week but we took them on the school ipad and as I wasn’t in yesterday couldn’t get them. Lovely to see you all again this week.
