P4A Blog Week Ending 20.12.19
Literacy and English
In literacy this week, we have been focusing on writing a thank you letter to a relative for a Christmas present we are hoping to receive if we are on the ‘nice list’. In grammar we were learning to use commas to show a breath in a sentence and also in a list. In handwriting we did a check up on our spelling, so far this year and wrote a poem by Lewis Caroll who wrote ‘Alice in Wonderland’. We also answered questions on Aesop’s fables ‘ The Tortoise and the Hare’ The moral lesson of the story is that you can be more successful by doing things slowly and steadily than by acting quickly and carelessly.
Numeracy and Mathematics
In Numeracy and Mathematics we have been learning to extend, create and explain the rules for repeating patterns involving shapes, pictures, symbols and number sequences. We created tiling patterns with different 2D shapes. We found lots of examples from our garden patios, bathrooms, kitchens and floors of shops.
Learning across the Curriculum
We have been enjoying lots of Christmas activities this week including our Christmas party on Tuesday which was great fun! We were very proud at the Christmas church service of our choir singers for their beautiful singing and for our reader who read in a loud clear voice. We enjoyed singing along with them and listening to the readings. We loved singing our Christmas carol around the Christmas tree, “All I want for Christmas is you!”
Have a great Christmas holiday!
P4A and Ms McAlpine
