Hi everyone,

This week we did badminton for P.E. and then we learned to round numbers to the nearest 10 and 100 and we picked our topic- Philippines.

For literacy were writing a setting for a story.

Written by RP

Focus for each curriculum area are as follows;

• HWB- being resilient and having a growth mindset.  Children have been learning about the importance of “making mistakes” as part of individual person’s learning journey.
• Literacy- spelling words with -ass, -u-e and ch.  Children also learnt to peer assess written work and up level their own text.
• Reading- children have been learning to read between the lines/ making inference.
• RME- we discussed what  Christianity means as a belief system.
• ICT-  we used the world wide web as a tool to search for historical people from Linlithgow.
• Art- Children are currently working on creating a poster for the opening of the new museum here in Linlithgow.  The P4s are going to send their entries for the “Visiting the Museum” poster making competition.
• Numeracy- we focused on rounding numbers to the nearest 10 or 100, symmetry in shapes as well as identifying the line(s) of symmetry in various shapes.
• Mental math focus- adding 2 digit  and 1 digit number

Hope you have lovely weekend everyone!

 

 

Guess who got class of the week? You guessed right, it’s our very own P4 class!  The P4 children were rewarded an extra 10 minutes of golden time.

This week the children have been busy writing character profiles and setting the scene for their story writing task.

For numeracy, the class did revision work on multiplication, understanding of place value as well as symmetry.

For ICT, the children completed an online survey relating to their health and well-being.

We started using “5 point scale” for emotional regulation.   This will hopefully promote social and  emotional literacy.

 

 

This week we welcomed everyone back to school.  We had a lovely time getting to know each other through games such as charades and question time. We familiarized ourselves with the classroom routine and we are proud to say that we are great at following through with.
