PE

We have learnt dance moves during our PE class.  We also had fun showing off our dance moves during a dance battle.

The P4s had a very busy week.  They have been practicing for their assembly all week and it paid off.   They did a brilliant job at articulating their lines and were very confident at performing.   Well done Primar4s!

The Vikings came to visit Springfield this week as well.   Thursday was an exciting day as the children got to ask questions, explore Viking related artifacts, clothes  and tools.  In addition to this, they also got to see a Viking fishing boat.  What a rich learning experience to be involved in.

For Literacy this week, the P4s have been learning different ways to capture a reader’s attention e.g.  using onomatopoeia, question, definition etc.  They also wrote a fictional story ensuring that all elements of a story is included.

For Numeracy,  the children have learning to work out change from £5 and/ or £10.

 

On behalf of all the Primary 4 class,  I would like to say thank you to all the parents/ families who came to the assembly.   Your support is greatly appreciated! – Miss Durano

School is out, the weather has been quite severe  and most children are bound indoors for long periods. To avoid boredom, I have listed a few activities which may help those little minds stimulated while they are at home.

For Numeracy, the children have been learning to work out change from £5 or £10 depending on child’s ability level.

http://www.doorwayonline.org.uk/timeandmoney/tillwemeet/– change from £5

How about setting up a shop at home as a role play activity?

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=Buy2itemsv4-  change from £1

Two weeks ago, the P4s were revising on their ability to read time.   It would be helpful if they could keep practicing ” telling time” using quarter to/past, half past and o’ clock.

Multiplication games- https://uk.ixl.com/math/year-3/multiplication-tables-for-2-3-4-5-and-10

For Literacy, the children have been exploring persuasive writing.  You could maybe ask your child to write a letter to an imaginary  Viking chief and persuade him/ her to stop their pillaging and colonising ways.

The P4s have also started learning about the features of a newspapaer report.  Some children might  prefer to write a report on the Vikings’s arrival in Lindisfarne.

Have a lovely week everyone!
