P4 Class have been busy creating pieces of art for our desert display. Through the ‘desert topic’, children were been able to practice their research, note taking and computer skills. This week, individual children were asked to find and write about chosen desert animal. The task also included the use of netbooks to do their research.

H is very proud to be this week’s autumn writing winner. Well done H for using adjectives and finding synonyms using the thesaurus! You can see H poem propped up the star writers wall!

A recap on what we have been up to in P4

Last Week…

Some children presented their own interpretation of the word “bullying”. They also gave their own resolution to conflict or bullying behavior.

We enjoyed a treasure hunt type activity which involved teamwork. Each group were given a list of sums and then had to hunt for the right answers which Miss Durano hid around the classroom.

This week, even though it was a very short, we have been able to carry out several important exercises.

We had our spelling test which most of us did competently!

We started learning how to subtract two digit numbers too. This was really quite challenging for many of us, so we will be doing more of this in the coming week.

We have been able to focus much better on our reading groups this week. Miss Durano is very proud of us for doing brilliantly at staying on task, within our group as well as independently.

Well, we had several more learning experiences this week but we will have to stop here for now. Have a great weekend everyone!

P4 class had a fantastic week!

We started the week by exploring the use of punctuation, margin and indentation. We also studied sentence and paragraph construction.

We had our first Tae Bo session on Tuesday which was quite challenging but also enjoyable.

We used our netbook time to search for facts about our “deserts” topic. We found many interesting information about animals, people, climate etc.

We had two math competitions throughout the week. The first number bonds competition winners were E and H. The second one was won by R . It was a lot of fun!

P4 explorations

The book festival was a success on Tuesday. Thank you to our wonderful parent helpers who kept the children safe, engaged and happy. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Since the talk during the book festival included conversations about friends, Miss Durano extended this in class. We wrote stories about our friend/s, we created visual representations, and presented these in class.

We had lots of fun Storytelling with multiplication aspects in it. It was little tricky but we liked the challenge.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!!!
