Primary 4 children have been exploring different types of 2D shapes.  Not only did they learn unfamiliar ones, they also got creative in representing them using natural materials.  We spoke about individual shape properties and compared them with each other.

The children were also measuring and estimating the size of each sides of a particular shape.  They used the rulers to support them in finding their accurate measurements.

The rugby session on Thursday was a success.  The children really enjoyed learning to pass the ball to the side. They were also thrilled when they had to snatch rugby tags from each other.  The walk was long but the children soldiered on.

Spelling:  The children were leaning  to spell words with ‘wa’  for ‘wo’ sounds.

Literacy (writing): They wrote about their Halloween experience.  They learnt about paragraph writing, margins and indentation.

For PE , the children practiced skills such as power skipping and heel flicks.  For Music, the children made musical spells.

P3’s had a great Hallowe’en party on Monday!

This week in Literacy we continued our Alien Mission with Big Writing adventures by writing a report to Aliens about how Humans lived, what they ate, what they did and what they were like. We were listening to lots of stories in Scots language e.g. the Gruffalo’s Wean, Billionaire Bairn and Fairy Stories including Wee Reid Riding Hood! In French we learned to say the months and practised with a ball game. If we landed on ‘aout’ we were ‘oot!’

In Numeracy we learned to estimate the length of objects in the classroom and then measure them. We did Hallowe’en activities to find a pumpkin using odd and even numbers.

On Thursday we went to the rugby club and when we went back to school we went on the trim trail. At rugby we wore belts and ribbons and ran fast.

Hope you have a good weekend!
