Numeracy

We revised on symmetry in 2D shapes as well as place value.

We were learning to order and compare numbers.  We also used greater/ lesser than symbol to compare numbers.

Literacy

We were learning to identify verbs in a sentence, we were making inferences (while  reading) and we learnt to create a fact file about Philippines.

IDL and ICT

We used our netbook time to research about Scotland landscape, food and climate.

RME

We were learning about what it means to be a Christian and what Christianity means.

HWB

For PE, we had Quiditch in addition to badminton our badminton practice.

We also learnt about what friendships require in order to maintain  it.

Literacy- I liked learning more about when to use punctuation.  LM

I liked proofreading.  I liked checking the spelling and the punctuation. AL

I learnt a new word- an “archipelago” and it means a group islands.  AL.

Numeracy- Symmetry– I learnt that you have to be very careful when you are drawing (repeating) the patterns. MC

ICT- I was looking for facts about Philippines.  I had to make sure that I spelt words right so I could find lots of facts. RP

RME- I learnt that in Judaism, there is candle called Menorah and it’s made out of pure gold!  They use it to put in front of the door (ark). SM

IDL- I learnt that Philippines definitely has a different landscape from Scotland.  MM

*I found out that Philippines has lots of rain and lots of sun- AS

*I learnt that there are more than 7000 islands in Philippines. EM

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.
