This week, primary 4 have had a very busy week. In numeracy we have been learning how to estimate using interactive games on the smart board and using the whiteboard. We also started to have a look at adding 9 using the trick add 10 takeaway 1. Some of the the boys sat in the area doing their maths work on Thursday and had so much fun they stayed out there working whilst eating their snack, they said it was one of their top 10 days of primary school!

In literacy, the children have been writing the instructions for the Malteser traybake they made last week, we focussed on the ‘ea’ sound this week in our spelling, and have been reading our books some more. The children have been working really hard on using verbs and time conjunctions to enhance their instructional writing, some of the children even asked for their work to be photocopied so they can make it over the holidays!

For primary 4’s Scottish inventors topic, we have been learning how to research John Logie Baird and Alexander Fleming. We started to look at Steven Browns art, we coloured in our own McCoos, using line and colour to do this. The children even named them and came up with some very unique names!

Nicolas’ highlight of the week this week was making the McCoos, he enjoys art and liked using all of the different colours to create the shaggy hair.

Olek’s highlight of the week this week was everything! He had a great week at school this week.

Ksawery’s highlight of the week was sitting outside playing Sumdog during technology with our s4 helpers on work experience.

Scott’s highlight of the week was everything just the same as Olek! He thought the week was fab.

Ava’s highlight of the week this week was maths when we did our times tables, she loved watching everyone compete with each other to get the fastest time.

Our hot chocolate winner this week is Scott.

Our secret student winner this week is Jayden. Well done boys.

I hope you all have a fun and restful October week !
