This week was a fun one for primary 4. In numeracy, we continued on with using compensation for an addition strategy when adding 11 and 21. The children have been working hard on it and grasping the idea well.
We had a look at our rights this week which we linked with black history month. Our focus was on articles 2 and 30 and we made some lovely black history month awareness posters. It Primary 4s turn to decorate the RRSA wall in the hall this month so these will be contributing to that.
In PE we have been focussing on basketball, on Tuesday our main focus was passing and we had a competition to see who had the best bounce pass. On Thursday we had a go at shooting the basketball and a few of the class had excellent aim – we even got some baskets. We then did a drill where we combined all of the passing, dribbling and shooting skills we have been working on.
For our topic we finished up Scottish inventors with looking at Charles Rennie Mackintosh and exploring his many achievements. We had split opinions on whether we liked his work or not in the class however a lot of the class enjoyed looking at his artwork and admired his architecture.
We learned how to use PowerPoint in our Technology this week and wrote a presentation ‘all about me’.
Our RE focus this week was Gods presence and love and how we know God is around us. We read the book ‘Shhh… God is in the silence’ and it talked about how God is always with us and showing his love for us.
Jayden’s favourite part of the week this week was today when he got to sit with Flynn as his reward for being the secret student last week. He had lots of fun and loves talking to his friends.
Anthony’s favourite part of the week this week was learning about adding 11 and 21 in maths. he enjoys maths and thought the challenge was good.
Aaeryn-Leigh’s favourite part of the week this week was learning about Charles Rennie Mackintosh and looking at pictures of his artwork.
