Pure brilliant week in Primary 4!

This week has been an exciting week full of hard work and determination.

We began the week with our reflective reading. We used our taskmaps and explored questions which allowed us to really look at the book in depth. We were thinking about some of the words the author used to describe characters and compared the themes and characters in our book to other books we have previously read. To help build our confidence with reading we paired up with the P3/4 and P5/6 class to read to different children. We thought it was great and were able to give formative feedback to each other about our reading.

In Maths this week we continued with our division with remainders. It is quite tricky so we are working very hard with this. We watched videos on class dojo to help with our growth mindset as we want to make sure we keep trying and working at tricky problems and never give up. The videos were great and we look forward to Emoji and Katies adventures in Chapter 4.

We began our new topic this week ‘A Wee Book O Fairytales’! We loved hearing aw aboot wee Slaverie Sam, Johnny the Dowper and Wee Alan! And of course the BIG BAD WOLF!! We even got to take on the roles of some of the characters during our ‘hotseating’ in Drama. We were great at using Scots language to really bring the characters alive!!

We are looking and different functional writing. This week we created instruction for playing SNAP! We had great fun playing Snap and thinking about the steps to play it. At first we said “Snap is easy!!” but when we started writing the steps it was quite challenging but we did a great job with it.

We are continuing to prepare for the Holy Spirit during our Sacramental preperation. This week we learned all about the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. Ask your child to tell you the 9 fruits and what this means for them?

As this was Catholic Education week we had a focus on ‘The Year of Mercy’. We talked all about what mercy means and how we can show someone mercy. This is something we will reflect on throughout the year.

Thank you for reading our weekly blog. Please share a comment or ask us some questions about our learning!

Have a great weekend
