We are all exhausted after a busy week full of hard work and fun in P4.
We are improving every week during our Ceilidh dancing and Mr McCurdy has been blown away by our efforts. He is amazed at how quickly we pick up the dances and has even taught us dances that he would usually only teach to P7!!!!
In Maths, we have been learning about money and making total amounts. Some of our favourite activities have been making a shopping list within a budget to work out what we could buy for children in Africa, using the money loop cards and timing ourselves to try and improve each time and solving money word problems. We had visitors to our school who joined us during our money lesson and Mr Conway was very impressed with our focus, concentration and the ability to share our number strategies.
We wrote a story about ‘The Night Before Christmas’ this week for our writing assessment. We included everything we have been learning about so far, including adjectives, similes, description of the setting and onomatopoeia.
As part of our science topic, we have been learning about forces. We went on a magnetic object hunt in the classroom and in the garden and had to make predictions to decide whether we thought it would be magnetic or not. Some of us were very surprised with our findings.
Have a great Weekend, P4 and Miss Diamond.
Well done P4. I’ve also noticed a big difference in your efforts and concentration this term. I was so happy to invite Charlie from your class for hot chocolate this week. Well done, Charlie!
Great to see you taking your learning outdoors this week too.
Your writing sounds very impressive! Maybe Miss Diamond could send a few star writers to my office this week to share their learning?
Another busy week in P4! Ryan is really enjoying the electricity topic including the magnetic hunt.
Lauren is loving the Scottish dancing. Her and her friends have been practising after school xx
