P4 Weekly Update!

What a busy week we have had in Primary 4!

In reading, we have been looking at inference questions because we were finding this tricky! We have learned that we need to use the information we are given from a photograph or a text to make sensible suggestions when giving answers.  We enjoyed using the comprehension cubes during reading.

We thoroughly enjoyed writing this week where we were writing a recipe for our Viking Oatcakes. We learned all about the important features that have to be used when writing instructions.

Ailie – “I learned how to lay it out and put a list of the ingredients and the equipment at the top.”

Brooke – “We had to use time conjunctions like first, next and finally.”

Evie – “I learned that we had to use bossy words to explain the method. Some of the bossy words I used were; mixed, pour and stir.”

In maths, we have been developing our understanding of fractions! We have been revising fractions of shapes and learning about fractions of a set, fractions on a number line and equivalent fractions.

Jan – “I know that if I am stuck with a fraction I can go back and use my division knowledge to help me!”

In RE this week, we have continued preparing for our First Holy Communion.  We were remembering the importance of Sunday being a day of rest and a time where we reflect on our faith. We have been revising the prayers we learned for our reconciliation and discussing the importance of going to confession.

As we are coming to the end of our Viking topic, we worked collaboratively to create posters to show all that we have learned about Vikings! Some of our favourite facts have been:

“Vikings used to play piggy in the middle with bear skins.” – Haseeb

“Vikings were very active in the slave trade.” – Kacper

“Vikings ate pork, fish, berries and oats.” – Hannah

“On the front of a Viking Longboat there is a figure head which represents a spiritual Viking God!” – Adrin.

We enjoyed sharing some of our Topic homework with our classmates. They were all super! Models, posters, PowerPoints and props! Great effort P4!

We hope you have a nice weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to all of our fabulous Mums!
