Learning Overview
IDL – We have been learning about the Titanic. We have learned what happened on the Titanic by gathering evidence. The sources which we used were researching using the internet and watching a recount from Eva Hart who was a passenger on board. We learned that these are reliable sources of evidence but we do need to double check when researching online as not everything is true!
Numeracy and Maths – We have been finishing the topic of money by doing word problems, calculating change and number talks linked to money.
Literacy – We have started a new PM writing genre called Exposition. This is a one sided argument. We know you have to have time sequence words.
HWB – We have been doing balance in gymnastics. We have also been working in cooperative groups to achieve a challenge.
Pupil Voice – Our Highlights!
Aiden and Casper are this week’s lead learners. Here are some comments from them:
Aiden – I enjoyed doing research on Titanic. I liked trying to find information on the internet using a laptop.
Casper – I enjoyed doing the Titanic work especially when we were researching and making a poster to share with the class.
Next Steps – Home Learning Opportunities
IDL – Ask your child to share a fact they have learned about the Titanic.
Maths – How may different ways can you use notes and coins to make £10?
Literacy – Think of something you feel strongly about. What could your reasons be if you were writing an exposition about this?
HWB – This month’s GIRFEC theme is Active. Get active this weekend!
Have a great weekend!
Primary 4 and Mrs Brown 🙂
I had a great time in your class on Wednesday afternoon when you were working on your Titanic project. You all worked well in teams to research, create posters and then present your findings to the class. I learned some new facts about the Titanic that were really interesting!
