Learning Overview
This week P3/4 have been working very hard on their learning.
Maths
We have continued learning all about money and have been using different strategies to help us calculate total amounts and change. We were showing different ways of making amounts using coins and notes.
We have also been working on time this week. We can tell the time in 15 minute intervals and 5 minute intervals using analogue and digital clocks.
Literacy
We enjoyed a visit to the Library this week to select a new book and the librarian read ‘The Gruffalo’ to us. We love reading in P3/4 and enjoy having opportunities to read our own books as well as having a book read to us at the end of the day.
As it is Robert Burn’s Day this weekend we have focused on Scots language. We enjoyed hearing ‘The Gruffalo’ in Scots and shared lots of our own favourite Scots words. These included ‘bahookie’, ‘mingin’ and ‘tod’. We then had a challenge of sorting Scots words with their meaning.
Writing
In writing this week we wrote an exposition text about ‘Safety on Ships’. We used our learning about ‘The Titanic’ to help us recognise what was very important to keep all of the passengers and crew members on board safe. We know that an exposition text is a one sided argument.
PE
We have continued to develop our gymnastic skills in PE. We have been using some of the equipment to help us do balances and rolls.
Pupil Voice
This week’s lead learners are Brooke and Kaitlyn. They are here to share their learning highlights.
