P4 Weekly News!

Learning Overview

Maths – We have been learning how to tell the time. On Monday we learned about o’clock and half past, on Tuesday we learned about quarter past and quarter to, on Thursday we learned about 5 past, 10 past, 20 past and 25 past and today we learned about 25 to, 20 to, 10 to and 5 to. Now we know all the 5 minute intervals around the analogue clock.

Literacy – We did an Explanation writing assessment. In an explanation you explain how to do something. We were explaining rules to stop germs from spreading. This links with the Coronavirus and how best to keep ourselves healthy. We included: build your immune system, wash your hand regularly and keep germs contained.

IDL – We have been preparing for our Titanic showcase by gathering together all our learning and presenting this in groups. We have also been learning a Titanic song.

HWB – We have been learning about Skipper and how to be resilient. We made a coping strategies wheel showing drawings and words about how to keep yourself calm if you are feeling stressed, sad, angry or frustrated.

Mark – I enjoyed doing maths. I learned how to tell the time using minutes past and minutes to.

HWB – Make sure you wash your hands regularly over the weekend. Use the video below which we used for our writing to help you remember all the areas of your hands to wash. You can also try singing ‘Happy Birthday’ twice as you do this!
