Primary 4 have been learning all about the phases of the moon this week. We listened to a great song to help us remember what they were. We loved dancing and singing to the song. We learned that the moon shines brightly because of the reflection of the sun and depending on the position of the moon at certain times of the month we see different shapes reflecting. We now know that waning means the moon is getting smaller and waxing means it is getting bigger.
This week in Maths we have been revising rounding numbers to the nearest 10. We are getting very confident with this concept of maths through playing games in the active maths area. We had great fun. We have started multiplication this week. We are finding it a little tricky so we are going to really try hard to revise our times tables in the classroom, playground, at home and even in the car. Mrs Wassell thinks we will be “Whizz Kids” at this in no time.
We wrote fantastic imaginative stories this week called “The Day I Visited The Moon!”. Mrs Wassell thought they were all AMAZING! She is having a tricky job this week choosing our star writers. We can’t wait to share them with you Mrs Purdie. You will be blown away! We have great imaginations in P4!!
Sounds like an interesting topic! Beth loved writing her story about visiting the moon.
Very fascinating topic! Taylor has been on the computer creating lots more power points all weekend! Love that shes wanting to carry on with what shes learnt in school as its so enjoyable and catches their attention! Great work!!
