Another busy week in Primary 4. Read on for more information:

James and Alice – We did some writing about a character. We had to make up a description of the character.

Marcus and Lilly – We have been learning about New York because the family in our novel study go there. We like New York because there are lots of amazing statues and landmarks.

Matthew and Harry – We liked learning and researching about the Empire State Building.

Vanessa and Alan – We were learning about keeping ourselves safe because it is this month’s GIRFEC theme. It is very important to keep ourselves safe.

Chloe, Annayah and Oma – We liked doing maths. We have been rounding numbers to the nearest 10.

If possible please ask your child to round a number to the nearest 10 for extra practice and home learning. E.g. can you round 78 to the nearest 10?

Lennon and Ana – We thought about what had happened in our novel study so far and put the events in to the correct order on a storyboard.

Ahmed and Elenta – We liked doing hockey for PE and doing mindfulness colouring when Miss Ford was reading to us.

Yaroslav, Filip and Ava – We liked doing number talks and it was good when Mrs Heather came to help us with this.

Wojciech – I loved doing rounding in maths because it is very fun.

Maeve and Aaron – We liked learning about the Statue of Liberty because it was really fun to learn lots of facts.

Zoe – I liked doing research on the Kennedy Space Centre in America.

Alishba – I liked learning about the commandments to love God and love your neighbour.

Ryan, Julia and Leo – We liked colouring a heart and putting it on our class altar to show we are making a promise to love our neighbour.

Angelina – I liked learning some new boost words from our novel.

If possible please ask your child about this week’s boost words and what they mean for some extra practice and home learning. The words are: wailed, observation, grumbled, chanted, exploring and suggestion.

Madison and Kayden – We liked using ICT to research facts about places in America.

Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone and welcome back!

We have had a great first week in Primary 4. As you can see we have been busy making our class charter and we have also started our novel study topic ‘My Brother’s Famous Bottom Takes Off!’ by Jeremy Strong.

For your information, our PE days will be Monday and Wednesday.

Have a great weekend!

Miss Ford 🙂

Good morning everyone, hope you have all had a great time in the snow.  Thanks to the children who have sent me fabulous pictures on Dojo, lovely to see such creativity.

Here are some more activities to try out if you want to:

Maths – I have set up a new Sumdog activity all about measurement – feel free to give it a go, will be next week’s homework so a wee head start!

Why not see if an adult fancies doing some baking, you could help to weigh out all the correct ingredients to make sure the mixture is perfect.  I am going to lead by example and make some fairy cakes so I’ll Dojo you all a picture, hopefully they turn out yummy.

Literacy – As Storm Emma is making it’s way to Scotland, why not write a Haiku poem about her.  Write a list of amazing words to describe Storm Emma before trying to create your poem, remember its 3 lines, line one with 5 syllables, line 2 with 7 and line 3 with 5 syllables.  5-7-5.  Challenge – could you include and adverb?

Topic – If you created your Roman character, why not write a story about an adventure that your character has?

Julius Caesar – use your research skills to see if you can find 10 facts about Caesar, you could create a poster to display your finding.

Lent – Continue with your Lent challenges.

Art – Be creative and make something for a gift for your special Mum’s for Mothers day, which is on 11th March.  You could make something using recycled materials or draw/paint a picture.

 

Stay safe in this wild weather, have lots of fun and drink lots of Hot Chocolate!

 

Can’t wait to see you all on Monday and hear about your snowy adventures.
