Learning Overview from Primary 3/4
Primary 3/4 have chosen to share the following learning from this week!
In Literacy we have been improving our accuracy and understanding at using their, there and they’re.
We also wrote Haiku poems about Spring and they had to have a syllable rhythm of 5, 7, 5.
In Maths we were using what we have learned so far to convert digital times to analogue times and vice versa.
For example
‘quarter to one would be 12.45’
‘half past six would be 6.30’
HWB
In PE we have been learning some of the rules for Basketball matches eg ‘bouncing the ball when running’ and ‘taking two steps with the ball in your hand’
As a class, most of Primary 3/4 tried hard to keep running for the whole of the Daily Mile.
‘We kept encouraging each other to keep going and that helped us’
Pupil Voice – Our Highlights…
We practised our times tables. We had to make sure we had the correct answers so we could complete our coloured mosaics properly. It was fun.
We are very proud at how hard we worked and focused when completing our SNSAs as well.
Home Learning Opportunity
This idea of creating cloze sentences is a good one! Make some sentences with spaces for words. Someone in your family has to decide which words will fit so that the sentences still make sense.
Learning Overview
Primary 4 definitely impressed me with their positive attitude to learning and enthusiasm for all tasks. Thank you for a lovely few days!
In Literacy this week part of our focus has been on self-editing. We had to fix sentences which had spelling mistakes, no capital letters and no full stops. With our partner, we used our dictionary skills to help us find the correct spellings for the tricky and unfamiliar words. Some of the words were long but we didn’t give up and managed it!
In Maths we continued to develop our understanding of Time. Building on what we know already about o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past we have been converting digital times to analogue times and vice versa.
For example,
‘quarter to 12’ would be ’11:45’
‘quarter past 3’ would be ‘3:15’
‘twelve o’clock’ would be ’12:00’
Time can be tricky but reading, writing and drawing the different times has helped us. We also really enjoyed competing with each other to win Time Bingo!
In Number Talks, our focus was to identify and explain different strategies to solve two step addition and subtraction word problems. Mrs Scott thought our strategies were very detailed and clear!
HWB
In PE this week we have been working in pairs to develop our Basketball technique at performing chest and bounce passes. We have also used B.E.E.F. to help us.
B – maintaining balance
E – focusing our eyes on the target
E – positioning our elbows properly
F – following through with stable hand and elbow movements
We all contributed to a valuable discussion about ‘Peace’ and what it means to us. Some of our ideas were –
‘Peace is important because it helps us be calm’
‘Peace is important because it means no-one is fighting’
‘Peace is important because it means people can work things out’
‘Peace is important because it means we can take time out when we need it’
Our Highlights…..
*We worked very hard on our SNSA tasks and liked accessing the different activities on the netbooks.
*We loved using the Kapla blocks to build amazing structures together eg a shop, a bridge, tall towers with lots of different levels.
*We also really liked creating face sculptures using 3D paper sculpture techniques. If a sculpture is in the round then it can stand on its own and be seen from all sides. If a sculpture is in relief it is attached to a background and can’t really be seen from the back. Some of us created animal faces and others created faces simply from our imagination!

It would be fun at home to make more sculptures from paper. We liked being creative!

Mrs Scott and Primary 4
It has been a very different week this week. The children have all had lots of questions and have all done their very best to carry on with their learning. We have worked hard to stay positive and to try and keep everyone in our school family positive too!

Home Learning
Please ensure that your child has access to Glow at home. They should all know how to access their emails and from there can access Teams, OneNote etc.
I will update the Teams page on Monday with learning for next week. Pupils can message me on teams or send an email if they need anything.
Have a great weekend, spend time as a family, stay safe and remember to WASH YOUR HANDS!!
