We had a wonderful wintery week in P4!
We have introduced money in maths this week where we have been looking at using the ‘£’ and ‘p’ sign. We are looking forward to learning more about amounts, values and change.
In PE we have been enjoying learning our Scottish Dancing. We now know 6 dances and are ready to Ceilidh dance at New Year!
In story writing, we were using adjectives and similes to create a winter setting. Hannah described the trees as being ‘once emerald green and now tall and bare.’ Ailie used a simile to describe the snow as being ‘like a soft, white marshmallow.’ Adrin used his senses to help create the setting ‘when he stepped outside, he heard the grass crunching beneath his feet.’ Joseph blew everyones socks off with his excellent writing this week!
In art, we have been exploring shade and tone using paint, charcoal, tissue paper and pencils. We experimented with the colours on our tone sheet and will continue to develop these skills in our next art lesson. Keep your eyes peeled!
In topic, we made our very own circuits. We had to use a battery, a switch, a light bulb and multiple wires. We had a discussion about what materials would work as a conductor and complete the circuit.
We got right into the festive spirit when we made a very ‘professional’ recording of our Christmas song ‘That First Christmas Day’. Our debut single will be released on Friday 2nd Dec at our school Christmas fayre. This should not be missed!
Have a good weekend :)!
