We are so happy to be in Primary 4 and we are looking forward to all the fun things we will be doing this year!

In literacy, we have been learning how to fully answer literal questions in comprehension. We have been reminded to use capital letters and full stops in grammar. We have linked our writing to our class novel, ‘The Wild Robot’, and have created our own robot adventures which we are turning into books.

In numeracy, we have revised place value with 3 and 4 digit numbers!  We have also completed work on estimation and rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000.  Our problem solving was a difficult challenge this week, but we all used different strategies to succeed in solving the problem!

We had lots of fun building our own 3-D robots and designing an island for them to live on.  We looked at Scottish islands for inspiration and learned about land use, solar energy and mapping.

We look forward to updating you with our learning every fortnight and we would love you to leave a comment for us to read in class.
