P4 Learn It! Log It! Blog It!

P4hs have been very busy making and decorating cake pops to sell at the Christmas Fayre as part of our Enterprise project.  It was so much fun and we sold every last one at the Christmas Fayre last Friday.  A big thank you to everyone who bought a cake pop.

We also made our Christmas banner with a gingerbread house theme.  We each made a snowflake and we put a photograph of ourselves on our snowflakes!

We have finished our Egyptians topic which we all enjoyed and we are now focusing on our Farm to Fork topic.

In writing, we have been focusing on poetry and we wrote some amazing shape poems and acrostic poems. To help us with writing poems we learned about alliteration, similes and metaphors and lastly onomatopoeias, WOW!

In PE we were learning to play bench ball as we attended a Bench ball Festival at Armadale Community Centre with Southdale Primary and Blackridge Primary.  We really enjoyed our bench ball festival and scored lots of goals.

In RME we have been learning about different bible stories and this week we focused on the Nativity story.

We have also been learning the words for our favourite pets and animals in French.

Our class novel is The Christmasaurus and the Winter Witch which we are hoping to finish before we break up for Christmas.

We have been learning more about our Ancient Egypt topic. We particularly enjoyed learning about the discovery of Tutankhamun. We made dioramas which showed the tomb and what was found inside it!

In Literacy we have been writing narrative stories. We have written spooky stories and we have written a fairytale but in an Egyptian setting. We have also been working hard to improve our spelling.

In Maths we have started a new topic measure which we have used meter sticks and scales to help us measure different things.

In Numeracy we started a new topic on Money. We have been learning how to work out change and have even started up a new class shop!

Primary 4 had a great end to Term 1 and are very excited to learn lots of new things during Term 2.

In literacy we have began looking at how to write a narrative. We have already planned and written one which was based on a well-known fairy tale but with an Egyptian twist! We really enjoyed this and can’t wait to develop our writing more.

In numeracy we have been using different strategies to help us with addition and subtraction. We have become much more confident in using the column method. This term we will be developing our knowledge of money and will continue to use different strategies to help us. In Maths, we will be learning about measure.

We are now rounding off our Egyptians topic before starting a new, exciting topic around food chains and “Farm to Fork”.
