Primary 4
Welcome to our Primary 4 class page where we will be sharing our news and learning with you. We hope you enjoy!

Term 1
Literacy
Children have settled in very well with new class routines in Primary 4. They are enjoying working together again and love the active games we play in class. 
Within Literacy, Primary 4 has started a whole class novel to gain confidence and further develop skills using all reading strategies. Children are working on their personal reading books too and are enjoying the selection of books. This term, in Writing, we will revisit ‘description texts’ and we will expand on our previous knowledge, placing a focus on the features within. We will continue to use our ‘Learning Intentions’ and work together to create a ‘Success Criteria’ to ensure that we include everything through a checklist and traffic light system. We will also be working on ‘self assessment’ and ‘peer assessment’, through two stars and a wish and will be able to use this to assess our own pieces of writing and our peers.  
 
Numeracy
In Numeracy, we are placing a focus on learning our times tables using different strategies so we can improve our recall facts. We are currently working on money and will move on to place value, subtraction, and addition. This term, we will continue to use ‘Number Talks’ in addition and subtraction to enhance mental math skills within this area. We also have lots of fun playing active games through our mental math sessions and love ‘Hit the Button’. This will help us to develop skills and knowledge in multiplication and division.  

Topic
We are very excited this term about our new topic on Houses and Homes. We are looking forward to all the different activities involved in leading our own learning by looking at what we already know and what we would like to learn about. There will be lots of research and group work and we will highlight all different areas from the architect’s design, planning consent to the workmen who are involved in the building work.
