Welcome to our Primary 4 class page where we will be sharing our news and learning with you. We hope you enjoy!
Term 2
Primary 4 continue to work hard and are engaging well across all areas of learning.
Literacy
Primary 4 have been working hard on information reports this term. This has involved researching different topics and organising the information in to the correct structure with the correct vocabulary. As we approach Christmas we will be using the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a basis for our reading and writing. The description of all of the wonderful characters, settings and main themes running through the book always makes for excellent discussions and a great stimulus for writing. We have been enjoying our school library and having time for ‘reading for enjoyment’.
Numeracy
The children have been working hard on their place value and numbers to 10,000. They have shown that they are able to read and write their numbers with confidence. It has been great to see the children using their number talks strategies and written strategies to add and subtract. They have been working hard at reading word questions and identifying what the question requires. This term the children will also study 2D and 3D shapes and their properties. This will involves identifying the shapes and stating how many vertices, edges and faces they each have. We have made a great start at multiplication and it is great to see the children’s quick recall of times tables facts.
HWB
As the Rights Respecting Committee within the school, we have been thinking about how fortunate we are to have farmers in the UK and how wonderful it is to have fresh produce easily available to us. We know that we have the right to nutritious food and clean water and we know that some children around the world do not have this.
We will be continuing our work this year with our Emotion Works programme. We will be thinking about how our emotions can show themselves physically and strategies for how to deal with these.
Other
Primary 4 have been working hard in French and they have been asking and answering some basic questions to form a short conversation. We will be working on weather phrases this term and looking at how Christmas is celebrated in France.
