Welcome to our Primary 4 class page where we will be sharing our news and learning with you. We hope you enjoy!
I would like to welcome your children to P4 and we are looking forward to having a busy and fun year.
Literacy
Literacy- In Term3 we will be learning about the phoneme oe and oo and the different representations of these sounds. We will also be learning about the spelling rule y as in i,, and silent e in words like true. We will also continue to learn the spelling of difficult words e g the months of the year. We will be focussing on reading and spelling trickier common words through our new reading books and using our phonics skills to decode more difficult vocabulary. We will be revising our handwriting formation and we will be working on different joins with a view to joining our letters in our writing. In Term 3 we will be working on Narrative writing and procedure. We will continue to revise grammar to help us in our written work and reinforce the use of correct punctuation. We will also be working on the reading strategies of main idea and prediction during our reading comprehension and class novels.
Numeracy
Numeracy- In Primary 4 in Term 3 we will be using place value to be able to count numbers up to 10,000 and be able to sequence, recognise and order them. We will also be working on division using our tables’ knowledge and will continue to practise our tables up to the 9 times table. We will also be learning about 2D and 3D shapes and their properties and angles.
Health and Wellbeing
Health and Wellbeing- In P.E we will be covering the areas of gymnastics and learning how to play the game of badminton correctly. We will be covering different skills which result in the children able to play matches against each other. In Health we will be learning about healthy eating and hopefully getting the chance to prepare and eat some healthy foods. We will also be going back over the red and yellow cogs in our Emotion works lessons.
Topic
Topic- In social subjects we will be learning about “The Egyptians” which I am sure will be an interesting and exciting topic. It is a favourite of mine and I know the children will enjoy learning about the history of the country and the stories about the Gods as well. We hope to build some Egyptian models as part of our S T E M work.

Literacy – P4 will be focusing on the phonemes ae and ee in Term1 and the different ways on making these sounds. They will continue the reading texts and be introduced to different reading strategies through the class book study and their reading texts. We will be working on description in our storywriting and introducing joins for handwriting.
Numeracy- We will be revising our times tables before learning the 6, 7,8 and 9. We will be learning these mentally and as written sums. We will also be adding up to 100 in Term 1 both horizontally and vertically. We will also be continuing with our Numbertalks to help us with our mental numeracy strategies. We will be looking at different problem solving activities and working closely with our peers to find solutions.
Topic- we will be reading the book “Charlie and the chocolate factory” as a book study in Term 1 and linking it to our Literacy. We will be looking at the characters and have some fun chocolate based activities linking to Science and Food and Technology.
