In reading this week we have been learning to offer our own ideas about the story setting. Using our reading books we have been identifying where the story is set and trying to find specific words the author has used to describe the setting. We have also been learning to ask and answer questions to deepen our understanding of what the story is about.
For listening and talking this week we have been having a good chat about verbal and non verbal techniques when engaging with others – eye contact, expression and body language. The children are being encouraged to engage with others in the morning by saying good morning and by using eye contact as often as possible.
In maths we have been learning place value of numbers to 1000 and 10000 for some.
We have started work on this term’s topic, A Bug’s Life, and we have been learning about living and non living things.
In health and well-being we are learning to become more independent. The children are being encouraged to stand in the lines independently – so mums/dads/grannies/grandpas please feel free to leave your child and head off to enjoy your day! The children are also being encouraged to listen carefully to messages to take home and pass on – as the children are now in Primary 4 lots of information will be passed on this way rather than posted on the blog so it would be great if you could encourage your child to share what they know.
