What a busy week we have had in Primary 4! The children have come back full of enthusiasm and are raring to get busy with their learning!
In Literacy we have been working on lots of different targets. Firstly we have been learning to make connections with our reading books – these involve text to self, text to text and text to world connections. Making connections gives the children a deeper understanding of the books they are reading. In writing we have been using common conjunctions to join two sentences together. We spent some time today writing an amazing Halloween story where we tried hard to use conjunctions, paragraphs, amazing vocabulary and correct punctuation.
In numeracy we have all been working on addition, either with 2 or 3 digit numbers. All addition that we are doing at the moment is mental addition and the children are learning different strategies to do the sums in their heads.
In PE we have been doing gymnastics – balancing by ourselves and with partners, and different kinds of jumps and rolls.
In IDL we have been learning what plants need in order to grow and develop.
This week we also started our new class novel “The Boy in the Dress” which is already proving to be very thought provoking!
