This weeks learning…

This week in primary four we have been concentrating on three curriculum areas. Within these areas I have set tasks linked to targets and hopefully the children have managed to successfully achieve some of these targets.

In maths we have been learning about length. We have been estimating and measuring in centimetres and for some children in non-standard measurements. We have also had a go at converting millimetres to centimetres. In numeracy we have also been working on our times tables through TT rock stars.

In literacy we have all managed to access Google hangouts and had the chance to take turns to talk and listen. As the weeks progress and the lockdown continues it’s important that we are able to listen carefully and to have conversations with our friends through Hangouts. Well done to everybody for managing this. In writing this week I set the task of an imaginative story, revising all last term’s targets – accurate punctuation, and exciting story starter, interesting openers to our sentences and a clear logical story set out in three paragraphs. We will continue to revise these targets over the coming weeks.We have also been learning to spell the long u sound in our spelling words.

In health and well-being we have been thinking about our emotions and how we are coping in these difficult times.

Well done to everybody for making an amazing start on Google classroom and our online learning. It’s been a huge learning experience for me too, and I know I have made a few mistakes here and there! All we can continue to do is try our best! Well done everybody! Have a well deserved, relaxing weekend.
