This Week’s Learning!

Mrs. McCormick

In literacy this week we have continued to work on inference – we have used both pictures and texts and tried to read between the lines and understand what is going on. In writing we have been making our own invitations.

In numeracy and maths this week we have continued with multiplication – learning our tables, 2/3 digit multiplication – mentally and the standard written method. We have also been continuing our topic of time.

In expressive arts we have been research the work of famous artists and trying to create our own masterpiece using a variety of media and methods.

In science we have been thinking about electricity safety and designing some eye-catching safety posters.

This Week’s Learning

Mrs. McCormick

Another busy week in Primary 4! In literacy this week we have been learning about literal and inferential questions. We have also been working very hard to learn our common word spelling. Class spelling will resume next week. In writing we have been leaning to write invitations.

In maths this week we have been working very hard to learn our times tables. Any extra work that can be done on times tables over the weekend would be much appreciated!

In science this week we had lots of fun learning to build circuits. We all managed to connect a bulb, buzzer and fan. We have also investigated safety around electricity.

Other learning this week included logging on chromebooks and accessing the internet – still a tricky job for some, coding with the SSPCA and having our last swimming lesson.
