Hello everyone, and welcome back to part 2 of term 1!

Thank you for your efforts in homework last term. Homework will be issued on Mondays and is expected back on Thursdays.

This week our spelling pattern is -ace. Your child should have copied these down in their homework jotters, but here they are:

ace

brace

face

grace

lace

race

pace

place

trace

space

mace

Please practice them using activities from the grid below. Pick 2 activities.

Your maths homework is a revision task based upon learning we did in part 1 of term 1. Please complete the worksheet that has been sent home. If you would like an additional challenge then you can write down next to your answers what time it would be if it was quarter of an hour before or later.

Please enjoy reading your chosen book from the book box and return next Monday.

Thank you,

Mrs Rush

On Friday some children in Primary 4 chose to share their poems at assembly. They showed great confidence standing up in front of the whole school and sharing their work. Their poems are fabulous and hopefully some P4 parents/carers will be able to come along to class on Friday 3rd November 9:10-9:45 to hear them then too.

Well done!

Mrs Rush

Primary 4 have been practising group work skills. Recently, they were given bamboo sticks, chalk, pompoms, and coloured mats and in small groups they were tasked with creating a PE game. Once they had created their games, they got the chance to play and practise, then they taught their game to the rest of the class. Everyone got the opportunity to play everybody else’s game. The children were using and improving their listening, talking, PE, creativity, cooperative and social skills!

As part of maths week, P4 were lucky enough to visit the Museum on the Mound, to learn all about money.

We learned about how money used to be stored in banks, what items were used as forms of currency in the past, as well as in other cultures, and we created our own banknotes. The children were all very interested and asked lots of great questions.

As part of our literacy topic of Poetry, we visited the Poetry library on National Poetry Day! (5.10.23)

We listened to poems in English and Scots language, and got the chance to write our own animal poems in the shape of the animal. They were fantastic!
