P4 Update- February onwards.

Throughout the school we have been learning to write instructions. We tested out the Primary Seven instructions to see if we could follow them.We attempted to use paper-craft to create a book with only the help of the finished step by step guides. It made us think about how detailed we need to be when we are writing our own instructions.

We have been learning about time. To start off this unit of work we revisited our previous learning and ahd a think about what we wanted to achieve. We discussed that we were keen to explore the local area to look for clocks, take apart clocks to see how they work and to use real bus timetables to learn about time.

We celebrated (belated) world book day. We brought in our favourite stories and presented a talk to the class. We created an art project linked to a story we have been reading together for you to see at parents evening. We created our own mythical creatures to add to a book of Fantastic Beasts.

P4 Term 2 Literacy Homework Master Copy

A new grid for term 2 literacy homework has been sent home. This works in a similar way to the grid in term 1.

One side contains activities that you can use to practise your spelling words for the week. Please write the date that you have completed each activity to ensure all are covered throughout the term.

The reading side of the sheet has changed. This is because in term 2 we focus on comprehension. On a Monday, there will be a chance to choose a book from the school library. Please select 3 questions and answer these in your jotter. Books should be returned on a Thursday.

How are sweat, saliva and tears made? Clara.

How do you learn that your body is allergic to something? Lewis

How come only some people can do backflips, is it something to do with the type of body you have? Maisie.

How come the acid in your stomach can burn through everything but it doesn’t burn your stomach? Alexander.

Why are some people smarter than others? Cameron.

Why does your stomach rumble when you are hungry? Winona.

Are tattoos unhealthy for you? Suffi

This week, we enjoyed learning about the organs in the body. We explored the positions of these and carried out some collaborative research into what they do. Please ask us to share this information with you! Enjoy having a look at some photographs from this week.
