Hello Primary 4,

Your homework this week is to practise your spelling words and complete 3 mental agility activities (see Ms Brunner’s blog post on the P4 page).

You have copied your spelling words into your homework books already. Please select 3 spelling activities from the grid below and complete in your homework jotter:

Your spelling words focus on the ‘ay’ sound, as in play.

The focus words are:

•day

•may

•say

•pay

•bay

•lay

•ray

•way

•hay

•jay

•May

We thought of lots more ‘ay’ words in class too.

Please return homework jotters on Thursday 5th October.

We will change our book box books on Mondays, so please bring your books in then.

Hi and welcome to the second section of our MENTAL AGILITY rainbow this term!

Until Christmas our school will focus on ADDITION and SUBTRACTION! Please find attached activities children work on in class. We would really appreciate your support in practising them at home too!

Most importantly learners have many opportunities to experience number in lots of contexts and with all their senses. Here are some examples:

Rolling a die, identifying the number and carrying out actions that many times such as jumping or clapping.

Concrete materials are vital at this stage! Looking, touching, moving and counting objects is super practice!

It is very important to match numbers and items and count forwards and backwards starting from different numbers, not always from 1.

Looking at 2 collections and counting to see how many there are altogether.

Lots of songs and games are a fun way to gain confidence!

Hello everyone,

It was so nice to have most of the class back in this morning. I am so proud of those who took time to complete the home learning tasks. Well done to everyone’s hard work!

Hopefully in the coming week, we will see everyone back into class and we can continue to learn together. Weekly home learning will also be sent home on Monday to be returned on Thursday. It would be much appreciated if parents and carers could support your child/children with this. Many thanks!

Have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday!

Recently, Primary 4 got the opportunity to attend a “Roman Explorer” workshop at the Museum of Scotland. They had a tour around the Early People Gallery, exploring Roman objects and investigating what they revealed about life in a Roman home.

Welcome back everyone! 🙂

The chilli indication will help you to choose your level of difficulty.

Lots of practice on this will help our learners to become confident and gain a good understanding of number!

We would really appreciate your support and regular revision at home too.
