Welcome to P4!
In P4 we study many fun and exciting topics, these include: Myths, Legends and Ancient Greece, Pirates and Green Fingers. We enjoy learning through our Literacy and Numeracy work, collaborating in groups on ICT tasks, learning outdoors and doing lots of experimenting and investigating.
Watch out for us here, on Seesaw and on the school’s Facebook page.
Term 3 in P4!
We really enjoyed meeting the P4 pupils from Macosquin and St Eoghans Primary Schools as part of our Shared Education programme last term. The children built lovely friendships while learning about inclusion, similarities, peace and reconciliation. We also had great fun taking part in our P4/5 school show, “You Are Special”, which was enjoyed by everyone involved.
This term, our World Around Us topic is ‘Green Fingers’. The children have already been very engaged and are enjoying learning about how to care for plants, pollination, germination and the importance of looking after our environment. In Activity‑Based Learning, we will take part in a range of hands‑on activities including garden centre role‑play, planting our own flowers and plants, creating arts and crafts, and much more.
In Literacy, we will continue to follow the Sounds‑Write programme to develop our phonics and spelling skills. We will also focus on improving punctuation and grammar. Our class novel this term is Mr Skip, which we will use alongside our topic work to support creative writing and comprehension activities.
In Numeracy, we have learned our 2, 5 and 10 times tables and division facts, and we will now move on to the 3 and 4 times tables. We will further develop our understanding of time by reading analogue clocks in 5‑minute intervals, as well as working on place value and 3‑digit addition and subtraction. The children will also learn more about symmetry and continue developing their problem‑solving skills.
In Music, we will continue learning to play the recorder. We are also very much looking forward to getting outdoors more often to play and learn during the summer term. We are looking forward to sports day and celebration day which will also take place in the final half term.
I will keep you updated through Seesaw but if you have any concerns or queries, please feel free to send me a message, give me a call or contact me by email, hmiller236@c2ken.net.
