What a brilliant first week back after our holidays! P4A have settled back into our routine and are excited for the learning that is to come.
Here are some comments from the children all about our learning about our favourite lessons this week…
‘My favourite lesson this week was our ‘Think, Puzzle, Explore’ where we were planning our new topic which is Mary Queen of Scots. The topic sounds really interesting and I have lots of questions i’d like to find out the answers!’ – Kayla
‘My favourite lesson this week was P.E because it was gymnastics and it was fun. The skills are balancing, rotation and jumping. The best station was the climbing ropes and bars.’ Faith
‘A lesson we found tricky this week was learning our Scottish poem. It is called The Sair Finger’ and it is tricky speaking Scots!’ – Ciaran
‘My favourite lesson this week was numeracy. We were learning to add and subtract money using chimney sums’ – Brooke
Please check school bags for Panto letters.
P.E is on Mondays and Tuesdays so please remember gym kit.
Outdoor learning will be happening on a Thursday afternoon – please bring appropriate clothing and footwear as we will be out in most weathers!
‘ I have been learning about a really special composer. His name is Beethoven. He composed classical music.’ Ciaran
‘ We have been writing and our new picture was called Sky Ladder. We used SICK SENTENCES to help improve our writing.’ Fraser
‘ I have been learning about Germany and I made a German flag. We also made a German stall.’ Leah
