Welcome to Term Four!
Contexts for Learning / Interdisciplinary Learning.
Our first context for learning is “Silver City by the Sea” We will be learning about Aberdeen and it’s maritime and industrial history. We have a very exciting visit to Aberdeen Airport planned. We will also be visited by Deacon Duncan, who will be teaching us about the important work that Stella Maris do to help seafarers in Aberdeen. A team from Greyhope Bay will come and deliver a workshop where we will be learning about the nature of the Aberdeen coastline.
The second context this term is “We are the Champions!” We will be learning about different sports, tournaments and participating in potted sports, school sports day, and learning about the skills needed for ice hockey and how to play pop lacrosse!
We will also be rehearsing for the school show, which will take place on the 27th June.
Literacy
This term our taught writing will be journalistic, imaginative, letter writing, recount writing and report writing. These pieces will be linked to our Contexts for Learning so amongst other pieces we will be researching sport and sportspeople for report writing, writing newspaper articles of sporting events, writing book reviews and recounts of our trips and learning experiences. We will continue to work on our spelling, grammar and reflective reading strategies.
Maths and Numeracy
In Term 4 we will be learning about fractions and percentages. We will then move on to measure (length, mass, area, capacity). Mrs Kelman will teach co-ordinates and algebra. As always, please continue to practice your times tables as much as you can at home!
