Primary 4 have settled in well to their new class in the annexe. We have had a great start to the year and what a busy term it has been!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Class charter <\/strong><\/p>\n

At the beginning of term, we were learning about our rights and how we can show respect for each others\u2019 rights in our classroom. As a class, we created our class charter.<\/p>\n

Literacy <\/strong><\/p>\n

Already this term, the children have covered a wide range of writing genres including imaginative, recount and report writing, based around our topic<\/p>\n

We start each day with spelling and phonics. In phonics, we have looked at the\u00a0\u2018ae\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0\u2018ee\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0phonemes and we have been identifying words that have these sounds. We have practised using a range of strategies such as Elkonin boxes and Diacritical marking, along with using our knowledge of phonics to help us spell tricky words. Education City has some great activities to help with our spelling words. All children have their usernames and passwords in their reading records.<\/p>\n

Maths\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been working hard in maths lately. We have been looking at number processes and we are moving on to “time” in the coming weeks. In mental maths, we have been consolidating our times tables. Any extra practice that can be done at home would be great!<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures of us enjoying Maths Week. It was a great opportunity to explore maths all around us.<\/p>\n
