P4 Learning Highlights: September & October
P4 have thoroughly enjoyed exploring our topic Home Sweet Home alongside our class novel, Flat Stanley.
Literacy: The children have enjoyed describing their own homes using key vocabulary and detailed descriptions. They used their imagination to write about the adventures they might have if they were Flat Stanley and shared their ideas with their classmates. As part of an outdoor learning activity, we explored alphabetical order by arranging ourselves alphabetically and revisited the correct use of upper and lower case letters. Throughout the term, we have continued to develop neat handwriting, good presentation skills and accurate use of punctuation in our written work. We have learned about explanation texts and their key features.
Numeracy: This term P4 have been learning about place value, exploring hundreds, tens and units and using these skills to work with larger numbers. During outdoor learning activities, the children estimated and measured using metre sticks and then measured their own heights. We recorded and compared our results before using the data to answer questions. One of the highlights was discovering which children were the same height as Flat Stanley!
World Around Us: As part of our Houses and Homes topic, we have been exploring different types of houses and homes from around the world. The children took part in STEM challenges and built their own house models. The creativity, effort and enthusiasm shown in these projects were fantastic. We were incredibly impressed by the children's ideas and attention to detail and they should be very proud of their finished creations.
PE: This term, we began a block of hurling sessions with Colm. The children have thoroughly enjoyed developing their fundamental hurling skills.
Mrs Conlan’s class thoroughly enjoyed performing their Grow in Love assembly, “Following in Jesus’ Footsteps.” The children represented our class wonderfully and made us all very proud.
