P4
Welcome to Primary 4! Miss Cunningham is our teacher and Mrs Brennan is our classroom assistant.
Literacy
In literacy this year, we are developing our independent reading and writing skills. We will explore a range of writing genres, such as recount, report, narrative, persuasive, procedural and poetry. We are also continuing to develop our phonological awareness, through the linguistic phonics programme. We especially love doing this with practical games and activities. Through our shared and guided reading sessions we will also enjoy exploring both fiction and non-fiction texts, especially those linked to our World Around Us topics.
Numeracy
In numeracy, we love our practical learning experiences, both indoors and outdoors. We will continue to develop our number sense, knowledge of shape and space and ability to handle data, as well as explore the topics of length, time, capacity, weight and area. Throughout the year we will work on our problem-solving and investigation skills, learning to use RUCSAC to solve word problems.
ICT
This year in ICT, we will focus on how to stay safe online and learn about our digital footprint. We will develop our skills in a range of areas, including: Computational Thinking and Coding, Digital Art & Design, Digital Storytelling: Presenting and Music & Sound. We enjoy using digital technology to support and enhance our learning, particularly in literacy and numeracy.
World Around Us
Our first topic in P4 is Minibeasts. Through our World Around Us topics this year, we will develop our Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities. We love learning through Active Learning experiences, especially our Activity Based Learning. We are most excited about our minibeast hunt in our outdoor classroom.
Grow in Love
Primary 4 is an important year in our journey in Faith. We will celebrate the Sacraments of Holy Communion. In school we follow the Grow in Love programme, and Wonder of My Being programme, as well as partaking in school assemblies and attending Mass.
PE
Our PE days are Monday’s and Thursday’s. This year we will develop our skills in gymnastics, athletics, games, and dance. We really look forward to our Acti-Sport sessions with Graham.
Music
We are so lucky to have Mr McVeigh visit our class every week to teach us music. Lots of our class also are learning to play instruments and we are members of the school choir.
Keep an eye on our class page and our Facebook page to see what we get up to this year!
