What a busy week with lots of different learning opportunities, well done everyone! Please can we also take a moment to thank all the children and their supportive families for the challenges that we have faced at school this week. We are very grateful for your continued patience, support and understanding with learners in school and those Learning Together at Home.

Pictures to follow – hopefully technology allows!

Thanks for all Learning Stories so far – a final plea for any last ones to be returned as these will be coming home again soon! Thank you! 😊

      Well done Primary 4WL for a busy and successful short week of learning – in school and at home! 😊 Thank you again to our supportive families and also for helping the pupils upload any Buckstone’s Got Talent entries (well done P4WL, we are so proud of your auditions!) in time for the final this week as well as the prompt returns of the recorded lesson permission slips for Mr. Parry too, this is much appreciated. We have been amazed at the wonderful learning from Learning Together at Home on Thursday and thank the children and families for their efforts!

      Please find your child’s Learning Story in their bag today. We have added our Term 3 Overview as well as individual targets for this term in Literacy, Numeracy and Topic. Please share these with your child and return the Learning Stories as soon as you can so that we can gather evidence from our learning this term. Thank you!

      Next week is Health Week across the school. All children can come dressed, every day next week, in their PE clothing. Please ensure that this is suitable for all weather (there have been four seasons in one day many days this week!), and includes warm and waterproof layers if appropriate. It might be a good idea to bring a spare bag of clothing to put in our cloakroom and a change of outdoor shoes into school in-case we are out for a longer period of time. On Tuesday morning P4WL will have the opportunity to take part in some Athletics activities as part of our Sports programme, down at the Waterboard field. Please make sure you have your water bottle and appropriate clothing and footwear for this. We are not expecting the children to wear uniform at any point next week but they can choose to if they wish to. Thank you for your support! We hope that the weather may be a little bit more accommodating to our exciting PE and Health plans!

      Apologies that there have been some technical difficulties with our school blog system and it has been challenging to upload this post and especially the photos this week. Hopefully they will appear in time after many attempts!

      Scroll down to the bottom of this post for a collection of photos 🙂

      Important Information and Reflective Friday 30.4.21

      Staff...544

      Week Beginning 26th April 2021

      Well done for a successful and busy week of learning in P4WL! Thank you for taking the time to engage in the parent consultation sessions this week with Mrs Williamson and I, it has been a great opportunity to share lots of successes and hear about how everyone is. 😊

      Please note that the children have an important letter in their bags today that we talked about in class. Please take an opportunity to read through and return the slip at the bottom by next Friday – 7th May. Thank you for your help and co-operation, it is much appreciated.

      Also, we will be looking to enjoy watching our Buckstone Has Talent entries for P4WL next Wednesday in class. We will be deciding on the class act to go forward for the final on Wednesday. Please upload any videos/recordings onto the Assignments onto our Class Teams files by then. Thank you!

      This week we have been learning to:

      Literacy:

      • Read and analyse a poem and use descriptive phrases.
      • Find the meaning of more challenging words and phrases.
      • Identify adjectives, alliteration and other literacy techniques within texts.
      • Spell words with open syllables and use these within dictations.
      • Share our opinion and ideas around a range of texts.
      • Read, using a clear voice and expression, to an audience.
      • Share key parts of a new class novel, The Legend of Spud Murphy, with information about the setting, characters and events so far.
      • Answer a range of questions, using key evidence from the text.
      • Develop our understanding of a time-line and order events chronologically.

      Spelling next week will be a focus on the Common Words. Please find these in our Teams files if you wish to continue working on these.

      Ideas for Learning at Home:

      1. Find a poem that you are interested in – can you find another by William Wordsworth? Is there a Spring poem you can find and share with your classmates? What do you like about it and why?
      2. Practise the spelling rule this week and the common words.
      3. Take some time to enjoy reading for pleasure, finding a new text like an audio book, magazine, non-fiction book or a novel.

      Numeracy

      This week we have been learning to:

      • Develop our speed and accuracy of number facts.
      • Build on our knowledge of the times tables, specifically the 9 times table.
      • Continue to focus on number patterns and use mental strategies like halving and doubling.
      • Share what we already know about Fractions and identify halves and quarters of shapes and numbers.
      • Identify the position of an object or symbol on a grid.
      • Create a grid of our own and use objects and directional/positional language to share information.
      • Explain what a grid reference is.
      • Develop our knowledge of what co-ordinate grids are and how to find a co-ordinate point.
      • Use real-life maps and contexts to share a grid reference or co-ordinate point.

      Ideas for Learning at Home:

      1. Find a times table you find more challenging – use a game online, one you have created or an idea to help you (it may be good fun to do something outdoors!)
      2. Find a half or quarter of a shape or an amount.
      3. Create a grid outdoors in your garden or a local park/area where you can practise your Angles, Position and Movement. Consider creating grid references/co-ordinate points and how you can challenge yourself to describe a route from one place to another (use the language we have been learning).
      4. Find an atlas or use a map/Google Maps to try and create a grid reference challenge – explain to someone at home how to find an object or symbol.

      Across the Curriculum

      This week we have been learning to:

      • Explore boats from the past and recent times and know how to place them chronologically on a time-line.
      • Draw a design for our own boat, using our STEM skills to think like an engineer.
      • Explore opportunities for creative thinking, problem solving and team-building using the loose parts play equipment.
      • Use line, shape and colour to create a piece of Spring Art.
      • Use pattern, line, shape and colour to recreate a Pop Art style.
      • Take part in fitness challenges and develop our throwing, jumping and ball skills

      Great effort everyone! 😊

      Have a lovely long weekend and we will look forward to seeing you back in school on Wednesday 5th May! 😊

      Staff...544

      Welcome back to term 3 everyone and thank you for a great first week! 🙂 We welcome Mr. Parry to our class, a student teacher, who will be working with us for the next 5 weeks in P4W.
      This week we have enjoyed learning across the curriculum and getting back into our school routines.
      Here are some key aspects of our learning:

      Literacy

      We have been learning to:
      Read for information using a range of texts
      Summarise our understanding of our reading
      Revise our spelling of tricky words
      Spell tricky words correctly within our writing
      Find out about what a ‘Haiku’ is
      Understand what a syllable is and how to use this in poetry
      Look at examples of Haiku poems and share our opinions and thoughts
      Write our own imaginative Spring ‘Haiku’ poems


      Learning at Home Ideas:
      Write your own Spring Haiku – use the ideas we shared and look outside for signs of Spring near you to help you. Can you clap out the rhythm and explain the rule with syllables to someone at home?
      Look over the tricky words posted on the blog and choose a strategy (e.g. rainbow writing, bubble letters or code words) to practise the ones you found hard – you might like to use a spelling game – https://www.topmarks.co.uk/english-games/7-11-years/spelling-and-grammar
      Create your own dictation using your words!

      Maths and Numeracy
      We have been learning to:
      Use speed and accuracy to recall and learn number facts
      Look at the 9 times table and become more confident in knowing the numbers in the pattern
      Share our learning about Angles, Position and Movement
      Revise the different types of Angles and be able to name them – Acute, Obtuse, Right, Reflex, Straight
      Identify the position of an object on a grid and talk about what a grid reference is



      Learning at Home Ideas:
      Can you practise a times table you find tricky? Use ‘Splat 100’ to find patterns or the numbers in the times table – https://www.primarygames.co.uk/pg2/splat/splatsq100.html
      Practise finding a grid reference of an object – http://www.scootle.edu.au/ec/viewing/L350/index.html and watch the video that we looked at in class again (or read more about grid references to help you understand): https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbtp34j/articles/z6hxrj6

      Across the Curriculum
      We have been learning to:
      Develop our throwing, catching and fitness skills in PE
      Look for signs of Spring using our outdoor areas
      Create a piece of Art in the style of Artist Romero Britto
      Find out about learning across the school in a P3 Assembly
      Get to know our new visiting teacher, Mr Parry

      Well done for a busy week of great learning everyone and we hope you all have a great weekend!
      We will look forward to the opportunity to speak with you about your child’s learning at the Parent Consultation sessions next week.

      Thank you and best wishes,
      Mrs Ling, Mrs Williamson, Mr Parry and P4W
