P5/4 Class Newsletter

Welcome back for term 4. I hope you are ready for the final stretch!

Literacy

In reading this term, we are working on literacy circles and comparing texts. We will have further sessions focused on locating information in non-fiction texts. Furthermore, we will be looking at individual and group presentations. For writing, we will be looking at non-chronological report writing that will feed into our science work around animals and habitats and recount writing.

Numeracy

In our number work we will be looking at the finding missing numbers, fractions and consolidating the use of all the strategies we have learned this year. For Beyond Number, we will be focusing on tiling, probability and converting measurements.

Please take the time to practise times tables with your child up to the 12 times table. There are also monthly challenges on Seesaw as well as the chance to be the class Sumdog Star!

Health and Wellbeing

This term we will be looking at how to keep ourselves safe and my world of work.

PE

For PE we will be doing lots of athletics in the build up to Sports Day. Mrs Saeed will be teaching the indoor sessions to cover non-class contact time.

Our sessions are:

Indoors on a Wednesday.

Outdoors on a Tuesday.

Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for both indoor and outdoor activities with a change of shoes and PE clothes on these days. Remember that children should not be wearing jewellery on these days for health and safety.

Expressive Arts

This term we are focusing on Glasgow’s 850th Anniversary with artwork to match. We will be looking at animal habitats around Glasgow as part of our science topic and creating art in response to them.

Homework

Homework will be set on Seesaw again this term. I will set a Numeracy task and Spelling on Seesaw every week unless we have special additional tasks such as Earth Day tasks or presentations to prepare.
