Real life Maths

All about kilograms

We estimated how many items would weigh 1kg. Next, we used scales to weigh out 1kg of potatoes, apples, books and even shoes and then counted how many of each were needed. 

Topic: Weather ⛈🌧🌦🌤⛅️☀️❄️💧💦☔️

P4 try presenting the weather forecast but it is not as easy as it looks on TV. 

🐇🐣Hunting for our own Easter bunnies in the school forest area🐣 🐇

Enjoying hot chocolate and some yummy chocolate cake after our bunny hunt. 

World Book Day Fun 

Numeracy

We have enjoyed learning about place value.

Scarecrow Maths

We had great fun doing scarecrow maths. We worked with a partner to decide how we would dress our scarecrows. We had to be very careful as each item of clothing was priced and we only had a certain amount of money to spend.

Autumn

Our topic this term is Autumn. We will be learning all about the signs of autumn to look out for over the next few weeks. We will be learning how to identify trees by their leaves and fruit.

We made some lovely trees of our own in an art lesson.

We made some lovely scarecrows. We had to cut and stick very carefully.

We enjoyed using pastels to draw hedgehogs.

School in the Past

Our next topic will be School in the Past.

We will be learning all about how children used to learn many years ago.

We will be learning about Abercorn Primary School in the past.

Below we can see the builders who built our school and some of the previous principals.

School Uniform Activity

We were given a price list with items of uniform. We had to calculate if it was cheaper to buy a uniform for a boy or a girl.

Chinese New Year

We will be learning all about the country of China. We will find out where China is in the world and about the major cities, rivers and bordering countries. We will discover how Chinese New Year is celebrated. Look out for some lovely Chinese artwork. 

We had a great morning at a Chinese Roadshow in Banbridge Academy. We made dragons and masks. We took part in Chinese dragon dances and danced with ribbons. We enjoyed watching the dancers performing. 

We enjoyed celebrating the Chinese New Year in class.

We worked with a partner to plan a Chinese Party. We had to think carefully and use our 4x tables as the party was for four people. We had a budget of £5.

We tried some Chinese food. We used chopsticks to eat noodles. We also tried some prawn crackers and fortune cookies.

We did a science experiment to see which liquids cleaned our pennies the best. We tried five different liquids. Salt and vinegar worked the best. 

World War Two

Our last topic this year will be World War Two. We will be learning about why the war started and why children had to be evacuated.

We will also be learning about shelters, rationing, spies and VE Day. 

We will learn a lot of information during our trip to Palace Stables.

Look out for some lovely pictures. We also hope to be digging for victory in the school grounds.

We all enjoyed a visit from the Amazing Journey.

We had a visitor who was showing us how to play a drum.
