Reading-L.I: To read for understanding (LIT 1-17a).

We will be reading extracts from plays over the last few weeks of term, checking our understanding of what is happening and using our previous learning from the weekly comprehensions we have completed in class.

Read the extract from the play titled ‘Staying together’

Answer the questions in your language jotter or on paper.

Writing-L.I To structure a story successfully (LIT 1-20a).

Over the last few weeks, we have revisited planning out a story by looking at developing a character, setting the scene and plotting it out. As this is our last learning grid for P4, you are going to complete your story – continuing by writing your middle and final paragraph(s).

Watch the clip here to remind yourself of How to create a story structure

Remember to include the following:

1. Capital letters and punctuation – full stops, commas, exclamation marks or question marks. Maybe you will have some speech in there.

2. Ambitious vocabulary – think of WOW words – try to up-level your language.

3. Be descriptive – remember you want the reader to imagine what is in your head – you have to give lots of details.

4. Check over your writing as you go. Sometimes what is in your head is not always what ends up on the page and then it can easily not make sense.

V.C.O.P - (pick one) or for a Challenge complete both

This is the last challenge I will be setting you for this term. I really hope you have enjoyed the challenges. I

have loved seeing your results, thank you for sharing them with me.

This week’s challenge is to make a kite using a plastic bag. Follow the link for instructions (Activity 2).

tightly rolled paper. When trying to fly your kite REMEMBER to follow the safety advice. Now all we need

is a windy day!

A Message from my Teacher

Hi all,

This is the last grid that Mrs Young and I have made for you. It has been a tricky few months, but I think in some shape or form we have done it. Thank you P4!! I don’t think Mrs Young nor myself could have chosen a better year group to have had in these very strange times.

We certainly won’t forget the classes we had in 2020.

We miss you all! Take care. Stay happy and Stay Safe. We hope that, in the not too distant future, we will be able to see you all soon – and Mrs Young with her wee bundle of joy.

Mrs McKie and Mrs Young xx
