When coming in from the playground, the P4 door is opposite the Rainbow Room.

At the end of the day your teacher will accompany you outside to meet whoever is collecting you.

Curriculum for Excellence is a 3 - 18 skills based curriculum which is designed to prepare our your learners with skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work.

In all stages of Primary school there are eight curriculum areas:

• Expressive Arts

• Health and Wellbeing

• Languages (including Literacy and English and Modern Languages)

• Numeracy and Maths

• Religious and Moral Education

• Sciences

• Social Studies

• Technologies

Throughout the year you will cover a wide range of topics in Numeracy and Mathematics. As well as revising and recapping what you have learnt in P3, your P4 teacher will ensure you are making progress as you work towards the end of First Level. You will develop your skills and understanding through a range of practical and written activities.

Some areas you might cover this year include:

• Addition and subtraction using carrying and exchanging

• Multiplication tables (and making links with division)

• Time (digital and analogue)

• Problem solving

• Measure (length, weight and volume)

In P4, just like in previous years you will be learning to develop your skills in Reading, Writing and Talking and Listening.

Some activities may include:

• Active spelling

• Comprehension

• Creative writing

• DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read)

• Handwriting

• Functional writing

• Grammar

Just like in Primary 3 you will be leading your own learning by choosing a Context for Learning each term. This will provide a chance to develop your skills in a variety of curricular areas.

Some examples of the Contexts for Learning that have been explored in Primary 4 previously are:

• The Romans

• The Vikings

• China

• Italy

• Natural Disasters

Throughout the year, you will explore a range of curricular areas. Here are some examples of the experiences you might have.

In Primary 4 you will each have a base seat with your own desk and tray. Each day you will complete daily literacy and numeracy targets as well as spending some time at the teaching table. In addition you will also have 3 weekly targets to complete which may link to your context for learning or other curricular areas. There will be a system in place to allow you to show your teacher that you have completed your targets.
