Hello All! We have had a very busy first term in primary 4 and
are now getting round to updating our blog. Keep an eye out for more
regular updates in term 2!
This week we were learning how to write a report, this had to include a
title, factual information, headings and a personal opinion. We decided to
reflect on what we have been learning about in term 1 using the subject areas
as our headings. Here is a compilation of some of the children’s reports. Enjoy!
I hope everyone has a lovely October break! :)
