Feel-Good Friday

Good morning everyone.  Are you all looking forward to the Easter holidays?  Hopefully the weather will stay good so that you can get into the garden for some outdoor learning.

I’ve changed the name of my Friday challenge, as I thought ‘Feel-Good Friday’ sounded better than ‘Crafty Friday’, so that’s what it will be called from now on.

Mrs Flockton’s ‘Design a Garden’ challenge made me think about an activity that I used to enjoy doing as a child, and I thought you might like to try it too.

Click on the Sway to find out more …

I hope you enjoy the activity.  Remember to take a photo of your creation and either email it to me or stick it in your Learning Journal.

Have a lovely break and I’ll be back with more fun challenges for you to try after the holidays.

Happy Easter!

Games for Easter and Spring

P4 have been enjoying playing mental maths games on the Digipuzzle website – Pacman is one of their favourites.  Today I found a new Pacman game to play – Easter Words.

Have a look at the Sway to see some of my suggestions for some other games you could play.  You’ll also find links to the website there.

I hope you have fun trying some of them.  Let me know which ones you’ve tried by leaving a comment on the blog.  🙂

 

 

 

 

Word of the Week (Hot)

Hello everyone.  I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are going to try out some more of the grid activities this week.

Before the school closed, P4 were keen to have a ‘Word of the Week’, challenge.  I thought some of the other classes might like to give it a go too, so here it is.

Click on the Sway to find out what to do.

I wonder if anyone in P6/5 can remember what this week’s word means?  🙂

Numeracy – Mental Maths – Spicy/Hot – Update

Hello everyone!

It’s time to practise our Times Tables.

Click on the Sway below to see some NEW fun and challenging activities that you can do at home to improve your multiplication skills.

Please comment and let us know which times tables you have been practising and which activity you are enjoying the most!

Numeracy Grid challenge – Mental Maths activities – Spicy Level but suitable for all

Have you managed to do any maths this week. Don’t forget all those practical tasks you are doing at home already use maths in them. We have finally found the time to bake in the Flockton house and we are playing Monopoly which is getting a little heated at times!!!

Some teachers may have some Sumdog activities for  those of you that use it in class but feel free to try out other maths apps and websites as well as your practical activities such as weighing or measuring.

Here are a few suggestions –

‘Daily 10’, you can chose all sorts of areas of maths and change the challenge level (Free online)

Multiplication tables – ‘DK Multiplication’ is a hit in our house (Free app)

Carol Vorderman is providing maths tutorials online for those working at the Hot stage.

Most pupils should be familiar with ‘Topmarks’ games (Free online)

P3 love BBC Supermovers, this has songs to dance to and includes everything from Addition to Multiplication. It’s also a little easier than Joe Wicks!!!

We all have our favourite games but leave a comment to share your favourite maths related game (Virtual or not) We might all be reminded of some favourites.
