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

Leave a comment

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.

Good morning everyone

If your child has a Sumdog account, they will be able to play with Mr Reid and Miss Deans between 12pm – 1pm today.

Mr Reid will be playing – Animals

Miss Deans will be playing – Cycle Race 

Each game will start on a 5 minute interval, meaning that the first game will start at 12pm, then 12.05pm, 12.10pm etc.

When selecting ‘Who do you want to play against?’ – Select ‘Class’.

We have added every teacher to each class, so we should all be able to play together!

We look forward to playing Sumdog with you all.

Tuesday Tunes: HOT Literacy Haiku Poem Challenge- Miss Deans

20 Comments

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you are all settled into our home learning experience and have had time to relax and chill and do fun things!

You may still be getting to grasp with our learning grids and trying to decide which task to do first, one of our hot literacy challenges is to create a Haiku poem, FUN FACT ALERT!!!

Did you know that Haiku poems can feature in songs,  so far I have found lots that unfortunately you may not know but your parents would, HOWEVER I have managed to find one that actually we have featured in an assembly before,  Can anyone correctly guess this  song ?  Please leave your answers in the comments.

Thanks Miss Deans 🙂

Buenos días a todos,

I wish you had a good start of the week. Today Martes 03 de Marzo, it is time for our Spanish activity of the week. First, I will explain your task. After that,  I will do a short review of the topic (so you can remember and to help anyone who might be helping you)  and then it’s your turn!

Click in here so you can see your challenge.

Hola, ¿Cómo te llamas?
Today you will be practicing a short conversation in Spanish with someone at home, or a puppet or toys which ever you think would be more fun! We have done it before so you can try at home.
Go to this Sway

Hope you enjoy it.

Nos vemos (see you)

Health and Wellbeing : Grid 1. Hot Challenge. Mrs Fraser has a go !

I liked the look of the mindfulness colouring challenge so I decided to be brave and have a go.

I’ve never done a sway before but it was really easy to do. I played around with it and I had fun choosing my font and background.

Click on the box arrows  to view my sway. Leave me a comment for feedback and have a go yourself. You can share your design in a sway or draw it in your journal.

I can’t wait to see what you create.

PE with Joe Wicks

13 Comments

As my P3s know I love a ‘brain break‘ and this one was just what I needed today.  At 9am every weekday morning Joe Wicks has promised to upload a live workout to keep our spirits high and fitness levels up.  My son and I had a great time exercising together and hearing about all the countries around the world that were working out with us.  You can find the workouts on Body Coach Youtube channel.  This morning over 800 000 households around the world joined in! Let us know if you have been doing anything to keep your body and mind healthy.

Good morning?
How is everyone today?

You have your journals and the learning grids to help you get started.
The teachers have organised a rota so that new posts are gradually added to the blog throughout the week.
In the background the teachers are planning, creating and writing new blog posts to help you with the activities on the grid.
We will try our best to approve your comments between 9am and 3.15pm.
We are all having to learn a new way of working so let’s continue to be kind and patient with each other as we begin this new learning journey.
Mrs Fraser.
