The 24-Hour Clock – Spicy/Hot

Good morning, everyone.  I hope you are well and enjoying the second ‘Health and Wellbeing’ week.

As our Numeracy focus is still ‘Time’, I have made the following Sway on the subject of the 24-hour clock.  I hope you find it useful.

There is also an activity to convert analogue times into 24-hour digital times, and some links to websites featuring a variety of follow-up activities to practise your time-telling ability.

Don’t forget to save any work to your Seesaw class journal, or write the answers in your jotters.

Play Sumdog with Mr Reid and Miss Deans – Spicy/Hot – Numeracy – Term 4 – Week 5

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 – Street Racer

Miss Deans will be playing – Animals 

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.

Skittle Addition

As one of this week’s Numeracy focuses is Addition, and as we are also having an Eco fortnight,  I thought I’d share this idea with you.  It’s a good way to improve your adding skills, it reuses empty plastic bottles,  and it’s a fun outdoor activity for the whole family.

Have a look at the Sway, which explains everything you need to do in order to have a game of Skittle Addition.

Don’t forget to come back on the blog to let me know how you got on and who got the best score in your family.  Good luck!

Area and Measurement – Outdoor Learning

In keeping with our Eco theme, I have thought of some maths-related outdoor activities which I hope you’ll enjoy.  The first is on the topic of Area, while the second is on Measuring.

Explanations for both activities can be found in the Sway below.

Remember – there are links on the Spicy grid which provide help with calculating area and measurements.  Check them out if you’re unsure about anything.

Don’t forget to record your findings in your Home Learning Journal or Sway.  You can also send them to myself or your teacher in an email to let us see your results.

Good luck!
