Follow this link to the new and improved Blog site. I will post school work there each day (this will be exactly the same work that has been put on Teams). I will also add other useful resources to provide support and challenge if you want to access them, as well as some fun activities.

Hola P4/5

It is the last day of term, so let’s have some fun!

• Literacy – Limericks

Limericks are funny poems that only have 5 lines. They have a special rhyming pattern where lines 1, 2 and 5 share a rhyme, and lines 3 and 4 share a different rhyme. You can find lots of examples written for (and by) children – here.

• Option 1 (mild) – pick your favourite limerick from the website above and write it out in your best handwriting. Illustrate your limerick with pictures that fit the poem.
• Option 2 (spicy/hot) – Try to write your own limerick. Use one of the guides below to find out how. The written instructions give you more detail on how to plan your limerick. Illustrate your limerick when you have finished.

• Numeracy – Prodigy Math Teacher Battles

As long as I don’t have any online meetings, I will be playing Prodigy at 11am and 2pm (probably for about 45 minutes each time). Join me and try to battle me!

• I will be playing from ‘school’ – so you’ll need to select school to find me!
• My first name has 3 syllables; my last name has 5 syllables…
• Can you find me and challenge me?

If I have to change the times I will update this page, so check back.

• UPDATE – I’ve learnt a bit more about Teacher Battles – I think you have to challenge me! I will be in the Ice World next to Bok this afternoon – check your list of classmates and see if you can guess who I am (I’m about level 22 and have a charfoal).

 

• Other – Drama

This is something you can do with a member of the family – or even the whole family!

• One member of the family leaves the room while the others agree on a scene to act out like working in a pizza shop or lining up for a race.
• The family member returns and must try to guess what you are doing.
• Swap places and let a different person have a go.

Think about your whole body and facial expression. Remember you might need to be a little bit EXTRA with your movements in order for them to be noticed.

Have fun 🙂

Buenas Dias P4/5

I hope you are all doing well and are getting out for some daily exercise. I saw a seal and a deer yesterday evening during my daily walk 🙂

The challenges today:

• Languages

You have a choice of 3 activities for languages. If you can’t get into Teams, the link to Miss Craig’s assignment is here.

The links to the video and recipe in the assignment are below in case you can’t open them from the document.

The other recipe is here.

 

• Numeracy

Mild: Practice telling the time at different points during the day – set the hands on your cardboard clock to match a digital clock/watch or the time on a computer. Check with an adult if you need help. Try the spicy challenge if it is o’clock or half past. Use your cardboard clock and move the hands around like a real clock to help you work out the answer (don’t forget to move both hands if it is half past). Other help on telling the time can be found on Education city (see the folder ‘Learn screens – Time’ in the classwork folder) or for a simple sheet, click  here.

Spicy: If you are confident at telling the time, try this instead: each time you look at the clock, write down the time and then write down how long it is until midday (use 6pm if it is past midday). Put your answers in a table:

Time now	How long until midday?	How long until 6pm?
10:15 am	1 hr 45 mins	7 hrs 45 mins
11:05am	55 minutes	6 hrs 55 mins

Hot: Do the spicy challenge and then convert your answer to minutes.

Remember: To convert the time to minutes, each hour has to be converted to 60 minutes.

• 1 hr 45 mins = 60 minutes + 45 minutes. This is 105 minutes altogether.
• 7 hrs 45 mins = (7 x 60) minutes + 45 minutes. 7 x 60 = 420 minutes. Add another 45 minutes = 465 minutes altogether.

 

Also practice your mental math skills by writing out your times tables, using Top Marks Daily 10 or using Hit the Button – focus on multiplication and division facts. You can use the mini whiteboard you made for your mental math (scroll back through the posts if you haven’t made one yet – it doesn’t take long!)

• Literacy

Use at least ten of your spelling words from the last 2 weeks (they can be common words or Fry’s words) and make a crossword or a word search with them. You could even combine the two – make a word search but instead of writing the words you have used, write clues for the words. If you can’t find your spelling words, make an Easter puzzle instead.

The word search is the mild challenge – I’m sure you all know how to make a word search. If you haven’t got squared paper, use some lined paper and draw extra lines going down the page using a ruler. Write all the letters in your grid in CAPITALS and remember to write the words down under your grid.

The word search with crossword clues is the spicy challenge because you will need to think up clues for each word. You could use a dictionary to help you. Write the clues under the grid instead of the words.

The crossword is the hot challenge, because you will need to plan how all the words fit together as well as write clues for each word.  Take a look at the picture below to get an idea of how to set it out.

If you can post your crosswords/word searches on the Teams page, then your friends can have a go at them 🙂
