As usual lets start with our phonics lesson.

PHONICS – With a person at home use your pencil as your pointing stick and work your way through the speed sound sheet. Remember to challenge yourself and try to say the sounds in a different order.
Each of you have either set 2 or set 3 sounds in your home learning packs too. With someone at home say the sound and then the words underneath. Remember to say…

• The special friends
• Fred in your head
• Say the words

Work through this booklet to practice this!

JOTTER CHALLENGE – Open your blue home learning jotter and choose another jotter challenge of your choice. Complete this in your blue jotter.

Writing Task!

These activities are split based on literacy levels.

1 Star

If you usually work within the 1 star challenge in literacy please follow the link below. This will take you to a literacy booklet suitable for your level.

https://www.talk4writing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Y1-Unit.pdf

Your literacy tasks will be based around the story ‘Sidney Spider – A Tale of Friendship’.

For today’s task…

• Read the story with a someone at home.
• Complete Sidneys sticky notes after you’ve discussed the story with a grown up.

2 Star

Our literacy will be based around the story in the link below. This story is called ‘The Magical Teaching Box’.

https://www.talk4writing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Y2-Unit.pdf

For today’s task…

• Read the story.
• STOP READING AT THIS POINT and complete this activity.

• Continue to read the story and complete this activity.

3 Star

Some of the 3 star challenge activities might be a bit tricky to complete independently but if you would like a challenge you can give this a go!

All our literacy activities are going to be based around the following text. The story is called ‘The Truth about Trolls’.

Read the text  from the link below. Remember this can be done with an adult to help you.

https://www.talk4writing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Y3-Unit.pdf

Our first task is quite tricky. My advice would be to  try and match up the words you know first. For example … the word which could match mean would be nasty.

Give it a try! I promise the next couple of activities will be easier. 🤗

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all staying safe at home. I am missing you all lots and can’t wait to see you after this is all over.

Today on your timetable we have Numeracy, Literacy, ICT and Daily 15.  😀

Lets keep working though subtraction problems! Remember you also have the Numicon number line in the back of your blue jotter to help you. Complete these questions in your red maths jotter.

Feel free to play the subtraction game on Topmarks for extra practice when you are done. The link for this was in yesterdays numeracy blog post.

Hopefully your subtraction task went well yesterday. Lets do some more practice today to make sure we can complete these questions accurately.

Todays home learning challenge involves a bit of data handling.

It has been a little while since we practiced using tally marks but it should be something you are familiar with through our use of these, for table points, in the classroom.

For this activity you will need to use the Twinkl log in/code on the front of your home learning folder.

Use the link below to access the website and create your free account.

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/

Once you have created your free Twinkl account  click the link below. This will take you to a downloadable e-book called ‘Treasures in the Garden‘. We will be referring to this story for todays learning.

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-53236-treasures-in-the-garden-ebook

Todays Activity

• Read the story ‘Treasures in the Garden’. In the story we can see Holly collects some treasure to try to cheer up her brother.
• It is your job to find some treasure although the challenge is that you only have 3 minutes to find as much as you can. Although the story is about outdoor treasure this activity can be completed inside too. Ideas of treasure are listed below…

Indoor Treasure                                                  Outdoor Treasure

Teddies                                                                      Leaves

Pencils/Pens                                                          Flowers

Coins                                                                          Sticks

Spoons                                                                      Stones

Shoes                                                                         Insects

• Count up each item you have found within the 3 minute timer. You could even estimate how many you think you have found before counting them accurately. (Remember an estimate is a rough guess)
• Create a simple tally chart like the example below. Choose which chilli challenge is most appropriate for your learning. We only have a 1 star challenge or a 2 star challenge today.✨

• You can complete this task in your jotter or you can even use chalk (if you have it) to complete this outside.
• Take a picture and post this on the blog.

If you need a little reminder of how tally marks are used watch the video clip below!

Extra Challenge

Can you answer the following questions…

• What treasure did you find the most of?
• What treasure did you find the least of?
• What is the difference between these?

(CLUE – The difference is the most take away the least)

Our Daily 15 today we are going to learn a dance routine to the song ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’ from the Trolls Movie.

Follow the instructions to learn the Kids Bop routine or just dance along to the song. Get your dancing shoes on and have fun 😀

Good Morning Primary 3!

It’s Monday again, I hope you had a nice weekend. Today on your timetable we have Numeracy, Literacy, Daily 15, Reading, Newsround and another Home Learning Challenge!

Board Sums

Triangles and Squares in your boards sums this week I am going to include a multiplication sum and a division sum too. This will give you the opportunity to practice these skills as we haven’t used these for  a little while. Remember you can draw arrays or use sharing circles to help you answer these.

Circles

Last time we did lots of addition to 30 problems. We had to add two numbers together using a number line or Numicon to work out the answer. We already know that adding gives us more of something, but when we subtract what happens?

Watch the video below to find out!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NHI0ePgwlgU

Let’s try subtraction problems on a number line. Complete the task below in your red maths jotter.

Here is a link to a game you can use to practice your subtraction.
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/subtraction-grids

You can choose to click on subtraction to 10, 20 or 30.

Triangles and Squares

Today we are going to work on subtraction. Now remember subtraction is the opposite of addition.

Today we are going to practice double digit subtraction. It has been a little while since we did this together in class or in a group with Mrs Brankin. Watch the video below to help remind yourself of what to do.

Give these questions a go in your red maths jotter.

Here is a link to a game you can use to practice your subtraction.
