Good Morning Primary 3.

I hope you are all working hard this week and are being nice and helpful at home! Missing you all!

Today on your timetable we have Numeracy, Literacy,  Daily 15, Reading, Newsround and another Home Learning Challenge!

Board Sums

Circles

Use your counting sticks to practice counting up in 2s. If you don’t have counting sticks practice counting in 2’s with a person at  home.

Remember when we count in 2s we say all the even numbers…

0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and so on.

We can also look at the 2 times table like this.

2×3=6this can be read as 2 groups of 3  equals 6.

Try  to answer the questions below in your little red maths jotter. Please draw pictures to help you. The first one has been done for you.

Triangles and Squares

As a bit of extra practice before continuing with the multiplication and division pages in your home learning pack. Lets try some more arrays in your jotter. Remember these arrays will come in handy when we continue working on finding the area!

In your little red maths jotter draw arrays which show the following sums. Remember to write a multiplication sum and division sum to match your arrays. See Mondays post for an example 🙂

3 x 4      5 x 6    2 x 8     10 x 5      3 x 8

Complete the next multiplication page in your home learning pack. Remember you can draw arrays to help you. The textbook page also gives examples of how the questions can be answered.

Again, if you have any questions you can ask them on the Primary 3 blog. I will keep checking this throughout the day!

Good Luck!

For todays daily 15 I have found a fun challenge for you!

This is an exercise challenge where you have to spell out your own name.

Follow the instructions below…

As an extra challenge try to spell out someone at homes name or the name of a friend!

Have fun!

Yesterday I asked you to draw a picture of either your favourite animal or an animal you would like to learn  more about. Following this you should have came up with a few questions you would like to find out about this animal.

Todays Task

Now it’s your job to research this animal to find out some information to answer your questions. You can do this by googling key words. For example if yesterday you drew a picture of a giraffe, today you might type the word ‘giraffe‘ into google search to find some information.

Next you will either create a fact file for this animal in your blue home learning jotter or you can  log into the P3 Blog to create your fact file in a blog post.

Remember your fact file has to have  a title. This would be the name of your animal so we can easily see what your fact file is about.

Remember to make your headings bold so they can stand out.

I would like you to find out …

Name of Animal-

Diet (What the animal eats)-

Habitat (Where the animal lives) –

What does the animal look like (describe the animal)-

Interesting Fact –

CHALLENGE – If you have completed this task on the P3 Blog can you add a picture of your animal too.

Good Luck! I can’t wait to see your amazing work!

If you are completing this in your jotter here is an example template you might want to use to help you!

We have completed a similar task in class when we were learning about China so you should be familiar with how to complete this task. If not remember to write on the blog if you need some help 🙂

Complete the first multiplication page. Remember you can draw arrays to help you. The textbook page also gives examples of how the questions can be answered. Additionally, if you have any other questions remember you can ask on the P3 blog! I am checking this continuously.

Good Luck!

Today’s home learning challenge will help us with tomorrow’s ICT task.

In ICT we have been leaning how to write under headings and have made some fact files to show this. We have also recently learned how to use a search engine like Google to find information. We do this by searching key words.

For todays home learning challenge I would like you to have a think about your favourite animal or an animal you would like to learn some more about.

Draw a picture of it. You can either do this in your blue home learning jotter or on a piece of paper.

Write down some things you want to find out about your animal as tomorrow we will use our research skills to answer our questions and make our own fact file to post on the P3 Blog!

Good luck!
