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.

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.

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)

Here is this weeks challenge calendar. Give some of these activities ago.

Have fun! ✨🎉

Lets start with out daily phonics lesson!

Remember an alternative to the Phonics part of literacy is to view the phonics lessons through the RWI youtube channel for children to follow along at home. These will be live Monday – Friday at the times listed below. Each sound workbook in your home learning pack will tell you at the top what set of sounds you are working on.

Set 2 Speed Sounds at 10am and again at 1pm

Set 3 Speed Sounds at 10.30am and again at 1.30pm

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ

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.

SPELLING -Use your spelling sheet from your home learning pack and choose an  activity of your choice.

Remember to choose a star challenge which you think is appropriate for your learning! Additionally, feel free to push yourself on through different levels on the common words section of Doorway! 

Above the stars I have written where these words have come from on Doorway Speller.For example to practice these words on doorways speller you would follow the link below.

https://www.doorwayonline.org.uk/activities/speller/

• Click 1200 common words
• Then click the part written above your spelling words. eg. 1 star challenge would click 1st hundred then set 4.

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.

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.
