Today is going to be a lovely day. I’d like you to get outdoors safely and enjoy the sun. Maybe you could take a walk up to the school and leave a message on the railings for the school community to see. You could write/draw what you miss but most importantly what you are looking forward to when we are together again.

Maybe you would like to write me a wee message on the blog to tell me some fun things you have been up to? A few people have even emailed me and I love hearing from you because I miss you so much! Its also a great way of practising your ICT skills…. logging in to Glow, accessing your email, writing and sending a message… all great skills!

Have a look at the work from the past few weeks and see if there is anything you could do. I’d love to read a story or see your maths work.

Have a lovely day and a great weekend. I’m in the hub next week but you can still get in touch.

Get Spelling Blue Workbook

Today I’d like you to do a reading comprehension. Remember, that’s carefully reading a passage and then answering questions. We answer the questions in sentences. We reread the correct parts of the story to find the answer. Sometimes we have to use our thinking skills to work out the answer – it doesn’t always leap out at us!

Your story is called Pugs of the Frozen North and the file can be found on the link below, at the bottom of the page and downloaded. Read the story and answer the questions in your jotter or on paper. You don’t have to print anything.

Get Spelling Red Group

Read the information for the Blue group. You are also going to do some reading and answering questions on what you have read. The file is at the bottom of the page, just download, read and answer the questions in a sentence. You don’t have to print and cut.

Do a Daily 10 of your choice. Don’t make it too easy though! Challenge yourself!

Time to get body and mind working together: skip, bounce a ball, bounce on a trampoline, do squats, star jumps (there are lots of ideas on the sheet in your folder). Maybe you could combine this exercise with a skip count, or a times table chant? Maybe you could pick a target number, say 50, and a partner could shout out, say 17 and you have to mentally calculate how to hit the target, using whatever strategy you find easier! Counting on ,counting back, doubles, near doubles, add or subtract a 10…. the list goes on!

There’s lots of ideas, tips, games and printables about help with multiplication and division  on this link.
