Good Morning Everyone!💚

Today I am going to give you a lockdown task focusing on positive thoughts.  Mrs Lowden sent this PowerPoint and it highlights the importance of staying positive.  I would like you to;

  1. Read through the PowerPoint.
  2. Create a poster with a positive message.  You can do this on a computer or with pens/paints and paper.  Now remember it is to promote positive thinking, so make it attractive.
  3. Take a picture of your poster, either with you holding it or just the poster itself.  Make sure you write your name on it.
  4. Send your picture to my glow email.  ddkrice485@glow.sch.uk

I will make a video of all your messages and share it via the blog.  We are living in testing times and I know we are all missing each other, so it will be lovely for us all to read each other’s positive thoughts ✨

I will wait until Monday to give you time to create the poster and send it over to me.  It would be amazing if you could all participate 😃

Here is the PowerPoint …

Good Morning Primary 6! ☀️
I am missing you all today!

Remember do what you can.  If you are feeling overwhelmed  by the workload, take a break!

Literacy
WONDEROPOLIS – this website holds many articles about the wonders of life.  I have selected an article titled, “Have you ever wondered what Earth would be like with no moon?”  I would like you to;

  1. Read the article.
  2. List new vocabulary and find the definitions of the words.
  3. Summarise the article.  Summarising requires you to write the key information from the article.  Just think, if someone was to read your summary they should gain a full idea of what the article is about.

 

Maths 

  • Today you are going chose from the challenges below.  You might want to push yourself further today and challenge yourself? The challenges consist of 2,3,4,5 and 6 digit addition and subtraction.  If you want you can try a couple from an easier worksheet to warm you up and then move onto a hotter challenge.   Do what you are confident doing.  Use a calculator to mark your answers.

The Virtual Calming Room

Primary 6,  I found this ‘virtual calming room’ that has many strategies to help you with your emotions.  This uncertain time can make us all feel overwhelmed and anxious, so if you click the link there are lots of different activities you can engage with.
My favourite is the sounds and music tab.  Very relaxing!!💆🏻‍♀️❤️ Enjoy ✨

Literacy

  1. Revision of metaphors.  Click the link below to access a short video.  With the video there is a quiz you can complete.  It might be interesting to do the quiz first to see how much you remember?
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zfkk7ty/articles/z9tkxfr
  2. Now complete the activity. We did this before, way back in October.  Think carefully  about what the metaphor means.  If it states “it’s raining cats and dogs”, is it really raining cats and dogs or is there a different meaning behind it?
