Good Morning Primary 7, I hope are you are well 🙂  I wanted to post an update about the In-Service days that were scheduled for this week and then the Victoria Day Holiday next week.

Tomorrow (Thursday 21st) and Friday 22nd May are In-Service days and Monday 25th May is a holiday – therefore, you do not have to complete any home learning, of course this is optional and if you feel like you want to then that is okay, it is up to you. There will be no Numeracy/Literacy posts on our blog now until Tuesday 26th May.

Have a lovely long weekend, stay safe and have fun 🙂

Wednesday 19th May – Numeracy Tasks

Here is today’s Board Number, please complete in the maths jotter that is in your home learning pack.  Remember you do not have to do the extra, this is simply an extra challenge.

Once you have finished, please use a calculator to correct or ask someone at home to correct your work.  Remember, you can also use the inverse operation to correct your work too. For example 28472 x 6, once you have the answer, to use the inverse operation to correct, simply carry out a division calculation using your answer divided by 6 (the answer to this division calculation should be 28472).

Good Morning Primary 7 🙂

I hope you are all well and had a lovely weekend! This week the home learning will be posted daily – numeracy and literacy tasks will be there for you to work through.  Remember you have a few things in your Home Learning Pack that you can work through if you wish – a maths textbook, a historical timelines activity that involves you researching different historical periods, a guided reading activity sheet and the home learning grid (which has websites and ideas on it).  I will also be posting some other websites for you to use, if you wish.

Please remember just do what you can, there is absolutely no pressure to complete everything that is posted each day, some days you may do more and some days you may do less, it is what works best for you and your family.

If you haven’t already joined teams please can you do this, you just need your glow email and password to sign in.  If you can also check your emails, I sent out an email asking for a P1 picture and also a picture of you in you hoodie holding up a message for the other children.  Thanks to those who have sent me their pictures, my email address is ddspaton810@glow.sch.uk if it is easier for someone at home to send me the pictures.

Have a good day!   Mrs P  🙂
