Wednesday 25th March – Numeracy Tasks for today

Good Morning Primary 7! I hope you are all well 🙂  Here is today’s Board Number, please complete in the new 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).

Explain your reasoning  – reply to this post with your answer and your reasoning. (You can add comments to any blog posts that I put on the blog).

PODCAST MATHS QUIZ – (You may be asked to sign up to BBC to access this, ask an adult at home – it’s just an email address and then create a password, I just set up an account for myself)

You will need your jotter/paper and a pencil – listen to the podcast, there are various questions and then the answers are given too.  The last round is Target Number, the same as we play in class.  Keep a score of your points! Let me know your scores by commenting on this post. Good Luck!

Good Afternoon everyone,  I hope you have all had a great day.  It might feel a little strange working from home and I hope you are finding your timetable useful – I think it is important to maintain a little bit of structure whilst we aren’t in school. Thank you to everyone that has emailed me so far with queries, your dedication is amazing!

I thought it would be helpful to put together some more useful links to websites that may be of use to you all whilst the schools are closed.  You can use these links to do lots of activities and where it refers to Home Learning Challenge on the timetable you can use these websites for that, if you wish.  These websites are in addition to those that are on the Home Learning Grid – I couldn’t fit them all on! If you find out anymore that you think would be of use, please email me with any suggestions and I will post on the blog!

Missing you all! Stay safe and take care, Mrs P!

Good Afternoon P7!

For ICT this afternoon/this week I would like you to add to your blogs (the list of required posts is on the back of the Home Learning Grid) If you are up-to-date with this please add a post ‘Home Learning’ and share what you have been doing so far. Remember you can take pictures of what you have been doing and add these to the posts.

You can also use this time to catch up with Newsround, Sumdog, First News or continue to work on numeracy and literacy tasks, I will leave it up to you to decide. These posts can be completed over the course of this week, do not feel rush into doing them all in one day, take your time and where possible, get out for some fresh air in your garden.

I thought this might brighten everyone’s day – some links to live animal webcams, they are very cute!

WORD OF THE DAY – TREACHEROUS

In your jotters, you can set it out like this:

Meaning:

Synonyms:

Uplevelled Paragraph:

SECOND TASK – Once you have completed Word of the Day, please go to the Wonderopolis website (QR code is on the grid) and choose a wonder of interest.  https://wonderopolis.org/

Read the article and then complete the activities on the template that is in your Home Learning Pack. DO NOT FILL IN THE TEMPLATE BUT  USE AS A GUIDE. 

Layout will look like this in your jotters:

There is an example on the other side of the template.

I have pasted the link below to three levels, 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

1st Level will be revision and if you have a younger sibling at home you could even teach them how to do it – remember teaching others helps us to recall 90% of what we learn!

The 2nd level is what we will have been doing in class and the 3rd level you will have done bits of, so don’t worry if you are not sure of all of the 3rd level questions.
