Please see a copy of today’s home learning tasks. These can be found in the Files section of Microsoft Teams.
Monday 23rd March
Good morning Primary 5. Welcome to our first day of online learning! Remember to check in Files for your job list.
Here are your tasks for the day:
Literacy
• Spelling- representations of ‘oi’.
Remember there are 2 main representations of this- ‘oi’ and ‘oy’
Use the phoneme story to find lists of words using these representations. Diacritically mark the words and record them in your lined jotter.
See the photo: Literacy Monday 23rd March for the phoneme story
Numeracy
• Finding fractions of an amount.
Complete these calculations in your numeracy jotter. You can use a bar model to help you.
See the photo: Numeracy Monday 23rd March for an example
1. 1/2 of 18
2. 1/4 of 20 2/4 of 20
3. 1/3 of 27 2/3 of 27
4. 1/5 of 35 3/5 of 35
5. 1/6 of 30 4/6 of 30
• Play TopMarks- Fraction Matcher Game
PE
• Choose some Zumba videos for kids from You Tube and have some fun! Can you make up your own Zumba moves to the music?
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope you are all safe and well during this difficult time. I wanted to take a minute to let you all know how fantastically your children dealt with the uncertainties last week. They stayed positive and most importantly supported each other, and their teacher!
Online learning will take a little while to get used to but hopefully we will soon get into a new and different routine.
There will be a set of tasks each day. Tasks will be mainly revision and reinforcement. These will be dated and uploaded to Microsoft Teams and can be found in the Files section. Sometimes the tasks might be accompanied with a photo that shows an example. These will be dated and can also be found in Files. If I can help in anyway with these tasks, you can contact me through your child’s Glow e-mail and I will try and respond quickly. If your child is really struggling with a task, there is no pressure to complete it. We can work together on this when schools reopen. As well as tasks that I set, pupils can access Bug Club, Education City and Sumdog as often as they would like. I will be uploading the tasks the night before ready for the next day. To begin with I will also upload onto our P5 class blog.
I hope the weather stays bright and sunny so that pupils can enjoy time outside and with their family.
Thanks again for your continued support and let me know if I can help in any way.
Mrs O’Neil 😊
As part of British Science Week, P5 had a fantastic challenge to complete. We had to use recycled materials to build a grandfather clock. That wasn’t all, we had to have a moving mouse just like the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock!
We explored various ways of making the mouse move but settled on using a circuit which powered a motor with a wheel. I was very impressed with P5’s scientific skills.
Pupils worked in teams to build and decorate their clocks. In their designs they had to ensure there was somewhere for the circuit to sit.
Pupils then created a simple storyboard of the design and manufacturing process and presented their work at assembly. Fantastic P5!
🙂
