P1/2 Home Learning – 27.5.20

Hi Everyone,

I’ve outlined some ideas for learning activities to complete at home for this week.  I’ve set them out in a different format, I hope this is maybe easier to read and interact with.  Click on the link below for either Primary 1 tasks or Primary 2 tasks.  I hope you’re all staying safe and well.  I continue to miss you all so much! I can’t wait to see you all again.

Primary 3/4 Home Learning – Week Beginning 25th May

Hello Primary 3/4, I hope you and your families are all okay and enjoyed the long weekend. I really miss seeing you all each day at school. Please find below this week’s tasks for you to try and work on. This would have been a “3 day week” if you were in school so just do what you can and try your best.

Literacy and English
1) This weeks phonic sound is “wh” and your words to practice reading and spelling are: what, wheel, whisk, when, why, whisper and whiskers. If you want to challenge yourself further, try to think of 5 different wh words. This week, please choose one of the spelling activities below to practice your spelling.

2) Aim to spend around 20-25 minutes on Bug Club. You could split this into 2 shorter sessions of 10 minutes if you wish. I have made sure that you all have books allocated. Remember to check for any teacher feedback too.
3) Continue to work on your minibeast research task from last week. Remember, you are to decide which minibeast you find out about and how you present your findings. Aim to include: A title, a picture/diagram, at least 5 facts about the minibeast.

Here is a reminder of last week’s video to help you:

Numeracy & Maths
4) Go on sumdog and complete the challenge questions focused on using a calendar. When you log in and go to play a game, the calendar questions will come up first. Last week’s questions on number words are still there if you have not completed them yet.
5) Practice calculations online using the mental maths train game. Please use the link below to practice different calculations. The good thing about this game is that you can choose to focus on addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. Once you’ve chosen, you can then choose which skill to work on.

6) Practice partitioning 3 digit numbers. Think about how these numbers are made – of hundreds, tens and units. For example 482 = 400 + 80 + 2 or 738 = 700 + 30 + 8.
Use the sheet below to help you. You may write your answers into your home learning jotter.

If you feel ready for a challenge, try the sheet below. This time you have to think of different ways of partitioning the same 3 digit number.

7) Minibeast Art – create a piece of art related to our learning on minibeasts. For example, this could be a drawing, a painting, a model, a mask, a collage or any other ideas you have. Here are some ideas to help you get thinking!

8) STEM Challenges – take a look at the STEM challenges below and have a go at any that particularly interest you and your family.

9) Mrs Hill has prepared some tasks for you too:

P2/3 Home Learning 27/5/20

Hello everyone,

I hope you have all had a nice holiday weekend and been able to get outdoors some of the time.  I am posting new home learning activities for you to try this week, remember to just do what you can, these are only suggestions.  The important thing is to stay safe and healthy.  Have a nice week everyone.

Take care, I miss you all.

Mrs McLachlan

Literacy

P2 and P3 – Look at your Active Literacy sounds sheet and practise the new words for the ‘y’ sound.  Most of these words end in ‘y’ but one has the sound in the middle.  Your words for this week are fly, shy, cry, sky, why, dry and myself.  Practise writing the words for that sound in your laminated Elkonin Boxes in your pack and see if you can think of any more words ending in ‘y’.  Write 3 sentences using some of your new words.

Bug Club – Reading

Log on to Bug Club and read 2 of your books.  Ask an adult to help with any tricky words and see if you can find any of your new spelling words in your reading book.  Well done to everyone who has been reading their books.

Writing

For writing this week you are going to make a sandwich for your lunch of your choice.  You will need to ask an adult first if you can do this.  After you have eaten your delicious sandwich you have to write a set of instructions on what you did.  These instructions have to be numbered in the correct order.  You will need to write what you did first for example:-

  1.  I got two slices of bread from the bread bin.

then what you did next

2.  I spread each side with butter.

List in order until you have finished writing your instructions.  We have written instructions in class before, can you remember?

I have attached a link below for a style you can use.  You could either print it or just use it as an idea.

How to Make a Sandwich

Numeracy

P2 – We are going to revise Number Bonds to 20.  This is something we need to keep practising which will help us with mental calculations.  I have attached a link below for you to print the sheets you need.  This is a challenge this week to see if you can complete the easy sheet, the medium or the tricky one.  Some people might want to try all three.

Number bonds to 20

P3 – We are going to be adding a 2 digit number to a 2 digit number using partitioning.  Remember we were trying this in class just before we finished.

Here is an example:-

32 + 26 =

You add the tens then you add the ones.

Try the sums on the attached sheet.  If you can’t print the sheet just copy out the sums that you can see.  If you click on the link you will still see the sheet.

Adding a 2 digit number to a 2 digit number

P2 and P3 – Go on to Topmarks site and go into addition and subtraction.  Play the Blast Off game ‘Count on and Back’.  Start at 30 to 60 then challenge yourself and go up to 60-99.  The link is below.

P2 and P3 – Continue logging on to Sum Dog and playing games.

Stem – I have attached below a 30 Day Lego Challenge Grid.  You can pick what challenges you want to complete this week if you have lego at home.
