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.
All My Other Learning
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:
