Hello Primary 3/4, I hope that you and your families are well and enjoying family time together. Please find below this week’s home learning tasks.  Please do what you can and try to have fun doing it but remember the most important thing is to stay safe and well.

Literacy & English
1) This weeks phonic sound is “oa” and your words to practice reading and spelling are: boat, foal, coat, road, float, loan and goat. Some ideas for you to practice these words could be to write them 3 times in your red home learning jotter, put them into sentences or practice spelling them out loud. If you want to challenge yourself further, try to think of 5 different oa words.
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) I am sure that you have been watching different films and television programmes. Choose a character from something you have watched and write a character description of them in your home learning jotter. Aim to write around 8 sentences to describe what they look like and their personality. You may draw a picture too if you wish. Aim to include a range of adjectives and underline these in blue if you can.

Numeracy & Maths
4) Go on sumdog and complete the task focused on addition. When you log in and go to play a game, the addition questions will come up first.  Last week’s questions on measure are still there if you have not completed them yet.
5) Go on the website below and practice using money to find change. You have used this website before in class. https://natwest.mymoneysense.com/students/students-5-8/the-change-game/
6) Practice counting up in multiples. Begin with 2s, 5s and 10s and see how far up you can go. Then, try counting up in 3s and 4s. See if you can take this further by counting up in 20s, 50s, 100s, 1000s.
7) Practice finding doubles of amounts. If you are unsure, it may help to draw them out. If you feel ready, you could ask your adult to give you some trickier examples such as what is double 42? What is double 55?
a. What is double 6? Double 6 = 12
b. What is double 9?
c. What is double 3?
d. What is double 7?
e. What is double 11?
f. What is double 13?
g. What is double 22?

All My Other Learning
8) We are learning about minibeasts. Click on the link below to watch a short minibeast video about spiders. https://youtu.be/WUx2qqPUyOI
After you have watched the video, in your home learning jotter, aim to write between 4 and 6 facts that you have learned about spiders. You can draw a picture or a labelled diagram of a spider too.

9) It is important that we keep active and exercise during our time at home. Use the picture below to complete a workout using your name.
