Hello Primary 3/4!
I hope that you and your families had a lovely Easter break and have been enjoying the amazing sunshine we have been getting. Below, you will find a selection of home learning tasks for you to try to work on this week.

1) This weeks phonic sound is “ea” and your words to practice reading and spelling are: speak, clean, steal, team, stream, eat and wheat. Some ideas for you to practice these words could be to write them 3 times in your red home learning jotter (in your folder), put them into sentences or write them in rainbow writing. If you want to challenge yourself further, try to think of 5 different ea 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) In your home learning jotter, on a blank page draw a picture of something you have been doing that you have really enjoyed (eg baking cakes, going for a family walk, watching a movie). On the lined page next to it, write some sentences to describe it. Try to include adjectives and underline them in blue if you can.

4) In maths, we were learning about estimating and measuring. Go on sumdog and complete the task focused on measure. When you log in and go to play a game, the measure questions will come up first.
5) Practice your 2x, 5x and 10x table. You could copy these into your home learning jotter for extra practice. If you feel ready, try the 3x and 4x table too.
6) In your home learning jotter, write out the fact families for the numbers below (the first one is done for you)
a. 7, 2, 9 = 7+2=9, 2+7=9, 9-2=7, 9-7=2
b. 4, 6, 10 =
c. 5, 8, 13 =
d. 17, 5, 12 =
e. 11, 5, 6 =

7) We are going to be learning about minibeasts. If you have a garden, or when you are on your daily walk, go on a minibeast hunt. In your jotter, draw a picture of any minibeasts you find. You could challenge yourself further by writing some sentences to tell me more. For example, I found a slug on the garden path.

8) Mrs Hill has prepared some music activities for you

Hello Primary 3/4!
I hope that you are all okay and staying safe and happy at home. Happy Easter! I hope that you all have a lovely Easter. I am sure you will have a great time with your families and be sure to be eating lots of Easter chocolate!
Here are a few wee ideas that you might wish to try out during the Easter break:
• Design and create an Easter card for someone in your family. You could look on google images for some design ideas and inspiration. When you’re on your daily walk, you could post the card to somebody in your family who you don’t live with.

• Easter and Spring are the times of new beginnings. Draw a Spring themed picture – how many things linked to Spring/Easter can you think of?

• Easter Baking with an adult – you could help to measure out and weigh the ingredients then have lots of fun decorating the biscuits/cakes. Don’t forget the best part – eating them! Yum!

• https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/easter-kids This website has a list of different simple recipes and ideas. Perhaps you could try one or two.

• https://youtu.be/NGEWHkCIrjY is a great YouTube video with 7 different ideas for Easter Crafts that you can try.

Take care of yourself and each other and I hope to see you when we can,

Hello Primary 3/4!
I hope that you are all keeping well and staying safe at home. I missed seeing you all last week, hearing all your wee stories and learning together.
Each Monday I will post on here to keep in contact with you and your families and let you know what tasks/activities are set for the week.

This week I would like you to keep working on the home learning pack that I sent home to you. This was to last you for around two weeks.

I have been checking Bug Club and Sumdog every day. Well done to those of you who went on last week. I enjoyed seeing how you got on with your bugs and I was happy to see some people had completed the sumdog task I had set. This week’s sumdog tasks focus on the times tables and money. Don’t worry if you completed these last week – you can enjoy playing the games that come after!

There are lots of fun things online you can be doing too – PE with Joe Wicks, online stories and virtual tours of zoo’s! I hope you are enjoying these if you’ve been tuning in.

I hope you have a good week Primary 3/4. Keeping working on your home learning packs, practice your reading on Bug Club your numbers on Sumdog and have fun with your families.

Take care of yourself and each other and I hope to see you when we can,
