We have been doing science experiments to learn about the stages of The Water Cycle. Today was cloud busting day!
We learned what happens in the clouds during the water cycle. When too many water droplets accumulate, they fall in the form of PRECIPITATION. We were amazed at how many drops it took to burst our clouds. Our predictions were way off.
Great fun had by all and super learning too.
Christmas craft has officially started in Primary 4. I just love these snowmen with their cute earmuffs. They will be coming home in time for Christmas.
Hello boys and girls. I hope you are all working hard at home and are enjoying the tasks. Mr. Bunny has been asking me why it’s so quiet in the classroom! He misses watching you all make your spelling words.
Spelling – go & got. Trace the words on the carpet, in the air and on your knee. Practice writing with your spelling partner 3 times. Check spelling and letter formations. Use an old magazine or newspaper and find the letters that make up the words. Cut them out and glue them on your paper.
Today I would like you to write me some news. You can write a sentence (or two) to tell me something you have been doing since I last saw you. Remember it does not matter if you can spell all the words correctly, just try to sound them out with help from an adult. You should be able to spell our common words though and your writing should have a capital letter, full stops and finger spaces. Read over your writing to make sure it makes sense as you work. You can then draw me a lovely picture with lots of super detail to go with your writing.
For Maths today, I have added a couple of games. Please try to play at least one.
There are some tasks on Education City. Click on the yellow duck and enjoy!
P.E. – how many star jumps/bunny hops can you do in one minute?
Play ‘Beans’ Practice the commands with an adult then they can shout them out at random.
Runner bean – run around.
Jumping bean – jump up and down.
Broad bean – make a large shape and stand still.
String bean – make a tall, this shape.
Jelly bean – wobble like a jelly on a plate.
French bean – put a hand on your hip and twirl around saying “ooh la la.”
If you have a ball practice bouncing and catching. Can you improve on your score?
Have a good day everyone and enjoy completing your tasks. Work hard!
Numeracy Thursday 3rd December
Good morning everyone.
For numeracy today, I am setting you a one-minute challenge.
First, ask your grown-up to start the timer, when you think a minute is up as them to stop. Were you close? Ask those who live in your house to try it. Who was the closest?
Next I would like you to estimate how many times you can do each item in the table in one minute. Write down your estimate and then ask a grown-up to time you. Did you manage more or less? Did it feel like a minute? I have left the last box empty, you can think of your own challenge to complete in one minute.
Now you could ask your grown-up to join in? How did they get on?
| Activity | Estimate | Actual |
| Write your name | ||
| hop | ||
| Write the alphabet | ||
| Burpees | ||
Good Morning!
On a Thursday we normally have P.E. Our focus has been on small ball skills (throwing/catching). The children have also been using a small bat and ball to improve their hand-eye coordination. If you have a ball and bat at home you could show your grown-up what we have been working on. Remember to warm up first, perhaps you could be the teacher and lead the warm-up for your family.
We have also explored large ball skills. At home you could show off some of the throws you have been learning. Remember only throw the ball if your partner is ready ( the children can discuss how to show someone you are ready to catch the ball).
If the weather isn’t great why not try some cosmic yoga for kids on Youtube?
Have fun
Wednesday 3rd December
Literacy
Good morning everyone!
Remember to keep looking over your tricky words and phoneme.
On a Thursday, we normally write in our taught writing jotter. We have been focusing on using time words in our writing.
For today I would like you imagine you have gone into a time-travelling machine and ended up in the past – or perhaps, future.
Remember to talk about
Remember to read your story, does it make sense? What about your handwriting? Do you have finger spaces? Have you made sure your letters are the correct size?
I can’t wait to read all your stories.
The children have worked hard over the last couple of weeks researching animals which are found in our beautiful countryside.
This week the Primary 4 children presented their PowerPoints and posters to the rest of the class as their first assessed talk for this session.
We learned about a huge variety of amazing creatures.
I was totally blown away by the effort the children put in and also the
pride they took in their work.
Fantastic everyone.
Miss McCrae 🙂
Oh dear! It seems our elf has gotten himself into a pickle this morning. He must’ve stumbled as he was trying to climb to the top of our Christmas tree, I think he was trying to steal the star from the top. Luckily his foot got caught in one of the branches to stop him from falling to the ground. That would have been a disaster!!
Mr Stewart will be choosing his favourite name for our little elf tomorrow, so make sure you are sending in your name suggestions today.
Good morning P3, I hope you are all well. Here are your tasks for today, don’t forget to send pictures of your wonderful work!
I hope you all have a lovely day!!
