***Hi everyone ***  I have added a new link for the time game as some boys and girls are unable to access Twinkl.

https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/math/time/clock-splat-game/

Good morning boys and girls.  It’s Wednesday already!  I hope you are enjoying completing your tasks at home.

We have a new sound today!  Click below to find out which one it is.

Spelling & Phonics 13.01.2021

I hope you enjoyed the counting in 5’s song yesterday.  I know how much you all love to sing, so  have added another today.  You will notice that all of the numbers end in 5 or 0 – the pattern for 5’s.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ4jV14Oz5I

If you are able to, print out the following number square (or maybe an adult could help you make one) and colour the pattern of 5’s.  What do you notice?  Continue to practice counting in 5’s today.

Number square to 100

Last day Sabrina was talking about  minutes and today she is asking what you could do in an hour.  When you have PE time at school it lasts for an hour and when it is lunch time it lasts for a bit longer than an hour. Hours are a much bigger measure of time.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zv4mvk7

The big hand tells us minutes and moves quickly, and the small hand moves more slowly and tells us the hour when we are reading the time on an anologue clock.  You could add a big hand and a small hand to your clock you have made at home.  Below is a time game today where you have to read the correct time.  When the big hand is at the 12, and the small hand is pointing to a number, this is an o’clock time.  We have practiced o’clock times in class, so I am keen to see if you can remember.

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/go/resource/tg-ga-178-whats-the-time-mr-wolf-game

Health & Wellbeing

There is a nice story for you to listen to today.  In class we talked about how to be kind to each other and you made lots of lovely suggestions which formed part of our classroom rules.  They included helping, sharing, caring for each other and being friendly and considerate.  You could make a kindness cup at home using a brightly decorated paper cup or something similar.  Add notes to it while we are not at school.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kAo4-2UzgPo

Please continue to practice The Wee Rid Motor when you have time.  Have a good day everyone.  I am looking forward to seeing some of your hard work.

Today you will continue to find out about Time.  The programme is about minutes.  Yesterday you completed a Health & Wellbeing exercise challenge which lasted 5 minutes.  Was it a long or short challenge?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z6hr7nb

Which devices could you use to measure 5 minutes?  Did you find out how many little lines are between the numbers on a clock?  Add some to the clock you made yesterday.  Have a go challenge – starting at zero, what number can you write up to in 5 minutes?

You are going to practice counting in 5’s by singing ‘Counting by 5’s.’  Listen to it then sing along.

Numeracy

Numeracy begins with an activity in our messy maths jotter. You can choose between ‘Green for go’ or ‘Pink for think’. Using only the numbers below create your own addition calculations (no subtraction today) and work out the answer. Remember to use things like a whiteboard, number line, cubes and so on to help you work out the answers.

Green for go

1 5 0
 9 3 2
7 18 11

 

Pink for think

95 14 75
31 16 2
42 11 26

 Today we will continue with some more revision.

  • Recite numbers forwards and backwards to 20/50/100
  • Count forwards and backwards in 2’s,5’s and tens.
  • Order random numbers to 20/50/100. Ask your grown up to give you no more than five numbers that you need to put in the correct order smallest to largest and then largest to smallest.
  • Previously you have learned about odd and even numbers. Today head to YouTube and read this story all about odd and even and tomorrow we will complete some odd and even activities.

 

Literacy

Comprehension

Usually in class you would complete questions that relate to your reading book, since it is the first week back you do not have a reading book so instead you can read and answer questions all about elephants.

(If you have access to Twinkl here is the link https://content.twinkl.co.uk/resource/44/6a/t-e-2550266-ks1-all-about-elephants-differentiated-reading-comprehension-activity-aged-5-7_ver_3.pdf?token=exp=1610373580~acl=%2Fresource%2F44%2F6a%2Ft-e-2550266-ks1-all-about-elephants-differentiated-reading-comprehension-activity-aged-5-7_ver_3.pdf%2A~hmac=e7327f79367c8a5cec0e8adde455230b5b7a1670fc1e79647b67313ee2233623 )

If you do not have access if will upload the text and questions. If you are in the yellow group then you should read an answer the first text. If you are in the purple group then you should try the second or third text and then answer the questions. If you’re not sure which group you are then please send me an email.

 

comprehension click on the word comprehension to access the activity.

Spelling

Each day (Monday-Thursday) you should be looking at your tricky words and phonemes. Why not try to make them a different way each day?

For example

Monday Rainbow writing
Tuesday Play dough
Wednesday Look, cover, write and check
Thursday Shaving foam/sand

 

 

Reading

Red Group

Your last book was Egyptian adventure or The Rainbow machine. This week your new book is The Evil Genie, this is a great story all about Floppy and his unfortunate adventure. This can be accessed via YouTube.

 

Orange Group

Previously this group were reading The magic key and Roy at the fun park. Your new book is The Dream this can be accessed via YouTube.

 

Green Group

Previously you were reading The toys’ party and A new dog. Your new book this week is ‘What a bad dog!’

 

Blue Group

Previously you were reading Lost in the jungle and The Lost Key, your new reading book is Red Planet. This can be accessed via YouTube.

Health and Wellbeing

At the moment school is a bit different as we are all working from home, however I would like you to set yourself a target, it may be that you have a target each week or month. Your target can be for any area of the curriculum. Perhaps you will set yourself the target of always beginning your writing at the start of the line and writing to the end of the line. Perhaps your target is to count to 20 in 2’s. It can be anything you want to aim for. Talk to your grown up at home about what you would like to work on. Then each week on a Friday you could tell me something you have done that week that you are really proud of. This might be something that is helping you move towards achieving your target or it might be something else. I can’t wait to see all the things you are achieving.

Remember to keep reading over the poem ‘Mince and Tatties’ ready for our Scottish fortnight beginning next week.

Primary 3b 20/21

P3B Scottish Fortnight

Leave a comment

In celebration of Burns Night and our annual Scottish Fortnight, the children are being asked to learn a short Scottish poem.

Please remember, P3 take part in the whole school Scots Poetry Competition and the shortlisted 5 children will present their poem to the school, thereafter judging takes place to award a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for every class.

Please learn the following poem,

Twa Leggit Mice

My mither says that we hae mice
That open air-ticht tins
And eat her chocolate biscuits
And cakes and siclike things.

Nae doubt it is an awful shame
That mice should get the blame
It?s really me that rypes the tins
When left my lane at hame

But jings I get fair hungert
And biscuits taste sae nice
But dinna tell my mither for
She thinks it is the mice

 

Use the following tips to help your presentation –

 

  • Speak clearly and audibly, remember pace of delivery – don’t rush to finish!
  • Stand smart and don’t fidget
  • Face the audience and give good eye contact
  • To bring your poem presentation alive, you may put in actions.

 

We can’t wait to see you and hear your poems when we return to class.
