Happy Monday P5,
Over the last few days we have been practising our 4x and 8x tables and our knowledge of them is growing every day which is magnificent.
We have also been talking about our emotions and recognising how people show or demonstrate their emotions.
Our new topic is Light and Sound. We attempted an experiment outdoors to measure how far away from our classmates we were when we could hear them whisper, talk normally and shout. There were a lot of other noises outside too, such as the sound of traffic, so we are going to try the experiment again on another dry day.
As you know, week beginning 14th September, is a really short week, so is week beginning 21st September. So, your Homework Activities in this week’s Blog are challenges for both of those weeks.
HOME NUMERACY CHALLENGE
Can you learn the 3x Table?
Here are the 3x Table facts, with 2 challenging facts to learn which are at the end:
0 x 3 = 0
1 x 3 = 3
2 x 3 = 6
3 x 3 = 9
4 x 3 = 12
5 x 3 = 15
6 x 3 = 18
7 x 3 = 21
8 x 3 = 24
9 x 3 = 27
10 x 3 = 30
11 x 3 = 33
12 x 3 = 36
Good Luck!
HOME SPELLING CHALLENGE
Over the last few weeks I have noticed that there are some words which many of us are finding a wee bit tricky, so I thought that, over the next couple of weeks, we could practise spelling them:
1. said
2. were
3. where
4. when
5. because
6. called
7. some
8. going
9. there
10. come
Firstly, practise reading the words aloud. Then, try to practise how to spell these words by playing some of the games which we play in class. You will soon be able to use these words in your writing when you feel happy with your super duper spelling skills.
Have fun,
from,
Miss Steedman
