VSCENE UPDATE- So sorry our meeting couldn’t get started everyone. I made lots of attempts to get in, as did Mrs MacColl but we think there’s an error in the system. We’ll try again tomorrow. I’m disappointed.
Good morning wee superstars! I got another batch of excellent work sent yesterday. I was also delighted to have emails waiting for me this morning with work from last week to look through.
I have to apologise for a wee mistake I made in the number pattern task yesterday! I didn’t even spot it. Well done to those who corrected it.
VIDEO CALL
I am excited about our video call at 11am today. I had a wee trial run with Mrs Baillie yesterday and we managed to get logged in fine by following the link and entering the code. The details for the Vscene call are in a post below and the meeting PIN codes will be sent by text. Alternatively you can just use the big button to the right and put in the details.
Today we will focus on how to use Vscene. When asked to enter name, please type your child’s name. We will make sure everyone knows how to switch their mic on and off. You will be asked to keep your mic switched off until it is your turn to speak and we will do some turn taking games to get warmed up.
You can put your camera on if you want to but that is your choice and you will never be asked to turn your camera on.
Reading
Spelling
Today we are using our Elkonin boxes to spell out the ea spelling words. I have made a sway to help get you started and to introduce your new common words. Watch the sway then write all of your spelling words into your elkonin boxes. Practise reading and writing your new common words which are each, eat, year and ask.
Spelling- Elkonin boxes and Common Words
Maths
A wee bit of work today on understanding ‘before’ and ‘after’. In our mental maths task we have some revision of days of the week and months of the year that ask for before and after. You will also be asked for numbers before and after. I’ve made a queue of toys. Who is before Buzz? Who is after Jessie? Can you make a queue of toys and make your own before and after questions about it?
Now try some before and after number work. Remember, you don’t need to print tasks out; writing them in your jotter is perfect!
Your mental maths task is covering time, 2D and 3D shape, number patterns and before and after. Copy the answers into your jotter.
Have a great day and remember to email me if you need any help with anything and if you have work to send.
Mrs D 🙂
