Good morning P4A. I hope you are well and happy. I am missing you all.

Your tasks for today are as follows:

LITERACY

As you know, our new Topic is Weather.  So, today, I should like you to research Weather and take some notes. You do not need to upload this to Teams but be prepared to use your notes for work for tomorrow.

I also attach a Weather Wordsearch so that you can practise your spelling of Weather words.

NUMERACY

As you know, our current, out of number,  Maths Topic is Data Handling. Last week, we looked at Pictograms and you all did a fab job on the tasks.

This week, we are looking at Bar Graphs. I attach a short video on Bar Graphs and a Workbook Page to be completed.

Please ask Mr Dearie or I if you don’t understand.

BarGraphVideo

FRENCH

Lastly, please review the attached Weather words (you may need to research some of them). Then please make a poster with words and pictures demonstrating your understanding of these French words.

French Weather Poster

I shall be online from 10.30 till 11.30 and 1.30 till 2.30 if you need help or a chat.

REMEMBER, you must have notified Mrs Marshall or I if you are using eportfolios.  Otherwise, these shall not be checked.

Have a super day.

Mrs Green

Good morning P4. I hope you are all finding the assignments manageable and are having fun with them. There should be lots to keep you occupied. Today is Numeracy Day so if you have completed all the tasks set you can do Sumdog, go on numeracy websites such as Topmarks, play some card games or make up a numeracy scavenger hunt of your own- the options are endless. Remember to challenge yourself and have fun.

I will be on here between 11-12pm and 2-3pm to answer any questions you have regarding work or if you just need a chat.

Remember to try and upload all your work by 4pm today- if you don’t manage that don’t worry as you have until 4pm on Friday to complete what you can.

This morning I’ll ask Kate to make up a fun morning starter challenge and you can post it in the Playground Channel.

You can also go on to YouTube and go to ‘Mr Colvin The Daily Daft’ and try out today’s challenge. Have fun and I look forward to seeing all your work and the activities you have been doing.

*Can I please remind you that if you do upload your work on your e-portfolio that you let me know through the post on Teams*

 

 

 

 

Good morning P4. Looking forward to another day of learning and seeing what you all are doing. Your assignments for today and tomorrow will go live at 10am and the hand-in time will be 4pm on Wednesday for all of them. I have put the closing date for them to be Friday 15^th May at 4pm. I will be on here between 11-12pm and 2-3pm to answer any questions you have regarding work or if you just need a chat.

Yesterday I set Thomas the task of giving you a daily challenge and it was such a shame that nobody participated in this. Let’s try again today and see if you can look at his challenge on the Playground Channel. It will only take you a few minutes and is good fun. You can also go on YouTube and do Mr Colvn’s Daily Daft Challenge. Have a fun day.

*Can I please remind you that if you do upload your work on your e-portfolio that you let me know through the post on Teams*

 

Numeracy Tuesday 12^th & Wednesday 13^th May

Complete the number problem (257 – 124) or (68 – 37).  Remember to write the title of which strategy you are using in each box.  You can write directly on the Number Talks sheet below and upload or write on a piece of paper, take a photo and upload it to your assignments.  You can choose from:

*place value partitioning

*keep a constant difference

Use the link below to help remind you of the strategies.

 

Look at the worksheets from yesterday on subtraction with exchanging sums and complete some more of them.  If you have finished them all  then you can make up some of your own if you want- remember to try and challenge yourselves.

Again, don’t worry about doing on squared paper- plain paper will be fine. *Remember to show your workings, not just the answer.

 

Numeracy Day Wednesday 13th May

1. Try to make up some of your own games for numeracy for you and your family.  I have included some pictures of games to give you some inspiration.

They do not need to be completed until Wednesday giving you a few days to complete. Tuesday and Wednesday’s assignments will go live at 10am tomorrow, just as we did last week.

Please keep in mind what a great job you are all doing and all you can do is try your best. Do what you can when you can and I am here if you need to chat about anything.

What I look forward to each day is to see how well you are getting on and for you to share your news and pictures about what you have been up to. I think it is really important for us all to stay in touch so please remember to say hi when you come online. I think it would be fun if we nominate someone to come up with a daily fun check-in challenge to complete each day so I would like to nominate Thomas this morning.  Post on the Playground Channel and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Climate Explorers

What are the major climate zones of the world?

Look at the link below and watch the short video clip (04:48).  Give a brief summary on what ‘climate means’ and write how many different climate zones there are and how they differ.  You can record this information any way you like:

*paragraph

*fact file

*word processed

We will add to this over the coming weeks to make up a little topic folder on ‘Weather and Climate Zones’.

Marina Ventura’s Climate Explorers

Top tip- the first video you will see at the top of the link you have to press to watch, however the exact same clip a little further down starts playing straight away.  If you click the first video as soon as you go in they will both start playing together at different times.  Either watch the clip further down or pause it so you can watch the one that comes up first.  They are both the same so if doesn’t matter which one you watch.

*Only look at the first part this week.  Next week we’ll be finding out about how and why climates change.

Good morning P4A. Hope you are all well and enjoying this nice sunshine. Remember, tomorrow is a holiday,  which is nice!
