Hi Primary 4/1

Until I hear from everyone in our class, I will post a short plan of each day on our class blog. Once I know everyone is accessing the Google Class successfully I will stop posting here.

As this is just a blog and open for everyone to see there will be limited  content.  I will put up as much as I can to help guide your day.

Monday Targets

Literacy:  Using the Google Doc attached to our Google Class I would like you to use all your VCOP skills to write a few paragraphs about your weekend. Remember V for ambitious vocabulary, C for great connectives, O for different sentence openers and P for punctuation. Remember in the Tools option you can use Voice Record function to help with your spelling.
I have attached the VCOP posters we usually have in our real classroom.

As we are going to be doing lots of learning online, I think it is important to remember how to stay safe online.
Please read the attached  books and share your thoughts on how Digi Duck stayed safe and used the internet responsibly.
Use the attached Jamboard on Google Class.

Use the following link    https://www.childnet.com/resources/digiduck-stories/digiducks-big-decision/digiducks-big-decision-ebook

Please copy your spelling words into your homework jotters.
Continue to practise your spelling words using the different strategies at the front of your jotters.

Hi Primary 4/1

Our Google Classroom has been up and running since August, so we are ready for learning at home. Just in case anyone is having problems I sent home lots of information in your learning packs.

For logging on to Google Classroom you may require our class code. These are inside  the home learning packs. You may also require your Glow login email. Your glow login is a username starting with gw.

Your should know this by heart as we use this everyday. I also sent it home a second copy of the children’s  Education City login and Sumdog Login.

If it asks for your glow email, this is your glow username followed by @er.glow.scot NOT @glow.sch.uk as is written in your home learning pack. This is incorrect and will not work. For example gw15surnameforename@er.glow.scot

To access Google Classroom you have two options:

1. Go to the Glow Login website. Use your ‘gw’ login. Scroll down and select the app for Google Classroom.

2. Download the Google Classroom App on your smartphone/ tablet/ iPad. Use our class login code or your ‘gw’ email to access our classroom.

I cannot post the class code on here for security reasons. Please share with families in our class to help us work together.

Miss Galloway

After reading the adventures of DigiDuck we worked in groups to make a poster showing all the ways to stay safe on the internet. If you wish to discuss this more at home visit the website. www.childnet.com

Great weaving skills in Primary 4!

Today Primary 1 and 4 enjoyed reading the book Digi 🦆 Duck.  We explored that you have to be very careful when you are using the internet. You can’t always be sure who you are talking to. The lesson we learnt today was… never share your personal information online. You should always tell a trusted adult if something makes you unhappy or unsure when you are online.
Primary 1 and 2 now have Digi Duck posters in their class to help them remember not to share personal information.

We have started using a sentence of the day to practise and apply our skills in grammar and punctuation.

We  analyse the sentence to identify verbs, adverbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives and connectives. Then we up level the sentence by using our VCOP strategies. This gives us daily input on all the skills we have learnt in Primary 4.

Today we applied our designing and building skills. We used our knowledge of 3D shapes to design the layout of the new nursery building. We enjoyed looking at the plans and now understand what it means to be an architect. In term 3 we will be working with the building company to explore materials and sustainable ways to build new structures.

Today we were learning to make an inference . We combined our previous knowledge and the evidence from the crime scene to suggest a possible explanation.
We used the clues from the scene and believe Mr Cummings was practising his XA factor routine and accidentally knocked over the bin. We know it was a man because the footprints were 👣 very big.

The wig and glasses looked like part of a costume and the duster was  used to clean the class. Another clue it was Mr Cummings.
