P6 Daily Plan – Monday 23rd March 2020

Hi Everyone!

We hope you are doing well and have enjoyed the lovely weather over the weekend, especially if you were confined to your gardens.

Each day we will post the P6 daily plan on the P6a blog. Activities will be posted on your Seesaw account with resources. You are able to respond to the activity if you have any work to share.

We understand this is all new, and there may be a lot going on in your homes during the day. Please do what you can but do not feel that everything MUST be done. The health and wellbeing of everyone in your home is the most important thing right now.

If you were absent last week and did not receive your educationcity password  by email there are details of how to access this on Seesaw also.

We have also included some optional activities to break up the day or put into your schedule if you prefer to work to a plan. These should be quite fun, we will be enjoying them in our homes too.

Take care everyone,

P6 Teachers

Mrs Horne, Mrs Jamieson, Miss Flynn, Mrs Smart and Mrs O’Neill

Homework 16 March 2020, Due 20 march 2020

Spelling – Access https://www.spellingcity.com/users/MrsKHorne, select the correct lists use spellingcity’s games to help you learn your words. Each week you are also to learn five words that you have selected yourself with the spelling rule taught on Mondays. These will not be on spelling city. Instead, practise the rule making your words using active strategies (writing words on a partners back to guess, make with pasta or playdoh, rainbow writing, cheerleading the words etc…). You do not hand evidence of this in to school. It should be short, fun and engaging. You will complete a short dictation which uses words of a similar difficulty, though not the 5 specific words, which follow the spelling rule on Fridays.

**This week is week 16,  unstressed vowels**

Numeracy – Spheres – Problem Solving – Open Boxes (On paper or edit and respond online using seesaw) .

Cylinders – Algebra – Complete the given calculations, and create calculations to help you solve the word problems. (Write on sheet given in class, or edit and respond online using seesaw)

Cuboids – HLU 49 – Measure – Weight (Write on correct side of sheet given in class. Bring in on Thursday, even if incomplete!)

Pyramids – Money – See seesaw. Login with glow username (gw….. @glow.sch.uk). If it asks for a code contact me through Teams Chat.

Other – Following on from our Point of View and Purpose text last week, this week you should learn more about working in the kitchen. Help your family to prepare food safely, clean surfaces, hands and equipment, use kitchen utensils and devices as well as helping to cook this week.

****Check you have access to Seesaw at home. Respond to ‘Homework 1’ with a comment, photo or video over the week. ****

Class Photo Day (Not)

A number of the class today came to school expecting a class photo to be taken. Although this was not the case we took a photo anyway, so no one left disappointed. I am sure we will  manage to take another amateur class photo before the end of the year, when we have no absences.

World Book Day

We showed props and acted out events from our favourite non-fiction and fiction books. These included Jurassic World texts, Jacobite Rebellion stories, crime fiction, Scottish characters, football tales and  fantasy novels to name a few.

Blue sky for P.E.

Emma – It felt really good to be outside in the nice weather. We worked in teams and played passing games. My groups strategy was to stay as far away from the other team as possible to give plenty of space to pass and so that they couldn’t intercept.

Hot Seat

Hot Seating is when a character is questioned by the group about his or her background, behaviour and motivation. The method may be used for developing a role or further understanding of a character.

Magnus – We took turns to choose characters to put in the hot seat. We asked them questions and it was fun to see what people thought about different characters and why they were like that. I went in the hot seat as Auggie and I found it fun but I had to think of different answers.

Fairtrade Fortnight

Dear Parent/Carer,

Our Fairtrade Pupil Group members have been working very hard to promote Fairtrade Fortnight which starts on Monday 24 February and finishes on Sunday 8 March 2020.

As preparation for Fairtrade Fortnight the Primary 4 pupil group members conducted a survey to find out which treats children would like to buy at the tuck shop we are planning to run. A subgroup of Primary 5s created posters to advertise the tuck shop around the school. The older members of the pupil group will be giving a speech and showing a PowerPoint to the rest of the school to raise awareness of Fairtrade. The Primary 7 members created a rota for the tuck shop (see below).

We would like to invite children to bring in cash to buy a Fairtrade treat from the tuck shop. We will be offering Geobake chocolate chip cookies, a variety of Divine chocolate bars and Fairtrade Jellybeans. The tuck shop will be running from Monday 2nd March until Friday 6th March. All items are £1.10 so please send your child with the correct amount if possible.

  • Monday 2nd March – Primary 1 and Primary 2
  • Tuesday 3rd March – Primary 3
  • Wednesday 4th March – Primary 4 and Primary 5
  • Thursday 5th March – Primary 6
  • Friday 6th March – Primary 7

Fair Trade Tuck Shop

Yours sincerely,

Fairtrade Pupil Group
