Technology

Remember to bring in your prototype on Tuesday. You should also be able to explain –

*How did you make it?

*How long did it take to make?

*How much did it cost to produce?

Active Spelling

In class you have chosen your spelling words level from the ‘Chilli Challenge’.  You have to find 5 additional words at that level. You may use the internet or a dictionary to help you.

The spelling rule will change every week.

In addition to this, we would like you to practise this rule by choosing to complete two tasks found on the ‘Spelling Menu’.  Please choose different ones from last week. Please record your words in your Literacy Homework Jotter and be prepared to share these on Friday. All other tasks do not need to be recorded in the jotter as these should be active and enjoyable and will not be checked over by the teacher.

Book Week Scotland

This week is Book Week Scotland and I would like you to challenge yourself to read as many nights as possible and/or undertake extreme reading (this is when you read in extreme places or at least very unusual places)J.

Enterprise Homework – (due in on Tuesday 19th November)

Primary 5 are beginning a new Enterprise topic where each class will run their own Christmas Market. Your task is to create a prototype of a product which could be made and sold by your class.  Your product should be seasonal and should not cost too much to make (no more than about £1 per individual product). We want to raise as much money as possible; therefore your product should be of high quality (“shop standard”) and appeal to your target market. Please note that you should only make one item to bring in and show your class.  We will then vote for the best and the winning designs will be re-produced in larger quantities for selling. Food for thought: Try searching Pinterest or Google for ‘Children’s Christmas crafts’. Good luck!

Literacy homework – Chilli Challenge (due in on Friday 15th November)

In addition to this, we would like you to practise this rule by choosing to complete two tasks found on the ‘Spelling Menu’.  Please choose different ones from last week.

Numeracy homework –

It’s competition time!!!

This week for homework,  all children in Primary 3 – 7 are being asked to take part in the new Sumdog competition ‘East Renfrewshire Maths Contest’.

It started today and finishes at 8pm on Thursday 14th November.

Here are some things to keep in mind during the contest:

• Students can play at any time.
• For the score to count, the East Renfrewshire Maths Contest activity must be showing in the green panel on the left of the student’s screen when they click to start each game.
• Their scores are based on correct answers.
• The class score is the average of the scores from all students from that class who take part.
• To appear on the leaderboard, at least 10 students from a class need to play.
• As some students have limited computer access, every student is limited to 1000 contest questions. However, their free logins let them keep playing other activities afterwards.

Good luck P5a – I know you can do it!!

Monday 23^rd September  – Family Numeracy and Maths Homework Challenge

Families can choose one activity (or more if you wish) from the grid and work on this together over the next two weeks.  How you record and share your homework is up to you! There are some suggestions on the grid but please feel free to be as inventive as you wish.  This homework will last two weeks. On Friday 4^th October, the eldest child in each family should bring in their family homework and the pupils will get a chance to share their activity with the school community.  The homework should be carried out as a family and each activity can be simplified or extended to allow everyone to take part.  There are lots of real life challenges to allow our pupils to see the benefit numeracy and maths has on our everyday life.  These activities are designed to be fun, active and engaging for all our learners.  It will not only promote their numeracy, but it will also develop their problem solving, creativity and collaboration skills.

Being numerate helps us to function responsibly in everyday life and contribute effectively to society. It increases our opportunities within the world of work and establishes foundations which can be built upon through lifelong learning. Numeracy is not only a subset of mathematics; it is also a life skill which permeates and supports all areas of learning, allowing young people access to the wider curriculum.    (Education Scotland)
