Good morning / 5th June 2020

Hi everyone,

Our classroom feels so big and empty without you all in it!

Here are a few things to keep you busy-

Mrs Pattie is getting an artist to spray paint a really cool mural in the upper playground and she wants your ideas! What would you like to see on the wall? Think about our school and what it stands for; love, respect, equality and learning. Text your ideas to 0789 449 2119. Watch the video below of cool school murals to get you thinking!

Literacy-

As we all love the famous author Roald Dahl’s books why not sit back and listen to Mr Corrigan reading a few chapters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (link below).

Good morning P5,

As of this week teachers are back in the school building getting it safe and ready for everyone to come back after the summer holiday.

Today’s Tasks-

Literacy-

Using Suffixes Part 2

Watch the second short video clip about the suffix -sion (link below)-

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zr8kwty

The suffix -sion is often used to change a verb into a noun.

For example: Explode becomes explosion.

Spelling rules

The -sion suffix is often added to words that end in de, se, d or s. You need to drop these letter(s) before you add -sion.

For example:

  • divide = division
  • revise = revision
  • expand = expansion
  • express = expression

Complete activity 2 on Bitesize to check how well you understand how to use the  suffix -sion. As a challenge you could then write a new sentence for each word you select, making sure to spell it correctly.

Health and Wellbeing-

Did you have a look at the powerpoint about healthy eating I posted yesterday? If not here is the link again.

Why not keep a food journal for a week to see how healthy you really are. I will do it too. Remember no cheating, you must record all crisps and chocolate.

Good morning P5 / 1st June 2020

Hi boys and girls,

It’s the month of June already! The sun is shining, please make sure you go outside and enjoy it.

Today’s Tasks-

Literacy-

Using Suffixes 

suffix is a letter or a group of letters that can be added to the end of a word to change its meaning.

Watch the first short video clip about the suffix -ous (link below)-

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zr8kwty

Did you notice that there are spelling rules when using the suffix -ous?

Adding the suffix -ous turns a noun into an adjective. It means ‘full of’.

For example: Dangerous means ‘full of danger’.

Spelling Rules Examples
When you add -ous to a word ending with ‘e’, drop the ‘e’, then add -ous. Adventure becomes adventurous.
When you add -ous to a word ending in ‘y’, replace the ‘y’ with ‘i’, then add -ous. Fury becomes furious.
When you add -ous to a word that ends with ‘our’, ‘our’ becomes ‘or’, then add -ous. Humour becomes humorous.

Complete the activity below to check how well you understand how to use the  suffix -ous.

Health and Wellbeing-

Have a look at the powerpoint about healthy eating (link below) and tomorrow I will set you a task.
