Home Learning Packs – P4WN 1.6.20  Week 8

Hello P4WN and welcome to week 8 of term 4.

It was great to ‘see’ so many of you at our weekly class team meeting and to play virtual bingo! Well done to our winners but also everyone else for taking part. Our next meeting is this afternoon at 1 pm. (Monday 1^st June)

Numeracy/maths

This week we are focusing on different ways of measuring.

Practical activities you can try:

• Look around your house and find a variety of objects. Order them from longest to shortest. If you have a ruler or tape measure, you could measure the lengths in cm or m and cm. Record the measurements in a list or a table.
• Do the same with the weights. Estimate how heavy the items are and then weigh them if you have scales that you can use. Order them heaviest to lightest. Write the weights in a list or a table.
• Find some containers. Order them from smallest capacity to largest capacity. Make a list of how much they actually hold in litres and millilitres. If you have a measuring jug you might be able to find empty containers e.g. a bucket, a bowl, a paddling pool! Estimate how much water each item will hold and then try to fill it accurately. Record your findings!
• If you have some chalks you could go outside and draw some snakes on the ground and measure them. If you don’t have a ruler (or a metre stick!) you could measure using any unit e.g. hands, feet, books, pens, a broom handle etc. Can you draw a snake 10 hands long, a snake the length of 3 broom handles? Colour them in and send us the photos!

There is a new Sumdog challenge this week related to measurement. There are also worksheets/games allocated for you on Active Maths which would help you practise.

Literacy

• For literacy this week you can choose to do some, or all, of the activities on the new challenge grid below. Continue to read lots of different types of texts and about anything that interests you!
• Literacy challenge grid 2

Health and Wellbeing

• It’s important to keep active for both our mind and our body. This week your task is to take a picture of yourself doing something active and upload a photo to our Teams page. So a bit of ICT in there as well! It can be cycling, playing in the garden, playing football, going for a walk with your family. You can write a little bit about what you were doing, with who, where you went, how long you did it for and how you felt about it all too! Add the information to your photo and upload as well.

 

Health Week

A reminder that information about our annual health week can be found on a separate section on the main page of the school website which will give you more ideas/information about what’s coming up.

• Miss McNab’s weekly challenge is also a great way to keep active and you can find it on the following link to her page on the school website.

Rights Respecting School (RRS)

We are focusing on an article each week and this week’s is:

Definition: Article 7 – birth registration, name, nationality, care.

Every child has the right to be registered at birth, to have a name and nationality, and, as far as possible, to know and be cared for by their parents.

• Draw an identity hand! Draw around one of your hands, write your full name in the thumb area, in the next finger, write your date of your birth, put the country you call home in the next finger. Then in the last two fingers, write the names of two adults who are important for you, like you parents, carers or grandparents. Draw the flag of your nationality on the palm. Finish your picture with your favourite colours or designs.

 

Social Studies

• In Scotland, people live in many different types of houses e.g. terraced, bungalow, flats – even castles!
• Read about Scotland’s different house types using the link below.
• HOUSING
• Can you see your house type there?
  • Then draw or take a photograph, of your own house. Describe its features and who lives in it.
  • Draw a floor plan of any floor in your house. You can use this link to create your own bedroom or another room in the house. Or you can just draw it!
  • https://online.visual-paradigm.com/diagrams/templates/floor-plan/bedroom/kids-bedroom/
  • Design your own dream house! Label the features/materials used to make it. Colour it in and send it to us. Have a great week and let’s hope the sun continues to shine!
