P6/7S HOME SCHOOL LEARNING 1 JUNE 20 – WEEK 8

Good Morning P6/7! I can’t believe it is June already despite the Lockdown and the amazing weather. I hope you have had a great weekend and maybe enjoyed meeting another family.  I still have some calls to make this week to certain families so look out for my call. Its always nice to speak to the pupils too. Below is some general information before the new weeks suggested ‘Home Learning’.

General Information

Rights Respecting School

Article of the Week – Article 7

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.

The article helps every child know about their identity including being called your preferred name, having a birth, having a birth certificate, being proud of yourself and your nationality and celebrating your national identity perhaps with a special day, food or music.

In class we would explore this in a variety of possible ways. One way to do this would be to create a decorative stone with your name on it or write all the areas that make you proud of yourself around your name. You could do this on a piece of paper or use chalk on a slab outside for example.

Literacy – Writing – Yearbook P7 Pupils

This week you should continue with the two-week project to create a page for the P7 Yearbook. Emailed to you is the template of the Yearbook page. Pupils will have to take a selfie or ask a family member to take a headshot on a mobile device and upload it, insert and position the picture in their Yearbook page and complete the other sections. Pupils will then upload the finished Yearbook page onto a specific location in Teams. More details on how to do this are available on last weeks ICT lesson.

Literacy – Writing – P6

Continuing our writing from last week, please access the activities in the link below.

Talk for Writing Wk2

Literacy – Reading & Mindfulness

Please continue to read your chosen novel and keep up with current affairs through youth newspapers or Newsround.

For a reading comprehension activity, I have included one about Alexander Fleming. This Famous Scot seems particularly relevant at this moment. There are three levels of challenge which are indicated by the star at the bottom. Click on the link below to access it. Pupils do not need to write their answers but could verbalise them. This sometimes make it easier for them to complete.

Scottish Scientist Alexander Fleming Differentiated Reading Comprehension Activity

Numeracy – MONEY

Previously we spoke to the pupils about profit/loss/loans/etc when we were starting our Enterproise project. We would have then went onto various areas of dealing with money. These would have included;

Credit Cards

Payday loans

Overdrafts

Keeping money safe

Savings

Budgeting

Debt

We also learnt about other areas the pupils were interested in. We use the following website for some lesson ideas and it is worth looking at the parent and teacher resources.

Health & Well-being.

Can you create any questions for Richard Hastings. Rochard Hastings is a Canadian soccer player, who has played for Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Ross County, Grazer AK, MVV Maastricht, Hamilton Academical and Brora Rangers. Richard played 59 times for the Canadian national team and was a member of the Canada side which won the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He will be creating a video for Health Week. The video will have a challenge and he will answer some questions posed. Please email me any questions that you have.

 

Remember I am always available. Please contact me for any issues at all.

Kind Regards,

Mr Stuart
