Good Morning P4/5!
We have reached week 4! You are all doing so well and as it says at the top I am so proud of you all. I thought we would have a wee shake up this week so make sure you read the timetable to see some new things on it. I am going into school on Wednesday to get some more resources together (just in case). By the end of this week we will have finished the fractions and patterns section of your numeracy booklets, so we will need some new topics soon. Don’t panic! I will keep you right with the work. That also means that we will not have any calls on Wednesday. I will still be looking for you to upload some of your writing to Teams so make sure you read the writing instructions. You are all doing amazing!

Mrs Rowan has uploaded your work onto Teams for you. Let me know if you need help to find it. You will have your usual meeting with her on Tuesday at 11am. I have also assigned a new book on BugClub for you. This week it is: Cars, Cars, Cars. This is a non-fiction so something a little bit different. Remember to do all the bugs.
Writing
This week I will not be online to teach you but I am still expecting you to complete the work and share it on Teams. We are going to create a character this week and next week we will write a paragraph about your character. Follow the instructions below.
-
For the first part of today’s writing session I would like you to choose a character and draw them. It could be a person, animal, monster, alien or anything else you can think of. You might want to use your setting from last week to help you choose what kind of character to draw. I would like you to put in as much detail as you can. Think about what they are wearing, what colour of hair they have, do they have a big nose or wings? Are they tall or short?
-
Next I would like you to go through this PowerPoint—> Creating a Character Profile Powerpoint and have a think about each slide. You can use the attached sheet or just write some notes in your jotter. Creating a Character Profile Activity Sheet. This should help to bring your character to life.
-
Now I would like you to pick something about your character to share on Teams. It might be your picture or one of the categories from the slides, e.g. family, likes/dislikes etc.
Here are some extra resources to help you:
Physical Appearance Word Mat
Adjective Character Word Mat
