Hello Primary 6.
I have uploaded a range of different activities this week. Please feel free to complete what you can. Remember to read right to the bottom as there is a range of fun activities. If you need any help or clarification on anything please feel free to email me or post on Teams.
We will continue to have a Team talk at 1.30pm each day. This will let us have a catch up and discuss any work that you are unsure of. I will have a different theme for each day with some games and trials of activities thrown in too. Please don’t feel you have to join everyday unless you want to. I would love everyone to try to join at least 1 if you are able to.
We will have a big fat lock down quiz on Wednesday at 1.30pm.
We will have our spelling test at 11am on Friday.

Slides 75-79. We will complete 1 each day. I would love it if you could answer on the chat in Teams. I will post a daily comment to start the discussion and just hit reply. You don’t have to write your answers on paper just type them straight onto Teams.
You can also do these each day if you fancy it.

Challenge – I will set everyone a challenge of 250 questions. This is achievable for the majority of you as that is less than what you have been completing up until now. This will be revision of previous learning.
There are a few people who I need to complete the diagnostic assessment again (this is just to see what you level you are working at, nothing scary). Can I ask these people to focus on maths training and not the challenge. I will email you when it is safe to move over to the challenge. Please check your emails to see if you are one of these people.
Assessment – I have set an assessment for Friday. Try to complete it on Friday however I will keep it running

Birds
I don’t know about you but where I live there are a lot of spring birds out, making nests and singing at all hours of the day. I have added some bird activities if this is something that would be of interest to you. Why not incorporate it into your daily exercise. Try and take some pictures and either email them or post on Teams. Who can find the most of one kind of bird and who can find the rarest bird? Can you find something uncommon that is not included in the materials?
