Hi Primary 7,
Sorry that I won’t get the chance to see you all today but I hope that you are all tucked up and cosy at home in this dreadful weather. Here is your plan for today. If you are in touch with anyone without Internet access then maybe you could remind them about their paper copy of the plan (with the snowman in the middle) and let them know what tasks are on the blog today.
9.00-9.30 Practise your 2 – 10 times table find someone to listen to you saying them or just say them out loud to yourself. Here is a website you might want to use.

9.30-10.30 Read the last few chapters of your novel study or your Rainbow Reading Book. Write a summary of a character, about 200 words, include information about the way they look and behave. Draw a labelled illustration to match. Complete this on paper.
10.30-1100 Practise your poem ‘The Ballad of Janitor McKay’ and the song ‘Auld Lang Syne’. Google search ‘Address to the Toothache’ by Robert Burns and have a read over this. It is quite tricky. Let me know what you think!
11.15-12.15 We have been working on line graphs. Create a graph charting the temperature in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, London and Portsmouth today. You will find the information on the the Internet or on the weather forecast. Write 5 questions you could ask someone about what you have found. (Take a note of the correct answers.) Complete this on paper.
1.00-2.00 List 5 famous Scots from the past and 5 famous Scots from the present. Choose 1 or 2, research them and write 10 facts about them and about why they are famous. Please post this on our blog or complete on paper.
2.00-3.00 We are working on creating new toys this week as part of our enterprise work. Think about the toy that your group have designed, create a radio advert and a poster advert for it. Be prepared to share your work tomorrow at school.
