February Homework

This is your homework for the next two weeks.

Remember to borrow a book from class if you need it for the reading task.

The standard of homework in the class has been improving in recent weeks so please keep up the great effort in every task.

Non fiction reports

Today we started looking at non fiction texts. We wrote facts about non fiction texts on the whiteboard.

Here are some of them-

Carmen- You can sometimes get a glossary which is like a mini dictionary.

Angus Mac – A non fiction text is facts.

Grace – There are usually photos or diagrams with the text.

We then looked at the book and read a text about elephants. After that we made question hands. On the question hands we had to write 5 different questions about elephants which could be answered from the text. Once we had done that we wrote the answers on the back.

Here are some of our questions-

What is a female elephant called?

How many kg of food do elephants eat in a day?

What makes African and Asian elephants different?

How big is an African elephant’s ear?

At what age do elephants leave their parents?

Our thoughts on this activity

Matthew – I think it is strange how it is calle non-fiction when it is fact.

Keavie – I enjoyed learning interesting facts about elephants.

Kali – I enjoyed learning that a female elephant is called a cow.

Homework Jan – Feb

Here is the home work for the next two weeks.

You wrote your phonemes on the sheet as appropriate for your group.

Blue – j phoneme words (j, ge, dge)

Red – oo phoneme words (oo, u-e, ew, ue, u)

Remember to try hard with your presentation in your jotters. Each piece of work should have date and a title. It looks really good if you underline these with a ruler.

Ask an adult to sign each piece of homework you do.

Today we used the handbell to play along to Auld Lang Syne on ABC music. We had to ring our bell at the correct time in each bar. Look at our video

Glasgow Coat of Arms

Our new topic is Glasgow. Today we looked at the Coat of Arms and found out what each part of it represents.

There are 5 main parts to the coat of arms.

They are:

The bird that never flew

The tree that never grew

The fish that never swam

The bell that never rang

St Mungo is the man at the top of the coat of arms.

St Mungo is the patron saint of Glasgow.The tree, bird, fish and bell represent the 4 miracles that St Mungo performed in Glasgow.

Matthew – I enjoyed finding out the facts and creating a poster.

Angus – I enjoyed working with my partner on this task.

Grace – I enjoyed finding out things about Glasgow I didn’t know.

Do your best work!
