Good morning Primary 5

You are doing really well. Keep up the hard work. It was so good to see and talk to you so many of you on Friday. We will have a live meet up again at the same time this week.

When looking at your assignments, remember you can use the immersive reader to read the instructions aloud. This may help you understand what you need to do.

Remember you have an assembly meeting with Mr McCloskey today. The link is posted in our Teams general posts!

I have posted a surprise at the end to this post so keep reading right to the end!

If you can ask mum or dad to read through this post with you to help you understand what you have to do this week.

New Topics

This week we are starting two new areas!

1. Lollipops and Candy Groups you start your novel The Queen’s Nose. Cookie group you start your new Ginn book. All reading tasks are in the usual place – Teams assignments.  I have included some short video clips to help you with the reading tasks. Please listen to them as often as you need.
2. Our new topic starts today!  It is a geography topic we are looking at our own country of Scotland and comparing it with Spain. This week we will focus on developing our knowledge of our country Scotland. These tasks are in the IDL section at the end of this post.

 

Numeracy/Maths – Money

We are continuing our work on money. We are using our addition, subtraction and multiplication skills to answer money word problems. Remember to layout your work neatly and show your working. Please put a heading with each task – A simple – Task 1 or Task 4 etc…helps me work out what work you are handing in.

We are also investigating why it is important to save and plan looking at budgets. I have two tasks connected to this one is an interactive game in three parts. The second is a listening and talking activity with mum or dad. There is a little video in the HWB section for you and your parents to use. Yes money comes under numeracy and health and wealth being. Learning about money is learning to be responsible.

We are continuing with our Angles topic – focusing on right angles and understanding some mathematical language.

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Only use the General Channel to say good morning and to ask any questions about work. 

Last week I was constantly interrupted by silly chat – I have to stop what I am doing to see if someone is needing help and discover it is silly nonsense.

If you wish to chat to each other use the Silly Things channel.

Remember I can see who and what is being said on all channels so be kind.

Planning your learning

We are keeping the green, yellow and blue tasks. I have tried to put more information on the timetables to make it easier to plan. You only need to look at the table for your group so that is only 3 planners.

Your first task every week will be to plan your week.

I have included an alternative planner. The boys and girls in class today thought this might be easier to follow. It is a list of all the tasks you have to do. You tick them off when you have completed each task. Choose the way that suits you and your family.
