Good Morning Primary 5/6,

May the Fourth be with you! I hope you all had a lovely weekend with your families. Did you get up to anything nice? I have been trying to improve my cooking and baking skills. I made mince ‘n’ tatties, cauliflower soup and a vanilla cheesecake. What should I try next? Have you got any ideas? Maybe you would like to share what you have baked or made in the comments below.

Last week, I posted about the Royal Bank of Scotland doing MoneySense Mondays. You can join them live on Facebook and YouTube for another fun and interactive lesson. This weeks lesson is from 12 o’clock to half past 12 and is focussing on ways to pay for things.

I have created a Spelling , Grammar and Maths task on Sumdog for you this week. This weeks spelling is continued revision of words you have covered in class. You may want to show a variety of spelling tasks off to an adult in your household. We do a variety of fun spelling such as Rainbow, Curly, Capital Letters, Backwards, Pyramid, Upside-Down, Upper and Lower or even Spelling Hangman. You can also create Spelling Sentences or Silly Sentences with your words. An adult may even want to challenge you by giving you a Dictated Sentence! You can access your spelling words on Sumdog but if any of you have difficulty doing this, please let me know!

Our Grammar is focussing on pronouns and adverbs. I have added links below to give you a recap of what pronouns and adverbs are before you practise in games.

Pronouns take the place of nouns in a sentence. For example- ‘him’, ‘her’, ‘them’, ‘he’, she’ or ‘they’

An adverb tells you how something happens, like quickly and slowly.

You can also continue tasks from any of your home learning grids. Have you had a favourite task so far? On Friday, it is the 75th anniversary of VE Day. Click on the link below to watch a short clip on what VE Day and VJ Day were, and the events that led to the war.

I know a lot of you enjoy cracking codes! I have attached a Morse Code activity that you may want to give a try. However, the answers are on the third page so please try your best to not look at them until you have completed the task. Remember you can split the screen for you to have the task on one and the Morse Code Translator on the other.

Stay safe and have a great week,
