Primary 4/3 2020

Good Morning all,

I hope you had a lovely long weekend with your families and enjoyed some of the great weather we had!

Onto another week please see below the tasks that I have set for both the blue and red group.

This week I hope to film some short videos over on the teams to help with home schooling activities and also because I am conscious you have probably all forgotten the sound of my voice! Keep an eye out for updates!

Thanks to everyone who has shared any piece of work on teams or through email, I look forward to hearing from you all.

Any questions, concerns or queries just let me know!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Miss Taylor 🙂

Hi there,

Just incase anybody is looking for books to read at home, maybe you have finished the book you were currently reading or you are struggling to pick a book  for you child’s reading ability/level.

Below is a link to a website called Oxford owl on this website you can access lots of Oxford Reading Tree books.

Once you click on the link, there is a button to register at the top of the page. Register as a parent and this will give you access to the free eBook library. You can filter the books by age and find an appropriate book for your child. Most of the books have guidance in the front cover and at the back on things you can ask your child before and after reading to develop comprehension skills.

It’s Captain Moore’s 100th birthday today!🎁

Captain Moore was a solider during World War 2 and wanted to raise money for the NHS.

He raised a fantastic total of £30 million by completing 100 laps of his garden.

Why not celebrate him today by making him a birthday card, doing laps in your own garden or even creating a portrait of him.

Post any pictures on Twitter, glow or the P3/4 blog. We love to hear from you 😁

Morning everyone, hope your week is going well so far!

A little science challenge for you to try today. As rainbows are seen as a symbol of hope during this difficult time I thought it was quite fitting. The experiment is to try to ‘grow your own rainbow’.

I have attached a link to the website to show you what you need and step by step instructions.

https://www.thebestideasforkids.com/grow-a-rainbow-experiment/

Have fun and good luck!

As an extra challenge as it is usually our taught writing day. Once you have completed the experiment write your own set of instructions for the experiment.

If you don’t fancy doing the experiment but still want to take part in the taught writing activity why not write a set of instructions for something you’ve made in the last few weeks such as baking goods.

Remember to use instructional verbs throughout your writing e.g Put, cut, place etc and good openers to each numbered step e.g firstly, then and next.

Please post your work onto the P3/4 team or email it to me through glow, I really love to see what you’ve been getting up to.

Thanks

Morning all,

It has been great to hear from some of you on Microsoft teams.

From hearing feedback you are enjoying using it too to stay in touch with class members and share work. Although I am aware some of you are still struggling to access the team.

I know it can be difficult to work with technology we are not used to – believe me!

If you cannot access through the previous link I have sent there is a code you can use. If you go onto the glow dashboard, click on the Microsoft teams app (it was near the bottom for me), click on the join or create tap and then you will see a grey box where you can enter the code provided below.

Code: jgnr3ew

It is important to mention you must use your child’s glow account as the code will not work for guest accounts.

Hope this helps anyone still struggling!

I will still be updating the blog with work regularly.

As always any questions send them my way!

Thanks

Miss Taylor

Hi all,

I have had a few requests for the common words that would have been covered in p3/4 for the blue group.

Below are screenshots of the stage 3 spelling programme. Within the screenshot each row shows; on the left hand side the date (that we would have covered the phoneme and common words), in the middle there is the phoneme of the week and on the right hand side is the list of common words.

We got up to week 25 before school closures (ie field).

So far I have been setting revision phoneme words and spelling words to allow your child to access the learning tasks independently.

There is no harm providing you with the spelling words/phonemes that we have yet to cover for you to look at in advance – although please let me assure you there is no expectation for you to complete activities on these words (as of yet anyway!)

If there are anymore questions please do not hesititate to ask.

My email for glow is gw16taylorjennifer@glow.sch.uk
