Good morning Primary 5! I hope that you all had a great weekend and were able to enjoy the lovely sunshine.
I have posted some activities below for you to try during the course of the week. Friday is a holiday so we can take a break from learning after Thursday!
Remember it is not expected that you complete all of the activities posted here. These are just some ideas to keep up the skills that you have already developed over the course of this year. I can see from the posts on the P5 Team on Glow that many of you are spending time helping your parents and learning important life skills too, this is fantastic to see!
If you haven’t already then try to log on to the Primary 5 team on Glow using the login details that were emailed to your parents. This is a great way for you to show what you have been doing at home and to chat with the rest of the class. If you have any trouble getting on to Microsoft teams just comment below or email Mrs Winning and we will help you.

Now that we have looked at telling the time, I thought this week we could have a look at planning time. Below are some websites, games and activities to help you. Once you have watched the video try to answer the questions on the Using a Calendar Activity sheet, I’ll post the answers at the end of the week. Then think about how you would plan the time you spend in school, create your perfect daily timetable using the sheet below.
