Good morning Primary 5! I hope you all had a nice time over the long weekend. I have posted some new learning activities for this week and some of them will also be available as assignments on the Primary 5 Team. Remember you can choose when and how you complete the tasks. Try to also spend time each day doing something fun, relaxing, learning a new skill or helping with the chores at home.
Keep updating the Primary 5 team on Glow with your comments, work and photos if you can. Also, you can let me know if there are any tasks or activities you would like to try your hand at over the next few weeks and I will try to post some links and resources to help you.
Take care, Mrs Hutchison
Reading
I have posted another set of literacy activities that you can complete with your own novel. I have also included a comprehension task about 2 children who witness a Tsunami if you are looking for something a bit different. If you are looking for a new book to read you can access some books online through the following websites using the links below.

Reading Comprehension – The Wave
Spelling
This term we are continuing to practise and consolidate familiar words. As we are having a look at money for Numeracy this week I thought it would be a good idea to practise spelling some of the tricky words we might see in this topic.
Writing
For your writing tasks this week I have give you another journal entry to try and a grid where you can choose which literacy task you would like to complete on the theme of Superheroes.
Literacy Across Learning Superheroes Theme
Numeracy
This week we are going to be having a look at adding and subtracting money. The best way to learn about using money is to complete practical activities such as working out the total cost of your shopping bill and then working out how much change you are due. You could even set up your own shop or stall at home to practise! The following activities will also help you to revise your skills.

On the next website take a look at the video presentations for Week 2, Lesson 2 and 3. Here you will see lots of good strategies for adding and subtracting money.
