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.

Novel Tasks Week 3

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.

Journal Week 4

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.

The Mental Health Foundation are holding Mental Health Awareness Week from the 18^th to the 24^th May 2020. This year the theme is kindness. Follow the link below to watch a little video that will explain a bit more.

https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/campaigns/mental-health-awareness-week

I am sure that you already have lots of great ideas for kind acts that you could carry out this week. I have also added some resources and activities you might like to try to share some kindness with others.

Make a greeting card or letter to let others know that they are in your thoughts. These greeting cards are ideal to send to friends, family or elderly members of the community who may be feeling lonely just now. You could colour in the greeting card and add a thoughtful message or use the letter template to write a kind message.

I am Thinking Of You

Thank You For Looking After Us

Thank You For Putting Others First

You Are Not Alone

Record all of your kind acts in this calendar. You could post this in the Teams page to share your ideas with others.
