Primary 6/7 2020

Good morning P6/7!

How are you all?  I hope that you enjoyed your long weekend.

This week’s home learning will be in the same format as previous weeks, but of course with different learning.  Remember to join us on Teams to stay in touch and say hello.

BBC Bitesize Daily Videos

We will continue to follow the Bitesize schedule and if I think there is a task that will help you linked to the lessons, I will post it that day on Teams.

Remember to stay active, take time to relax, do things you enjoy.  Something you have always wanted to learn about or research?  A topic you always wished your class had the chance to do?  Now is the time and I will help you in any way that I can!  Just let me know.

Have a great week everyone and remember to join us on Teams for daily suggested learning activities.

Remember it is important for a healthy mind and body to keep active.

Joe Wicks posts a new workout video every day at 9am on YouTube. I have posted some fitness resources that you mind find useful on Teams.

PowerPoint – Why exercise is important

Fitness log – A place where you could log your daily exercise. You might even want to make your own log.

Exercise cards – some exercise ideas to keep you active. You could make some of your own.

IDL

Below I have linked a suggested mini topic in the Vikings which you could explore. You may do some of these activities, all of these activities, or even complete ideas of your own.

P6/7, I do not want to overload you with information but remember that our class blog is jam packed with activities and websites that will help you. If you are looking for acitivites for a particular subject and cannot find any, please let me know and I will direct you. You are not expected to complete all of the activities I post, but choose what is right for you.

Not all learning happens through ‘school work.’ Help around the house, cook or bake, explore outdoors, play a board game. The list is endless! There is a separate post on our blog with hundreds of activities like this.

Remember to share your home learning photos with the class on Teams. I can’t wait to hear how you are getting on. Have a great week.
