Good morning P7.  Hope you all had a lovely weekend and that you managed to enjoy some sunshine.  Well done to the winner of our Sumdog competition.  I will announce this on Teams later and be in touch to get an address to send your prize to you! But well done to all the people who participated in this competition.  As a class you answered a whopping 8823 questions! 👏👏👏

English
Your literacy/English work for this week focuses on the setting(s) in your novel.  If you are reading something of your own choice at the moment which you are enjoying, and you would like to use that for your task instead of the class novel you were given in Term 3, that’s fine with me. There are 5 tasks for you to complete this week, so you may choose to complete 1 each day, or do them all today, it’s up to you.  As you prepare for your secondary education, it is useful to practise prioritising your own workload which means looking at what needs to be done and deciding how you’re going to split up the tasks to ensure you get them completed.  This document can be printed to enable you to do it on the sheet, or alternatively you could type your answers onto a blank word document or just write it in your jotter/notebook.  Don’t forget to spend some time this week reading your novel too. It is important as it builds your reading stamina which is the length of time you can read without losing concentration.  The greater your reading stamina, the longer you can read and the more enjoyment you will gain from reading.  This is because it gives you a chance to really get ‘into’ the book.

Maths
Converting fractions into percentages.  This lesson includes two videos, two interactive activities and one worksheet.

If you didn’t get round to it last week, have a go at this virtual escape room today too. You have to calculate a maths problem which gives you the password to enter the next room and navigate your way around all the high school departments to escape.

History
Learn about life in Anglo-Saxon Britain. This lesson includes three videos exploring what life was like in Anglo Saxon times and two activities to build historical knowledge and understanding.

Your Literacy/English work for this week is a detailed Character Study of the main character(s) in your novel.  If you are reading something of your own choice at the moment which you are enjoying, and you would like to study a character from that instead of the class novel you were given in Term 3, that’s fine with me. There are 8 short characterisation tasks for you to complete this week and it’s a four day week, so you may choose to complete 2 each day, or do them all today, it’s up to you.  As you prepare for your secondary education, it is useful to practise prioritising your own workload which means looking at what needs to be done and deciding how you’re going to split up the tasks to ensure you get them completed.  This document can be printed to enable you to do it on the sheet, or alternatively you could type your answers onto a blank word document or just write it in your jotter/notebook.  Don’t forget to spend some time this week reading your novel too.

Health and Wellbeing

First aid – Have a look at this lesson from the Red Cross about helping someone who is unresponsive and not breathing.  There are video clips and a quiz for you to see how much you have remembered.  We would normally be doing Heartstart around this time, and looking at CPR.  In school, we would have been practising on the resuscitation dolls and reminding you of the steps.  You learned how to do this at the Dalziel Health Fayre when the volunteer s from the St Andrew’s Ambulance service showed you resuscitation.  Can you remember what to do?

Art: Extreme Close-Up
Get up close to nature.  Find something in your garden, at the park or out on a walk that you can draw.  You could even use a house plant. If your object is in danger of running/flying off, you may want to use a camera or smartphone to take a photo and draw it from the photo. Draw a sketch of it really close up.  Imagine your eye is a camera lens and really zoom in on your object and draw as much detail as you can.  Decide whether you want to use colour or not.  Post a photo of your picture on teams for others to see if they can guess what it is.

We still have 11 players involved. Keep going! Let’s climb up that leaderboard!

ICT

HWB
This week’s Transition to Secondary work has been set as an assignment on Teams.    You will need a piece of paper for the last activity as it involves making a poster. Maybe once you’ve done that you could post a photo on teams so I can see how well you’ve done.

Outdoor Learning

The weather is a bit grim this morning but the forecast looks like it might brighten up a bit later, and today is outdoor classroom day, so try and get out for a while if you can.  This year its all about dressing up in nature, so you could make a daisy chain necklace, or a crown out of flowers.  Alternatively use sticks, stones and other things you can find to make a picture or write a message!

If you are lucky enough to get out for a walk in nature today, see how many of these things you can tick off your list!

Have a good day!

This week’s Transition to Secondary work has been set as an assignment on Teams.  You will be much more able to type in the boxes this time (apologies for any issues you may have experienced last week – we’re all learning here including me!)  You should be able to complete everything except the last task on the word document and submit it to me through teams.  You will need a piece of paper for the last activity as it involves making a poster. Maybe once you’ve done that you could post a photo on teams so I can see how well you’ve done.

Outdoor Learning
The weather forecast looks good for today, so if you have a safe outside space that you can use, try and spend some time outside playing, exercising or reading.

Have a good day!
