Primary 5 23rd April 2020

Good morning to all our fabulous fives!

Let’s begin our day with our morning prayer.

God Our Father, As we begin our days work, we ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts that you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together.

St Barbara, Pray for us.

Please say a Hail Mary for all those who are sick

Let’s wake ourselves up and start our day with a Joe Wick’s workout.

MATHS

Here is an eggcellent way to revise your knowledge of times tables. Make your very own ‘Egg Carton Shake Up’ game and compete against a family member.

For numeracy today let’s practise some real life application of place value. You will be changing money, lengths and weights into their decimal forms. Watch the video lessons carefully, try to answer the examples given in the clip. Finish by checking how well you did. You can choose to complete the Bronze or Silver level; or you can have a go at both. I would recommend wearing earphones as you listen, it might help you to focus fully.

LITERACY

Authors_Live (3)

Last term in class we watched Cressida Cowell on Authors Live. It was a very interesting show as it gave us an insight into where she gets her ideas and how she goes about writing her amazing stories. The link above will take you to a Power Point with a variety of Authors Live activities. There are five different authors to choose from. You should select a slide and copy and paste the link into your URL. This will take you to some amazing events with real life authors. Try to complete suggested activities linked to your chosen event.

Revise your knowledge and understanding of similes and metaphors by watching the BBC Bitesize lesson below:

If you have time today you might choose an activity form your new Learning Grid.

Have a lovely day boys and girls. Try to enjoy some time outdoors; we are very lucky that the sun is shining. Try hard to help around the house, your parents are extremely  busy and would appreciate your helping hands.

A huge well done to Keiran New for making a very cosy reading den in which to enjoy his new David Walliams book. I hear that you are a big brother Keiran. I know that you will be an amazing brother! Congratulations!
