P4/3 Tuesday 5th May

Good morning everyone, I hope you are well and are looking forward to the day ahead. Have you brushed your teeth and made your bed?

Let’s start with our morning prayer and today we will say a special Hail Mary and the Eternal rest prayer for all those who have died recently.

Eternal rest, grant unto them O’Lord

And let perpetual light shine upon them,

May they rest in peace,

Amen.

As it is the month of May, we would be organising and creating an altar in class.  We would have a statue of Our Lady and lovely pictures of Mary and some beautiful flowers.  Below is a little art activity for you to have a go at making your own flowers, there are lots of good ideas on this website. My girls and I did some of these yesterday and they were good fun. However, if you would rather draw or paint some flowers then that is fine also.

It would also be nice if you could say a Hail Mary every night before bedtime during the month of May.

Literacy

Yesterday, I gave P3 their phoneme for this week and the P4’s got some common words.

P3 – If you have play doh, why not spell out the phoneme words using the play doh.  Use one colour for “oe” and add the surrounding letters.  If you don’t have any play doh, can you use something else around the house? Eg spaghetti, buttons, pipe cleaners

• If none of the above, you can paint or draw the words.

P4 – Write a sentence for each of your common words.  Underline your common word.  Use your spelling strategies to help you spell them. Eg. How many syllables does it have?

Using the reading book you chose last week, write a summary of your book so far. I’d like to know what your reading.

• What’s the title and who is the author?
• Where and when is it set?
• Who are the main characters?
• What’s happening?

What do you think might happen next?

Numeracy

When we are doing division, we need to make sure that we are confident with our times tables.  Remember that division is the inverse of multiplication.

In this short video you will see that knowing her times tables helps the superhero find out the answer quickly.  Have a look:

Carrying on with division, here is a game about sharing.

This next game is on a timer and it is good fun.  When you click the link, input the times table from 1-6 and go!

Have a great day boys and girls, the weather is going to be nice for the next few days, so make sure you get out for some fresh air if you can.  Why not design an obstacle course for PE? I know you all enjoyed when we got the apparatus out in the gym hall last term.

Miss you all very much.
