Hello everyone, thank you to those of you who sent me work yesterday.  I have a little issue just now with my inbox and can therefore not reply.  I am working on this today!  But rest assured, I have seen all  your work and I am very proud of you for working hard and completing the tasks.

RE

Morning prayer and a Hail Mary.  The month of May is a special time to pray to Our Lady.  After Easter, when we say a Rosary, we would say the Glorious Mysteries.  The first Glorious Mystery is the Resurrection of Jesus.  Try to say a Hail Mary and thank God for the Resurrection.

Literacy

Revise your common words or phoneme words.  Ask an adult to dictate a sentence to include these words.  Remember to include capital letters and full stops.

Today I would like to focus on Instructional Writing.  Look at the powerpoint below to revise how to do this:

Instructional Writing ppt

You may choose to write instructions on how to make your favourite sandwich or how to bake your favourite type of cake.  Remember to ask yourself, could someone easily follow these instructions?  If we were in class right now, I would say “If an alien came to Earth from another planet, would they be able to follow these instructions and successfully make the sandwich or bake the cake?”

I have attached a template for you if you wish but please don’t feel the need for it if you can’t print it out.  It’s a guideline to the layout.

Writing Instructions template

You must include the “Things  you need” for example, the ingredients and the utensils such as bowl, wooden spoon, knife etc.

Each instruction should begin with:

• First
• Then
• Next
• Finally

If you need more than four steps, can you think of different words to add? (eg. secondly, thirdly, after that)

I look forward to reading them and perhaps trying them out with my girls. 😉

Numeracy

Yesterday I told you how division is the inverse of multiplication.  To see this relationship more clearly, try the following game.

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/go/resource/go-teach-space-pairs-inverse-multiplication-and-division-game-tg-ga-140

(If you have trouble clicking this link then copy it and paste it into your address bar)

Using your times table to 6, show me 5 examples of how division is the inverse of multiplication.  You may use examples from the game you have just played.

Other

We are approaching the celebration of VE day, which stands for Victory in Europe day.  It is the day Germany was defeated by the Allied forces marking the end of the Second world war.  You can read more about it here:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/48201749

Have a go at this comprehension task which tells you important facts about VE day.  There are questions to answer.

*Note to parents: there are 3 differentiated tasks here, I would expect P3 to be able to do the first one and P4’s to the second one, however you can choose which one best suits your child’s ability.)

Have a lovely day everyone and weekend (Mrs Boyce with you tomorrow!).

Good morning Primary 6,

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.

 

Mixed Calculations

a) 7.1 b) 26.2  c) 70.5  d) 101.7

e) 8.78  f) 7.49  g) 9.63  h) 14.29

i) 7.11  j) 26.34  k) 31.01  l) 57.03

m) 6.2 n) 22.2  o) 46.7  p) 7.25

q) 1.27  r) 4.22  s) 3.07  t) 8.42

u) 2.07  v) 3.71  w) 2.58  x) 1.89

Today I would like you to try these calculations involving money. Remember money is just a decimal number so there is no special or different thing that you need to do. You just calculate the answers like you would any other decimal calculation.

a) £4.62+£3.07  b) £34.54+£26.67  c) £42.51+£5.22  d) £7.26+£8.55

e) £28.37+£9.28  f) £35.94+£42.70  g) £8.48-£5.27  h) £7.74-£4.13

i) £5.72-£5.68  j) £74.56-£40.26  k) £74.80-£7.29  l) £24.50-£3.87

m) Blythe bought a swimming costume for £25.50 and a swimming cap for £8.25. How much did she spend altogether?

n) Jane bought a skateboard for £67.99 and sold it the following year for £40.50. How much money did she lose in the deal?

o) In a diving competition the UK judge awarded 2.7 points less than the French judge. The french judge gave 9.3 points. How much did the UK judge award?

This is not how we would write out sums to find the answer so don’t write them this way in your jotter. Use place value, carrying and decomposition (borrowing) to find your answers.

I’ll post the answers to these tomorrow or you can send me your answers at:

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

Your spelling words for this week are:

process, resources, soldier, technique, weight, proposition, Saturday, stationary, texture, women

Today I would like you to start using this week’s spelling words to play IRL Bingo.

Write all of your spelling words out on a scrap of paper.

Each time you use one today in conversation tick it off.

When you have used all of the words yell, “Bingo!”

Did I mention that you also had to spell the words in conversation?

Example

“Dad, making the dinner must be a difficult process. P-R-O-C-E-S-S”

If you really want to play Hardcore IRL Bingo don’t tell anyone what you are doing or why you are doing it.

After 19 chapters we are now finished, “How to Train your Dragon.”

Here are the answers to yesterday’s comprehension exercises.

May is the month of Mary.

Today let us sing with Canon Sydney MacEwan

Bring Flowers of the Rarest Hymn

Bring flowers of the rarest
bring blossoms the fairest,
from garden and woodland and hillside and dale;
our full hearts are swelling,
our glad voices telling
the praise of the loveliest flower of the vale!
Refrain

Refrain:
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today!
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.

Their lady they name thee,
Their mistress proclaim thee,
Ah, grant that thy children on earth be as true
as long as the bowers
are radiant with flowers,
as long as the azure shall keep its bright hue
Refrain

Yesterday I asked you to make a May Altar. I hope that you managed to do that – I am looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Today your task is to say a decade of the Rosary in front of your May Altar. In school I ask you to think of a person or a group of people you would like to remember in your prayers. Think of someone special or a group of people….perhaps you might like to pray for yourself.

Settle quietly:

Make the Sign of the Cross, then say:  Our Father , Hail Mary (ten of these), Glory be to the Father, St. Barbara, pray for… (three times) and make the Sign of the Cross again.

To help you I have posted the Hail Mary in English and in Spanish.

Hello Primary 7 🙂,

As this is a short week, with no school on Friday, that means we are more than half way through the school week so let’s keep working hard for these last 2 days. I hope you have all had breakfast and are ready to begin your day. It looks like it’s going to be a sunny day today so that should put a big smile on everyone’s face. Make sure you get out in the garden today and make the most of the sunshine ☀️.

We begin our day as always by saying our morning prayer. Close your eyes and ask Our Lady, during her special month, to continue to protect and guide us during these uncertain times.

In class on a Wednesday morning we normally watch Newsround and discuss some of the news items with our peers. This morning I would like you to watch Newsround and discuss something that you learned with someone in your household.

Here is a link to today’s learning activities-

I thought this was a nice little thought for a Wednesday…

This won’t be forever, things will return back to normal eventually. Try your best to stay positive!

Good morning boys and girls, I hope you have been enjoying the lovely weather and getting some fresh air and exercise. Let’s begin today with a Hail Mary as May in the month of Mary.

Literacy – join in with your Jolly Phonics songs for your initial sounds and phonemes – th, sh, ch, ng and wh.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2HYM9VXz9k

Common words – read all of the common words in your word tin to a parent or someone at home. Put them into two piles. The first pile should be all the words that you can read really well and the second pile, the ones that are trickier for you – practise these ones even more this week. On Monday Mrs Connolly asked you to focus on some common words, continue to practise these words using fun spelling.  You can write them in chalk, using play doh, shaving foam, pasta, flower spelling or any fun way you can think of.

Reading – I have assigned you all a new book to read.  Firstly, listen to your story then read it aloud to a family member.  At the end of the story there is a quiz, choose three questions from the quiz and write the answer in a sentence (copy and complete).  Remember, to write in a sentence you need to have a capital letter at the start and full stop at the end.  If you did not receive an email from me with your child’s login details please contact me: gw09wallacemarie2@glow.sch.uk

Numeracy – Let’s start with some fun at the zoo.

Now try counting in 2’s to 20.

Can you count backwards from 30 to 1?

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.

RE

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.

Flower Crafts for Kids

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.

https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/doggyDivision/index.html

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.
