Hub Update: Wednesday 3rd June

Dear Parents,

We have had to make some last-minute changes to the HUB rota. Consequently some teachers are not working in the HUB and will now upload work tomorrow.

Mrs McKinney

P4/3 Wednesday 3rd June

Good morning everyone, how are you all today? Thank you for all your work yesterday, I have updated the shining stars wall which I will attach to the end of today’s blog.

Let’s begin with our morning prayer and an Our Father.

Literacy

Ask an adult to dictate a few sentences using your common words.

We assigned you short novels last week so you should be finished them if you have been reading every day. Complete the quiz and then you can choose a book of your own choice to read over the next few days and weekend.

Numeracy

Let’s start by revising our times tables.

Here is a link for you to revise your 4x

https://www.timestables.co.uk/4-times-table.html

And here is a link for you to revise your 6x

https://www.timestables.co.uk/6-times-table.html

Using your TJ book, complete the following tasks continuing with fractions work:

Pg141, Ex3, Q4&5 and pg 185, Q9&10

(If you didn’t manage to complete yesterday’s work then do this first – pg 142 and pg 185)

Health & Wellbeing

I hope you enjoyed your Slushies yesterday!! We just managed to get them made in the warm weather as today is to be a bit cooler.

YOGA

We are going to follow a little Yoga session that Mrs McFall (Daniel and Luke’s mum) has kindly allowed us to share on the Blog.

Below is a great Yoga workout that you can do along with an adult or your siblings. You can also have your favourite ted join in too.

Yoga is a great skill helping you learn the importance of how you breath which in turn helps us relax and sleep well. (Parents: Mrs McFall recommends that you allow your child to go with the flow and, if you are able to accompany them doing the video, ask them similar questions). Remember with any exercise we should remember to drink plenty to keep us hydrated, looking after our bodies!!

Once again a great big thank you to Mrs McFall and Luke.

Over the course of the last few days we have been learning about the importance of Pentecost. It has shown us how important the feast is in the church’s year.

There are a few activities below which you can complete to reinforce what you have learned about The Feast of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit. You can choose to do one activity or why not complete it together with your siblings.

When you have finished your activities, take a few minutes to pray together with your family. I have attached a lovely hymn that you could sing together to finish off your Pentecost work for today.

Have a lovely day!

Remember, decimals make no difference to how you add, subtract, multiply or divide you only have to remember to keep the decimal points above one another, in a straight line.

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

For spelling this week I want to look at another spelling rule.

The sound ‘sh’ represented by ‘ci’.

Some words use ‘ti’ to make ‘sh’. Words like station, nation or education.

When a longer word is formed from a root word, however, the ‘sh’ sound is represented by ‘ci’.

Copy these words into your jotter and split them into syllables. The first one is done for you.

musician = mu-si-cian

spacious

financial

optician

official

sufficient

facial

gracious

tactician

electrician

I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.

On Thursday and Friday I put up a special announcement about the buddy letters that you should be writing to the new Primary 1’s.

I’ve now received letters back from about three quarters the class. If you haven’t sent me your’s yet, now is your time to get it written.

Here is a link to the announcement.

Primary 1b- Wednesday 3rd June

Good morning my wonderful ones

How are you all today?

We will begin our day as always, with our morning prayer.

God our Father, as we prepare to begin our work, we ask you to help us use properly, the many gifts you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together in school. St. Barbara, pray for us.

Here is today’s overview:

DailyOverviewJune3rd

Literacy

oo sound

Yesterday you learned the ‘oo’ sound. Did you manage to think of lots of words that have this sound? Look at the pictures below, can you guess each oo word?

Common Words: play, no, look

Ask your child to think of a strategy to help them spell each new common word correctly. Ask them if they can sound out any of their new common words?

The only word that they can sound out this week is look. This word has this week’s phoneme in it, l-oo-k.

When we say the word no, the o says the letter name not the o sound so we cannot sound this word out.

Your child has not learned the ay sound yet so we treat play as a sight word.

Writing

Once your child has written their sentences ask them to check that they have included their core writing targets.

Maths

How long is a minute?

Have you ever asked to do something and someone has replied ‘wait a minute‘ or ‘you can do it in a minute’? How long is a minute?

We can see one minute passing on the clock as the minute hand moves from one little line to the next, recognising that there are 60 little lines around the clock. There are 60 minutes in one hour.

Sabrina wants to enter a competition to rap the most words in one minute but is not sure how long this is. Watch the video clip below to learn more.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zmpc2sg

What can you do in a minute?

Can you be silent for one minute?

Today I would like you to explore what you can do in one minute.

You could use the one minute sand timer below to help you measure one minute:

Challenge

Ask someone in your house to time you and see how many times you can do the following activities in one minute. After you finish, you could swap over and see if they could beat you.

Activities:

How many times can you write your name in one minute?

How many times can you touch your toes in one minute?

How many star jumps can you do in one minute?

How many times can you count up to ten in one minute?

How many different words can you write down in one minute?

What else can you do in one minute boys and girls?

Set Tasks

I have set some time tasks for you to complete on Sumdog and Studyladder today.

If you have forgotten your login details for Studyladder, please send me an email and I will be able to give you them.

Telling the Time Board Game

If you have a printer at home, you might want to use this board game to practise telling the time to the hour.

Rachael Sofia Natasha Aila Dubem Preet Hannah Ethan Y. Euan

Ethan P. Maya B. Charlie W. Rachel Preet Imogen

You’ve done very well on Scholastic and on First News. Keep in up!

If you haven’t logged on yet, please do so and I can add you to all those who are trying so hard!

Literacy Tasks

First News: please select from assigned Comprehension, Crossword and Word Definition tasks.

Scholastic: please continue with your selected book. If you have finished, please complete the quiz and choose another book. You should aim to read for twenty-thirty minutes each day.

Literacy: Recap of Yesterday’s Task

Step 1

Decide on six characters. In the game you have Professor Plum, Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard etc. You can give your character a title e.g. Lord Lime, Captain Chloe -it’s up to you!

Step 2

Give each of your characters a colour and a few characteristics: for example, Lord Lime might be green in colour, he might have a walking stick and he might be sneaky, dishonest and cunning.

Step 3

Think of a setting. In the original edition of Cluedo each room belonged to a mansion with nine rooms.

You can choose any setting – but it must have nine rooms also. It could be a castle, a spaceship etc. List the nine rooms.

Step 4

Decide on six accessories the characters might have e.g. a walking stick, a metal briefcase etc.

Task

Draw each of your characters just like Top Trump cards. The top of each card should show the name of the character. Their clothes should clearly show which colour you have selected for them and each should feature the chosen accessory.

On the bottom of each card, write a brief description of the character based on the characteristics. You don’t need to add any categories or gradings (e.g. Magic 70 above).

Keep your cards somewhere safe.

Wednesday’s Tasks

For today’s task, you must create two sets of cards of an identical size to those you made yesterday.

Set 1: these cards will show each of the nine rooms you decided upon yesterday. You will create a picture and a brief description of the room.

Set 2: each card will show one of the accessories you decided upon yesterday. The card should have a picture of the accessory and its name.

Keep all of your cards somewhere safe.

Task 2

Research the game, CLUEDO – if you haven’t already played it before. Make sure that you know the rules and that you know what you need to play the game apart from the cards above. Have a look at the board itself. How many squares doe it have?

Numeracy

Mental Challenge: Multiplication

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Select: Level 3 or Level 4 or Level 5

Think carefully about which tables you know and which require more practice. If you know a table really well, don’t waste time on it…move to one you’re not sure about.

Select two to focus on and then choose one from the mixed section.

Weight

Over the last few days we have been looking at units of measurement used in weighing: grams and kilograms.

There is a reminder for you below.

Kilogram and Gram

A gram is a small unit which is used to weigh objects. It indicates how heavy the object is.

A kilogram is made up of 1000 grams.

Today I have some word problems for you. They are all about weight – and you will have to add or subtract.

Task 1

Bella is having a sleepover and she has bought the following ingredients for breakfast the following morning.

Croissants 270g Muffins 440g

Buns 340g Pancakes 315g

Waffles 150g Butter 1kg 200g

Jam 710g

45 Bread Rolls

Remember to write out each calculation before you attempt it.

a) What is the total weight of the croissants, the buns and the muffins?

b) What is the total weight of the pancakes, the waffles, the butter and the jam. ( Top Tip: You might want to change the weight of the butter into grams first).

c) What is the total weight of all of the items (don’t include the bread rolls)

d) Write the total weight of answer c) in kilograms and grams

e) There are exactly enough rolls for everyone to have 4 and a half each. How many people were at the sleepover breakfast?

Task 2

Bella’s mum went shopping too.

She bought two and a half kilograms of cherries to bake a cherry pie.

She set aside 750g of the cherries to make jam.

a) How many grams of cherries did Bella’s mum buy?

b) How many grams of cherries were used to make the cherry pie?

Task 3

The postman delivered two parcels: one for Bella and one for her mum.

Bella’s parcel weighed 4kg 200g and her mum’s weighed 3kg 850g.

a) How much heavier was Bella’s parcel?

b) What was the total weight of both parcels?

Answers will be posted at 3.00pm today.

Good morning boys and girls, how are you all today? I hope that you are keeping well and working hard. Let’s begin our day with our morning prayer:

God Our Father, as we prepare to begin our work, we ask you to help us to use properly many gifts that you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together. St Barbara pray for us.

Literacy

On Monday Mrs Connolly introduced you to the phoneme “oo”, can you remember any “oo” words? Can you guess the words I am thinking of:

1. If you look up to the sky at night you will see me.

2. It is on top of your house.

3. You use me to eat soup and yoghurt.

4. I am attached to your leg.

5. Lots of animals live here and people visit to look at them.

6. When you are hungry you eat it.

Now I would like you to use you whiteboards and magnetic letters if you have them to make these words, if not you can write the words down.

Remember we use our strategy to help us with our phonemes.

e.g. spoon

Say the word spoon.

Make the word/break the word- s p oo n

Blend the word (push it together) – spoon

Read the word – spoon

Write the word – spoon

oo-like-spoon

Today we are going to look at 3 new common words – play, no, look.

play – is a tricky word for us as – ay is a phoneme that we have not learned yet.
no – is tricky as we can’t sound it out n is the letter sound and o is the letter name.
look – we can sound this word out l-oo-k.

Write these words out 3 times each and make up a sentence for each of them.

Maths- Time

Have you been enjoying learning to tell the time? We are going to do a little more practise over the next few days.

Remember… when the small hand points to a number it tells us the hour – the time in the day. When the big hand points to 12, it is o’clock.

Join in with this song.

Were you able to tell all of the times?

*Parents – this teaching clock is useful to ask your child o’clock times* -https://www.topmarks.co.uk/time/teaching-clock
