Good morning primary 3,

What a quick week it has been! You have all be working extremely hard. Please remember to take plenty of breaks throughout the day. Remember not to worry if you do not manage to complete all of the tasks.

Please click the link below to access your literacy work for today.

Literacy Thursday

Numeracy:

Please start your numeracy work today by having a go at our place value game. To access this click the link below. You can choose to work with 2 digit numbers or to challenge yourself and try some 3 digit questions. Good Luck!

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/place-value-basketball

Today we are continuing our revision work on estimation and rounding. So far we have looked at rounding 2 digit numbers to the nearest 10, rounding 3 digit numbers to the nearest 10 and rounding 3 digit numbers to the nearest 100.

Below you will see a link for 3 tasks. I would like you to choose carefully which task you would like to complete. Have a look at all 3 before you make your decision.

Red Task

Amber Task

Green Task

I have extended your Sumdog challenge until 3:00pm today. I hope this gives everyone enough time to give it a go. There is also some place value work available on Studyladder. If you do not have your log in for this please get in touch.

Health and Well-being:

Yesterday we had a look at different types of emotions. If you are feeling sad or down it is important you tell an adult you trust.

There are also some things we can do to help improve our mood. Regular exercise is very important at this time. You can try some cosmic yoga today to help you relax.

Another thing you can do to stay positive is to do a task that makes you feel happy.

Cooking is something that helps me to relax and feel happy. I also like to sit in my garden to read a book. Throughout this time I have also been playing board games with my family. All of these things help me to remain positive.

Click on the link below and complete the worksheet. This will help you think of lots of activities that help you relax and make you feel happy.

Things that make me happy

Please remember to pray and to thank God for keeping us safe and well at this time

Keep smiling and have a lovely day.

Good morning boys and girls👩‍🏫

I can’t believe that today is the last day of April. Time flies!

Yesterday was my birthday and I thought you might like to see my cake as it was very colourful. You might have spotted lots of these in people’s windows. Can you guess what kind of cake it was? 🎂

A RAINBOW cake! It looked amazing and it tasted delicious. 🌈

I hope you are all well and ready for another great day!

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 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:

Primary 4/3 – Thursday 30 April 2020

🌈 Good Morning Boys and Girls 🌈

It has been great seeing all of your work and how creative you have all been over the last few days.  The character profiles, news reports, not to mention the beautiful poems on your Super Heroes – from Grans to Mums – I’ve loved them all.  Mrs Graham and I are so proud of all you have been doing at home.  Please keep sending/posting your work as it really brightens our days.

Can you believe that it is the last day of April and tomorrow we begin a new month?

Let’s start the day with our morning prayer.  🙏

I hope that you have been remembering to say our Guardian Angel prayer, especially at this time, so that they will keep us safe and well.  Here it is if you can’t remember it.

Angel of God, my Guardian dear,
To whom God’s love commits me here;
Ever this day, be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide.  Amen

Health and Well-being

Let’s take time out of our day to keep active.  You have been given lots of different types of exercises to do.   Free choice today – what will you do?  Oti Mabuse, Joe Wicks, Go Noodle or for all the football fans you might like to take part in this – all you need is a football! ⚽️🥅

Literacy

Here’s a little starter to get our brains working.   find a word 30 April

There’s no need to print just answer in your jotter.   At the bottom of the activity you will see that it is asking you to find some of the parts of speech we were revising last week.  See if you can remember them.  Can you remember what an adverb is?  We will look at those tomorrow.

Spelling

If we were back in class we spend around 15 minutes going over our spelling words.   If there are any of your words you are still unsure of remember to practise them.  Take time to use the strategy that helps you.  Remember people use different ways to learn new words.

Reading

Make sure you read today for at least 10 minutes.  Find a quiet time and concentrate really hard on your book.  Use a dictionary if you don’t know the meaning of a word.  Reading expands your vocabulary and helps you in so many different ways in literacy.

Numeracy

For each word problem, underline the key information, write down the sums and work out the answers. The problems may involve adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing.  Remember to show your workings in your jotter.  There are two steps Take your time and read the questions carefully.

  1. On Sunday I spent 98 minutes on my art project, and 35 minutes on my numeracy homework. On Thursday evening I spent a total of 100 minutes on my homework. What is the difference between the amount of homework I did on Sunday and Thursday evening?
  2. Dad drives a truck. Last week he drove 250 kilometres on Monday and 145 on Tuesday. This week Dad drove 150 kilometres in total. What is the difference in kilometres between this week and last week?
  3. One watch costs £1 and I bought two. If I paid with a £5 note, how much change did I receive?
  4. *I need to buy enough whiteboards for 95 students and there are 10 in a pack. When the packs arrive 4 whiteboards are damaged. How many whiteboards are undamaged?
  5. *At the fabric shop I bought 125 metres of orange fabric and 50 metres of yellow fabric. I have used 13 metres of the orange fabric and 12 metres of yellow fabric. How many metres of fabric do I have left in total?
  6. I got £35.00 for my birthday. I spent £10.00 on Saturday and £15.50 on Sunday. How much spending money have I got left?

Primary 3 – Try to do at least 3 questions.  Primary 4 – Try them all.

Challenge: Questions 4 and 5 have three steps.

Keep practising your tables and remember if you have got time you can carry out a task from your grid.  Remember you have Sumdog , First News and Study Ladder too!

Make sure you remember to take plenty of breaks and drink plenty of water.  Well done for all your hard work today.  Remember tonight we say a big thank you to our NHS workers.

Primary 1a – Thursday 30th April

Good morning Super Stars 🌟

Let’s begin 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, St Barbara pray for us.

Literacy

Today is Thursday and that means writing day! Although I was only in your class for a short time, I saw some super writing tasks from you. On Tuesday it was National Superhero Day, which honours superheroes both real and fictional. 🦸‍  You may have a favourite superhero of your own? In my house we have two favourites, one of my boys loves Batman and the other loves Spider-Man. Superheroes are great role models for us, they serve and protect while fighting evil. Over the last few weeks we have seen lots of super heroes in our own country, helping to fight this virus. Can anyone think of who these people might be? We clap for them every Thursday.  Doctors, nurses, NHS workers among many others.

I would like you to write about your favourite superhero, it could be Batman, Spider-Man, Captain America or any other.  You may even choose someone closer to home that you think is a superhero, it might be your mum, dad, gran, grandpa, friend, teacher, whoever you wish.  I would like you to tell me your superhero’s name, their special powers and why you think they are so important.  You can also draw a picture of your superhero. I’d love to find out who your hero is, you could send me a little picture.

My favourite super hero is…

I like him/her because…

His/her super power is…

Primary 7 Daily Activities

Hi Primary 7,

I know some of you were having difficulty opening the word document I attached with today’s activities. I have deleted the word document and reattached it so fingers crossed it works. Let me know if there are any more issues.

Primary 6 – Wednesday 29th April

 

Good Morning Primary 6,

Yesterday I asked you to divide some ‘ow’ words from our spelling list into two columns.

You should have ended up with something like this:

Words with ‘ow’

Sounding like ‘cow’

Words with ‘ow’

Sounding like ‘window’
clown

growl

prowl

scowl

clown

brown

crown

down

frown

slow

known

show

growth

slow

blown

throw

shown

thrown

Today I would like you to sort our spelling words out into a table showing the number of syllables that they have.

Remember a syllable is a part of a word that can be sounded by itself. Each syllable has a vowel sound. For example:

pillow = pil-low

arrow = ar-row

Notice that the double letters are split between the syllables.

One syllable Two syllables

Three syllables
grow Follow = fol-low

Following = fol-low-ing

rainbow, window, swallow, tomorrow, barrow, own, mower, borrowing, hollow, sparrow, elbow, burrow, shadow, shallow

 

Here’s Cressida Cowell reading chapter 16 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

Hiccup’s fiendishly clever plan has gone wrong. The Green Death is dying but it’s not dead yet. Hiccup declares that this is truly the worst moment of his life as he falls into the dragon’s open mouth. Thinking back over all that we have heard so far about Hiccup try to make a list of all of the worst moments in Hiccup’s life that have lead him to this point. Is this really the worst moment? Were the other times that Hiccup declared, “This is the worst moment of my life.” really all that bad? Would you describe Hiccup as an optimist or a pessimist?

 

 

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths statements.

a) 6.7 lies between 6 and 7. It is closer to 7

b) 4.3 lies between 4 and 5 . It is closer to 4

c) 7.5 lies between 7 and 8 . It is closer to 8

d) 1.58 lies between 1 and 2 . It is closer to 2

e) 5.34 lies between 5 and 6 . It is closer to 5

f) 0.83 lies between 0 and 1 . It is closer to 1

g) 10.8 lies between 10 and 11 . It is closer to 11

h) 23.25 lies between 23 and 24 . It is closer to 23

i) 58.81 lies between 58 and 59 . It is closer to 59

Saying that 58.81 is closer to 59 is ROUNDING 58.81 to 59. Today I want you to round these decimals to the nearest whole number. You don’t need to write the numbers that they are between today, just the answer will do.

1a) 7.4  b) 8.6  c)9.8  d) 2.1

e) 3.47  f) 6.85  g)15.29  h) 20.63

i) 25.27  j) 33.99  k) 42.14  l) 68.50

2a) 4.10  b) 5.90  c) 3.40  d) 8.70

e) 12.80  f) 14.50  g) 17.39  h) 18.72

i) 0.34  j) 0.51  k) 0.50  l) 101.49

Now why don’t we have a Wednesday Workout.

Today is the memorial day of St. Catherine of Siena a woman who lead an extraordinary life. Watch this short film about her and then record in your jotter why she was so special.
