Thursday 26th March Primary 1b

Good morning everyone 🙂

I hope you had a great day yesterday. I enjoyed reading your tweets and getting to see your smiley faces in the pictures and videos. I am very proud of how hard you are all working!

Today I would like you to keep working through your learning grids, choosing some tasks to complete. Remember to take plenty of breaks and get some fresh air in your garden.

If you would like a change this morning and you would like to try a new workout, Jumpstart Jonny is great fun! https://www.youtube.com/jumpstartjonny

I have also signed you all up for Studyladder. https://www.studyladder.co.uk/ This is another great online resource, where you can access lots of great activities to keep your brain active. I will be setting you tasks each week. You each have your own username and password to login. Please email me if you wish to receive these details.

One last thing before I go 🙂 I cannot stop watching the live webcams at Edinburgh Zoo. The animals are far too cute and they are certainly cheering me up. My favourite is definitely the Panda cam! https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/webcams/panda-cam/

Have a great day boys and girls.

Miss McEleney 🙂

Good Morning Primary 6

Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 2 of “How to Train your Dragon”

After you have listened to both parts try to write some literal, inferential and evaluative questions and answers about the chapter. You can listen and watch more than once.

Just in case you have forgotten

Literal Comprehension – What it says

What is the Author saying?

  • Remember the facts
  • Identify the main ideas
  • Find the details
  • Summarise
  • Locate information and use clues to give meaning

Questions you should ask yourself

  • What words show the main ideas of the story?
  • How can you summarise what is happening?
  • What happens first, second, third and last?
  • How are the things that happen alike?
  • What things belong together?

 

Inferential Comprehension – How it says it

What am I understanding?

  • Read between the lines
  • Find clues/collect evidence
  • Have ideas
  • Make predictions
  • Judge the mood
  • Find the author’s point of view

Questions you should ask yourself

  • What is the author hiding?
  • What effect does this character have on the story?
  • What effect does this event have on the story?
  • What will happen now?
  • How can I prove my ideas?
  • What is the author’s message


Evaluative Comprehension – What it means to me

What do I think about this?

  • Why has the author written this way?
  • What are my feelings about these characters?
  • What are my feelings about these situations?

Questions you should ask yourself

  • Could this possibly happen?
  • Is this logical?
  • What other way could this story have gone?
  • Is my thinking fact or opinion?
  • Do I agree or disagree with the author’s message?

As you write your questions remember,

Inferential answers need evidence to back them up so inferential questions must be based on evidence in the first place.

Evaluative answers can be different for different people but again their views must be justified so your questions must relate closely to the story so that the opinion that they form makes sense.

 

I know that you might find the inferential questions tricky but that is why you need to collect your evidence first. Authors are always hiding something – sleuth them out!!

Happy Thursday P5,

Please join me and tune in to the Science Centre’s live broadcast at 10.00am this morning:

http://www.youtube.com/user/scienceshowbob

Write a short paragraph about what you have learned.

Please select a task from your grid today. Remember that there are set tasks waiting for you all on Sumdog and Studyladder.

Practise counting forwards and backwards in tenths starting at different numbers: eg 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9,  6,  6.1   or    29.1, 29, 28.9, 28.8, 28.7

Please complete four operation sums, one addition, one subtraction, one multiplication and one subtraction. Can you explain to a family member the steps that you followed?

Record yourself reading a short extract form your personal reader and watch it back. Did  you sound fluent? Did you use the punctuation in the text as you read? Did you use expression? Did you use strategies for tricky words?

Learn to draw a beautiful Scarlet Macaw by following:

I would love to see some finished work by our amazing artists.

It is very important that you keep your mind and body active, but home learning is very different from lessons in school. Please feel free to adapt any suggested activities to suit your family life and remember to take regular breaks. You must also be missing your friends. There are many ways that you can keep in touch with your classmates and share what you have been doing.

If you need any further information or support with logins please get in touch by leaving a comment.

Remember to stay safe and keep smiling, Mrs H

 

 

Thursday 26th March P5/4

Good morning boys and girls!

I hope everyone had a good sleep and is ready to learn! Please keep using the grid for activities to keep your brains active. I could see lots of good work on Sumdog yesterday. Just remember it is important to take breaks, just like we do in school.

I am missing you all and it would be lovely to see your smiling faces so please feel free to post on twitter or send me an email with pictures or just to tell me how you are doing.

Have a great day,

Good morning boys and girls 🙂

I hope you are all well and keeping safe. I am missing all of your smiley faces. Dippy is looking after our classroom and he said that it is just not the same without you all!

Keep working through your home learning grids. I would love if you could tweet a picture of you completing some of your tasks. Tag your post @St_BarbarasPS . This would make me smile!

I have also set you all a challenge on Sumdog. Remember your username and passwords can be found inside your diary.

Here is a fun little reading challenge for you to try.

Have fun! I look forward to reading your tweets!

Primary 6

Cressida Cowell is reading, “How to Train Your Dragon” a chapter a day on her youtube channel.

Have a listen to the first chapter and then visualise one of the characters.

I have a real soft spot for Gobber the Belch because he reminds me so much of one of you.

Good Morning Primary 5,

I hope that you have been keeping busy and having fun.

Today is the Feast of the Annunciation. This is when Mary said ‘yes’ to being the mother of Jesus. Many people around the word need our prayers. Pope Francis asks us to join with him at 11 am this morning in saying The Lord’s Prayer, The Our Father.

I have been keeping a close eye on Sumdog, First News and Studyladder. Let’s try to get more of us completing today’s set tasks. If you have any problems logging on please get in touch and I will help you.

Find a comfortable place to snuggle up and read your book today. You could make a family member a cup of tea and tell them what you have read. You could use your amazing art skills to draw and annotate your favourite character.

Keep your super maths brain active by revising your focus times table. Make your own flip game, with the questions on one side and the answers on the other, to help you revise.

Practise your coding skills using Minecraft Hour of Code. Try hard to keep your body active. If you want a challenge try Joe Wick’s PE lesson on YouTube, it will definitely get your heart pumping.

I am missing you all and would love to see some of your home learning pictures on our Twitter page.

Take care, and remember to check our blog tomorrow. Mrs Haughey
