Literacy

This week we have introduced a new BIG Writing activity, called ‘Big It Up’.  On Monday we talked about our weekend news.  However, instead of telling what actually happened to us at the weekend, we invented things that  did not really happen, but would loved to have happened.  These could include things such as:

• The queen stopped by to use the loo…
• I found a million pounds…
• The Tooth Fairy brought me…
• I found a bottle that contained a magic genie who…
• I was performing in Britain’s Got Talent when…

This technique will improve your imaginative powers.  Tell your story aloud to someone first, and then write it in your jotter.

Remember to use some WOW words and varied punctuation.  Try out your Kung Fu Punctuation when reading your story aloud!

Maths

This week is Scottish Maths Week!  We have been completing maths challenges and activities in class and outdoors.  We have also been researching famous mathematicians.

At home find out what the Fibonacci sequence is and explain it in your jotter with examples.  Include information on the famous mathematician who the sequence was named after – known as Fibionacci!

French

We have been revising our numbers to 50 in French.  In class we have been enjoying singing along and learning our numbers using the following slightly silly you tube videos…

Click on the links and have a practise at home.  The songs are slightly catchy! Write the numbers to at least 20 in French in your jotter.
