Language

We are working on our understanding of text this week. This means that we need to read a piece of text and explore what the words mean on their own and as a full piece of text. An important part of this is inference – this means reading between the lines and working out extra information. Another important part is knowing the meaning of tricky words.

For homework, go on one of the following science news websites, read a few articles and write a summary of the information in the article.

Maths

We are continuing to work on our understanding of multiplying and our times table recall.

For homework, play hit the button and record your best scores for the following times tables

2, 4, 8, 3, 6, 7, 9.

Try and beat your score!

 

IDL

We are exploring how carbon dioxide affects the temperature of the earth. This is called “The greenhouse effect”. For homework, you can calculate your “carbon footprint” which shows you how much carbon you release in a year!

Primary 7 started the day with extremly good, hard work. what wewere doing was peer assesing each other’s writing work from Friday. How they were doing it was bascially  they had to mark each others work and look out for vcop what that stands for is. V for vocabulary C for connectives  O for openers and P for puncuation. This is a piece of writing that has alot of vcop and is done corectly.

They also were finishing off their global warming mind maps. We got to watch a few videos on global warming to get intresting facts but first they had to do what they already knew in pencil then a different colour for the videos. This shows us what we already knew and what we learned during the lessons.

 

 

In maths, we were learning to demonstrate reapted adding (multiplying).  we made posters on ways to times numbers for example 12×8=96 then we did number lines on the poster ,arrays what an array is its like a domino but using time tables sums.

Today we were learning more about global warming. We had to find the answers to the questions that Mr McMullan gave us, this links with ther right “Article 17 – Children have the to access information that is important to their health and well.

 

But before that we watched a bit of blue planet and we took notes and made a mind map.

For both of these subjects we were learning to find information and use it. This links to artical 17 again” Artical 17- children have the right to access information that is important to their health and wellbeing”

 

In storywriting we were learning to right and use V.C.O.P thought a piece of writing about a person in Africa who does not have the right to an education because they cant get their education because they need to walk and then they get a qhubeka bike.

this is a awesome timelape one of children in my class made it is awesome!

 

In maths, we were learning to say and know what we had to do to get the answer so we then answered questions about our christmas fair “i have charisma” – quote Stephen (table mannars)

This morning in PE we where learning to use our body to get into good positions to hit the shuttlecock, although for some people it was a bit hard. We were hitting the shuttlecock with the racket with under arm skills and using a smash!

 

 

 

 

After playtime we were learning all about global warming.

Trees give you oxygen  so do plants we breath  in oxygen. We where learning about the greenhouse effect. People breath out carbon dioxide and so do cars. This contributes to the greenhouse effect, where the gas traps the heat and the earth gets hotter.

This morning we did maths.

We were learing about multiplying whilst using a number line.

Example: 8×7 we would do the second number how many jumps and the first number how many spaces. You should get 56 as the answer.

 

We did three of these questions using a empty number line.

Afterwards we started a times table sheet we were given. It looks like this.

You go along the line and add on the number at the start. The first time  you double and then add the same number at the start and just keep doing that untill your all the way along the line. This is repeated adding

After maths we went to ICT and explored the new games on our active learn account – they are all multiplying and dividing games.

 

We came back and we were continuing to work on our fluency. We need to be able to predict tricky words to be fluent, so we practiced that.

Plus we made up a list of criteria to use when reading with a partner to check their fluency.

By Charlie-Anne and Mr McMullan

Homework week beginning 21^st November

 

Langauge

We have been working on our fluency when we are reading words that we don’t immediately recognise. We identified that we need to sound out words and we need to reread them multiple times.

For homework, practice one of the tongue twisters.

double bubble gum bubbles double

sixty silly sisters simply singing

Children have also been given a print out of other tongue twisters to try.

Punctuation – in writing on Friday, we are going to be assessing our punctuation. For homework you need to make a punctuation poster – you have to choose 1 piece of punctuation that you think is the best and explain why. You also need to use it in a sentence.

 

Maths

We are starting our new maths topic of multiplying and dividing. For homework choose at least 3 of the multiplying sums from below and draw number lines to show how they work

3 x 4                           8 x 9                           4 x 12                         1.5 x 6                       11 x 7

4 x 18                         3 x 29                         8 x 15

IDL

Our new IDL topic is going to be “Global Warming”. For homework you need to research Global warming. Specifically, can you find the answer to the following questions:

1. What is causing Global Warming?
2. Why is Global Warming a bad thing?
3. Which countries will be affected most if the sea levels rise?
4. What is the Paris agreement?
5. Which country has a leader who wants to withdraw them from the Paris agreement?

reading

In reading we were learning to read fluenly and write an assessment around the ladder and also top tips.

what we did to help us learn this was sounding out the words and recognising the word.

maths

Today in maths we started a new subject multiplcation and division.

We learned how to multiply.

Multiplying is when you repeatedly add the same number over and over again.

You can do this with number lines and with somehting called an array.

we did a mind map and a game called how close to 100!

By Calum, Euan and Mr McMullan

Today  we came into school and then we had to fix our spelling words for this week. it was ok sum people thought it was hard and some people found it easy.

 

Next we went to p.e it was hard today. We were doing activities and hard activities. We did 1 minte for each activity and no rest them we went around again for 20 seconss then had 10 secons rest.

 

 

Then we where doing maths today we where doing a naths comprehension activity. We had to then use these skills to create our own maths comprehension skills.

The key to making your own word problems is to choose a context and to plan the whole sum before you start writing.

After lunch in language, we were learning to answer questions with quotes from the text in your answer.

In learning to use quotes into the questions, we all love learning it is the best and there is a lot of pages to read .

 

HWB

we are leaning to be safer online. Please be be safe on line, or you might get upset.

Our new slogan is “Think before you click”

Paige and Mr McMullan

 

 

 

I.C.T, This morning in ict we designed a package for our sweets for the christmas fayre example: reindeers poop,snowmans poop and bah humbugs. Then we did a contest to see who’s were the best for each one. Eveyone deserved to win but we couldn’t choose everyone. Ater once we were finished we went on to active learn or sumdog.

Maths, After playtime we got our head’s down to finish our maths sheet. After that when we were done we checked them.Then we did reading to see how much you can get done.

 

Literacy, In literacy we did a spelling  test with our new spelling words.

Then the group called nouns started to retrieve they were putting their selfs into the characters shoes in their book called jammy dodgers on the run.Then the verbs were reading with Mr McMullan. Then after the verbs were done they needed to take notes then make a keynote about their book called Saving Finnagan.

Mrs R,  Music lesson

In music we were doing different types of instrements we were playing the keyboard,tambourine,drum we were listening to a video from last week and was playing along with it.

After Mrs R went we went over homework and we made top tips on how to do the blog for miss Donalds 

Next we went to Miss Donalds class to rehearse our song MR Mcmullan was giving out 100 points each to the people who sang the best.

Mr Mcmullan started to read stormbreaker and read in detail so we can get started in our own reading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next its reading today we are learning to retrieve information from our books and take notes from our pages. we had to  READ READ READ! because we played a game where you had to buzz if you reconized the book.

Now its the quizz.YESSS

The nouns won!
