Literacy:

We have been looking at the homophones:

Were, where, we’re and wear

Remember homophones sound the same but look different because they are spelt different.

1. We’re (short for ‘we are’)
2. Where (used for places or positions ‘where is London?’ or ‘where is my  pencil?’)
3. Were (past tense ‘we were watching TV’)
4. Wear (what you do with your clothes ‘I am wearing my school uniform’)

Choose the correct word, write these sentences into you jotter neatly and remember to underline the word with a ruler.

1. _____ going to the cinema tomorrow.
2. ____ did the new pupil come from?
3. Clothes to _____ for Summer are in the shops.
4. _____ can she be?
5. How many boys _____ with you?
6. _____ you here last night when we _____ visiting?
7. We _____ going to the lane _____ we could pick blackberries.
8. They _____ looking for a place _____ they could rest.
9. This is the house _____ we lived while you _____ a baby.
10. The bus was late and _______ late for school.

 

Or:  Put the 4 homophones (were, where, we’re and wear) words into a sentence.  You need to write at least 6 sentences.

This afternoon we had a few good warm ups: bean bag tig and line tig then we went onto play a highly competitive game of Kingball.  Remember to bring £1 to school for Children in Need and, if you can, wear something spotty.  At some point tomorrow you’ll be working outside don’t forget a warm jacket.

This afternoon we met Duncan, the Reserve Manager, to find out more about the development of the footpath and the species found at the Luggie.  Duncan has arranged for a pond to be built for our school and has asked us to take photographs throughout the year to capture the ponds development.  He also asked our class to come back to the reserve after Christmas to help unveil the signage.

Literacy

This week for spelling, we have been looking at the homophones:

they’re, there and their.

Remember homophones sound the same but look different because they are spelt different.

We are going to investigate this set of homophones: their there they’re

Write five sentences containing each word. Their is a possessive, it means ‘belonging to them’. For example: Their chairs were in the hall. 1………………………………………………………………………………………………………

2………………………………………………………………………………………………………

3……………………………………………………………………………………………………… 4………………………………………………………………………………………………………

5………………………………………………………………………………………………………

 

There tells you where something is. It is used with is, are, was, and were, for example: There is a dog in the classroom.

1………………………………………………………………………………………………………

2………………………………………………………………………………………………………

3………………………………………………………………………………………………………

4………………………………………………………………………………………………………

5………………………………………………………………………………………………………

 

They’re always means they are. For example: They’re going on a trip today.

1………………………………………………………………………………………………………

2………………………………………………………………………………………………………

3………………………………………………………………………………………………………

4………………………………………………………………………………………………………

5………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Can you make a list of other homophones you know?

Maths

I can recall my number bonds quickly and accurately and can use multiples of 10 and 100 to create new facts

Write a guide

Ask children to write a short guide to help younger children to understand how to find totals and differences of multiples of 10 and 100 using facts already known,

e.g. how to work out 150 – 80, 700 + 1600 or 2500 –1800.

Children in Need:

As children in Need is on Friday here is a link to some official Children in Need resources.

https://www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/schools/scotland/resources.

Choose some of the activities from this link or create a poster encouraging people to wear Spots to school on Friday

N.B.  This homework should be handed in on Tuesday 21^st November

Please remember to bring your wellies/old shoes/boots and a coat with a hood as we’re going down to The Luggie tomorrow (Wed 15th Nov).

This morning, as part of our Health and Wellbeing topic on Reacting to Peer Pressure, Gregor and Gary our local Community Police came to speak to P6.  We found out the different names for drugs and discussed the classifications of drugs.  We also discussed what can happen if your friends take drugs and become involved with the police.  We were surprised to learn that if someone gets a police record because of drugs they won’t be able to do certain jobs.

We had many volunteers who wanted to see if the were flexible enough to escape from the handcuffs.

This afternoon, after been chased by an excited boxer dog, we went down to The Luggie.  We revisited some of the names of the trees and wildlife then found out about how the river flows and how the debris travels long the river.  We also investigated why one part of a river is deeper than another.  Finally, we had to create 3, 4 or 5 digit number a then round them to them to the nearest 10 and 100.

PLEASE REMEMBER WELLIES OR OLD SHOES/BOOTS AND COAT.  HOPEFULLY WE ARE OFF TO THE LUGGIE TOMORROW (WED)
