Good morning boys and girls, 😃

Well we’ve made it to the Easter holidays. Well done for all your hard work. 👍🏼

I hope you have managed to keep up with Joe Wicks this week. We will all be so fit and healthy by the time we get back to school so well done to you all. Keep tuning in everyday at 9am for some fun fitness. Our favourite has been the bunny hops and the Spider-Man, what is yours? 🏃🏼‍♂️

 

Here are today’s lessons:

Friday 3rd April

Literacy: Writing

Warm up task: Spelling practise

• I can read, write and spelling my common words

Word list: was, with, now, down, look, too, you, he, she, we, me, be (Revise)

Task: Record your date, title and I can in your jotter. Practise your spelling words everyday in a different way in your jotter. You can choose an Activity from your grid. This could be: rainbow spelling, bubble words, ABC words (alphabetical order), curly words, word shapes, capital and lower case words or just write out 4x in your jotter. Check over your work!

Main Activity – Writing an acrostic poem

Watch the Christian Story of Easter and listen carefully to the facts about the end of Jesus’ life.

Record the words ‘EASTER SUNDAY’ vertically (downwards) in your jotter using capital letters. Use what you have learned from the video about Easter to create your own words/phrases for your acrostic poem.

for e.g.

Easter celebrates the end of Jesus’ life

All Christians remember the crucifixion on Good Friday

Task: Record your poem vertically in your jotter like this and fill in your spaces with relevant words/phrases. Remember to remove the first letter of the word as it’s given to you in your jotter. You could also draw an illustration at the end to match your poem if you wish.

E___________         S___________

A___________         U___________

S___________          N___________

T___________          D___________

E___________          A___________

R___________         Y___________

Check and read over your poem and spelling. 🔍

Music – Listen and join in with the Spring Chicken Easter song that we sing in assembly. Can you add in your own actions?

 

Maths: Coordinates

• I can read coordinates and locate them on a grid
• I can describe the position to plot the coordinates

Focus – When you are reading or writing coordinates, we use the strategy of ‘along the corridor and up the stairs.’ This reminds us to look along the bottom horizontal axis first and then look up the vertical straight axis on the left next to meet the correct point.

Task A: Record your title, I Can and Q1-12 in your jotter. What Easter image is at the following coordinates? Use the word bank at the bottom to help you with your spelling. for e.g.

1. ( 3 , 1 ) = Bluebells

(This means we have looked along 3 and up 1 square to meet the + point)

 

 

Task B: Record Q1-16 in your jotter. Help the Easter bunny find his eggs by writing the coordinates of each egg. Remember, look along the bottom first and then look up. (Along the corridor and up the stairs) Write your coordinates inside brackets with a comma between each axis line. ( ? , ? )

for e.g. 1. (A,4)

Sumdog  Activity: Take part in at least 10 minutes of Sumdog today. Our Sumdog maths class challenge with P4/5 finishes at 3pm! Keep an eye out for your name on the leaderboard as you improve your accuracy. 🏆

Well done to those who took part yesterday! 👍🏼

METEORITES ☄

Friday 3 April. We head to The Planetarium at Glasgow Science Centre to hear from Nina about some of the questions she’s asked about space, get a close up of some meteorites and how you may be able to find your own if you’re very lucky. Ideal for budding astronomer and space enthusiasts aged 7 and over.

Hopefully the weather will be kind to us and you can have fun playing in your gardens or going for walks and cycles. I hope the Easter Bunny brings you a chocolate egg.🐰

Have a super weekend and Easter break until Monday 20th April. Stay Safe! 😁
