Good morning everyone!
I hope that you all had a nice weekend and managed to spend some time in the sunshine. ☀
Well done, We won last week’s Sumdog challenge against P4/5 again. 😃
Well done to: Sonny, Callum Isla, Szymon, Ryan, Hollie, Nathan, Emily, Rebekah, Lilly and Gabriella. You all made it to the leader board and improved your maths skills. 👍🏼
Here are today’s lessons:
Monday 4th May
Literacy: Spelling ✏
Use your spelling method to help you learn your words:
LOOK: at a small group of words and their letter patterns.
SAY: the words quietly, thinking about the letter patterns.
COVER: the key word list.
WRITE: the group of words you have practised
CHECK: how many you have spelt correctly. If you need to, have another go.
Warm up
- I can read, write and spell words with ‘nch’ and ‘tch.’
Task – Focus – Record your date, title and I can in your jotter. Write out your words from the key word box using look, say, cover, write, check with a finger space between each word.
A) Look at the picture clues. Find words from the key word box that rhyme with these pictures. Record your answers in your jotter.
B) Write three other tch and nch key words from the word bank into your jotter.
C) Write a sentence that includes one tch and one nch of your key words in it.
Main Activity
- I can use my rule of adding ing to verbs
- I can use my rule od adding es to make plurals
Task: Extra – Q1-6 Look and read the words in the word bank. Find a word in the box to match each picture.
Extension – A) Make these words plural: scratch, sketch, ditch, pitch, witch, stitch, switch, finch, bunch, lunch, punch, bench, patch and hutch. B) Can you think why we add ‘ed’ and not just ‘s’ to make ch words plural?
Read and check over your work. 🔍
Finisher: Word Hunt. Can you find any other words that have ‘nch’ or ‘tch?’ Record them in your jotter or draw a picture of them.
Maths: Place Value
Warm up
- I can order numbers from the smallest to the largest.
Task – Q1-6. Write each pair of numbers in order from smallest to largest.
Main Activity
- I can use symbols to help me to describe number relationships – Up to 1000.
Task – Q1-6. Write the Less than < or Greater than > symbol between each pair of numbers in your jotter. Reminder: in class we asked ourselves the number sentence out loud to help us. For example:
- 431<763
(We asked ourselves ‘Is 431 Greater than (>) or less than (<) 763?’ We know that 431 is less than 763 by looking at the Hundreds so we use the < symbol)
Q7-14. Write your own number to make it true. for example:
7. 56<101 (56 is less that 101)
Check over your answers and traffic-light your work. 🚦
Fun Finisher

Today on Glasgow’s Science Centre 🧪 🧬
MAKE A PLANISPHERE 🌍
Monday 4 May. What is a planisphere and why would we need one to look at the night sky? You’ll see how you can make a planisphere with our handy planisphere print out. We will show you how to use the planisphere for backyard astronomy. You’ll need the planisphere print out (download below), some scissors, blu tack, a split pin (or similar) and some adult permission and supervision. Most suitable for budding astronomers aged 7 and over.
Right now we can’t control what’s going on around us, but we can choose how we respond – everyone at Woodlands wishes you a Meaningful May. Check out the main page for a fun Meaningful May calendar.
Have a lovely day everyone! 👍🏼
