Good morning boys and girls,

I can’t believe we have arrived at the very last Friday of Primary 4! 😮 On Monday, Woodlands Primary is taking part in the North Lanarkshire Schools Virtual Sports Day. 🥚 🥄

There are 7 events that will happen throughout the day. On Monday you should post your pictures and videos to the Woodlands Twitter Page @WoodlandsCnauld with the hashtag #NLSportsDay for us to retweet.

The best photo or video will win a £50 worth of sports equipment for our school. Check out all of the info on the main blog page. 😃

Here are today’s Health and Well-being lessons with the theme of ‘KEEP LEARNING‘ 📚💚

What are you going to do to maximise your learning this week? 🤔

Friday 19th June 2020

LITERACY – Write a ‘Recipe for Success’ ✏️ 

Today’s task is to write your own recipe for success in Primary 4. 😃

You will need to include:

• a Title (A Recipe for Success in P4)
• You Will Need: (4 things that you feel you will need most to succeed or do well in P4)
• Method (How to use them throughout the year 2-5 sentences)
• Matching illustration

Here is an example to show you. Remember in the ‘You Will Need’ section, you only need to write 4 things. ✏️

You can choose to use paper or record in your jotter neatly. Read and check over your spelling and check that what you have written makes sense. 🔍

 

MATHS – Measuring Volume and Capacity💙

1. Take part in making/baking from a simple recipe. You will need some help from an adult with this task. It could be something as simple as making/preparing a snack or baking and measuring out the ingredients that you will use. Have fun! 😃

2. Complete the measuring worksheet by looking carefully at the water level. You also need to think carefully about the scale as you may need to count in 10’s, 5’s and 25’s. (Half of 50 is 25)

Read and check over your work.🔍

 

ACTIVE – Orienteering 🗺 

Why not take some time out of your day to learn the First Steps in Orienteering. Here is a step by step guide you can follow which even includes a badge at the end. 🛡 Enjoy! 😃

 

Have a Fantastic Friday everyone! 😃

Mrs Maher 🍎

Good morning Primary 4,

Today is our second day of our Health and Wellbeing focus. Today’s theme is Take Notice – What can we do to value the world around us? 🌳🍂🌸🌻🐿🌺🌼

LITERACY – Handwriting (nature) ✏️ 🌺

Copy your nature poem ‘At the Bottom of the Garden’ in your neatest handwriting and demonstrate all of the joins that you have learned.

Take a new line for each new piece of information, begin each line with a capital letter and include the correct punctuation. 🌳🕷🐞🍃🌼🐜🐛🦋🐝

Remember to take care with your horizontal join from the letter ‘o’ and take care with your flick for the letter ‘r’ as this helps you join to the next letters more easily.

Why not read out your poem to a friend or family member? 👍🏼

 

MATHS – Data Handling (nature) 🌻🕊

Read the bar graph carefully that shows the trees planted in Atholl wood. There are four types of tress: oak, beech, birch and elm and the number of trees planted are shown. Answer questions 1-3.

Read the pictogram carefully that shows the number of Finches at the bird tables. One picture of a Finch represents 10 finches and half of a picture represents 5 Finches. Answer the questions 4a-b, 5a-b and 6.

Why not learn more about ‘Types of Finches’ on RSPB and hear their calls. You could look out for them while taking part in your daily exercise or walk. 😃🌳

 

ACTIVE – Nature Walk Scavenger Hunt

Take some time out of your day to sit in the garden or get outdoors and enjoy some fresh air. Take part in our Nature Walk Scavenger Hunt. Stephen and I got so close to a little squirrel yesterday who was looking for food. You never know, what you might find! 🌳🌸🐿🍃🌼🕷

 

Have a Terrific Tuesday everyone! 😁

Mrs Maher 🍎

Good Morning Primary 4,

I hope you all had a great weekend! I can’t believe this is the last full week of term. This has been such a quick year! 😊

I am heading back into school this week to continue getting organised for August. What are you doing today? Get in touch and let me know! 👍🏼

This week’s focus is linked to Health and Wellbeing. 💚

Here are today’s lessons liked to Connecting – How can you make time for others?

 

Monday 15th June 2020 ✏️ 

 

Literacy – Spelling ✏️ 

Compliment Clouds – Spelling

It is important to give compliments. When someone gives you a compliment and says something nice to you, it makes you feel good. When you say something kind to someone else, it also makes you feel good. When you are in class or at home, try to give compliments. For example:

“You’re a good friend!”

“You’re really kind!”

“You’re really helpful!”

Task:  Create 3 compliment clouds with accurate spelling. Use your compliment word bank below or think of your own positive words to describe 3 of your friends/family members. You can draw the clouds and write the words in your jotter or you can make the compliment clouds if you have materials available at home and hang them up. 🌈 ☁️ 😃

You must complete 3 compliment clouds, each with a name inside and 5 positive words that describe what you like about them. 😃
🔍 Remember to check over the order of your letters to show accurate spelling.

WORD BANK

kind, caring, talented, loving, energetic, helpful, hard working, imaginative, playful, responsible, clever, artistic, elegant, beautiful, handsome, wonderful, silly, funny, thoughtful, cool, incredible, amazing, brilliant, special, generous, brave and honest.

 

KINDNESS DIARY

Throughout the week,  keep a kindness diary. Write down times when you were kind to others and when others were kind to you.

Here are some random acts of kindness to inspire you:

MATHS – KINDNESS BOARD GAME 💙

Design your own board game using times tables of your choice.

You can add in your own ‘Acts of kindness’ or use some ideas from above. Players should perform these before moving on in the game. Complete by colouring in the game board and playing as 2 or more players.

 

BIRD HUNT

Why not take some time out today to get outdoors In the fresh air. Go for a walk and see which birds you can find. Here are some kinds of birds that you will see from Springtime while you are out and about on your adventures.

Have a great Monday! 😃

Mrs Maher 🍎

Warm-up Task: Doubles🔵

Practise your skills of doubling and make links with the two times table and repeated addition:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

 

Main Activity – Multiplying by 10 and 100🔵

• I can say that when I multiply by 10 the digits move one place to the left
• I can say that when I multiply by 100 the digits move two places to the left
•  I can demonstrate using my rule accurately

Read the posters to remind you of how to multiply by 10 and 100.

 

Read each question carefully. Think about what it is asking you to do. When you multiply by 10 you will add a 0 to your answer as the digits move one place to the left. When you multiply by 100 you will add 00 to your answer as the digits move two place to the left. For example:

1. 45 x 10 = 450m

Remember to record m as you are recording the measurement in metres.

6.  104 x 10 = 1,040m

11. 47 x 100 = 4,700

14.  7 x 100 = 700

18.  49 x 10 = 490

Good morning Primary 4,

Yesterday I went into school to finish tidying our classroom. I was surprised by how much stuff I have! The classroom is empty and my house is now very full. 😂

I hope you all managed to stay positive yesterday. What kinds of things did you do to stay positive? I listened to music, went out a walk with Stephen on his scooter, spoke with friends and smiled as much as possible. 😃

Maths: Subtraction ✏️ 

Warm up task:  Doubles

Practise your skill of doubling on Hit the Button:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Try out different levels on the Number range or try Multiples of 10/ 5/ 50.

 

Main Activity – Subtracting 3-digit numbers by 3-digit number✏️ 

• I can count back accurately
• I can demonstrate how to exchange

Read each sum carefully. Record each sum in your jotter, taking care to stack your digits neatly underneath each other. This will help you to clearly see your HTU columns. 😃

Remember when you are subtracting two digits and you ‘don’t have enough’ or ‘can’t do it’ you then need to exchange. We practised this by going to the left column, subtracting 1 (1 set of ten) and then exchanging this over to the column that needs it and marking a 1 beside that digit. Then you have enough to do the subtraction. 👍🏼

Watch the videos if you would like a reminder of how to exchange:  (We call the Ones column, the Units)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zy2mn39/articles/zc78srd

If you can manage this mentally then that is brilliant. You can also use your fingers or number line to help you.

✏️ Here are today’s lessons:

Tuesday 9th June 2020

 

Literacy: Handwriting  ✏️ 

Warm up

• I can practise my small letters: same height and size (or)

In your jotter, write your date, title and ‘I can’ neatly. Copy your join ‘or’ and the sentence from above. Take care to hook the letter o to r by using the horizontal join. When you bring your pencil down, up and round for ‘r’ this hook will help you to join the letter to other letters. (horse, snore, force)

FOCUS – A. Copy this pattern into your book. B. Copy the joined letters ‘or’ for one line in your jotter, ‘aw’ for a second line in your jotter and ‘au’ for a third line in your jotter. These small letters should all be the same height and size, half way up on the line.

 

Main Activity ✏️ 

• I can trace and write pattern, letters and words accurately
• I can copy and complete sentences in my neatest handwriting

EXTRA – Copy these words into your jotter. Take care when joining ore, orc, awl and awe.

EXTENSION – Copy the sentences into your jotter using your neatest handwriting. Include the missing words in your sentences.

Remember to include your capital letters, clear finger spaces and full stops at the end of your sentences.

Read and check over your work. 🔍

When you search for a book that you like, click on the front cover to open it then read the first page. If there are too many tricky words, it’s not the best book for you. If there are just a few tricky words then this is a perfect read!

 

Maths: Adddition 🔢

Warm up task:  Number Bonds

Practise your addition number bonds on Hit the Button:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

🌶Up to 10 – Try missing numbers

🌶🌶Up to 20 – Try U+U+U for adding several numbers

🌶🌶🌶Up to 100 – Try making 100

 

Main Activity: Adding several numbers 🔢

• I can group helpful numbers
• I can count on accurately

Read each question carefully.  Record your number sentence in your jotter. Group the most helpful numbers together first to make your adding easier. Remember to record p because you are finding the cost in pence.

Find the total cost of each set of stamps. For example:

1.a.  22p + 8p + 3p + 7p + 9p = 49p

You should group the helpful numbers together first, starting with the largest number.

You can also use your 100-square to help you count on. 👍🏼
