Here we are again, the start of another week!

Smile and get ……

This week, there is going to be another Sumdog competition between Primary 4 and ourselves based on Place Value, so let’s see if we can be the successful class this time! It is all set to go this morning, so don’t delay!! We need as many people joining in as possible, please.

Okay, so let’s get on with today’s learning.

Spelling – Words ending in ier and iest

With these words we are comparing the level or amount of something e.g. happy, happier, happiest and as you can see, the y has been changed to an i.  So here, you are seeing the reason for some of the spelling rules that you have already seen in your own spelling walls.

Please write or type out your words 3 times, checking that they are correct!

Please read the information and then follow the examples to complete your tasks. Write the date, I can use ier and iest to compare words correctly and as usual please traffic light/ comment on how you got on with learning and applying the skill.

This quick quiz will help you to learn the rules for adding these endings.

Number

Here is your morning maths starter. Again, lots of maths skills to keep your mind active and help you to apply different number functions.

Number – Reading and writing numbers

When you write the number in words, you write it as you would say it  e.g. 56, 738  is fifty six thousand, seven hundred and thirty–eight. You must remember to put in the and and  hyphen – if you need to. There is no excuse for incorrect spelling as I have provide you with all the words that you will need!

So, now it’s time for you to practise reading and writing numbers with 4 and 5 digits. Write the date and I can read and write numbers correctly.  Follow the instructions and explain why some of these are wrong by referring to place values etc.

To finish off today, this game focuses on place value headings and also revises multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100.

Have you tried the relaxation links that were on the school blog? I tried Mrs McMillan’s “Take a Moment ” activity and found it really useful.

Well, everyone, catch up with you tomorrow, and don’t forget the Sumdog competition and logging any activity onto the Get Set link from last week.
