Hello everyone and welcome to our Primary 4/5 Virtual Meet the Teacher. I asked the children what they would like me to include and although I could not mention everything that was suggested, I hope that you enjoy “visiting” our classroom.
To support your child at home, please encourage them to read, find the meaning of any new words and discuss the text. Individual texts have been allocated on Activelearn and there are quizzes to enjoy too! Sumdog and Activelearn are great resources for practising number and maths skills to support place value learning in class.
If you have any questions, then please type them in the Comment box and I will get back to you soon. I hope that we will be able to meet in person soon , but until then ……. enjoy the video!
For our instructions writing task today, we made pouches for our sanitisers. We followed the criteria for writing the steps and then used origami folds to make the real pouches. Great folding skills, everyone!!
This morning we were using our skills to think about what words meant and than checking them in the dictionary. Most of us agree that our dictionary skills are improving.
Today we were talking about important Skills for Learning and we were thinking about Communication Skills. One of our class members showed us some signs for words which could be used to communicate with others who are deaf or can’t hear very well.
May you could find out what these signs mean?
Everyone has been given a handprint template for Miss Ferguson’s special homework. In the fingers write words to describe yourself- this links nicely to the work we have been doing in class. Make the hand look attractive and make the words stand out. Once it is ready this week please bring it back to school with your name on the back of the sheet.
Today we watched a great art video by Cassie Stephens about the person behind the mask. We have finished the drawings of ourselves and are writing in the values and qualities that we have as individuals. We will use these next week when we think about how people have similarities and differences in their personalities.
Today we had our first school assembly. We sat in our own classes and watched the information on our class screen. We had our Star Pupils and Cool Class Cup winners announced which was great because we could all share in the success.
We were also learning about UNCRC Article 3 in our Rights lesson with Mrs Davidson and talking about the responsibility of adults to keep us safe.
Today we were writing instructions – How to make a face mask . We used different clues to work out the order of the steps, then wrote them as full instructions. We also matched diagrams to each step and finally we designed our own face masks.
This morning we were looking at our language work and thinking about what we are doing well and what our next steps might be. We decided that our handwriting needed some attention, so after practising some joins in class, we used the chalk to practise in the playground.
In the afternoon, we practised some dodging skills during our outdoor PE time.
You need to move your feet and your body to dodge your opponents. We put these skills into action in a game of tig where everyone is “it” at the same time!!
Please look out for some special homework on the main school blog, but for class homework please read Chapter 3 of Escape from Black Mountain and look at some reading books/ maths games on Activelearn and carry on trying to achieve skills levels in Sumdog. Remember that good accuracy means more rewards! Good luck 😉
Today we were learning about the UNCRC Article 1- all children under 18 have the Rights the UNCRC talks about, no matter who they are. We were thinking about how we respect others in different ways.
