Good morning Primary 5, I hope that you are all well and looking forward to the challenge of working from home! Hopefully it doesn’t last long, and we get back to our classroom in no time! 🤞🏻
Okay so Mrs McLeod, Mrs Maher and I all got together to create a timetable of work that will keep us in a routine-of-sorts whilst we are away. This is the plan:
| Literacy | Maths | |
| Mondays | Spelling | Place Value |
| Tuesdays | Handwriting | Addition |
| Wednesdays | Comprehension | Subtraction |
| Thursdays | Grammar/Punctuation | Multiplication |
| Fridays | Writing Focus/Free Writing | Division |
Now Mrs McLeod and Mrs Maher and I have all agreed to this timetable so if you are finding the work on our blog a little too tricky for you please just jump over to Mrs McLeod or Mrs Maher’s blog and try some of the tasks that they have set. All the teachers are working as a team just now so that everyone has something that is at their level! The work on the Primary 5 blog is going to have the trickiest work of the three. Similarly, if you are finding the work on our blog too easy feel free to have a look at what Mrs Pollock is up to with her class!
Onto today’s tasks!
Literacy
Warm Up:
In your jotters write the date (Monday 23rd March), heading (Spelling) and I can (I can use my spelling strategies to help me spell accurately).
Find the missing letters and copy the words into your jotters.
Main Task:
I can create adjectives by adding y.
A: *Top Tip* You may need to double the last letter of some of the words.
B: *Top Tip* You need to drop the last letter of each word.
Extension:
I can write the plural of a singular noun.
A: 4 words add ‘es’ to end; 1 word add ‘s’ to end and 1 word you need to drop last letter and add ‘ies’.
B and C: *Top Tip* You may need to drop the last letter of some of the words!
Remember to practise your spelling on Sumdog for at least 10 minutes each day too! Alternatively, this is a game I found on Topmarks which I thought you might like! http://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/spookySpellings/index.html

Traffic Light today’s work and leave a comment to say how you found reading, writing and ordering 5-digit numbers today. 🙂
Extension:
Use this website to generate random 5-digit numbers. Test yourself to see whether you can read, write and order them.
https://numbergenerator.org/random-5-digit-number-generator
If you have a computer this is a great game that will allow you to order numbers up to 1 million (it doesn’t work on tablets or phones unfortunately).

This game is tablet and mobile friendly though unfortunately it is only up to 4-digit numbers. However, it does have a decimal numbers option!

The Daily10 allows you to practise a wide range of maths: partitioning, ordering, addition, subtraction, rounding, multiplication, division, doubles and halves. Please make sure that you don’t forget your tables now that we aren’t practising them in class every day! Here is a link to the Daily10: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10
Remember to use Sumdog maths too!
One more thing I wanted to point out to you is that there is a man called Joe Wicks who is going to be doing a live P.E. class every morning at 9 o’clock on his YouTube channel which I think is a great idea to keep us all active whilst we are cooped up in our houses. His YouTube channel is available through this link: https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
I know I’ll definitely be trying to follow along with him every day! 🏃♀️
Over the coming days and weeks I’ll continue to point you towards useful websites and YouTube channels that I think could help you in your learning or keep you occupied but I think that’s enough waffle from me for today! Try to help your parents out in the house with a couple of chores – there’s no excuses for not having your bed made and your room tidy just now! Lastly, if you are ever feeling bored just remember:
Miss Donaldson ❤️
