Morning everyone!  I hope that you are all doing well!  Today to keep active you could follow a  Cosmic Kids yoga tutorial 🧘‍♀️: https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga/videos

Did anyone make a rainbow for their window yesterday?  Here is a picture of the one in my window! 🌈

 

Literacy:

Today we will be practising our handwriting! ✏

 

Tuesday 31^st March

Handwriting

I can practise writing words with break letters.

 

Warm Up:

Practise these patterns in your jotter.  Focus on your letter height and spacing your letters a good distance apart.

Main Task:

Activity 1: Write a line of ‘ight’ in your jotters and circle or underline the best one.  Remember that g’s are break letters and therefore they do not join.

 

Activity 2: Copy the words in the box into your jotter in your best handwriting.

1. fight
2. light
3. might

and so on…

Then, next to each word write the synonym from the bottom of the photo beside it (not every ‘ight’ word has a synonym).  For example:

4. right                 correct

 

Activity 3: Copy this sentence into your jotter.  Concentrate on making the letters join smoothly from one to another, try to only lift your pencil for break letters.

Extension:

Copy this poem into your jotter in your neatest handwriting.

Main Task: Doubles and Near Doubles

31.03.20         Doubles and Near Doubles

I can use ‘near doubles’ to add two next-door numbers.

 

Activity 1: Doubling 2-digit numbers

Partition these 2-digit numbers into tens and units.  Double the tens, double the units then add them together to get your answer.

 

Activity 2: Doubling 3-digit numbers

Match up each yellow number with its red double.  Remember to break the number down by partitioning to help you.

 

Activity 3:

Use your knowledge of doubling to answer these near double addition sums.  Remember once you have worked out the double all you have to do is add or subtract one to calculate the answer.

Traffic Light today’s work and leave a comment to say how you found adding doubling and adding near doubles today.

 

Extension:

Literacy:

Today for our literacy task we will be practising our spelling! 📝

 

Monday 30^th March

Spelling

I can practise my -ness and -ment endings.

 

Warm Up:

A: Write the numbers 1-5 in your jotters.  Write the key word that each picture reminds you most of.

B: Create two lists, one for words that you can add the suffix ‘-ness’ to the end of, and another for words that you can add the suffix ‘-ment’ to the end of.

-ness	-ment
illness	enjoyment
and so on…

Main Task:

Write the words 1-10 in your jotter.  Add the suffix ‘-ness’ or ‘-ment’ on to the end of the 10 words, deciding whether you need to change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ first (you only have to when the ‘y’ makes the ‘ee’ sound).

Then, use four of your new words in a sentence.

Extension:

Use each of the ‘cess’ words in a sentence to show what it means.  If you aren’t sure, look up the words in an online dictionary to help you.

Miss Donaldson 💕

Good morning Primary 5, what a strange week!  I think I’m starting to get used to staying in my house now and I hope that you are settling into your new routine too!

Did any of you take part in the Clap for our Carers last night?  I did and I thought it was a really lovely way to show our appreciation for the nurses, doctors and others who are working tirelessly just now to help people who are ill.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about you could read this news article which explains it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52008734.   This is a video of people taking part last night (it includes a clip of people taking part in Glasgow): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-52054745/clap-for-our-carers-national-applause-for-coronavirus-health-workers.

Here are some mini football challenges that you could try from your garden or during your daily exercise time! ⚽️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeY_PhhUyLs.  Alternatively you could try this Zumba dance to Old Town Road in your bedroom or living room 💃🏼: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoYxG0avSfY.

 

Literacy:

Today for our literacy task we will be writing an information report! ✏

 

Friday 27^th March

Information Report

I can write an information report.

 

Warm Up:

In class we recently started learning about information reports as we were writing one all about Fairtrade.  Watch this clip on BBC Bitesize to remind yourself of the key features of a report. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkgcwmn/articles/zffy92p.

Main Task:

Today we are going to be writing an information report on an animal.  This could be your favourite animal or simply an animal that you think would be interesting to write an information report on. 🦁🐨🐢🐬🦧🦊🐻🐆🐋🦘🦥🦒🦡🦓🦎🦏🦋🐘🦅🦔🐊🦍🦉

Here are some examples of animal information reports:

Your success criteria today are:

✔ Title (name of animal)

✔ Subheading 1: Appearance (what they look like)

✔ Subheading 2: Habitat (where they are found)

✔ Subheading 3: Diet (what they eat)

✔ Subheading 4: Habits (what they do)

✔ Subheading 5: Predators/Threats (do they have any animals that eat them or are they endangered?)

✔ Subheading 6: Other Facts and Information

✔ You can also include a drawing of the animal if you wish.

 

You will need to research the animal and take notes on these subheadings.  Remember you must write in your own words, you can’t just copy straight from the website!

Extension:

Complete the quiz at the bottom of the BBC Bitesize clip you watched for the starter task. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkgcwmn/articles/zffy92p

 

If you would like to do a little more writing there is an excellent podcast just now run by a man named Pie Corbett.  He broadcasts it every day, but I would advise that you start on his first one (Monday 23^rd March) as he explains how to do the interactive activities and everything will make a lot more sense!

Literacy:

Today we will be working on comprehension!

 

Wednesday 25^th March

Comprehension

I can demonstrate my understanding of a text by making an inference.

 

Warm Up:

Watch the following BBC bitesize clip to remind yourself about the skill of inference.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zs44jxs/articles/zqmyw6f

Remember inference is all about using what you have read to make a good guess!

Main Task:

It had grown busy while I had been in the water. Deck chairs had been dragged out. Families had pitched little tents. Balls, Frisbees and kites seemed to be everywhere. Hundreds of adults were just laid there, rigid on their towels while the children ran around shouting and squealing irritatingly.

It always got like this at the weekend. I had warned Granddad. It would have been better to have come in the evening when all the crowds had gone home. I sighed. Granddad seemed oblivious, sat in his chair reading his book, his feet buried in the sand.

The sun was at its height and beat down mercilessly.

“Perhaps you should put some cream on Granddad,” I said with concern.

 

1) Where is the scene set? Find evidence from the text to support your answer (use quotes).

2) Why did the narrator think it would have been better to have come in the evening?

3) Why is the narrator concerned about Granddad?

4) Do you think the narrator is having fun? Explain your answer.

5) Would you like to be there? Explain your answer referring to the text (quote from text).

The last thing that I wanted to tell you about before I let you go is the BBC school radio website.  There is lots to have a listen to; from music lessons where you can learn about what all the different instruments sound like, to audio stories, history lessons and French lessons (we listened to some of these already this year, do you remember radio Labo?).  There is enough on there to keep you busy for months! Have an explore and learn more about something that interests you: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/audio-stories/zh3t2sg

Have a great day!

Miss Donaldson 🌼

Good morning!  I hope you and your families are all well and in good spirits.  Did any of you tune in to P.E. with Joe yesterday?  I did and it was really fun – if you want to give it a go yesterday’s video can be found through this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz0go1pTda8.  Alternatively, I know that there are some of you that love a dance.  If you follow the following link you can dance along with the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCzgc_RelBA. (This YouTube channel also has lots of other tutorials that you can have a go at!)🕺

Literacy:

As discussed yesterday today we will be doing some handwriting practice! ✏

Tuesday 24^th March

Handwriting

I can use a variety of joins in my writing.

 

Warm Up:

Practise the swings pattern in your jotters.  This will help you with a variety of different joins.

Main Task:

Now check that you remember how to make each type of join.  For each join write a line of the main join (am for the first join, ul for the second join, ow for the third join, rb for the fourth join).  Then, choosing 4 of the example words, do a line of each (remember to circle or underline the one that you think is best in each line).

For example for the first join you might do:

am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am

came came came came came came came came came came

lace lace lace lace lace lace lace lace lace lace lace lace lace

made made made made made made made made made made

name name name name name name name name name name

and so on!

Check that you have made the joins correctly and your letters are the correct height.  You should be aiming to be able to write these words smoothly, evenly and easily.

Extension:

Write the following sentence in your jotter, concentrating on your joins:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Every day for the next 30 days David Walliams is going to be releasing the audiobook of one of his short stories.  Yesterday’s story comes from his book ‘The World’s Worst Children’ and is entitled ‘The Terrible Triplets’.  Have a listen, it’s really funny!

Extension:

Complete the following 3 questions.

Can you make up your own 3 questions using the numbers?  For example: How many stamps does Emma have if she gives Daljit 100?  How many stamps would Daljit have?

 

Use the website from yesterday to generate random 5-digit numbers.  Test yourself to see if you can add 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 to them.

https://numbergenerator.org/random-5-digit-number-generator

 

Remember to use Sumdog maths too!

 

Lastly, I came across this art and design 30 day challenge and I thought I would pass it on just in case any of you are struggling to find something to do.  You don’t have to do them in order, it’s just some ideas of things you can do with items you can find around your house. 🎨👨🏼‍🎨

Have a great day!

Miss Donaldson 👩🏻‍🏫💫

 

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).

http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/placevalue/BPOrder1000.htm

 

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 ❤️

This morning we were continuing with our information reports on Fairtrade. Then, this afternoon we were helping the Primary 1’s to read their Sumdog questions.

Miss Donaldson ✨

P5 have been taking part in a variety of sports-related activities today from scavenger hunts, to designing a sports relief mascot, to dancing!  A big thank you to everyone who brought along a pound to donate.

🤸🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️ Miss Donaldson 🎾⛳️

This morning we have been completing our reading tasks. The group reading Kaspar: Prince of Cats were working on reading between the lines and gathering evidence from the text to support their answers.  The group reading The Queen’s Nose were working on their visualisation skills and the group reading Mad Trad Tales were working on their summarising skills.
