Hi everybody,

Here’s my last art post to you all.

We are now in the last week of school and we would normally have the opportunity to visit our new teacher for the afternoon to get to know them and get excited about being in their class in August.

I’d want to ask you a question……What makes you happy?

Toys? Food? Family? Friends Pets? Holidays? …………..

This art activity is the chance to let your new teacher know what makes you tick and especially what makes you happy. I know that it is important to us teachers that we get to know you and this little piece of art will help us do that. Please send your completed work to your current class teacher as normal and then I can make sure they get passed on to your new teacher.

P7’s – please do this activity as I can get it passed on to your guidance teachers in the high school.

Don’t worry if you can’t print this off. Perhaps you could make a small video showing off what makes you happy. If you are feeling especially creative you could make a PowerPoint, film an iMovie, create a poster or simply draw it on a piece of paper.

Lastly when you do this activity make sure you are feeling happy to do it and that will keep everyone in your house happy too 😀

Happy Friday everyone!

Thank you for all your hard work this week. I can’t believe we only have 1 week left until the holidays.

Today is a catch up day. I hope you enjoy some chill time.

Have a lovely weekend!

Hi,

Technology fail!!!!

Apologies that  the camouflage powerpoint didn’t work properly.

Camouflage Adaptation a

This should have audio in it now!!

Let me know if this doesn’t work. I will repost on dojo as soon as possible. Having some more technical issues at the moment!

Mrs Campbell 😀

Hi there,

I have a fun activity for you to do today. It’s all about animals using camouflage which is a way of hiding something by covering or colouring it so that it looks like its surroundings.

I have a PowerPoint with audio (suitable for P1-7)  that tells you the four different ways that animals and insects use camouflage to protect themselves from being eaten!

It doesn’t matter what year you are in, you can choose to do any one of the three tasks that are listed in the PowerPoint.

The natural world is full of wonders and I hope you will learn a bit about how animals adapt themselves to survive in different environments.

Have a good day,

Mrs Campbell 😀

Good morning P6

Here are the literacy and numeracy tasks for today. Good luck and let me know how you get on 🙂

Literacy

Today you have a choice of 2 ‘Nowhere Emporium’ tasks. You can choose 1 to do or if you’re looking for a challenge you could try both. Copies of these are at the bottom.

The first one is a Blankety Blank. Read the passage and use the words in the box at the bottom to fill in the missing spaces. Remember to imagine the word is in the sentence and check that it would make sense.

The second activity is a Picture It. This is a description from Chapter 27. I recently read this chapter on Dojo if you would like to listen to it. Use the description to draw your own picture of what is happening. Use the words in the passage to label your picture.

Numeracy

If you do Maths Seeds with Mrs Campbell, play 30 minutes of Maths Seeds. Then play this decimals game ordering the decimals from lowest to highest. http://flash.topmarks.co.uk/4022

If you have Workbook 6 I’m looking for you to complete activities 23 and 27. I have included pictures of these below. Remember you can use the place value table from yesterday to help remind you of the columns for tenths and hundredths.

Morning,

Hope you’ve enjoyed the last two days of Olympics!

Just to let you know that for these last two weeks I will not be posting anymore individual lessons for you and you can follow the work Miss Goldie has set.

However please  log onto Maths Seeds  and complete lessons to continue your learning and revision.

Remember I am still at the end of a message so if you need any support for any class work or would just like to say hello, please do!

Enjoy your last two weeks.

Mrs Campbell 😀

Morning everyone

I hope you all enjoyed Sports Day and found some fun activities to do!

Here are today’s tasks. As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Literacy

If you do Reading Eggspress, do 30mins of your lesson and the next 20 words in your yellow spelling booklet along with any you need to practise from last week. Practising these regularly will really make a difference and help you for P7 🙂

Everyone else, we’re going to do some comprehension. Read the passage below then answer the questions giving full sentences where you can. I recommend reading the passage twice. This will make it much easier when answering the questions.

Numeracy

This week, following on from fractions, we’re going to look at decimals. This is revision but it has also been a while since we worked on decimals. Look at the place value chart below to remind yourself of each of the columns.

If you do workbook 5, today you’re going to look at tenths. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zvyrkxs Watch and read the teaching part at the top of this page then complete activities 1 and 2.

If you do workbook 6, today you will be looking at the connection between fractions and decimals.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zrsc86f Watch the teaching video and read the information. Then complete activities 1 and 2.

So another treat today – the Olympics and no other tasks from your class teacher 🙂

This week we are challenging you all to the speed bounce – This is a challenge that Morning everyone,

This will be a sports day like no other. Your class teacher won’t be posting today. Make the most of it 🙂

Hi everybody,

Now during lockdown we have had to stop going places, stay home and learn to keep busy around the house. Life has become very simple and I don’t know about you but I look forward to mealtimes and going to bed as that’s all we’ve been allowed to do!!

I have attached PowerPoint that will show you about our body clocks. Everyone from P1-P7 can look at the ppt as I have added audio in.

Body Clocks ppt

Now the activity I have is on the last slide and I just want you to think about what you do in 24hours.

For P1-3 You can chat to someone in your house about what your body clock is like, then either write a few sentences about it or film a clip of you talking about it. You don’t have to complete the clock template unless you’d like to.

P4-7 you can all complete the clock template.

I hope you enjoy learning about the clock inside of us all that makes us want to eat, sleep and get busy. I’ve certainly learned a few things whilst I have been preparing this for you.

I’ve included the pdf with the full size clock template here too.

Have a good day!

Mrs Campbell 😀
