Good Morning Primary 7!
I hope you are all well and you enjoyed Spring break with your families in the sunshine. I was thinking about you all- I was disappointing that we were not able to visit Ibrox football stadium for a tour as planned. 🙁
I have uploaded your 3 tasks for today in Seesaw as I have been made aware that Glow has been experiencing some glitches again due to the volume of people using it.
LITERACY- Reading through a power point and completing sentences in your jotters using the words; Wear, We’re, Where and Wear.
MATHS- Consolidating our work on Volume and Capacity with some fun measuring tasks.
H.W.B- 5 different activities you can do from your bedroom, or ideally your garden!
**If you have some spare time today, PLEASE remember to complete the transition work Mr Craig set yesterday as it is vitally important he receives this on, but preferably before, this coming Monday. Thank you 🙂 **
Have a lovely day.
Mrs Tarburn
As you know, we are in lockdown, shut behind doors for our own safety and the safety of everyone else. Covid-19 has closed schools, closed shops and temporarily closed some of the things we take for granted, like playing in the park with our friends.
Make a list of all the things that you miss doing. You may like to think about some of the following categories:
This is an idea inspired by Kit Wright’s poem ‘The Magic Box’ In the poem, Kit imagines what may be contained inside a magical box. We can use this idea to connect to what could be behind the magical door.
Here’s an example to help you get going:
I opened the magical door and saw shadows dancing.
I opened the magical door and saw a rainbow leading to another world.
I opened the magical door and saw people crying.
I opened the magical door and saw a magical fairground flooded in lights.
2. Once you have got your ideas, go back and see if you can add to them. You could add more description or bring the thing to life through action,
e.g. I opened the magical door and saw a shoal of hungry shadows, tangoing through busy streets.
Have fun adding to your ideas and let your imagination run wild. Have a read of this poem I created with some Y6 children to help you get ideas:
3. Write your own poem
