Tuesday 14th March

It seems that we have another snow day, Draatsi class.  Hopefully you will get a chance to play in the snow at some point today.  Remember to wrap up warm!

Here are some things that you can try today.

  • Maths  – Sumdog Challenge.  Ask a family member to test you on your times tables facts too!  Is the snow deep at your house?  Take a ruler and measure the deepest part.  If you can, take a photo of this and send it in to me.  I wonder where the deepest snow will be…?
  • Topic – Can you find the Fairtrade logo on any items in your house?  Make a list or draw any items that you find.  If you have access to the Internet, you could research other Fairtrade products and where they are produced.  You could find out about bananas. tea, coffee or sugar.  Who is involved in the production?  How long does the process take?  You could make a poster or a PowerPoint with your information. I would love to see what you find out! You can email me gw08duncanfiona12@shetland.sch.uk
  • upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Fai...
  • Reading – Continue to enjoy your Accelerated Reader.  This would be a nice thing to do after playing out in the snow.
  • EUROQUIZ team – The quiz that was due to take place today has been postponed until Tuesday 28th March.  This gives you extra time to study!  Have a look at the websites Mrs Smith emailed on recently.
  • Children’s Parliament Investigators – I will email you with some things you will need to think about before our online call tomorrow morning.

Have fun if you are playing out in the snow today.  Be careful when sledging and walking on slippery surfaces.  Hopefully we’ll see you all again tomorrow!

Following further snowfall overnight, which has results in difficult road conditions, we have another day at home    It’s a great chance to get outside, in the fresh air and enjoy playing in the snow!

Here are some things we would like to try today: 

  • Practise the Up Helly Aa song in preparation for Friday  The following link will remind you of the tune and lyrics.  You only need the lyrics for the first minute  Up Helly Aa – The Up Helly Aa Song (with lyrics) – YouTube
  • Sumdog Maths Challenge 
  • Make your own comic strip about being home on a snow day.
  • Take time to snuggle up and read a book.
  • EUROQUIZ TEAM – Please try to use this time to study for your quiz, which is Tuesday 14th in Lerwick.  You could find out about the European Union and who that involves.  Also, use your little blue Europe books to study the culture,/traditions and food from each country,.  Ask a family member to quiz you on some facts.

 

I’m sure you will have lots of fun playing in the snow today.  Maybe you could…

  • Build a snow sculpture.  It doesn’t have to be a snowman!  Can you take a photo to share with us?
  • Go sledging – be safe!
  • Write words in the snow with a stick.  Can you think of words to describe the weather?
  • How deep is the snow at your house?  Take a ruler and put it in the snow to measure the depth.

Whatever you do, have fun and be safe!

If schools are open tomorrow, Mrs Smith will be there to help you all get ready for SMUHA.  “From grand old Viking centuries…”

Hello everyone!  I hope you have managed to enjoy the gorgeous snowy weather.  Have you been sledging?  Built a snowman?  Snuggled up and watched a film?  Read from your book?

As we have been working on our 5 sentences with correct punctuation in class, can you write down what you have been doing with your days at home?  Remember…5 sentences with capital letters and full stops/exclamation marks/question marks.

If you are not venturing outside today, I have set some Sumdog tasks online.

This week in Maths we are starting to look at Multiplication and Division, so the following websites could be used for practice.  We are looking at the 3x and 6x tables first, so this would be a good thing to work on at home.

Multiplication Miner – Mathsframe

Hit the Button – Quick fire maths practise for 6-11 year olds (topmarks.co.uk)

Dartboard Multiplication – 7-11 year olds – Topmarks – for some challenge!

We were planning to look at the next part of Mission 3 for The Children’s Parliament this week, so you could start thinking about this at home, in preparation for returning to school tomorrow.  Please note down your ideas to bring into school.

  • What does Fairness mean to you?  
  • What is Fairness in AI? (Artificial Intelligence)

Hope to see you all tomorrow!
