Have a great day and let us know how you get on with the learning tasks for today.

Mr Woodward and Miss Smith.

Good morning everyone. How are we all? We hope you had a lovely weekend. Who can tell us the date today in French? Do you remember how to say ‘first’? and also, we are into a new month. Who knows ‘June’ en francais?

This week’s Rights Respecting Schools Article is Article 19: Protection from violence, abuse and neglect.

Some activities you may wish to try are:

• Article 19 means that no child should be hurt, hit or treated badly. Find out about the punishments for children in schools in Victorian times. Imagine you lived then and wanted to end physical punishment in school. Write a letter to Queen Victoria explaining why you think things should change.
• Draw or list some of the people whose job it is to help you stay safe and protected.
• Think about the feelings we have when we know  we are  safe and cared for. Write a poem or song to describe how this feels. Use good metaphors and similes to describe the emotions.
• What do you know about being safe online? Have a conversation about this with the adults you live with. Talk about safe settings on your router and on all devices in the house. Ask your family to look at this Safer Internet website and let you watch some of the videos in the resources section.

Please remember to share these with us so we can build evidence for our reaccreditation.

Problem Solving for today:

Once you have been successful, why not try to draw it again, this time with 4 circles on the bottom row and fitting the numbers 1-10 into the circles in the same way. Is it possible?

Thank you for your continued hard work and effort.

Miss Smith and Mr Woodward.

Welcome Primary 3 to Thursday’s blog post! We’re now nearly at the end of the week which means we’re nearly at the weekend! Thank you so much to all of you who took part in our Teams chats yesterday, it was so lovely to hear from you and we love hearing stories of what you’ve been up to and how creative you are being.

For today’s Children’s Gardening Week ideas, why not try to make this DIY bird-feeder using a plastic bottle, some scissors, pencils, string and bird feed? Remember that anything using scissors and cutting into the bottle will need to be done with an adult! But hopefully the bird feeder can be used to attract all kinds of birds to your garden like the Blue Tits Annabel has had visiting her garden!

Miss Smith and Mr Woodward

Bonjour et bon Mercredi! We made it to Wednesday and that means today we have our Teams catch up chat! It was lovely to see and hear from so many of you last week and Mr Woodward was impressed he finally got the whiteboard working so you could all have a play about and write messages and attempt to play noughts and crosses against each other! Maybe a noughts and crosses tournament is in order? The chat will be at 10am, looking forward to seeing you all there!

For today’s Garden Week idea why not try creating your own version of a sensory path in your garden? (Depending on the weather, maybe if it rains it’s an indoor activity?) Outline a path in your garden if you can, then using whatever you have that you will be able to walk on barefoot set out your path. Have a go at walking along your sensory path and try to describe using a few adjectives how it feels in each section. Get other members of your family to try it too and see if they felt the same things you did!

Writing:

Don’t Press the Button

Imagine yourself on a spaceship and there is a button that makes anything you can think of. What would you make using the button and what would you use it for? Describe the spaceship you are on, describe what the button looks like and describe what you make with your button. Make sure to have a beginning, middle and end to your story with 1 problem you need to solve using the thing you make with the button.

The Empty Palace

You are the son or daughter of a king and queen. One day you wake up and the whole palace is empty. How do you feel being in an empty palace? Your mission in your story is to investigate and track down everyone in the palace. How did they disappear, what happened to them and how do you get them back?

Sands of Akwa

You have landed on a strange planet looking for some special treasure. What does the planet look like, who is with you and what are you looking for? While looking for the treasure you meet some people who try to help you, and some people who want to stop you. Who are these different people? Your story should start when you land on the planet, you meet the different characters and our adventure should take you to your treasure.

Tom Thumb and the Football Team

Tom Thumb spends part of the story stuck indoors when all he wants to do is go outside. Think of an adventure you would like to have in your local area once you are allowed outside again and write about it. Where would you go, what would you do, who would you be with? How does it feel being stuck indoors and how does it feel to finally be allowed outside again?

Stinky Street

In Stinky Street Franklin is trying to stop the sale of his house so he doesn’t have to move away from where he lives. Imagine that Franklin actually wanted to move. Where would he move to, what does his new house look like? What kinds of things are near his new house and who does he meet? Describe the excitement of moving to a new house and of meeting new people and exploring a new area.

Maths: Today we are looking at weight and converting weight from grams to kilograms. To change between grams and kilograms you have to remember that there are 1,000 grams (g) in 1 kilogram (kg). So 1,000g = 1kg, 2,000g = 2kg etc.

Converting g to kg and kg to g
