Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you’ve all had a good morning doing some Maths and Literacy. This afternoon there are some Music and P.E. activities for you all.

P.E.
As we are unable to attend the Multisports Festival today, I thought you could organise your own mini festival for people who live in your house! Choose a safe space and make plenty of room.

1)Think of 5 different sports activities and set up what you will need for each activity. Each activity should last for 1 minute. (e.g. star jumps, target throwing (ball into a hoop), running on the spot, standing long jump, football skills, plank, sit-ups)

2)Show everybody what to do at each station and when everyone is ready, time them for 1 minute using a watch, clock or phone.

3)Keep a note of how well people do at each station so you can find a winner!

4)Choose how to record your mini festival. For example you could use your blue jotter to write it down, draw a picture/diagram, or take a photo/video.

Music
Mrs Keenan would like you to learn some songs about healthy eating:

Mrs Keenan would also like you to continue practising rhythm reading:

Have a fun afternoon!

Good morning 🙂

I hope everyone’s brain has woken up from the holiday by now and you are all managing to complete some activities at home.

Maths and Numeracy – Estimation

Yesterday we practised estimating how many objects, today we are going to practise estimating where a number goes on a number line. We have practised this in class so it should be familiar.

1) Have a go at this game (I have put 2 links as the bottom one is for tablets):
https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/37/placing-numbers-on-a-number-line

https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/310/Placing-Numbers-on-a-Number-Line-Tablet-Version

2) Using your whiteboard or blue jotter, draw a 0-100 number line like the one below and pick a number between 1 and 100. Estimate where this number will go by drawing a little line. Repeat for a few more numbers.

You can change the numbers at the start and end of your number line. If you found this too tricky, try a 0-20 number line and pick numbers between 1 and 20, for example. Or try a 10-20 number line and pick numbers between 10 and 20.

If you would like a challenge, make the number range even bigger, or try a 100-200 number line if you would like to practise 3 digit numbers, for example.

Literacy – Grammar

1) Watch this video about capital letters.

2) Please log in to sumdog.com and find a Grammar challenge called ‘Punctuation and Capital Letters.’ Remember all the types of punctuation we have learned so far and where we should use capital letters. (The start of a sentence, people’s names, place names, days and months…)

If you are unable to access Sumdog, try writing some sentences of your own in your blue jotter making sure you use punctuation and capital letters. ( . ? , ! )

As always, any questions please comment below 🙂
Thank you,
Mrs Harding

Good afternoon!

Here are some activities for you to try this afternoon.

Literacy – Spelling
Log in to sumdog.com and have a go at the spelling challenge I have set for you.

If you are unable to log in to sumdog, pick 8 of your tricky words from your word wall or sheet and practise spelling these. In your blue jotter write today’s date and then write each word 3 times. Next you can pick two other spelling jobs. (e.g. bubble writing, sentences, rainbow writing, pyramid words, draw and label.)

French
Watch this French video and practise counting forwards and backwards as the children hop. What game does this look like?

If you have a garden and some chalk, draw your own La Marelle and play with someone who lives with you.
Can you think of some other games that you could play in French? Have a go! (e.g. Hide and Seek, Snakes and Ladders…)

Have fun!
Mrs Harding

Welcome back everyone! I hope you have all managed to have a relaxing break and are ready to start your final term of Primary 3 🙂

Please find attached a new Home Learning Grid for the next two weeks. You can complete as many activities as you can. Mrs Docherty and I will continue to post on here twice a day as well so you can choose what to do and when.

Maths & Numeracy – Estimation
In class we have talked about estimation as a ‘clever guess.’ Have a go at this game and see how close you can get!
https://www.abcya.com/games/how_many_marbles_estimation

You can also practise estimating how many using different objects in your house. Collect a tub / box / bag and put in a few handfuls of something you can count (e.g. pasta shapes, sweeties, marbles, lego blocks etc). Use your whiteboard (from your Read Write Count bag) and firstly write down your estimate. Next, count the items carefully and write down the number. How close were you?! Remember you don’t need an exact answer, just one that is close enough. Try again with a different amount and see if you can estimate accurately!

Here is another estimating game if you need it:

Remember to check Sumdog and Education City to see if you still have challenges to complete. Any questions, please comment here and I will help you.
