  • 109

French

Let’s revise different greetings in French! Watch the song below and see if you can spot how to say the following greetings:

  • Hello
  • How are you?
  • My name is…
  • Goodbye

Can you have a simple conversation in French with a family member?

Special Activity

Can you practise tying your shoe laces? Have a look at the models below and see if you can create your own! You could use a piece of string or a real shoelace to practise with. I have also attached a link to a YouTube tutorial to help you. Send us a picture of you practising to wldeans-ps@westlothian.org.uk.

The Big Pedal 

Big Pedal is the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking and scooting challenge that inspires pupils, staff and parents to choose ‘human power’ for their journey to school. Since we can’t do this at school/on the way to school here are some ideas for you to try at home.

P.3 Thursday 7.5.20

Welcome back boys and girls, I hope everyone had a lovely long weekend and you are feeling refreshed and ready for Thursday’s home learning tasks.

R.E.

Recently we have looked at values in our lives. We looked at Christian stories in the Bible for some inspiration. Remember The Lost Sheep.

Today we are looking at the Qu’ran the Holy Book for Muslims. One strong value for a Muslim is from the Zakat – Pillar Three.

This value is about looking after other people. Each Muslim gives up a share of his wealth each year to provide for those less fortunate.

This demonstrates the value of being fair.

Can you think of a time when you were fair?  Maybe when you were playing with your friends or sharing out toys or food.

Draw a picture on the worksheet below of a time when you remember being fair. Write a short explanation about it too.

RME P.3 values being fair

Literacy

This week we are going to have another wee look at nouns. If you want to remind yourself about them have another look at the noun powerpoint. Remember Naomi Noun…..

 

T-L-4911-Nouns-Powerpoint_ver_2

Now complete the noun hunt sheet below.

P.3 noun-hunt-activity-sheet-_ver_1

Maths

We are continuing our work on fractions. We are focusing on halves and quarters just now.     

 

Look at the Pizza Fraction powerpoint.

 

t-n-927-pizza-fractions-powerpoint_ver_5

You will see that you can get more than one quarter 1/4

 

 

 

You can have two quarters which  is the same as a half .

 

You can also have three quarters. 

 

 

 

 

Complete the pizza fraction worksheet.

Health & Well Being

Look at the powerpoint.

._UK 7-8 5-RL Piece 1

Did you notice it doesn’t matter whether you are a boy or a girl when you choose the job you want to do?

Think about the job you would like when you grow up. Try to think of three choices and use one of the worksheets to make your own When I Grow Up. I’d Like to be a ………………………….. poem.

Let’s finish with a story. This is one of my favourites – A Lion in the Library!!

P5/6 Thursday 7th May

Good morning all!

I am going to copy each day’s “Daily Plan” ( I have changed the name from “Read Me First”) document from Team’s “Files” into the blog as some of you have been having difficulties accessing it. I hope this helps.

Spelling activity: choose a list of Fry’s words that is appropriate for yourself. Create a Word document with a table of 2 columns and 25 rows. Write your chosen 25 words in the first column. Using a dictionary, on-line or book, put a definition of the word in the second column next to it. I have created an example to support you if you are not sure how to do this. I have created a dedicated folder in “Files” for this work.

The use of Teams went really well last week, thank you. Over the long weekend I have tidied up “Files” and, I think, made it easier to use and find things. Please let me know if you have any issues with it.

P6s: you should have e-mailed Mrs Wallace your buddy applications by today.

 

Keep your personal projects going- you still have the folder to post them into – please check out the work Thomas, Ethan and Zoey have already put in there.

Topic – Read Ethan’s “Broons” story and Thomas’s “Oor Wullie” and “Broons” stories. Challenge: can you do better? Start to think about interesting ways to present these stories. Please post any ideas you have so we can discuss them. I have created a dedicated folder for this work in “Files” as well.

Continue to focus on money in maths first and then move onto measure. This will help progress your work on decimals to 3 places.

  TJay 1b TJay 2a TJay 2b
Money Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 7
Measure Chapter 15 Chapter 13a Chapter 13

 

Use the book that is most relevant to you – like “chili questions”. Do it like we do in class – don’t feel the need to do every question, just do enough to show yourself that you have understood. Check your answers in the back as you need. And Please contact me for support when you need to.

Education City: You all appear to still have quite a lot of unfinished activities so I will wait until I publish some more.

 

Logan S suggested growing your own vegetables as a health project. Ethan has also now started growing strawberries. Anyone else?

Keep your daily diary going, recording what you are doing, what exercise you do, what you eat and how you feel.

Continue to practise your French using the resources from the link below: https://powerlanguage.courses/forfamilies/french/

Don’t forget to do the day’s activities on BBC “Bitesize”.

And exercise with Joe (or his girlfriend!?)  https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/joinin/bp-joe-wicks-workout

Take care all of you.

 

Deans Den – Thursday 7th May

Good Morning!! I hope you are all managing to keep fit and healthy. When we are at school, we enjoy  gym classes with Mrs Fleming and yoga time with Mrs Anderson. I have attached a programme from ‘Cosmic Kids’ yoga and  the theme is ‘Trolls’ I know some of you have watched the films and thought you may like to attempt some yoga moves, as well as acting out as trolls!!  Have fun!!

 

Happy Thursday Primary 1/2 7.5.20

Good Morning Everyone!

Good morning boys and girls, I hope you are all ready for Thursday’s home learning tasks. Don’t forget to keep working through the learning packs, there will be a new one ready for you soon.  Let’s jump right in with Thursday’s activities.

Reading

Visit  https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ to access our book for this week – ‘Top Dog’

Username deans12

Password mrsstevenson

Re- read the book with the help of an adult.

Remember all those things that a good reader does.

  • Follows the words with their finger
  • Uses the pictures for clues
  • Sounds out any tricky words

Yesterday I gave you some before reading questions, let’s try some after  reading questions today? Share your thoughts and ideas on these with an adult.

-Which dog did you like the best and why?

-How do you think Floppy was feeling throughout the story? Are there any picture clues to help you?

-How do you think Floppy felt at the end of the story and why? How can you tell?

-Biff, Chip and Kipper did a nice thing for Floppy to make him feel better, have you ever done anything to make someone feel better?

Choose an activity to complete from your home learning pack guided reading grid.  I have attached a copy below.

Guided Reading homelearning grid 

As a fun little game to finish off our reading today – I found this online to help you practise reading CVC words. Have a go, you can either write the words down or shout them out at your computer.

Phonics

Yesterday we had an introduction to the sound ‘ng’.

Today we are going to have a go a writing this sound.

I would encourage you to have a go at joining the two letters together when you write them, there are a few practise sheets inside your home learning packs to guide you with the correct formation. Don’t forget to be successful when writing this join you need to  –

  • Have a sharp pencil
  • Rest your letters on the line, apart from g which has a tail!
  • Take your time and don’t lift your pencil until you have finished the join.

Another way to use ‘ng‘ is to add it to the end of a word with an ‘i‘ to make it ‘ing’

Can you have a go at listening carefully to these words

pack -ing         pick -ing     lock -ing

lick -ing            kick -ing    suck -ing

Have a go at writing these and drawing a picture to go with each one. Below is a little activity to help you practise this skill.

adding ing activity

I have added a game called ‘Sing a Song’ to our Home learning section of the Education city class area. Remember your passwords are glued to the inside cover of your purple jotters.

Numeracy and Maths

Daily 10

For today’s daily ten, I though we could continue with last weeks topic of ‘ten more’. This time I’m going to make it a little bit trickier.. Here goes, so if the number was 45, ten more would be 55… If you have access to a 100 square that would really help, alternatively here is one below. Ask an adult to help you with a practise run first.

Can you figure out the strategy to find ten more on the 100 square? (It’s easy just find the number and look below it, you can even count on ten to check!) Which number changes and which number stays the same? Share your ideas with an adult.

  1.  25            2.   19          3.   56           4.  67        5.   33           6.  81   7.  10       8. 73            9. 23           10. 22

Money

How is everyone getting on with the money box challenge? Remember to send your pictures into the school office as  I would really love to see them.

wldeans-ps@westlothian.org.uk

Today I thought we could get some practise using real money. Hopefully the adults in your house will agree to help with this little challenge as it will benefit them too.

When we grow up we have to work hard to earn money for the things we need and want to buy for our families. I would like you to have a little go at seeing how much work goes into earning yourself some money. With an adult decide on a list of jobs which you can do to help out around the house. For Example, washing the dishes, making your bed, reading a story to a younger sibling… next agree with an adult how much you will get ‘paid’ to complete these activities, it can be as little or as much as your adult agrees to. I have included a chore chart template below, but it might be just as easy to make your own.

Chore Chart

Remember to keep working through the money worksheets in your Home learning packs.

I have also added another challenge on Sum Dog website this time focusing on 2D shape words. Have a go, well done to all of you who have logged on and given it a go, there were some pretty impressive scores, keep it up!

Art/Topic

Below is a link for a guided drawing of a butterfly. There are lots of butterflies about at the moment especially if you are out walking in the woods. They are one of my favourite insects and it is great opportunity to practise our drawing skills and of course we need to use careful listening too. Remember to colour in your butterfly. Have FUN!

This made me think about one of my most favourite stories to read to my little boy, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Grab a glass of milk or water and lets pretend it’s story time in class.

Have a great day Boys and Girls, Mrs Lockhart will be sharing some activities for you to complete tomorrow. Have an amazing weekend, hopefully the sun will shine for us. Before I go, I just wanted to add that Miss Swanson wanted me to share with you that she is missing you all so so much, she says hello and is happy and healthy at home with her family. She cannot wait to see you all very very soon!
