Numeracy

Choose a number between 0 – 50. Make a poster showing how many different ways you can represent this number – like what we do in class for number talks!

There are a lot of strategies we can use to help us with our times tables – these are called Multiplicative Counting Strategies. I have attached a poster below which shows some of the different strategies. They have used the sum of ‘4×5’ – create your own poster to help you remember these strategies using a sum of your own, for example – 5×3 or 2×6 – use a sum within the 2,3,4,5 or 10 times tables.

 

Literacy

Write sentences using adjectives to describe a room in your house – draw a picture of the room you described.

-Hide and seek: Write a set of instructions on how to find something in your bedroom. Think about the positional language (left, right, forwards, backwards etc) to help find the object.

– Remember to do this week’s writing task set by Miss Taylor – this will be on the Blog.

IDL/Drama

Read the legend of Saint George and the Dragon and identify St George’s Cross in the Union Jack.

You can use the story attached or Google it yourself. I have also attached a video you can watch with a follow up task:

https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/short-stories/george-and-the-dragon

short-stories-british-tales-george-and-the-dragon-transcript

short-stories-british-tales-george-and-the-dragon-worksheet

Create a short drama at home showing the story of St George and the Dragon. If you can’t get someone to join in as George or the Dragon – perhaps use a toy at home or create a model! Perform this for your family and ask them to give you 2 stars and a wish. Feel free to take pictures to share!!

Survey:

Could you please complete this survey about school meals. It would be hugely appreciated! :

Good Morning Everyone!

 

Good morning boys and girls, Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is safe and well and ready for today’s home learning tasks. Let’s jump right in….

Have you all been working out with Joe Wicks in the morning? Here is a link to join in if you wish to get your body moving first. Here is the link to yesterday’s workout, you can follow the link to tune in and go live at 9 am.

Reading

Yesterday I introduced you to the book ‘Leek Hotpot’ on oxford Owls ebooks. Log in again and have another read with an adult.

Jumbled up sentences

Here are some jumbled sentences from the story. Can you put them back into the correct order so that the sentences make sense? Remember the capital letter will go first and the full stop at the end. Read over your sentence when you have finished to check you have got it right. You can use the ebook to help you.

1. leeks. They a of lot had 
2. chicken pot. Dad in put the the 
3. Mum been had shop. the to
4. lid Dad hot the off pot. took the

Finally, I found a fun game online to help you with reading and spelling of tricky words. Check out ‘Spooky Spelling’, how many can you get correct? Don’t forget to keep practising all the sounds and words already in your word tubs/ on your word wall from the last home learning pack.

https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/spookySpellings/index.html

Phonics – /sh/ 

How many /sh/ words can you find in the picture below? Find the different picture and have a go at sounding out the word and writing them down. Is the /sh/ sound at the start of the word or the end?

Handwriting the /sh/ join

Let’s have a go at writing the sound by joining both the letters together. Do you remember all the success criteria’s relating to handwriting? Can you share them with an adult, what do we have to do to be successful?

• Use a sharp pencil
• Rest your letters on the line
• Make sure the letters are the right size
• Don’t lift your pencil off until you have finished
• Take your time and keep trying

You could even self assess your work when you have finished, green for growth and tickled pink. 

I have added the game ‘Ship Shape‘ into the Home learning section of our educationcity class area. Good luck, I look forward to seeing all your super scores!

Numeracy and Maths

Daily Ten

Here are your daily ten questions for today. Remember we are focusing on adding on ten to say ten more. Do you remember the trick? It’s really easy, especially if you have a 100 square to help you.

1. 53        2. 71       3. 60      4. 55     5. 10      6. 90     7. 33     8. 28     9. 14        10. 66

Good luck.

Money

As we are reaching the end of our introduction to money topic, I have found this fun video online to recap some of the coins to 10p. I am looking forward to hearing how everyone has got on with all the little money challenges I have set for you over the last few weeks. You can email any pictures or work to our school email address.

Health and Wellbeing

We are going to be exploring our relationships. starting off with our own families. Everyone’s family is different and there are lots of different types of family. Today I would like you to think about your own family. Here are some key questions to consider.

Who is in my family?

What do each of these people mean to me?

Think of one special thing about each of the member/s of your family?  -(what do they do for you that makes them special, makes you appreciate them?)

Use the template (or make your own) to draw all the people in your family. Remember, families come in all different shapes and sizes, people who are in your family might not live in the same house as you and that’s ok!

My Family

Can you complete the sentence.

My family is special because……

 

Good luck with all of today’s tasks, I hope you enjoy them. I will be back on Thursday with lots of different learning ideas, Mrs Stewart and Mrs Wallace will be posting some ‘Wellbeing Wednesday‘ tasks for you.

Mrs Stevenson

 

Good Morning!! I hope you are all safe and well and enjoying spending time with your family. Today, we are going to learn about what qualities make  a good friend? During group time, we talk a lot about being kind to one another, how ‘sharing is caring’ and how our actions might affect other people. I have attached an activity which shows children displaying friendly and unfriendly actions. Talk through the pictures with your grown up and then you could draw pictures of the different ways we can be kind to one another.

T-T-4334-Good-Friend-Discussion-and-Sorting-Cards_ver_5

I have added a clip of one of our favourite songs, ‘Who wants a friend like Snorty Bull’ Sing- a long at home!!

 

Good Morning everyone! I hope you are all safe and well! Here are some learning activities today to go along with your packs. Remember your new packs can be collected from school tomorrow! I have added some new games to Education City to include some of the new things we have been learning. Go and check them out!

Can you copy the following shapes into your jotter and then draw a line to cut them in half?

I hope you all enjoy Wellbeing Wednesday tomorrow! Please remember you can collect your new packs of learning from school tomorrow. I will speak to you on Thursday again!

Hello 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. However it seems as though I can not put in some materials into the blog that I can into Teams. I don’t think that your issues have been about accessing Teams, more about downloading stuff? I don’t think I am going to show this part of the message after this week.

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 also created a dedicated folder in “Files” for this work. Please include your name as part of the file name to differentiate it from the others. Thomas and Ethan thank you for the work you have done. Please try to do another set of more challenging words. I have also created the first in a series of “HotPotatoes” activities, generated from the spelling work Thomas, Ethan and Gemma had produced. Please try it and tell me what you think. Some of you have already tried to experiment with making your own “HotPotatoes” quizzes. Here is a link https://hotpot.uvic.ca/ to where you can download the program and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3pMWXqeqdo is a tutorial on how to use one of the applications in it. I think we could also use it for maths.

I fear I have been neglecting Mrs Lockharts work! As Thomas has already spotted I have created a set of folders dedicated to her work. Go back through these, making sure you have done each one.

The use of Teams went really well last week, thank you. 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.

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? Think about interesting ways to present these stories. Please post any ideas you have so we can discuss them. What about making a film? Do you have Windows Media Player on your computer? If not please try to download and install it. Is there any other way we could film it? I have created a dedicated folder for this work in “Files” as well.

Has anyone finished their work on measure yet? If not, finish money first and then move onto measure. I think all 4 parts of TJay 2a Chapter 13 (a,b,c and d) are useful. This will help support 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,b,c and d	Chapter 13

P6s, please think of a class novel for P7 and let me know.

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 is growing 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/

For those of you that have finished the above French resource here is another one for you

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.
