Happy Wednesday GIF - HappyWednesday - Discover & Share GIFs

I hope you all had a great long weekend and managed to enjoy yourself in the garden or while taking you daily exercise. I hope you are working through your learning packs and have managed to complete some activities. A few tasks for you do try.

S.C. I can say the sound to match the letters ng

S.C. I can blend this sound with others sounds to read words

S.C. I can spell words with the ng sound

Today we are moving onto a new sound ng. These 2 letters together make one  sound at the back of your mouth.. Have a go can you feel your tongue lifting when you make the sound? keep practicing!

Below are some ng words for you to practice.

k – i -ng    s -i – ng    w – i-ng   s -w-i -ng   s – l – i – ng   r – i- ng  b -r – i -ng  l – o – ng

S.C. I can use jumps forward/backwards to add to a number or take away from a number

Practice counting on and back using a number line (You will find them in your numeracy pack). For example, 3 + 2= 5  put finger/counter on number 3 and count 2 jumps on (up the number line), similarly count back for subtraction (down the number line). The link below maybe helpful! `

P5/6 Friday 1st May

Fun Friday!

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

The use of Teams went really well this week, thank you. Over the long weekend I should be able to adjust “Files”.

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

Topic –Today continue to research “The Broons”, and think about the characters and how they might interact under lockdown. If you haven’t, create a list of the characters and write down what they are like. Describe them physically and what their personalities are like, just like you did for “Oor Wullie”. You will need to use adjectives, and if you want to challenge yourself you could also use similes and metaphors. Read Ethan’s “Broons” story and Thomas’s “Oor Wullie” story. Challenge: can you do better? Start to think about interesting ways to present these stories.

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: I have published a new series of activities: “Fractions 2”. Please try it.

I have not forgotten about the other spelling activity, but it proved to be more difficult to put together than I had thought, but I should also be able to finish it over the weekend. Meanwhile continue to practise your Fry’s words.

Remember Logan S suggested growing your own vegetables as a health project. What do you think? Ethan has also now started growing strawberries.

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 https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/joinin/bp-joe-wicks-workout

Take care all of you.

Have a good long weekend!

Primary 7 01.05.20

Morning everyone hope you are well. Lets finish the week by putting lots of effort into Joe Wicks this morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1DCBvypjNw. See you at 9.30am / 0930.

 

Bonjour. Today you have the choice.

L.I. – to solve Time, Distance and speed problems

S.C. – I can use the correct formula accurately

I can show my working

Some of you still have to finish your exercise routine. If you are not sure what to do have a look at Zach’s, in Files. If you have finished it would be good if you could get someone in your house to video you doing the workout and talking through it like Joe Wicks does. We might then be able to use it next week.

You can then spend the time finishing / up levelling your work on Nelson Mandela and / or Natural Disasters.

Medium Time, Distance, Speed

Spicy Time, Distance, Speed

Very Spicy Time, Distance, Speed
