Then write 3 sentences about what you have learnt.Extension – If you finish check out the rest of the Newsround website or catch up with any other work you need to finish.Chat will go back on about 9:55 to discuss learning.
Spicier-Using a dictionary go on a word hunt and find as many words that end with as you can e.g. station. Then write an interesting sentence with each word in it.
Virtual Sports Day!-Your parents were sent the letters yesterday. I also posted the activities on the BLOG and TEAMS yesterday.
Only if you have time please continue with your Personal Project.
Science Practical Activities If you have the equipment and/or maybe someone to help you choose one of the following activities.(Or save them for a rainy day.)
Please do the work that is most appropriate for you. I set a lot of different activities so that you can choose what is best for your own personal learning.
I have created a new folder called “Special Activities” in “Teams” which has new and exciting activities for you for the next couple of weeks. Please take a look. I think some of you might be especially interested in the poetry competition, as you could build on the work you have done in the classroom with Mrs Stewart and me. I think some of you will also be interested in the funfair activity. I will keep adding more.
I have up-loaded some writing activities into the “General” folder in Teams.
I have also previously up-loaded information about our virtual sports tomorrow.
Maths: This seems to be working well for everyone: all of you seem to have material that is appropriate. 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. If you have finished these you could do TJay 2a revision work on decimals: Chapters 5 and 7
TJay 1b
TJay 2a
TJay 2b
Money
Chapter 7
Chapter 8
Chapter 7
Measure
Chapter 15
Chapter 13a,b,c and d
Chapter 13
You all appear to still have activities in “Education City” to do and I have added some more literacy/grammar activities, which seem to be popular. I will keep monitoring progress on all subjects.
A lot of you seem to be interested in Martin Luther King. I first put this work together for you for the Tuesday 2nd June. Why? Why for that day? Why did I think it was important for you? Why is MLK relevant to us all today? Please think about these questions. You could use them, the information that I have supplied combined with any research you undertake. You could then choose how to present this work: a poster, a PowerPoint, a HotPotatoes quiz (could be very challenging or easier for younger children), an essay, a letter (who would you write to?). As usual, use your imaginations! You might also want to use your recent learning on persuasive writing. Some of you have already produced some really good work. I have also up-loaded a photograph related to this work for you to think about, discuss, research and possibly write about. It is in a Word document called “BLM” in the MLK folder.
Don’t forget the work in “Covid Related Activities”, Mrs Lockhart’s work and exercise with Joe.

Remember to keep tuning in to Joe Wicks daily too!!!
Numeracy
For a Number Talk today, let’s think about adding any single digit to a multiple of 10 e.g 60+5=65
See how many you can come up with in 2 mins.
We have looked at doubling numbers, let’s look at halving numbers.
This video shows you Doubling and Halving so you can see the link between them. Have a bit of paper and a pencil ready to try some out along with the man on the video:
Now try these tasks. They start off fairly easy and become more difficult. Just do what you can do!
Reading – Continue to read as often as you can! Remember you can access books like the Oxford Reading Tree ones from: https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/
If you click the Pink icon at the top right that says ‘My Class Login’ and enter Primary 3 Deans as the username and Mrs Hillan as the password then you can access these if you haven’t set up your own account.
Reading/writing:
Find a cooking book in the house or online and read the ingredients needed to make something. Write down any words you found tricky and look them up. Copy the recipe down or write it in your own words. Ask someone at home if you can try making what you have found.
Find a food leaflet in the house or simply look in your cupboards or a receipt from a recent food shop – read some of the items. Make a list of the food in alphabetical order.
Spelling – You have a list of spelling words included in your pack – remember to practise these regularly and use the spelling task cards to help! You can find the cards here if you have misplaced yours – http://www.blessedbeyondadoubt.com/spell-cards-printable/ – any problems accessing these email the school and I will help!
Try these games to help you learn and spell new tricky words:
Think back to our work on SIMILIES – A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things. The simile is usually in a phrase that begins with the words “as” or “like.” – for example: As big as an elephant. A METAPHOR is another thing we use in Literacy. I would like you to look at the video on this link, then the explanation underneath before writing 3 of your own METAPHORS (you can also find ideas online if you are stuck!). Once you have done this, there is a quiz at the bottom you can try all about METAPHORS and SIMILIES:
Write a Letter: You can pick whether to write a letter to yourself reflecting on the past year and looking into the future or write a thank-you note to someone who has helped you throughout the year at school – pupil support assistants, parent volunteers, office staff, even other students.

Continue with your Personal Project. Here is what I posted last week to remind you:
As we don’t have long until the end of term, we thought instead of starting a new topic together that you could do a mini project of your own to work on until the Summer holidays. You can pick an animal, a sport, a hobby, a type of car, a singer/group you like – anything like that, to do your own research project on. Start off using the mind map below to record what you know already about your chosen topic, then collect as many facts, information, and pictures as you can. Remember to make your facts interesting and fun! If you can print pictures that would be great, but it would also be amazing to see of your own drawings, models and creations! We can use this to share with each other when we are back to school after the Summer!
DYW
There are two Developing Young Workforce tasks here, you can choose to do one or both!
Fruit and vegetables printing: Look at the work of the artist: Lynn Flavell. How does she represent fruit and vegetables? Can you create a piece of artwork in the style of Lynn Flavell: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01d6gw2
Tomorrow we have our virtual Sports Day – please remember to tune in and take part!!!
