Good morning everyone! Hope you are well and had an enjoyable weekend.
Let’s start off with some fun exercise today:
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!

Literacy
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.
IDL
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!
DYW task 1 – Design a Theme Park
DYW task 2 – Organise a Fashion Show
Art
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!!!
Enjoy the rest of your day!!
