Month: June 2020

Good morning everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the Wellbeing Wednesday activities as much as I did! Here are some activities for the day to go along with your learning packs.

Writing

Mrs Anderson has set you a writing challenge! Write a postcard to a friend from your dream holiday. Let your imagination run wild. Tell your friend where you are and what you have been doing. Use the template below for your postcard and remember to make it bright and colourful!

Numeracy

Here are a few more word problems. Remember to read the question carefully and identify the correct process before working out the answer (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division).

1. Iain has 2 friends and baked 8 cakes. How many cakes should each friend get if they all have the same amount?
2. There are 12 slices of pizza and 4 people. How many slices of pizza should each person eat?
3. 18 children were having lunch. Half of them finished their lunch and went outside. How many children are left?
4. I ate my dinner at 6:30pm and had a snack 2 hours later. What time did I have a snack?
5. A chicken is 50cm tall. A rooster is 10cm shorter than a chicken. What height is a rooster?

Comprehension

Watch the story of “The Three Little Pigs” and answer the questions below.

1. Why did the pigs move out of their mum’s house?
2. How do you think the pigs were feeling about building their own houses?
3. What did the second pig build his house out of?
4. Use 3 adjectives to describe the wolf.
5. What happens to the big bad wolf at the end of the story?
6. What would you use to build your house? Why?

Art

Today, I would like you to make your very own photo frame! You can use natural materials (e.g. sticks and leaves etc) or materials you have around your house (e.g. paper, pom poms etc). Once you have made your frame, stick a photo of yourself or something else in it! I have attached some pictures for ideas. Happy creating!

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all and I hope you are safe and well. I miss our time together and have been thinking about the learning we used to enjoy. One of our favourite activities was to have some quiet time watching Auntie Mable and Pippin on their adventures. I have attached the episode where they explore where soap comes from.

It is important to wash our hands to make sure we get rid of any germs. Here is a song to the baby shark tune to help you remember, enjoy!!

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.

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

The activities in “Education City” at the moment are mostly to support your learning on fractions. I am adding some literacy/grammar activities.

A lot of you seem to be really interested in Martin Luther King. Ethan has created a HotPotatoes quiz on him. Please try it. I have put 2 different fact files and an easier reading comprehension into the ”MLK” folder – unfortunately I still haven’t worked out how to separate pages of the Adobe documents. I first put this work together for you for the Tuesday of last week, 2^nd 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.

Please also continue with our recent work on up-levelling , using Self Assessment strategies including two stars and a wish.

Don’t forget the work in Mrs Lockhart’s folder and “Covid Related Activities” and exercise with Joe.

I have a meeting on Thursday morning so won’t be around to support you during that time but I will check in briefly before and be on-line for you in the afternoon.

Take care!
