Month: June 2020

P5/6 Monday 15th June

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 shall add to it over time.

I have up-loaded information about our virtual sports day next week. Please take a look.

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 on this and I am thinking of adding another related activity. I think this could also be a health activity, what do you think?

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

Take care

Primary One – Monday 15th June 2020

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Only 2 more weeks left in Primary 1!!! It has been such a quick year. As we are nearing the end of term the blog will be slightly different. There will be a literacy and numeracy task and some challenge tasks for you to enjoy.

Happy Monday Aaaaahhhhh GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

Activity 1 – New Sound oi

L.I. to understand that 2 letters can make 1 sound

S.C. I can say the sound to match the letter shape oi

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

New sound today is oi. You will find this sound in Inky’s Vowel House underneath last weeks igh sound. The story about the oi sound is………..

Can you slide the sounds together to say the words below?

oi  – l          s – oi – l          b – oi – l          c – oi – n           j – oi – n              p – oi – n – t

Practice writing the oi sound in your jotter.Then complete oi Words Cut and Paste from your home learning pack.

Activity 3 –

L.I. to count objects in a collection

L.I. to recognise numerals and number words

S.C. I can count objects in groups of up to 20

S.C. I can match a numeral to its number word

For this activity I would like you to turn to I Spy and Count to 20  sheet from your home learning pack. You have to count each of the summer object such as ice-cream, sun glasses etc. Once you have counted them write the total in numerals and number words e.g. Sun Glasses – 10  ten. Top Tip – it maybe a good idea to cross them off as you count them so you don’t count them twice.

Remember you can also finish off your SHM booklet at anytime.

Activity 3 – Random Acts of Wildness

Can you find a blade of grass and use it as a whistle?

           

Activity 4 – Disney Virtual Trip 

From now until the end of term I will be posting activities that will encourage you to use your imagination to go on a virtual trip of Disney land. As we can’t actually go this year this virtual trip is the next best thing.

Day 1 – Art

L.I. I am learning to create an eye-catching design.

S.C. I can create a front cover

S.C. I can include my name and age

Create a passport that you can use during your trip! Remember to include a front cover, your name, a picture of yourself and lots of space for characters names! Each time you see a character this week in a ride, video or song, make sure to write their name in your passport! How many characters will you meet by the end of the week?

Have a great day and remember tomorrow is sports day.
