Maths: 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

Language: write a letter! Use your learning from the class, and the link below to inspire you. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52709729

Health: Exercise with Joe.

I don’t think we have fully realised the potential of HotPotatoes. If you have not tried it, please do.

I also don’t think anyone has finished “Education City”.

We have to do maths, literacy (language) and health every day. We can, of course, do other areas of the curriculum as well. How we do them is up to us. I think these unusual times have given us the opportunity to use some unusual teaching and learning techniques. I think Devon and Zoey have been using “TikTok” to create their photos of themselves for “Teams”. Could we do something with “TikTok”?

Have fun, take care and hope you had a good weekend!

When using Teams please try not to click on “Start a new conversation” each time. Please click on “Reply”, as it makes things in there much easier to find. Thanks

Highest priority today is still “Learning in P56”. I have up-dated and up-loaded “Our Learning in P56”. Please think of the three health activities, including one from PE, that were most important to your own personal learning over the year. Please also think of three activities from three different areas of the curriculum that were most important to your own personal learning over the year. Create your own document, with your name on it, and up-load it to the folder “Learning in P56”. Ethan, Thomas, Adam and Gemma M, thank you, I have yours.

Art activity! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-52743922

Draw or photograph the view from your room.

Do you want a cycle rack, shelter, cycle lockers, secure storage or scooter shelter for the school? We can get these, but we have to apply for them. You are all now experts at writng these types of letters through all the learning you have done on persuasive writing (and cold calling (another drama activity we have done!)). All the resources you need have already been up-loaded and you have used them. I have also up-loaded the supporting information for the grant: “Sustrans Cycle Parking Grant”.

I don’t think we have fully realised the potential of HotPotatoes. If you have not tried it, please do.

I also don’t think anyone has finished “Education City”.

Have you done all of Mrs Lockhart’s work?

I have reduced the amount of work that I am posting: I am trying to make it more focused. Please let me know any thoughts.

Hope to speak to you today!!

Highest priority today is “Learning in P56”. I have up-dated and up-loaded “Our Learning in P56”, which I have partially made with the help of Ethan and Thomas. Please will you check it and tell me what we are missing. What about the assemblies we have done? What about the birthday celebrations? Try to think in terms of the areas of the curriculum that I have used, and any others that you can think of. Please think of the three health activities, including one from PE, that were most important to your own personal learning over the year. Please also think of three activities from three different areas of the curriculum that were most important to your own personal learning over the year.

Hello all!

Slightly different format again today. I suspect that I am going to change it again over the next few days.

Firstly thank you all for your very responsible use of teams yesterday.

Please use today to finish the work you have already been set, especially “Learning in P56”. Thomas and Ethan have already up-loaded theirs, but there are more things we have done. Some connected to “Oor Wullie”. Some independent. Try to think of all the different areas of the curriculum.

I have created a set of folders dedicated to Mrs Lockharts work. Go back through these, making sure you have done each one. I have added a new one.

Keep your personal projects going- you still have the folder to post them into.

“Covid Related Activities”: please read it and do.

Topic –Think about interesting ways to present stories. Please post any ideas you have so we can discuss them. What about making a film? Do you have Windows Media Player on your computer? If not please try to download and install it. Is there any other way we could film it? Could we use telephones? What apps could we use? I have created a dedicated folder for this work in “Files” as well.

Has anyone finished their work on measure yet? If not, 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.

Education City: You all appear to still have quite a lot of unfinished activities so I will wait until I publish some more.

Logan S is growing vegetables as a health project. Ethan has also now started growing strawberries. Anyone else?

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/

For those of you that have finished the above French resource here is another one for you: https://www.french-games.net/frenchtopics

Don’t forget to do the day’s activities on BBC “Bitesize”.

Exercise with Joe (or his girlfriend!?)  https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/joinin/bp-joe-wicks-workout

Take care all of you.

Fun Friday! 

I hope you all know how the systems work now: if not please look at some of the old “Daily Plans” or ask me on Teams. The use of Teams went really well last week, thank you. I have tidied up “Files” a bit more and, I think, made it easier to use and find things. Please let me know if you have any issues with it.   

I want us to spend some time reflecting on the learning we have done in all areas of the curriculum in P5/6. What have we done? Try to make a list in a word document with your name as part of the title (eg “Joe H Learning in P56”) and up-load it into the new folder “Learning in P56”. Try to not focus on Maths and Literacy, but all the other areas. 

Spelling activity: choose a list of Fry’s words that is appropriate for yourself. Create a Word document with a table of 2 columns and 25 rows. Write your chosen 25 words in the first column. Using a dictionary, on-line or book, put a definition of the word in the second column next to it. I have created an example to support you if you are not sure how to do this. I have also created a dedicated folder in “Files” for this work. Please include your name as part of the file name to differentiate it from the others. Ethan is now an expert at “HotPotatoes” quizzes and has already made several. I am hoping that he can lead the learning and teach some of you how he did it. Please try them and tell me what you think. Here is a link https://hotpot.uvic.ca/ to where you can download the program and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3pMWXqeqdo is a tutorial on how to use one of the applications in it. I think we could also use it for maths, possibly to help teach some of the children in the lower school, and maybe set some more challenging activities for your classmates. 

Topic –What about making a film? Do you have Windows Media Player on your computer? If not please try to download and install it. Is there any other way we could film it? Could we use telephones? What apps could we use? I have created a dedicated folder for this work in “Files” as well. 

Has everyone finished their work on money yet? If not, 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. Most of you seem to be working your ways well through this. It will help support your work on decimals to 3 places. 

Here is an additional maths resource for you all, which you might want to prepare for Monday:  

https://thenationalschoolspartnership.com/4C7I-U1LL-E024F84E36/cr.aspx

Continue to practise your French using the resources from the link below: https://powerlanguage.courses/forfamilies/french/ For those of you that have finished the above French resource here two more for you: https://www.french-games.net/frenchtopics and https://www.linguascope.com/secure/default.php You will need a password for the second one, which is on the document “Linguascope confirmation”. 

Don’t forget to do the day’s activities on BBC “Bitesize”. 

Exercise with Joe (or his girlfriend!?)  https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/joinin/bp-joe-wicks-workout 

And finally “Covid Related Activities”: please read it.

Hello all!

I am going to copy each day’s “Daily Plan” ( I have changed the name from “Read Me First”) document from Team’s “Files” into the blog as some of you have been having difficulties accessing it. I hope this helps. However it seems as though I can not put in some materials into the blog that I can into Teams. I don’t think that your issues have been about accessing Teams, more about downloading stuff? I don’t think I am going to show this part of the message after this week.

Spelling activity: choose a list of Fry’s words that is appropriate for yourself. Create a Word document with a table of 2 columns and 25 rows. Write your chosen 25 words in the first column. Using a dictionary, on-line or book, put a definition of the word in the second column next to it. I have created an example to support you if you are not sure how to do this. I have also created a dedicated folder in “Files” for this work. Please include your name as part of the file name to differentiate it from the others. Thomas and Ethan thank you for the work you have done. Please try to do another set of more challenging words. I have also created the first in a series of “HotPotatoes” activities, generated from the spelling work Thomas, Ethan and Gemma had produced. Please try it and tell me what you think. Some of you have already tried to experiment with making your own “HotPotatoes” quizzes. Here is a link https://hotpot.uvic.ca/ to where you can download the program and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3pMWXqeqdo is a tutorial on how to use one of the applications in it. I think we could also use it for maths.

I fear I have been neglecting Mrs Lockharts work! As Thomas has already spotted I have created a set of folders dedicated to her work. Go back through these, making sure you have done each one.

The use of Teams went really well last week, thank you. I have tidied up “Files” and, I think, made it easier to use and find things. Please let me know if you have any issues with it.

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

Topic – Read Ethan’s “Broons” story and Thomas’s “Oor Wullie” and “Broons” stories. Challenge: can you do better? Think about interesting ways to present these stories. Please post any ideas you have so we can discuss them. What about making a film? Do you have Windows Media Player on your computer? If not please try to download and install it. Is there any other way we could film it? I have created a dedicated folder for this work in “Files” as well.

Has anyone finished their work on measure yet? If not, 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.

P5/6 Friday 8th May

Fun Friday!

I am going to copy each day’s “Daily Plan” ( I have changed the name from “Read Me First”) document from Team’s “Files” into the blog as some of you have been having difficulties accessing it. I hope this helps. However it seems as though I can not put in some materials into the blog that I can into Teams. I don’t think that your issues have been about accessing Teams, more about downloading stuff????

Spelling activity: choose a list of Fry’s words that is appropriate for yourself. Create a Word document with a table of 2 columns and 25 rows. Write your chosen 25 words in the first column. Using a dictionary, on-line or book, put a definition of the word in the second column next to it. I have created an example to support you if you are not sure how to do this. I have created a dedicated folder in “Files” for this work. Please include your name as part of the file name to differentiate it from the others. Thomas and Ethan thank you for the work you have done. Please try to do another set of more challenging words. I have also created the first in a series of “HotPotatoes” activities, generated from the spelling work Thomas had produced. Please try it and tell me what you think. I am going to try to put together another activity, using a different part of “HotPotatoes” and will use the list Ethan generated. If you would like to experiment with making your own “HotPotatoes” quizzes here is a link https://hotpot.uvic.ca/. I will be using it more in the future, and will give a “teach” on how to use it.

The use of Teams went really well this week, thank you. I have tidied up “Files” and, I think, made it easier to use and find things. Please let me know if you have any issues with it.

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

Continue to focus on money in maths first and then move onto measure. This will help progress your work on decimals to 3 places.

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: You all appear to still have quite a lot of unfinished activities so I will wait until I publish some more.

Logan S suggested growing your own vegetables as a health project. Ethan has also now started growing strawberries. Anyone else?
