Good morning 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.

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.

The use of Teams went really well last week, thank you. Over the long weekend 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.

P6s: you should have e-mailed Mrs Wallace your buddy applications by today.

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? Start to think about interesting ways to present these stories. Please post any ideas you have so we can discuss them. I have created a dedicated folder for this work in “Files” as well.

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?

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/

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

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

Take care all of you.

Topic –Continue to research “The Broons”, and think about the characters and how they might interact under lockdown. If you haven’t, create a list of the characters and write down what they are like. Describe them physically and what their personalities are like, just like you did for “Oor Wullie”. You will need to use adjectives, and if you want to challenge yourself you could also use similes and metaphors. Read Ethan’s “Broons” story and Thomas’s “Oor Wullie” and “Broons” story.

I have not forgotten about the other spelling activity, but it proved to be more difficult to put together than I had thought, but I should also be able to finish it over the weekend. Meanwhile continue to practise your Fry’s words.

Have a good long weekend!

Hello all.

I am going to copy each day’s “Read Me First” document from Team’s “Files” into this blog as some of you have been having difficulties accessing it. I hope this helps.

I am still trying to get to grips with this so please bear with me. I also want to develop some of the outcomes from Monday’s planning meeting and adjust how we are using teams.

From that meeting those of you that have had their personal projects agreed please make a plan for what you want to include and what your learning intention will be – Ethan, Gemma and Thomas I know you have already made a start on this.

Topic – great idea to do some stuff that is positive about the present situation. Someone suggested doing “Oor Wullie” in lockdown, and someone else up-levelled that by making it about a family – “The Broons”. What do you know about them? I have never read any of their stories. Thomas did some excellent research and has posted his results in “Personal Projects”: please check it out. Today continue to research “The Broons”, and start to think about the characters and how they might interact under lockdown. Create a list of the characters and write down what they are like. Describe them physically and what their personalities are like, just like you did for “Oor Wullie”. You will need to use adjectives, and if you want to challenge yourself you could also use similes and metaphors. STOP PRESS!!!! I prepare these documents during the day and up-load them in the evening. So This was made before I had read Ethan’s “Broons” story. Challenge: can you do better?

Submitting homework – Thank you to those that have. I think the best way from now on might be that if you have produced a piece of work that you are especially proud of you should e-mail that to the school so we can share it via the blog. If there is a piece of work that you are not sure about, maybe you found a bit tricky, up-load that to “Teams” so that I can look over it and we can then discuss it together. All other work please keep at home for now.

Finally thank you for all your hard work! I think we have all learned a lot about how to work in “Teams” in a very short time. I am really pleased with the sensible and mature approach that you have all been taking. To keep it tidy the less we post comments (Reply) the better: use the emojis as much as possible. Having said that when you do need to post a comment it should be posted into “Reply” (you should never click inside the “Start a new conversation” box, I think) for the appropriate day and conversation.

Take care all of you.

I will try to spend some time today on Education City creating more content on it for you all. I thought more language work might be appropriate – maybe dictionary work. I have not forgotten about the other spelling activity, but it proved to be more difficult to put together than I had thought.

Ethan, thank you for up-loading you work, it looks really good.

I was lucky enough to speak to some of your parents, and even some of you, over the last few days. It was lovely!

This week we have been doing decimals as a way of helping us with our understanding of decimals, their addition and times tables.

We have also been visiting the nursery where we had lots of fun. It brought back lots of memories.

In P5/6 pupils we have been sharing our learning with our parents. We have been using loop games, cubes and PowerPoints.

In P5/6, Primary 1 and Primary 5/6 did P.E together and used the bars on the side. We partnered up with a primary 1 and took turns using the turns.

We did questions about Australia’s fires and handled data.

We got new classwork on Education city.h
