Focus on Random Acts of Kindness: Continue to be kind to others and to find ways to be helpful
Summer Activities Brainstorm: with your family, brainstorm as many fun summer activities as you can. Aim for ideas that are free and accessible – for example, drawing a hopscotch on the pavement or running in the sprinkler, making a water slide etc.
Hope you enjoy Wellbeing Wednesday with your family tomorrow. Mrs Lockhart and Mrs Morrison will be with you on Thursday and Friday posting some more great activities for you.
Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your week!! Have a wonderful Summer when it comes and I look forward to seeing you all in August!!!
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.
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:
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!
Art
Make a Wearable Keepsake: Decorate a T-shirt, or baseball cap, or make friendship bracelets – these could be decorated with something to do with Deans Primary or just with things you like!
Happy Friday and I hope you all have had a great week!! Did you join in the virtual sports day? Remember you can still send in photographs to Mrs Moyes and every photo received will earn 5 points for your class. The class with the most points will win a prize!!! I have attached the letter which gives you the e-mail address and activities for you to complete.
Today, I would like you to be maths detectives and solve the mystery of who released the balloons at the village fayre. You have to work through a set of clues, using your maths knowledge to help you. Put all the clues together and you will discover the answer!! Good luck and have fun!!!
Glasgow Science Centre produce different science activities for you to complete at home. I have attached the link to the lesson on how to make homemade hovercrafts, looks like fun!!
Fitness Friday
Let’s finish off the week with relaxing our bodies and minds.
Have a lovely weekend P3 and I will check in with you next Friday, the last day of school before the holiday!!
Hello boys and girls, I hope everyone has had a good week. I heard there was a brilliant Deans Primary Virtual Sports Day. Well done everyone who took part.
Let’s start with some classical music. If you go to 1 hour 36 minutes there is music from the composer Mozart that I think you would like.
First of all decide which paint colours you are going to use and put about a tablespoon of each colour in a different cup. Then add a squirt of washing up liquid to each cup and fill the cup 3/4 full with water and stir well.
Now use your straws to blow the air into your mixture to create the bubbles. Once they are ready to overflow from your cup, place a piece of paper on top and watch how it prints the bubble pattern onto it.
You can then blow back into your paint to create more bubbles and make as many pictures as you want. If they aren’t dark enough just add more paint as you go along.
If you have any bubbles at home you could even use the blowers to dip into your paint and blow some paint bubbles onto your paper.
Now I would like you to travel around your garden as different animals moving through the forest. As well as the main characters – the mouse, fox, owl and snake – there are others that appear in drawings including a frog, butterfly, beetle, woodpecker, kingfisher, dragonfly, squirrel and snail. Choose an animal and get into role.
You should decide what your animal is doing – looking for food or making a home, for example.
What would you do if you heard the Gruffalo coming. Would you lie down, stand still or hide in different parts of the woods? When the Gruffalo has gone you can check to see if the coast is clear and then carry on with your activities.
Ask someone to try and guess which animal you are.
Literacy
More about adjectives! If you want to remind yourself about adjectives have another look at the following powerpoint which shows how useful adjectives are in descriptions.
Now think about The Gruffulo. Draw the gruffalo and then write lots of appropriate adjectives all around your drawing.
Think back to The Gruffalo story and the owl character in particular. Complete the worksheet. You will need to put yourself in the owl’s shoes. Then think how you might have acted.
Hello everybody! Remember to keep working through your packs of learning.
Remember, today is……..
Take a look at our Virtual Sports Day activities!!
Literacy
Watch Newsround – note down any key things you have found out today to share with someone at home.
Have a check in with everyone at home – ask how everyone is and how they are feeling today. Share how you are and how you are feeling too.
Today we are going to continue to have a look at some ALLITERATION – Alliteration is when words start with the same sound: For example, Sammy the slippery snake came sliding. Alliteration is used in both written and spoken English. You can find examples in poetry, advertising and events commentary. It is often used in newspaper headlines to grab the reader’s attention.
Have a look at the sheet below which has loads of ALLITERATION ideas. Use these to create some silly sentences. For example:
‘The elephant ate eggs with the elf whilst he sealed the envelopes.’
Writing – Look at some cereal boxes. They make them eye-catching so that you want to pick them. Design a new label for a cereal box. What eye-catching information will you add? Can you use an exclamation mark? I’ve included some examples below:
Create a Class Survival Book – Create a page for a book that can be put together in the new term to tell the next class how things work in Primary 3 – what things do you do and learn? What daily jobs do you have? What are the rewards and sanctions in class?
Hope you enjoy Wellbeing Wednesday with your family tomorrow. Mrs Lockhart and Mrs Morrison will be with you on Thursday and Friday posting some more great activities for you.
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!
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.

Tomorrow we have our virtual Sports Day – please remember to tune in and take part!!!
Good morning P3!! I hope you have all had a great week. Here are some learning activities for you to complete:
NEWS FLASH!!
You are all invited to take part in Deans Primary School ‘Virtual’ Sports Day on Tuesday 16th June. Letters will be sent home via e-mail, make sure you and your grown up look out for the instructions and have FUN!!!
Maths
As we are continuing to learn about capacity, I have attached some potion worksheets for you to complete. Remember to record your answers in your home learning jotters.
We are going to look at a new topic,’ dissolving’ To deepen our understanding,we first need to find out more about water. I didn’t realise water had so many properties!! Watch the following clip and then I have attached some practical activities for you to complete, enjoy!!
More about adjectives! If you want have another look at the following powerpoint which shows how useful adjectives are in descriptions. Then complete the worksheet.
We are continuing our work on fractions and in particular numerators and denominators. Follow the link to remind yourself about numerators and denominators.
Numerator is the top number in a fraction. It shows how many parts we have. The bottom number is the Denominator and shows how many equal parts the item is divided into.
Today we have a problem to think about. Read the scenario (that is a made up situation) and then try to answer the question cards. What would you have done?
If you can, talk to someone in your family about the situation.
Hello everybody! Remember to keep working through your new packs of learning.
Literacy
Watch Newsround – note down any key things you have found out today to share with someone at home.
Have a check in with everyone at home – ask how everyone is and how they are feeling today. Share how you are and how you are feeling too.

Alliteration is used in both written and spoken English. You can find examples in poetry, advertising and events commentary. It is often used in newspaper headlines to grab the reader’s attention.
I would like you to have a look around your house, online, or wherever you can to see where you can find examples of alliteration in BOOK TITLES (Stuart Reid uses loads of these in is books, so he might be a good one to research!), NEWSPAPER HEADLINES etc. Make a list of as many you can find. Here’s a couple of examples for you, I know you will have heard of a few of these book titles:
Can you create your own Book Title or Newspaper Headline (maybe connected to what is happening in our lives just now!) using ALLITERATION. Create a Book Cover or Newspaper Cover with your Title and some images.
Remember to complete the writing task that Miss Taylor posts on our Blog this week!
Numeracy
Let’s start with this – Write the numbers 20 – 50 in words and digits.
We are going to continue to look at Number pairs with two digit numbers to make the next multiple of 10 – eg 52+___ = 60. Try the task attached below:
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.

Remember to keep tuning in to Joe Wicks daily too!!!
Numeracy
For a Number Talk today, let’s think about what we already know for number bonds to 10 – we have number pairs that make 10 – eg 3+7, 4+6. With this in mind, see how many number pairs you can make for 20 – eg 13+7.
If you want to challenge yourself, see which pairs you can make for 30 or even 40!
Next we are going to look at Number pairs with one or two digit numbers to make the next multiple of 10 – eg 22+___ = 30. Try the task attached below:
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/

Reading/writing:
Watch this video clip on caring for the environment, take some notes on the key points as you watch:
See if you can find any other interesting facts on caring for the environment that you can read.
Choose one thing you could do to help the environment in school and/or at home. Make a poster to encourage people to do it! Think about the classroom and the school as a whole as well as at home. Remember to include a catchy title/slogan, facts/information and pictures.
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!
You could also 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
As cunning as a fox
Soar like an eagle
Have eyes like a hawk
Complete the task below, which has some sentence starters for similies that you might use to compare yourself to something:
Mr Turner and I had planned to discuss the referendum on independence for Scotland and the resulting ‘No’ vote with you all, but we obviously now cannot. Someone at home might be able to help explain this, and how people in the country were asked to decide if Scotland should stay in the United Kingdom or not. Since all of this we have now had Brexit, which I’m sure you have heard something about! Have a search online or ask someone at home so you can maybe get a better understanding of this. Try to note down in your own words (or with the help of an adult), what you think BREXIT means.
Assessment: Ask someone at home to test you on all your knowledge of our Great Britain topic. If you can, write down the questions and answers.
Art
We have all had to spend a lot of time at home just now. Compare your house to a cottage for example. Can you make a model of your house and a cottage? Use whatever materials you have at home. There’s an example of a homemade house below:
