Good morning P3, I hope you are all well. Today is World Environment Day, with the focus on Bio-diversity. What is this and how can we make our environment a better place? Watch the following clip, note down what you have learned and then create a poster on the different ways to make positive changes to the environment.
To celebrate World Environment Day, Glasgow Science Centre are showing us the important job minibeasts do for our planet. Make sure you check in to find out more!!

Today, we are going to learn about capacity and the units of measurement used (millilitres, ml) Read the information on the powerpoint and then complete the capacity worksheets. You can record the answers in your home learning jotter.
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. Follow the link to find out about numerators and denominators (Numerator -The top number in a fraction. Shows how many parts we have. The bottom number is the Denominator and shows how many equal parts the item is divided into).

Health & Well Being
Today we are going to revisit our topic of friends. This time we are going to try and think about what our friends think of us. We need to put ourselves in their shoes. Complete the attached worksheet.
Hello everyone! Hope you are all well and making sure to have lots of fun in the sun in between your tasks. Remember to check your packs for more tasks.
Literacy
Our weather has been mixed over the past wee while with some gorgeous sunny weather to some rubbish cold and wet weather! Here’s hoping the nice weather stays around for a good while longer!!! Write a weather report. See how many adjectives (describing words) you can use!
Do a bit of research and then write a set of clear instructions on how a rainbow is made – remember to include some lovely pictures!
Writing – remember to complete Miss Taylor’s writing task that will be posted on the blog at some point this week.
Numeracy
Choose a number between 10 and 20. How many different ways can this number be partitioned? Do bigger numbers have more ways they can be partitioned? Try some out!
Here is an example of partitioning to remind you:
14 could be partitioned as:
10 and 4
11 and 3
12 and 2 etc
You could also have a look at this PowerPoint for larger numbers:
Use maps and atlases to identify Ireland and more specifically, Northern Ireland.

Literacy
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/

You could also try these games to help you learn and spell new tricky words:
Write a ‘thank you’ letter to the people who collect your rubbish and recycling.
-What could you include in your letter? Can you think of any questions you could ask about recycling or where the rubbish goes? Perhaps you could leave this letter for them the next time they collect your bins – remember to tell them what a good job they are doing and thank them for all their hard work during this difficult time.
Health
Let’s continue our healthy eating work.
Complete the Healthy Eating I Spy sheet by circling all the healthy foods.
Then complete your ideal healthy lunch box using the worksheet provided.
Finally you could set up a healthy eating challenge – lay out a selection of small portions of healthy foods for people in your family to taste (make sure they cover their eyes) and see which ones they guess correctly.
Look at some images of Scotland such as the Grampian Mountains, Loch Ness, thistles etc. Symbols such as thistles are used to represent countries. Find out about different animal species found in Scotland – draw some of these giving some information on each below or around them.

Have a lovely day and enjoy the sunshine! Remember to wear sun cream!!!!
Good morning P3, I hope you all have had a great week!! Here are some learning ideas for you to enjoy;
Science
We are going to look at evolution, what does this mean? Discuss your ideas with a grown up and then watch the following clip about fossils. Can you write down at least three facts? Maybe you draw some pictures of fossils too!
Maths
The weather has been lovely so I have attached some outdoor maths challenge cards for you to enjoy. Ask a grown up to help you and have fun!!
Remember there are different ways to keep our bodies and minds healthy at this time. Mrs Morrison is trying to go for a long walk everyday and although it’s tiring, I do feel better afterwards! Here is a clip from Go Noddle to get you moving, enjoy!!
Have a lovely weekend and I will check in with you all next Friday!!
Today there is a powerpoint for you to look at. We have watched it before but we didn’t complete the activity it suggests. It is a good reminder about all the artifacts you would see in a church. This time watch the powerpoint and complete the activity suggested on slide 11. I’m looking forward to seeing some lovely leaflets.
This week we are going to have a look at adjectives. They describe the nouns. I know you have been using them to help make your writing more interesting. Look at the following powerpoint which shows how useful adjectives are in descriptions. Now follow the instructions in slide 8 and make some super sentences.
Let’s wake ourselves up with this – I think you’ll love it!!:

Numeracy
We are going to look at Doubling Numbers today – this links nicely with your two times table that you have already been practising. Have a look at these videos, this first one is quite straight forward:
The second video looks at trickier numbers, but uses a method we are used to using which is PARTITIONING and we use this often in our number talks. This shows you how easy it is to double (or times by 2) bigger numbers:
Try doubling some numbers yourself or perhaps ask someone at home to give you some numbers to try!
Listen to Newsround and discuss what has been happening in the world this week. What new things have you found out?
Create your own news report on what has been happening in your day to day life just now. Why not try dressing up like a news reporter and present your report to your family or get them involved in presenting it!
Remember to look on the Blog for this week’s writing task from Miss Taylor when she posts it.
IDL
Research Holyrood Palace – create a mind map or spider diagram to write down as many facts as you can about it. You can use the template below if you wish, or create your own:

There is some good ideas on creating homemade instruments in the video clip below, and I’m sure you could find some more!
