Happy Friday!! Hope you are all safe and well and have been enjoying the different learning activities provided by Mrs Hillan and Mrs Lockhart. Today is International Families Day and whilst we can’t spend time with our extended families at the moment, I thought it would be a good opportunity to spend quality time with the grown ups in your house. Maybe you could go on a walk together, watch a movie or play a board game. The Morrison family like to play frustration and it can get quite competitive!!

Maths

This week we are going to explore the different units of weight. Can you think why this is important to learn and which jobs would use measurements such as kg and g? Read the powerpoint that explains different units of weight and I have  attached a challenge sheet, where you could bake something at home and record the different units of weights used. Enjoy!!

Science

We are going to explore food webs and how they can show the link between different food chains. Watch the following clip and then I have attached instructions on how to make a food web mobile. Have fun!!

Practical food webs

Fitness Friday

I hope you are all managing to keep fit and well during your time at home. Remember there are lots of different ways to keep fit such a walking, running, yoga and going for a bike ride. I hope you have managed to complete your fitness diary challenge that I posted a few weeks ago. If you can, please send a copy of your fitness record to the school email and I will access them from there.

Have a great weekend and I will check in with you all next Friday!

Hello boys and girls, I hope everyone has had a good week and you are ready for Thursday’s home learning tasks. I hope you enjoyed Wellbeing Wednesday and got involved in the wellbeing slogan competition. Good luck!

I thought we might start today with a dance workout.

R.E.

For the next wee while in our religious studies we are going to look at celebrations and festivals. We are going to focus today on an important Christian celebration. We have talked about it before, it is a Christening. Watch the powerpoint to remind us.

Literacy

This week we are going to have another wee look at nouns. I know you have been adding adjectives into your writing work so this should be straightforward. If you want to remind yourself about them have a look at this youtube clip (it is a bit American but it’s a good reminder about nouns).

Then complete the noun worksheet below.

underline the nouns

Maths

We are continuing our work on fractions and are focusing on halves and quarters.

Complete the half worksheet by sorting the half fraction shapes from the others. Use the second sheet to check your answers.

Let’s finish with a story. This is another one of my favourites – Somebody loves you, Mr Hatch

Good morning everyone!

Hope you are all well today and ready to learn.

Try to keep your fitness levels up. Remember to tune into Joe Wicks every day! I thought you might enjoy trying out these today:

Numeracy

Choose a number between 0 – 50. Make a poster showing how many different ways you can represent this number – like what we do in class for number talks!

There are a lot of strategies we can use to help us with our times tables – these are called Multiplicative Counting Strategies. I have attached a poster below which shows some of the different strategies. They have used the sum of ‘4×5’ – create your own poster to help you remember these strategies using a sum of your own, for example – 5×3 or 2×6 – use a sum within the 2,3,4,5 or 10 times tables.

Literacy

Write sentences using adjectives to describe a room in your house – draw a picture of the room you described.

-Hide and seek: Write a set of instructions on how to find something in your bedroom. Think about the positional language (left, right, forwards, backwards etc) to help find the object.

– Remember to do this week’s writing task set by Miss Taylor – this will be on the Blog.

IDL/Drama

Read the legend of Saint George and the Dragon and identify St George’s Cross in the Union Jack.

You can use the story attached or Google it yourself. I have also attached a video you can watch with a follow up task:

https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/short-stories/george-and-the-dragon

short-stories-british-tales-george-and-the-dragon-transcript

short-stories-british-tales-george-and-the-dragon-worksheet

Create a short drama at home showing the story of St George and the Dragon. If you can’t get someone to join in as George or the Dragon – perhaps use a toy at home or create a model! Perform this for your family and ask them to give you 2 stars and a wish. Feel free to take pictures to share!!

Survey:

Could you please complete this survey about school meals. It would be hugely appreciated! :

You will have some nice family activities posted tomorrow for Wellbeing Wednesday and then Mrs Lockhart and Mrs Morrison will be with you on Thursday and Friday!

Take care and enjoy the rest of your week!

Mrs Hillan

Good Morning everyone!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and you’re ready for another week of learning! Remember to check your packs for which activities you can do this week.

Literacy – Listen to the traditional story ‘ Jack and the Beanstalk’. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/english-ks1-jack-and-the-beanstalk-episode-1/zjfwkmn

Find a set of instructions for planting a seed or a bean – try Google or this link – https://www.science-sparks.com/bean-in-a-jar/.

Read the instructions out aloud and then write them out (perhaps in your own words!).

Can you then follow the instructions and plant a seed? Remember to keep watering it! If you don’t have a seed you could maybe try a clipping from another plant you have in your garden – ask permission first of course!

Numeracy

Practise counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. This game could support this – http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/earlymath/BalloonPopSkip.htm

(Remember to allow adobe flash player if it doesn’t work first time, any issues you can always try to find another game online to help)

• Look in different rooms in your house and go on a number hunt. How many items can you find that have numbers on them? What is the largest number you can find (maybe something like a barcode?)? What is the smallest number you can find? Note these down.

IDL

Find out what the flag of Saint Patrick looks like and look at how the union flag altered when the flag of Saint Patrick was added.  Write this information down in your own words as best you can.

You could then use what you have at home to recreate the Saint Patrick Flag in whichever way you like. If you can, take a photo of what you create!

Enjoy your Monday everyone!

Mrs Hillan

Welcome back boys and girls, I hope everyone had a lovely long weekend and you are feeling refreshed and ready for Thursday’s home learning tasks.

R.E.

Recently we have looked at values in our lives. We looked at Christian stories in the Bible for some inspiration. Remember The Lost Sheep.

Today we are looking at the Qu’ran the Holy Book for Muslims. One strong value for a Muslim is from the Zakat – Pillar Three.

This value is about looking after other people. Each Muslim gives up a share of his wealth each year to provide for those less fortunate.

This demonstrates the value of being fair.

Can you think of a time when you were fair?  Maybe when you were playing with your friends or sharing out toys or food.

Draw a picture on the worksheet below of a time when you remember being fair. Write a short explanation about it too.

RME P.3 values being fair

Literacy

This week we are going to have another wee look at nouns. If you want to remind yourself about them have another look at the noun powerpoint. Remember Naomi Noun…..

T-L-4911-Nouns-Powerpoint_ver_2

Now complete the noun hunt sheet below.

Maths

We are continuing our work on fractions. We are focusing on halves and quarters just now.     

Look at the Pizza Fraction powerpoint.

You will see that you can get more than one quarter 1/4

You can have two quarters which  is the same as a half .

You can also have three quarters. 

Complete the pizza fraction worksheet.

Did you notice it doesn’t matter whether you are a boy or a girl when you choose the job you want to do?

Think about the job you would like when you grow up. Try to think of three choices and use one of the worksheets to make your own When I Grow Up. I’d Like to be a ………………………….. poem.

Let’s finish with a story. This is one of my favourites – A Lion in the Library!!

Wednesday 6^th May

Good morning everyone!

I hope you have enjoyed the long weekend and spent some quality time with your family.

Remember to have a look in your new packs to see the activities you have to work through.

Hope you’ve been remembering to keep your fitness up and doing your daily exercising. Let’s do some PE with Joe this morning:

Numeracy – Write out your 10 times table and ask someone at home to check you have them all correct and to test you on these!

You can also watch the video below to help remind you!

Art – What does your house look like inside and outside? How many bedrooms does it have? What other rooms are in the house? Draw a picture of your house from the outside and then draw it from an inside view – try to include as much detail as possible. You can show the inside like the image below:

Literacy – Imagine you lived in a different house (maybe your dream house) – what would it look like outside and inside? What kinds of rooms would it have – a cinema room? A swimming pool? Write a story about showing your best friend around your new house. Describe everything you would see and say how you feel about your house.

Mrs Lockhart and Mrs Morrison will be posting for you on Thursday and Friday.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Mrs Hillan

Happy Friday P3, I hope you are all safe and well. I hope a grown up has managed to collect your learning pack from school. Here are some additional activities for you to complete:

Science

In science, we are going to  learn about the differences between living and non-living things. What do we do that makes us living beings? Discuss your ideas with a grown up and note them down in your home learning jotter. Watch the following clip on the differences between living and non-living things and I then I would like you to design a poster highlighting the characteristics (features) of living things.

Maths

I hope you managed to complete last week’s task of measuring different objects around your home. Today, we are going to learn about the different units of measurement and how to convert m to cms. I have attached a powerpoint for you to read and then I would like you to answer questions on measuring using cm and m.

MeasuringLength_cm_m

PE- Healthy Body and Mind

Yoga is a great way to help create a healthy body and mind. I have attached a link to ‘Cosmic Kids’ Yoga. Hope you find this fun but relaxing as well and maybe you could ask a grown up to join in!

Have a lovely weekend and I will check in with you next Friday.

Good morning everyone, Mrs Lockhart here.

I hope you are all well this morning and ready for another day of learning!

Mrs Hillan has encouraged me to do the Joe Wicks workout. Use the link for you and anyone else in your house who wants to join in and get moving. It’s a great start to your day!

Now print the card sheet below, cut out the pictures of nouns and place them in the correct place around your home (some are for a school so you will have to miss them out).

If you can’t print them, you could copy the word and place it in the correct place. Explain to everyone that you are identifying the nouns. See if you can find more nouns in the house.

Feeling Good

Last week we completed a worksheet about what keeps us feeling good inside and out. We wrote the things that keep our bodies healthy on the outside of the outline and the things that help to keep our minds healthy inside the outline.

Today we have a poem to create about all the things that make us feel good inside and out.

Inside and Out Acrostic Poem Activity – Black and White

Story Time

Now time for a story  – A Bad Case of Stripes.  I think Camilla felt bad inside and out until she decided to think for herself.

I’ll be back next Thursday. Enjoy your day!
