Primary 3 – Monday 27th April
Good morning everyone! Welcome to another week of activities. You can now pick up your new learning packs from the school office – I have put your name on each of your packs.
Let’s start the week with some Joe Wicks:
Literacy – Look at a family in a traditional story (like Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella etc) – how are they different to your family? Can you write sentences comparing the two families?
Why not try reading something different this week? 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.
Numeracy – Use this link to play Hit the Button – to practise your number bonds, halving, doubling and times tables : https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
Why not try challenging someone at home!!
Art & Design – Draw something you love – it could be a favourite toy, your pet or another item in your house, or maybe something in your garden, anything you love! Try to include as much detail as possible!
Enjoy your day!
Mrs Hillan
Primary 7 27/04/20
Morning everyone. Hope you are all well and managed to get out over the weekend either into your garden or for a safe walk.
We will start with Joe Wicks this morning.

Today for maths we are going to be learning to work out distance travelled. In the folder, Before Break, there is a formula that you need to read over and understand before you can start. I will be here for any questions you have.
There are then some calculations to be done using the formula. Please use the same layout they have used in the examples.
L.I. to calculate distance using speed and time.
S.C. I can use the formula
After you have completed that, there are some 12 / 24 hr timetabling to work on.
Okay once you have done ALL the maths set for today there is a comprehension about the Sun. The weather has been so good that I thought it was relevant. Remember to answer in sentences with all the detail you can find.

I want you to create a workout that we could do in the morning. Read over the criteria and think about how you will start this. I expect this to take this afternoon and probably longer.

Here are some questions all about telling the time. Use this clock face to help you.
Can you write down the time 1 hour after:

- Half past 3
- 4:30
Can you write down the time 2 hours after:

Have a go at answering these multiplication questions. How did you work out the answer? Can you discuss your strategy with someone at home?
Spelling
Each group has a new spelling sound this week – please see the weekly grid for your spelling and tricky words. Can you write your words in a list? Can you write a silly story all about your day using your spelling and tricky words in the story? I can’t wait to read some of them!
Special Activity
Recently, I have been doing a lot of baking (maybe a bit too much!). One of my favourite things to bake just now is scones! I love to eat them with clotted cream and jam whilst drinking a lovely cup of coffee. If you would like to try out making scones for yourself, follow this link for a super yummy recipe!

Read the story with the help of an adult. Can you answer the following questions..
Why do you think Rob rubs his tum?
Can you name some of the things Rob puts in his pan?
Would you like to taste his mixture and why?
Phonics
Our new sound to focus on this week is ‘w’
These are some of our learning targets for this sound that we will be working on for the rest of the week.
Success Criteria
I can say the sound to match the letter shape.
I know that w is a red, stretchy, lip sound.
I can blend this sound with other sounds to say a word I recognise.
I can write this letter to spell words with the sound.
How many words beginning with w can you think of? Go on a search around your house for inspiration.
Here is the jolly jingle just for fun.
Can you make the letter? In class we would use play doh or loose parts. What materials can you find in your house the make the shape of the letter? Remember you can take pictures and email them to me using the school email address.

Numeracy and Maths
Daily 10
Let’s challenge ourselves with 10 questions this week instead of 5. I will include a mixture of calculations which we have been working on since the start of the year.
4 + 4 = 6 – 6 = 5 + 6= 3 – 2 = 5 – 0 =
5 + 5 = 10 – 3 = 3 – 1 = 6 + 6 = 10 – 2 =
Good luck! Remember to talk about the strategies or tools which you used to help you solve the calculation.
Money
Our new maths focus for the start of this term is money. Included in your pack are lots of worksheets which will help you get to grips with coin values, ordering money, adding money and a few other fun activities.
As a starter for this topic Natwest are holding a MoneySense Monday lesson on Facebook live. You will have to ask an adult to help you find the page. This goes live from 10.00 to 10.30am and the focus is on notes and coins.
If you want to explore their website there are a number of fun interactive games for you to play.
https://natwest.mymoneysense.com/home/
Hopefully by now, you all have access to your sumdog passwords and user names, I have set a skills practise game called ‘Money 1’ in our class section for you to challenge yourself with.
I have also set a very simple game on EducationCity called Money Box Sorting which will help you recognise and identify different coins by looking at their colour. There is a also a fun colouring activity in your pack which will also help you work on this skill. Below is a link in case you haven’t got your pack yet.
Topic
Our brand new topic for this term will be centred around ‘The Woodland’.
As a starter activity for this afternoon, have a think about what you know already about the woodland or forest. Think about trees, plants and animals. What would you like to learn? I would love to hear your suggestions.. why not have an adult take a picture of your ideas and email it into the school email address. Your work could include questions, statements, pictures… be as creative as you like!
Good luck with all your learning activities for today. I will be back tomorrow with more tasks for you.
