Here is the money challenge. Have a go and let Mr Turner know how you get on.

Primary 7

You may have seen Captain Tom Moore on the news in the past week or so. He has been walking to raise money for the NHS and has raised over 27 million! At almost 100 years old, he is an inspiration to many people and reminds us that we all can play our part in some small way.

I bet in 100 years of life,  Captain Tom has many stories to tell!

This week P5 – 7 children we are going to write to him to share our stories and ask about his!

Sensory walk

We are very lucky to have had some amazing weather recently and with the days getting longer we can hopefully get out every day for a walk, at some point!

Below is a health and wellbeing sensory walk challenge. It can easily be adapted just by changing colours and objects to be found each day. You will only need a device for taking photos and maybe a notepad for drawings. Enjoy!

Good Morning Everybody!

Happy Thursday everyone, I hope you are all well and ready for another sunny day.

Reading

For our last task featuring the story ‘The Big Carrot’ I would like you to create a sentence for the ending of the story seeing the last page is only a picture.

Use our class log in details to access the Oxford Owls ebooks

Username  – deans12

Password  – mrsstevenson

Re- read the story and think about what the last sentence in the book might be. You could even make the very last page by drawing the picture and writing the sentence beneath. You might even like to add on some speech bubbles and think about what the characters might say or think.

Phonics

Yesterday we had a focus on the ee and oo sounds from previous terms. For today’s phonics revision, let’s look at b and d. These are two tricky sounds which can catch a few of us out quite easily. Here’s a fun clip to help us remember what they look like.

One way to help us remember which way round each letter goes is to make a thumbs up in each hand and put them together. Imagine it is a bed with bedposts, sound out the word bed  b-e-d.

I have attached an activity for you all to try.

b and d confusion colouring   

Now have a go at thinking of some b and d words. Can you write them out with the correct initial sound and making sure it is the right way round? Here are some to have a go with if you can’t think of any.

b – a – t           b- u – n           b – a- p               b – e – t

d – o – g         d – i – d             d- i – p                d – e – n

 

Numeracy

Subitising ten frames.

Below is an activity to help you with your subitising skills.  You only have 3 seconds per flash card so be ready, you can either shout them out at the computer or write them down, making sure you get the numbers round the correct way.

(Subitising is the ability to instantly recognise the number of objects in a small group without having to count them out.)

Have a go at completing this ten frame worksheet.

puppy ten frame activity

Ten frames are easy to make, if you have some chalk you could draw some outside and even join two ten frames together to practise numbers up to 20 or if you like a challenge beyond 20!

Daily 5 – Near Doubles.

Remember the rule and see if you can solve the calculation without any tools. If you can that’s brilliant, but it’s ok to have a little help too!

4 + 5 =                       5 + 6 =                  3 + 4 =

6 + 7 =                        2 + 3 =

Transient Spring Art

My challenge for you today in art is as follows.

Go into your gardens/ or on your daily exercise have a look for some natural materials, such as different leaves, twigs, interesting stones etc. Bring them home and lay them out to create a picture. If you are lacking materials you can always use different objects you find around the home which you think might be interesting.  You can be as creative as you like, the great thing about this is you don’t need to glue the materials down. If you wish you can take a picture and send it to the school email address. Here are a few to give you some inspiration.

Good luck with all your learning activities for today, but remember it is just as important to relax and have time for play. Mrs Lockhart will be posting some more activities for you tomorrow and I will be back here on Monday. Have a great weekend and stay safe everyone.

This should take you to ‘My bookshelf’ and then the selection of books.

The book I would you to explore today is called ‘The Haircut.’ Talk with your grown ups about what happens in the story and how the story ends. Once you have finished, go to play activity one where you have to organise the story in the correct order. Use the book to help you complete the task. Good luck!!
