Deans Primary School Blog

Good morning everybody and welcome to a new week! Here is the plan for the day: Daily Plan – Mon 8th March 2021. I am in school this week again.

Let’s start our day with the Joe Wicks session  – select the Friday episode (Friday 5^th March) https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pe+with+joe

I have now put another 1 or 2 new books in your Reading Group Booklists: https://online.raintree.co.uk/login/index.html. Some books are longer so will take the groups longer to read.

There will be a live check in around 9:30 with me.

 

Numeracy

L/I To multiply numbers.

S/C T – I can multiply numbers by 2 and 10

S&C- I can multiply numbers by 2,3,4,5 and 10

 

Task: This week we are continuing our topic of multiplication.

In Class Materials- Mrs Hillan in the files section you will find your Multiplication activities. There are textbook/activity book pages for each group – Triangles – Textbook pg 37 and Activity Book pg 27, Squares/Circles – Textbook pg 38. Please put your completed sheets or the sums on paper into your folder in the files section once you have finished.

TRIANGLES – Task 1- SHM3 Textbook pg 37 – Mon 8th March Final

TRIANGLES – Task 2- SHM3 Activity book pg 27 – Mon 8th March Final

Task:

L/I To make a prediction

S/C I can use my knowledge of what I have heard to predict what will happen next in our class novel.

Task: Predict what will happen next in our story based on the last chapter – write about your prediction firstly and then show this in a detailed drawing. You can use the Predictor sheet in ‘Class Materials – Mrs Hillan’ folder or just draw and write about it on a piece of paper/jotter. Remember to make this detailed and connected to the part we have just read. Once you have completed this, please put it into your folder in the Files Section.

Your second task is to complete the Thought Bubble task – you will find this in our folder and it tells you what to do. You can use Mr Stink, our group reader from Raintree online or a book of your choice.

We will catch up at 12:15 to see how we are all getting on.

Hello everyone, Mrs Lockhart here again. Hope you are all well.

Today you can find your work for Mrs Dobbie in her folder in class materials. This is independent work as Mrs Dobbie is in school today. I will meet with you in a check in at 11.00 and again after lunch at 1.30 for a catch up and dictation. All your work for the day from me is in the Class Materials folder dated Thursday 4.3.21. We are covering RME /French with Mrs Dobbie, a lot of activities for World Book Day, dictation and reading.

Don’t forget it is good to have regular brain breaks and to get some fresh air.

As usual I have written down times to try and help with organisation but feel free to move things around or do them later if that’s easier.

8.55 Mrs Dobbie’s activities

BREAK 10.30 – 10.45

Check in at 11.00 – and a short Getting to Know You Activity

Now try Free Writing Friday (on Thursday!). Choose any topic you want and write about it. Remember I can look at it, if you want me to, but I’m not allowed to mark it. This is all about you being creative and enjoying the writing experience.

12.15 Emoji check in. Let me know, by using the emoji at the side, how you are getting on.

LUNCH 12.30-1.15

1.30 LIVE CHECK IN and Dictation

2.00 Next task is to read a non-fiction book. This is the last week of these books (All About Teeth or Animal Migration) so it is time to complete a review. The worksheet is in Class Materials, Mrs Lockhart, Thursday 4.3.21. Remember Animal Migration is a little trickier so choose that one if you’re a confident reader. The follow up task is the same for each book.

As usual you will find the books online by following this link https://online.raintree.co.uk/login/index.html

Now follow these steps…………..

1. Username:DEAEH5
2. Password: pupil
3. Type All About Teeth or Animal Migration into the search bar at the top of the page
4. Then press the big green button READ BOOK

Remember you can use the audio button to listen to the book being read until you are confident enough to read it by yourself.

Then complete the review sheet – in the summary part you write 4/5 sentences telling me what the book was about and in the critique/recommendation part you tell me what you liked /disliked about it and if you would recommend it to a friend.

Story time    https://www.storylineonline.net/books/fast-words-fly/
