Hello everybody! Remember to keep working through your packs of learning.

Remember, today is……..

Take a look at our Virtual Sports Day activities!!

 

Literacy

Watch Newsround – note down any key things you have found out today to share with someone at home.

Have a check in with everyone at home – ask how everyone is and how they are feeling today. Share how you are and how you are feeling too.

 

Today we are going to continue to have a look at some ALLITERATION – Alliteration is when words start with the same sound: For example, Sammy the slippery snake came sliding. Alliteration is used in both written and spoken English. You can find examples in poetry, advertising and events commentary. It is often used in newspaper headlines to grab the reader’s attention.

 

Have a look at the sheet below which has loads of ALLITERATION ideas. Use these to create some silly sentences. For example:

‘The elephant ate eggs with the elf whilst he sealed the envelopes.’

T-L-6184-Alliteration-Ideas-Sheet – FOR TUES 16TH JUNE

 

 

Writing – Look at some cereal boxes. They make them eye-catching so that you want to pick them. Design a new label for a cereal box. What eye-catching information will you add? Can you use an exclamation mark? I’ve included some examples below:

 

Create a Class Survival Book – Create a page for a book that can be put together in the new term to tell the next class how things work in Primary 3 – what things do you do and learn? What daily jobs do you have? What are the rewards and sanctions in class?

This is Miss Taylor’s writing task this week:

Numeracy

Let’s start with this – Write the numbers 50-70 in words and digits.

We are going to continue looking at doubling and halving. Try these two tasks. For the first one, it gets progressively harder, so do what you can!

 Hope you enjoy Wellbeing Wednesday with your family tomorrow. Mrs Lockhart and Mrs Morrison will be with you on Thursday and Friday posting some more great activities for you.

Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your week!!

Mrs Hillan

Please do the work that is most appropriate for you. I set a lot of different activities so that you can choose what is best for your own personal learning.

I have created a new folder called “Special Activities” in “Teams” which has new and exciting activities for you for the next couple of weeks. Please take a look. I think some of you might be especially interested in the poetry competition, as you could build on the work you have done in the classroom with Mrs Stewart and me. I think some of you will also be interested in the funfair activity. I will keep adding more.

I have up-loaded some writing activities into the “General” folder in Teams.

I have also previously up-loaded information about our virtual sports tomorrow.

Maths: This seems to be working well for everyone: all of you seem to have material that is appropriate. Finish money first and then move onto measure. I think all 4 parts of TJay 2a Chapter 13 (a,b,c and d) are useful. This will help support your work on decimals to 3 places. If you have finished these you could do TJay 2a revision work on decimals: Chapters 5 and 7

	TJay 1b	TJay 2a	TJay 2b
Money	Chapter 7	Chapter 8	Chapter 7
Measure	Chapter 15	Chapter 13a,b,c and d	Chapter 13

You all appear to still have activities in “Education City” to do and I have added some more literacy/grammar activities, which seem to be popular. I will keep monitoring progress on all subjects.

A lot of you seem to be interested in Martin Luther King. I first put this work together for you for the Tuesday 2^nd June. Why? Why for that day? Why did I think it was important for you? Why is MLK relevant to us all today? Please think about these questions. You could use them, the information that I have supplied combined with any research you undertake. You could then choose how to present this work: a poster, a PowerPoint, a HotPotatoes quiz (could be very challenging or easier for younger children), an essay, a letter (who would you write to?). As usual, use your imaginations! You might also want to use your recent learning on persuasive writing. Some of you have already produced some really good work. I have also up-loaded a photograph related to this work for you to think about, discuss, research and possibly write about. It is in a Word document called “BLM” in the MLK folder.

Don’t forget the work in “Covid Related Activities”, Mrs Lockhart’s work and exercise with Joe.

Take care

 

 

Good Morning Primary 2! I hope you all have your sports clothes on and are ready for some fun Sports Day activities!! Please remember to stay hydrated throughout the day and send any pictures to jayne.moyes@westlothian.org.uk for a chance to win some pegs!
