Mrs Stevenson
Good morning everyone! Hope you are well and had an enjoyable weekend.
Let’s start off with some fun exercise today:
Remember to keep tuning in to Joe Wicks daily too!!!
Numeracy
For a Number Talk today, let’s think about adding any single digit to a multiple of 10 e.g 60+5=65
See how many you can come up with in 2 mins.
We have looked at doubling numbers, let’s look at halving numbers.
This video shows you Doubling and Halving so you can see the link between them. Have a bit of paper and a pencil ready to try some out along with the man on the video:
Now try these tasks. They start off fairly easy and become more difficult. Just do what you can do!
halving worksheets for Mon 15th June
Next try some of the games from the link below:
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Search.aspx?q=halving
Literacy
Reading – Continue to read as often as you can! 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.
Reading/writing:
Find a cooking book in the house or online and read the ingredients needed to make something. Write down any words you found tricky and look them up. Copy the recipe down or write it in your own words. Ask someone at home if you can try making what you have found.
Find a food leaflet in the house or simply look in your cupboards or a receipt from a recent food shop – read some of the items. Make a list of the food in alphabetical order.
Spelling – You have a list of spelling words included in your pack – remember to practise these regularly and use the spelling task cards to help! You can find the cards here if you have misplaced yours – http://www.blessedbeyondadoubt.com/spell-cards-printable/ – any problems accessing these email the school and I will help!
Try these games to help you learn and spell new tricky words:

Think back to our work on SIMILIES – A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things. The simile is usually in a phrase that begins with the words “as” or “like.” – for example: As big as an elephant. A METAPHOR is another thing we use in Literacy. I would like you to look at the video on this link, then the explanation underneath before writing 3 of your own METAPHORS (you can also find ideas online if you are stuck!). Once you have done this, there is a quiz at the bottom you can try all about METAPHORS and SIMILIES:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zfkk7ty/articles/z9tkxfr
Write a Letter: You can pick whether to write a letter to yourself reflecting on the past year and looking into the future or write a thank-you note to someone who has helped you throughout the year at school – pupil support assistants, parent volunteers, office staff, even other students.

Continue with your Personal Project. Here is what I posted last week to remind you:
As we don’t have long until the end of term, we thought instead of starting a new topic together that you could do a mini project of your own to work on until the Summer holidays. You can pick an animal, a sport, a hobby, a type of car, a singer/group you like – anything like that, to do your own research project on. Start off using the mind map below to record what you know already about your chosen topic, then collect as many facts, information, and pictures as you can. Remember to make your facts interesting and fun! If you can print pictures that would be great, but it would also be amazing to see of your own drawings, models and creations! We can use this to share with each other when we are back to school after the Summer!
DYW
There are two Developing Young Workforce tasks here, you can choose to do one or both!
DYW task 1 – Design a Theme Park
DYW task 2 – Organise a Fashion Show
Art
Fruit and vegetables printing: Look at the work of the artist: Lynn Flavell. How does she represent fruit and vegetables? Can you create a piece of artwork in the style of Lynn Flavell: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01d6gw2
Tomorrow we have our virtual Sports Day – please remember to tune in and take part!!!
Enjoy the rest of your day!!
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 shall add to it over time.
I have up-loaded information about our virtual sports day next week. Please take a look.
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 2nd 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 on this and I am thinking of adding another related activity. I think this could also be a health activity, what do you think?
Don’t forget the work in “Covid Related Activities”, Mrs Lockhart’s work and exercise with Joe.
Take care
Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Only 2 more weeks left in Primary 1!!! It has been such a quick year. As we are nearing the end of term the blog will be slightly different. There will be a literacy and numeracy task and some challenge tasks for you to enjoy.
Activity 1 – 
New Sound oi
L.I. to understand that 2 letters can make 1 sound
S.C. I can say the sound to match the letter shape oi
S.C.I can blend this sound with other sounds to read words
New sound today is oi. You will find this sound in Inky’s Vowel House underneath last weeks igh sound. The story about the oi sound is………..
Can you slide the sounds together to say the words below?
oi – l s – oi – l b – oi – l c – oi – n j – oi – n p – oi – n – t
Practice writing the oi sound in your jotter.Then complete oi Words Cut and Paste from your home learning pack.
Activity 3 – 
L.I. to count objects in a collection
L.I. to recognise numerals and number words
S.C. I can count objects in groups of up to 20
S.C. I can match a numeral to its number word
For this activity I would like you to turn to I Spy and Count to 20 sheet from your home learning pack. You have to count each of the summer object such as ice-cream, sun glasses etc. Once you have counted them write the total in numerals and number words e.g. Sun Glasses – 10 ten. Top Tip – it maybe a good idea to cross them off as you count them so you don’t count them twice.
Remember you can also finish off your SHM booklet at anytime.
Activity 3 – Random Acts of Wildness
Can you find a blade of grass and use it as a whistle?
Activity 4 – Disney Virtual Trip 
From now until the end of term I will be posting activities that will encourage you to use your imagination to go on a virtual trip of Disney land. As we can’t actually go this year this virtual trip is the next best thing.
Day 1 – Art
L.I. I am learning to create an eye-catching design.
S.C. I can create a front cover
S.C. I can include my name and age
Create a passport that you can use during your trip! Remember to include a front cover, your name, a picture of yourself and lots of space for characters names! Each time you see a character this week in a ride, video or song, make sure to write their name in your passport! How many characters will you meet by the end of the week?
