Happy Thursday Primary 1/2 11.06.20
Good Morning Everyone!
Happy Thursday boys and girls, I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s Wellbeing Wednesday tasks and you are ready for a fun Thursday. Keep working through your packs (hopefully you have now received your new pack) and checking here for any additional activities.
Let’s start of the day with a song. Do you remember this one, it’s an oldie but a goodie… teach your adult the moves..
Reading
Today we are going to choose a non-fiction text from Oxford Owls. Can you tell your adult what the difference between fiction and non-fiction is? To access Oxford Owls follow the link and use the following details.
https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ username deans12 password mrsstevenson
Access the book ‘What’s in the Woods?’
Before reading can you make a list of all the living things you might find in the wood? Then with the help of an adult, read through the book, make sure you talk about the pictures and use them to help you decode any tricky words in the text. Use the questions at the back of the book for discussion with your adult.
Whilst we’re on the topic of woods and wilderness…today’s random act of wildness is..
This sounds fantastic, who doesn’t love to have a picnic outside! Although some of those birds can be a bit greedy so watch out – best to make up a nice snack of seeds for them too, see how many different birds you can attract to your garden.
Why not write a picnic list of all your favourite treats, try to include some healthy snacks too! Ask an adult to help you prepare your picnic and go and enjoy. Whilst enjoying your picnic what birds can you spot? You could even make your own binoculars for a bit of bird watching. Here are some ideas for inspiration.. super easy and I’m sure everyone has plenty of toilet rolls laying around.
I would love to see any pictures you take of your picnic or of any birds you happen to spot!
Phonics/handwriting
Today I would like you to practise a writing the wh sound using a join between the two letters. Have a go in your jotters, don’t forget to use a sharp pencil and to rest your letters on the line, making sure the tall letters reach high. Green for growth and tickle pink your work after!
Whilst we are focusing on handwriting. Below is a copy of the nursery rhyme Jack and Jill, if you have any fancy paper, practise your handwriting by copying out the poem in your very very best handwriting and draw a lovely picture to illustrate it. Again, it would love to see any of your work!
Numeracy and Maths
Let’s warm up with a song to help us with our daily ten…
Find the difference…. this is another way of saying take away. Find the difference between 5 and 10, we always know that when subtracting the biggest number goes first! So the calculation would be 10-5 = 5
So here are your daily ten for today. (write out the calculation making sure the symbols go in the correct place!)
- Find the difference between 7 and 9.
- Find the difference between 20 and 10
- Find the difference between 4 and 6
- Find the difference between 10 and 2
- Find the difference between 6 and 9
- Find the difference between 3 and 10
- Find the difference between 12 and 2
- Find the difference between 11 and 1
- Find the difference between 15 and 0
- Find the difference between 3 and 13
Can you remember all the different words for take away? Make a list of all the ones you can remember.
Story Time
Grab your milk or water bottle and have a listen to this story, ‘The Very Lonely Firefly’ by Eric Carle
https://youtu.be/_XrPyF4Mpl4
I’ve always been really interested in fireflies and their glowing bodies, when I was in New Zealand I got to visit some caves with thousands of glow worms, it was so amazing! Here is a little clip – totally amazing and fascinating!
What can you find out about fireflies…
Can you make your own fact file about fire flies?
Or how about having a go at making something which glows in the dark? So cool, especially on these summer nights.
Finally, have a go at drawing your own fire flies in a jar.
I hope you have enjoyed all of the home learning activities for today. Have a great weekend boys and Girls, Mrs Lockhart will be posting activities tomorrow for you. Stay safe, I miss you all.

Thursday 11th June 2020
Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all enjoyed yesterdays “Wellness Wednesday” activities. Instead of a good morning quote I thought it would be a good idea to start the day with a song. The song below is from the Learning Station and I know how much you love singing their songs. So enjoy sharing this song with someone at home. It will make you smile!
I hope you have all managed to collect your new learning packs from school and enjoy working through the tasks. Some activities for you to try today.
Activity 1 Phonics – 
igh sound
L.I. to understand that 3 letters can make 1 sound
L.I. to read and spell words in sentences with this pattern
S.C. I can say the sound to match the letter shape
S.C. I can blend this sound with other sounds to read words and sentences
S.C. I can read and write sentences with igh words in them
On Tuesday I introduced you to our new sound from Inky’ Vowel House igh
Today I would like you to unscramble the sentences below. You may find it helpful to copy the words onto pieces of paper and move them around until your sentence makes sense. Good Luck!
Challenge – in your new learning pack there is a Phase 3 Roll and Read – igh game. Roll the dice and test yourself, how many igh words do you recognise?
Activity 2 –
Reading
L.I. to read words and sentences
S.C.I can use pictures from the text as a clue to help me recognise unfamiliar words
S.C. I can use the words that I know in a sentence to help predict what a unfamiliar word could be
S.C. I can answer questions about a text to demonstrate my understanding
S.C. I can re-tell the story using pictures
New book today from Oxford Owls – www.oxfordowl.co.uk, my class login, deansprimary1, reading, e-books, age 5-6 then scroll down to Fright Night.
Enjoy sharing the story with someone at home. Can you answer the questions to chat about at the front of the book? Can you re-tell the story using the pictures at the back of the book?
Activity 3 – 
Number Talks
L.I. to identify the number of objects in a set quickly, without counting
S.C. I can show the steps I took to solve a problem
S.C. I can explain why I did it the way I did
S.C. I can check my answers and make sure they are correct
Remember Number Talks are all about how you solve a task mentally. For this activity, don’t use anything to help you, just your brain!
For each card (8 cards on each slide)- How many dots do you see and how do you see them? Explain how you counted them, Is there a different way to do it? Which is the fastest most efficient way?
Remember to ask someone at home to test you on your daily 10 (addition, subtraction, time. money length etc.)
L.I to match numbers to their number name
S.C. I can match a number to its written name for example 5 to five, 8 to eight etc.
There is one activity I would like you to complete from your old learning pack. It’s called Number Names – Home activity 10 (use home sheets 23 and 24) Sheet 23 has numbers 0 to 20 and Sheet 24 number names zero to twenty. You can cut out the numbers and the number name cards and play a matching game or, turn a card over how many more to make 10 or 20 similarly with subtraction, when you turn a card over can you subtract it from 10/20 etc. Challenge – can you create your own game?
Activity 4 – Random Acts of Wildness
Today’s challenge- 
You can picnic in the garden or at the park. I know the birds would love a snack of fruit, cheese or seeds. Enjoy!
Activity – 5 
As I have mentioned in previous blogs the Glasgow Science Center and posting activities and experiments for you to try at home. I think you may enjoy this one. It’s called Design-a-Saurus you can probably guess what it is about. Enjoy!
Have a fantastic day and I will be back tomorrow with some more activities!
P.3 11/6/20

Maths
We are continuing our work on fractions and in particular numerators and denominators. Follow the link to remind yourself about numerators and denominators.
Numerator is the top number in a fraction. It shows how many parts we have. The bottom number is the Denominator and shows how many equal parts the item is divided into.

Deans Den- Thursday 11th June
Good morning all and I hope you are safe and well. I miss our time together and have been thinking about the learning we used to enjoy. One of our favourite activities was to have some quiet time watching Auntie Mable and Pippin on their adventures. I have attached the episode where they explore where soap comes from.
It is important to wash our hands to make sure we get rid of any germs. Here is a song to the baby shark tune to help you remember, enjoy!!
P5/6 Thursday 11th June
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.
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 |
The activities in “Education City” at the moment are mostly to support your learning on fractions. I am adding some literacy/grammar activities.
A lot of you seem to be really interested in Martin Luther King. Ethan has created a HotPotatoes quiz on him. Please try it. I have put 2 different fact files and an easier reading comprehension into the ”MLK” folder – unfortunately I still haven’t worked out how to separate pages of the Adobe documents. I first put this work together for you for the Tuesday of last week, 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.
Please also continue with our recent work on up-levelling , using Self Assessment strategies including two stars and a wish.
Don’t forget the work in Mrs Lockhart’s folder and “Covid Related Activities” and exercise with Joe.
I have a meeting on Thursday morning so won’t be around to support you during that time but I will check in briefly before and be on-line for you in the afternoon.
Take care!

“Corona Virus – A book for Children”
This digital book comes from the “Jigsaw PSHE” programme, which we use throughout the school for Health and Wellbeing.
It is a great way to have a discussion – perhaps with the whole family- as things gradually begin to change.
