Primary 3 – 22/06/2020

Good morning Primary three pupils and parents.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I cannot believe that I am writing this, but this is your last week as Primary three’s! This year has come in so quickly and it feels like it was only yesterday that we were all together in the classroom on the first day of P3! Although this is not how we would have planned the ending of the school year, we can still look at all we have achieved and be proud of how we have progressed. I am so proud of you all.

This week I will still be sending out activities to be completed along with the health fortnight grid sent out last week which I will attach below. Maths this week will be a revision of topics we have covered and some fun activities. I will also be including a few science/craft activities so please pick what ones you would like to do of these as a bit of fun for the end of term.

Fitness grid: Health-Week-Pack

For today, I would like you to complete this Maths revision of Multiplication which we have worked very hard on this year. Write the sum’s out in your jotter or on a blank piece of paper (remember to write the date and E10 at the top of the page). Once you have answered the sum’s, work out the message that the Alien has been trying to communicate with you. NOTE TO PARENTS: Please save your ink and do not to print off this sheet, as it will use a lot of ink. Use a laptop or device and get your child to write the sum’s and answers in their jotter or on paper. Thank you.

Secondly, I would like us to take a look at Fair trade. Before you look at the PowerPoint, What is Fair trade? What do you know about it already?

I would like you to look at the PowerPoint and create a poster afterwards to encourage people to buy Fair trade products. Think of the answers to these questions when creating your poster… What is Fair trade? Why is it important? What benefit’s do buying Fair trade products have over non Fair trade products?  Remember a poster needs to be eye catching and bold with writing that grabs the attention of people reading it.

As an extra activity, it would be wonderful if you could write a list of the food you eat in one day. Where does your food come from? (You will be surprised at how far food has travelled!). Is the food you eat Fair trade?

Here are two science/fun experimental activities to do. Choose one or both to try out. Can you explain what is happening and how it works? NOTE TO PARENTS: Please save your ink and do not to print off these sheets, as it will use a lot of ink. Use a laptop or device to read the instructions.

Last week of P4!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and looking forward to the last week of term. We are still focussing on Health Week and the activities on the grid that was issued last week. Well done to all who submitted Sports Day results – Primary 4 were very well represented.

I have also provided a learning grid with some other activities as usual. The last batch of documents I will add this week are optional activities that some of you might like to do during the holidays. Remember that all activities from during Lockdown are also still available here on the blog or on Teams, so you can catch up if you are able.

19.6.20 P1 Sharing their Learning

With two weeks to go in the term, fitness fortnight starting and a little more freedom to meet others, it has been a new beginning and yet more of the same.  As usual you have done us proud, whether you are doing planned school work or making your own learning activities, or even just keeping going.  Resilience has many facets and we don’t always recognise we have it until we look back.  Remember you are doing ok and we have loved being on the journey with you.

Many of you have once again shared some of the highlights of your week and it has been great to see the varied activities that are going on. We have also valued seeing you doing other things too, as the saying goes, a change is as good as a rest.

As it is fitness fortnight, lets start with some photos of your sports day events, with a special well done to the virtual sports day winners Calderwood House.

    

You have been doing great learning this week:

Spelling and writing

 

Maths:

Life cycles:

There is so much fantastic reading going on:

And you are going out and about getting the chance to meet others or sometimes its just about having fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One more week of virtual school, lots of fun activities coming your way for our final Hurrah!

Remember if you have any further questions about anything just ask.

P2/1 Home Learning Reflection Week Ending 19th June 2020

Good afternoon Primary 2/1. I hope you have had fun this week with your virtual sports day and some of the other fitness activities. I have seen lots of photos and videos of sports day, obstacle courses and wee exercise routines.

This week for literacy P1 have been revising spelling patterns. They have been using chalk or coloured pencils to rainbow write words, looking for picture clues and writing words, making a word search and playing toss the word with a partner.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus for this week was on information handling and in particular tally marks, tally charts and bar graphs. We had to count the number of animals using tally marks, read the story Treasure in the Garden, collect our own treasures, make a tally chart to show our findings and create a bar graph using smarties.

P2’s focus in Literacy this week has been on the ‘ai or ay’ spelling pattern, up levelling sentences, designing a new front cover for a book and building sentences using our spelling words outside.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus this week was on making arrays, making doubles, making equal groups through sharing and grouping. We completed an array worksheet, played hit the button, played recognising equal groups game and completed White Rose’s Friday maths challenge.

This week we have read the story Olive the Sea Turtle, re-told the story to a family member, completed the life cycle of turtle and found out the differences between a turtle and a tortoise. For science this week Miss Whigham must have read our minds as she provided us with a PowerPoint about the life cycle of sea turtle and a worksheet to make our own turtle that tells us about each stage of the life cycle.
