P5 Tasks for Thursday 26/03/20

Tasks for Today

You choose how and when to do your tasks.  Tasks can be done in the assignments tab, class notebook, in a document which you email to me or you can just do it in a jotter and either send me a picture or ask someone at home to look at it and give you some feedback.   You can do your work anytime that suits you, and in any order you like.  However, if you need my help I will only be available during school hours.

Writing – Write a recount of what you have been up to this week.  You should make a plan in your jotter to help you think about it and to make sure you remember all of the details.  You could ask people in your house what they remember from this week.

Remember to include:

  • Title (that tells the reader what the piece is about)
  • Orientation at the beginning – who, what, when, where, why
  • Sequence of events describing WHAT happened
  • Time words like then, next, after that, firstly, finally, at last
  • Personal Comment at the end to describe your feelings

Maths – Practice your 6 times table.  Recite it (say it out loud) at least 8 times.  You may also want to write it down on a whiteboard or scrap paper.  Ask an adult to quiz you and try not to look at the answers!

Lastly, start a timer and complete the worksheet as fast as you can.  How long did it take you? Do you remember your 6 times table much better now?  Please turn in a document telling me how long the worksheet took you and whether you feel more confident in your 6 times table now.

6 times table practice

If you get finished quite quickly you could challenge yourself on sumdog,

PE – check out the “Fitness Monopoly” activity that Mrs McAlpine has put on the blog.  If you don’t have enough space or it’s not safe for you to do PE in your house you can also check out storytime with David Walliams online.  It’s called Elevenses and it is every day at 11 o’clock.  Here is the link: https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

Make sure you have an adult’s permission to do PE.  We want you to be safe!

Music

A Scottish music teacher (not Mrs Lang) has uploaded some lessons to Youtube.  Watch lessons one and two and join in with the body percussion.

If you can find the things you need in your house, here is a list of fun musical crafts that you can try (with help from an adult). This is an optional activity but I know some of you will enjoy it.

Words of reassurance re home learning

Dear parents and children,
These are challenging times and although we are trying to keep routines in place, please don’t feel that you have to stick exactly to the school timetables that are in Teams or supplied by teachers.  We just want your children to be safe and as happy as possible during this time and we know that can mean something different for everyone.  Learning takes lots of forms and doesn’t always require pencils and jotters.  Please feel free to do other things during the day with no worry that it has to be the tasks we have assigned.  If you want to bake cakes etc then please do so. Those on TEAMs just try and drop in every now and then to say hello.  But, it’s also fine for children to be online working/chatting with their class following the timetable every day- just do what is best for you.
The TEAMs are very busy just now and there are still glitches due to the amount of people trying to access it – please don’t stress about this.  Please! Hopefully it will be resolved soon.
Best wishes
OLOL team
