Tasks

Writing – It’s spring time now.  There are lambs in the fields, baby birds are tweeting, flowers are blooming and the leaves are returning to the trees (not to mention, it’s getting a bit warmer!).  In Japan, people have big festivals to celebrate the blooming of the cherry trees in the spring (they call cherry blossom ‘sakura’).  Everyone flocks to parks and outdoor areas to sit under the blossom with friends.  Cherry blossom and spring are, as you can see, very important to Japanese culture.  The Japanese also have a rich and very old culture of writing poetry.  One kind of poem is a Haiku poem.  This poem doesn’t have to rhyme but it does need to have a certain number of syllables.

It has 17 syllables altogether.

5 in the first line

7 in the second line

5 in the third line

Research some haiku poems online to get a feel for them.  These poems are usually about the way things look, feel and sound and how the writer feels.  Here is one I wrote:

Flowers bloom brightly

The blue sky is clear and warm

I watch through windows

I wrote this when I was thinking about how lucky we are to have nice weather over Easter holidays and how nice the flowers in my garden are looking, but I was also thinking that I wished I could go outside to country parks and other places to enjoy the spring but instead I am stuck inside.  I hope you can see that what makes Haiku poems special is that even though they are very short, they convey a message which is important to the writer.

Write a few of these Haikus, read them to your family, ask for feedback, and then post your favourite one on the General channel (this is the only time you can post there!) so that we can all share our work.

Maths – mixed and improper fractions.  This is quite simple when you know what to do – I will explain at the morning meeting.  Do them in your maths jotter as usual. Mixed and improper fractions (1)

You may find this video useful for understanding improper fractions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEmCZGbd4R8

Music – To be confirmed by Mrs Lang (meeting on teams at 2pm)

RE – Road to Emmaus crossword.  If you can’t print this then just write down the clue numbers on a piece of paper/ jotter and instead of writing the clue, write the answer. https://sermons4kids.com/road_to_emmaus_crossword.htm

Literacy

• Spelling – diacritical marking (all 10 spelling words)
• Grammar – were, where and we’re Where were and we are homophones excercise
• Reading – read a book on Epic for half an hour. I now can log in and see who has read which books and for how long.  If you can’t access epic you can read a real book.

Maths – Equivalent fractions worksheet.  Copy into your jotter and fill in the missing number. Miss McIntosh will explain this in the morning meeting.  We can have an additional meeting if people are still stuck.  equivalent_fraction_problems (1)

Health and wellbeing – https://www.leaderinme.com/resources/the-power-of-habit

Watch the presentation.  What does “habit” mean? Write down 3 of your good habits and 2 habits that you would like to change. If you can, do this in assignments so that I know you understand what ‘habit’ means.

Art – Make a zentangle.  This is a very relaxing thing to do and it helps some people to be mindful.  The idea is to make the patterns as small and detailed as possible.  Start by drawing a simple line drawing.  It could be a sunset, an animal, waves, a landscape – anything you can imagine! Then fill up the different areas of your picture with tiny patterns.  Once you have filled them all you can colour in the different areas.  I will post pictures and videos on the team to give you some ideas for zentangles that have been made by other people.

Good morning Primary 4. Welcome to Wednesday! Here is today’s learning and I hope you enjoy it. Remember to do the learning in a way that suits you and your family and please remember to take breaks and get somefresh air. Going outside is so important. Have a great day!

Young people of all ages can join Jupiter Artland in Minecraft using their Minecraft log-ins and design and build their own sculpture for Jupiter Artland. The winning design will join the permanent collection at Jupiter’s online universe plus goodies including a free family-visit to Jupiter when we reopen later this year.

Anyone with Minecraft Java Edition can enter Jupiter Artland, explore artworks by world-leading artists and have a go at building their own monumental sculptures. It’s so easy, even Claire from our Exhibitions team is able to do it!

Tasks for Tuesday 21 April 2020

Literacy

• Write sentences including at least 6 of your spelling words. Try to use the trickiest words and if you don’t know what they mean then look it up using a dictionary or the internet.
• Write a story about what you did on your Easter holidays. This is technically a recount piece of writing so you should have an orientation, time words and explain how you felt.  You can also draw a picture to illustrate you story. I am learning to recount recent personal events including an orientation, sequence of events and personal comment.

Maths – Sumdog.  Before the holidays Mrs McAlpine set some challenges on sumdog.  Spend some time (30-40 minutes) on sumdog and smash that challenge!

Physical Education – Joe Wickes, Mrs McAlpine’s blog activities or just go outside and exercise or meditate in the lovely weather – let me know what you get up to! In school we usually spend 45 minutes on our PE.

French – Log on to www.linguascope.com

RE – Fill in the blanks activity.  It will take a lot less time if you edit an online copy instead of copying the whole thing into your jotter!  You will need a bible.  You can use a real bible or use bible gateway here: https://www.biblegateway.com/versions/New-International-Version-NIV-Bible/
