Primary 3/4 Blog Week Ending 7.12.17

 

Dear All

This week in literacy we did the ‘ou’ exception sounds. We talked about our achievements at show and tell. We read in our groups and had personal reading time. Mrs McAlpine read us the ‘Lost Prince’, one of our Hamish McHaggis books. We listened to Mrs McAlpine reading out words and sentences and we tried to write them out with correct spelling and punctuation. We learned plurals and that words ending in ch, sh, x or s need an ‘es’ at the end if there is more than one. We added adjectives to our sentences and underlined them in blue.

In numeracy we were learning about money and how to give change. We went shopping in the classroom and bought your crackers! Don’t worry we used fake money and your crackers are still there! We split into 2 groups and used 2 balls to learn our times tables. We used the netbooks to practise budgeting on Sumdog.

In health and wellbeing we enjoyed Scottish Dancing and danced the ‘Grand Old Duke of York’, the Canadian Barn Dance. We also played bench ball in PE.

In learning across the curriculum we made our crackers for enterprise to sell at the Christmas Fayre. They look gorgeous and they will make a loud bang! We also went to see the Nativity performance, it was amazing!

Hope you have a good weekend!

Hi

Please  find attached reading and spelling home learning for this week. Please try to let youtr child go on sumdog to do budgeting and money.

Reading Comprehension

How to play charades – follow instructions. Please help your child if they find the reading difficult but try to let them think about following the instructions and why it is important to do things in a certain order. If you are really busy with the Christmas period and find it difficult to complete please talk about a familiar situation and why the order is important and put a note in jotter to say that you discussed following instructions.

Spelling 

Your child should have written out their spelling words in their jotters. If they have time they can do a spelling wise. Otherwise please concentrate on the reading comprehension.

Numeracy

Numeracy is budgeting and money in preparation for the Christmas Fayre. In last week’s home learning most  children could count up the items but forgot to take change away from their budget. Some children used their total of the items as their budget. I explained to them that in a real situation it was unlikely that the budget would be exact or that people would bring the correct change. Please let them practice on sumdog or with real money. The crackers are priced at £1.50 so you could maybe practise how much ot would cost altogether and change from their budget. If you have any concerns about paying for the crackers please let me know confidentially by letter especially if you have a large family.

Apologies for home learning being sent out late. I will extend handing in day till Monday.

Have a good week.

Kind Regards

Louise

Please find attached homework for week beginning 27.11.17.

Reading
Pages in group reading quoted in reading record

Spelling
-ft, -lp, -lt and -amp sounds from attached sheet and a spelling task.

Numeracy
Mr Fryer, a parent who works in a bank came into school last week to talk to the children about budgeting. The class learned about buying things they really needed, saving money and things they just wanted but didn’t need. The home learning is to reinforce what they can afford to spend their money on. The activity is for a fruit and veg shop. They have to decide on a budget first e.g. 50p, £1, £2, £5 then buy goods ensuring they stay within their budget. They only need to add 2 or 3 items. You may need to support them with the pounds and pence signs.

Christmas Fayre
We will be making items for the Christmas Fayre next week. Please let your child know how many crackers you need and if you have a preference for the colour and I will try to accommodate. We will be pricing them with our budgeting lessons but will probably cost between £1 and £2 each. The plan is to try to make enough for a family unit so approximately 3 to 6 crackers per child.

Extra Homework task if you have time

Can all children make a decoration at home to hang on our school Xmas tree? We are also decorating a tree in St Michael’s Church on behalf of Springfield.

Have a lovely weekend!
