P4B AM Wednesday 29th April

Good Morning P4!

Here are some tasks for you to work through this morning:

Handwriting

Using cursive writing, write 3 sentences about:

  1. Something I have enjoyed learning about this week and why?
  2. Something I have enjoyed doing other than learning this week and why?
  3. How I have been feeling this week and why?

For those of you who have been working on your formation of letters, take 2 letters each day to practice.

Letter Formation

Literacy

Today, we are going to think about Onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia are words that sound like the sounds it makes, for example whoosh.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z4mmn39/articles/z8t3g82

Thinking about things you find in your house, use onomatopoeia to describe what they sound like. I have attached a worksheet to help, but can you come up with anymore? Try and come up with a few different onomatopoeia’s for each one. We will be using these for tomorrow’s writing task, so keep them safe.

Onomatopoeia Worksheets

Maths

Today, let’s think about making the same amount but using different combinations of coins and notes. Can you come up with 5 different ways for each amount.

Coin combinations HOT Coin combinations MILD Coin combinations SPICE

I look forward to seeing your work on your Personal Learning Blogs. Remember to look back on pieces of work carried out previously as myself and Mrs Valente may have left you a comment.

Primary 6B Morning Tasks 29-04-20

Good morning and I hope you are ready for another day of learning! We are going to do some imaginative writing and maths today.

Imaginative Writing 

You are going to write an imaginative story entitled “The Mystery Door!” Look at the PowerPoint below, which will hopefully give you some ideas  how to start your writing. It is entirely up to you what happens in your story, but remember to have a clear structure, lots of detail, accurate punctuation and try to use vocabulary which creates suspense! It is helpful if you can type your stories as they are easier to read. I can’t wait to read your completed work on your learning profiles!

Numeracy  The number of the day is 807 547 !

We are going to develop our multiplication skills and use the grid method to work out calculations. Look at the PowerPoint provided and they will remind you how to do this. Next choose a mild, spicy or hot worksheet to complete. You can either print the worksheets or copy the grids neatly into your home learning journal. Remember to continue to be independent learners and check your calculations when the answers are posted on the blog in the afternoon!

Have a super morning Primary 6!

Mrs Lea

Primary 7 Wednesday 28th April AM

Good morning P7, it’s Wednesday already!

Today’s Literacy Work:

We are going to be looking at creating a piece of persuasive writing. Before you start your main task have a look through the clip below to give yourself a quick refresh about what persuasive writing is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD9arWXIddM

We all know how important it is to get a good night’s sleep, however sometimes we do not sleep as much as we should. Imagine a new law was being considered where anyone under the age of 13 had to be in bed by no later than 8 o’clock every night – this is what you are going to write about. It is up to you to create a persuasive text, imagining that you are writing this as a letter to the Scottish Government. It is entirely up to you which side you take – are you persuading them to go ahead with this as you think sleep is essential or are you against it as you believe the adults at home should choose when you go to bed.

Below are a few links to articles about the importance of sleep, you may want to read these and take a few notes before deciding which side of the fence you are on.

https://kidshealth.org/en/kids/not-tired.html#catguys – Facts for kids about why sleep is important

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d12jK4Cl0SY – 7 mins video positives of no screen time before bed

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6rx8ko  –  30 mins Panorama episode about under 14s not getting enough

The PowerPoint below will give you an idea of what kind of language to use in a persuasive text and the Super Sentence Starters will give you an idea of how to start your idea off. There is also a persuasive writing frame that will give you an idea of how to lay out each section of you letter.

Patterns Mild Wednesday

Remember to post your work to your Personal Learning Blogs, we look forward to seeing your excellent work.
