I hope you are all safe, happy and working hard on your home learning. I have been enjoying looking at all the posts on your learning journals. It’s wonderful to see all your smiling faces and the excellent work you have been producing at home.
Here is the link to your home learning tasks for today:
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.
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.
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.
We continue with number patterns and sequences. Choice of Mild, Spicy and Hot today but if you do Mild today you need to at least try Spicy as well, we need to be pushing ourselves a bit with the move to high school not too far away! Lots of challenge in Hot today with 4 pages of work!!!
If you are looking for other ways to keep active throughout the day you can also have a look at the document below which is full of fun links to stay active.
The maths task this morning is multiplication again but this time we’re going to look at using the grid method to solve our questions. Have a look at the powerpoint presentation then try the task.
Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a good sleep and are ready for your day ahead. Did you enjoy listening to the story I read yesterday called ‘Eat Your Peas’? Here are your morning tasks:
I hope you have learned a lot from your morning tasks!
In the afternoon, we are going to work on RE and Drama.
For RE, our learning will be on the 10 Commandments.
You will start by watching a video on the 10 Commandments:
After watching this video , create a posterwith the 3 Commandments you have chosen as the most important ones.
Instructions:
1 – Write those 3 Commandments down neatly.
2-Illustrate the Commandments according to what they say.
3- Make your poster colourful and appealing in a way that it will catch people’s attention.
4- Answer to questions from your family about the Commandments you have chosen.
5- Post your poster on your blog and let me know when you have done it!
Don’t forget to follow instructions and to read everything carefully before you start watching!
For Drama, your challenge today is to improvise. Improvising means being able to create and perform (music, drama, or verse) spontaneously or without preparation.
Today, you will have 2 sets of improvisation cards and you will need to be able to continue what is being said in each of the cards! I hope it’s going to be lots of fun!
