 Kindness is one of our school values and we are always thinking of different ways to be kind.  Read this article and discuss it with someone at home.

What did you think of what this shop did?

Who was benefiting the most?

Why did the shopkeepers decide to do this?

Think about things that you could do at home to spread kindness.  Could you make a picture for an elderly neighbour?  Offer to help Mum set the table?  Help a younger brother/sister with their school work?

Share your random acts of kindness with me on the class notebook setting on Teams, write it in your jotters, post it on our HWB channel or you can even send me a photo of what you write!

Have a great day!

Primary 6 30.3.20

Hi Primary 6, I hope you are all well.

It has been a strange weekend because I am not used to staying indoors especially when it is so beautiful and sunny. I hope you have all managed to find things to keep you busy.

Here is our work for Monday. Please just do what you can when you can and stay safe!

PE with Joe. Please try to join us as this is an excellent way to be positive and feel good. (I even did some of the repeats at the weekend).

Spelling words:  Please try to remember these common homophones (words that sound the same but are written differently). Then write each word in a sentence showing that you know the meaning. This can be in a jotter or on the computer.

Suddenly the Trunchbull lunged forward and grabbed the _________ empty china platter on which the  _________ had rested. She raised it high in the air and brought it down with a crash right on _______ of the wretched Bruce Bogtrotter’s head and pieces flew all over the platform.

Friday 27.03.2020

Good Morning Primary 5. I hope you are having a good week and are staying safe at home. Here are Friday’s lessons.

Please do what you can boys and girls. There is no expectation to complete all tasks or to ‘hand them in’ on Microsoft Teams.  Work can be completed in jotters, on paper or class notebook so don’t worry if you are unable to print the sheets.

Mathematics

Our second lesson of the day is maths / numeracy

Big Maths – ‘Beat That’

Type your answers into the boxes on the word document. Try and time yourself, if you can, to see how quickly you can answer the questions! If you would prefer you can use your jotter / paper and ask an adult at home to check your answers.

You can also access your Friday ‘Beat That’ below.

Learn It’s 27.03.2020

Health and Wellbeing

Our third lesson of the day is health and wellbeing.

The Leader in Me – The 7 Habits

At school we would normally have an assembly before break time on a Friday. If you have one of the ‘Leader In Me’ workbooks provided please complete a task relating to one of the habits we have already covered. If you were not able to get one of these workbooks please write down ways in which you can follow the habits we have already covered while you are doing your home learning.

The habits we have covered so far:

Be Proactive

Begin with the end in mind

Put first things first

Spelling

Our fourth lesson of the day is spelling.

Practise your spelling words in any way you like.

You can practise them using a spelling task such as rainbow writing or pyramid words or you can play games on www.spellingtraining.com.

If possible, after you have practised them, can you ask an adult to test you on your spelling words? This could be done verbally or by writing them down.

The spelling lists can be found below.

Spelling Words Week beginning 23.03.2020

Activity Time Challenge

It’s time to play but first there is a challenge! Can you create your own board game which you can play with someone at home? Be creative! Here are some things to think about:

What are you going to use as the ‘board’ for your game?

E.g. cardboard / paper / blank jotter

What shape are you going to make your board?

Circle / rectangle / square / another shape?

How many spaces are you going to have? Which direction do you go in? Can you only go one way or lots of ways?

What happens when you land on certain spaces in your game? Do you miss turns or get asked a question? You could include maths and spelling questions. What happens when someone gets a question right / wrong?

How do you win the game? What is your game called? What could you use for counters?

It’s up to you how to play and make your game. You may wish to use items you can find at home. Always ask an adult’s permission first. Remember it could be as simple as drawing out your board game on a piece of paper.

You may also wish to write out instructions to explain to others how to play.

We hope you have a good weekend. We’ll be back on Microsoft teams on Monday. Take care everyone.
