Good Morning Primary 6, how are you all?  I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and spent some quality time with your families.  It’s such a beautiful morning so maybe you can get out to your garden for some fresh air or go for a short walk.

Here is your HWB lesson for this week:

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?  Write a letter to thank the doctors and nurses?

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!   You choose whatever method is easiest for you and also a time that is suitable to you!

I know what a kind bunch you are so I am looking forward to hearing your ideas.  Have a great day!

Mrs Barker

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.

Moons:  Waist Waste Cent Scent Through Threw Pour pore

Stars: To Too two here hear flower flour right  write

CLIC – We are still using Term 3 week 5. There is a powerpoint that you can work through in files or you can answer the questions on the document called CLIC week starting 30.3.20.

BREAK

LITERACY  – Short Read – using the description from Matilda last Monday please draw images of the two characters.

The Trunchbull stood motionless on the platform. Her great horsy face had turned the colour of molten ______  and her eyes were glittering with ________ . She glared at _________  Bogtrotter; who was sitting on his ________  like some huge overstuffed grub, replete, comatose, unable to move or to speak. A fine sweat was beading his _____________ but there was a grin of triumph on his ________.

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.

The _______ was by now so full of cake he was like a sack full of wet cement and you couldn’t have hurt ______  with a sledge-hammer. He simply shook his _________  a few times and went on grinning.

Plan for Writing: This week our story will be about The Easter Egg. Please plan your story in your jotter and we will use this on Wednesday to create our Narrative piece of writing.

Title: ?

Orientation: Who, where, when…

Complication: Problem

Resolution: solve the problem.

Health and Wellbeing: Mrs Barker has her own channel for this – if you are using Teams please check on the left hand side of the computer screen.

LUNCH:

Maths: Please try the powerpoint 2nd Level  Decimals ÷10 x10 in Maths files.  Try to answer by yourself and them the answers will come up at the end.

Then there is a work sheet in files called multiplying by 10, 100 and 1,00. Please to not write on the document in files as it may change the answers for other children.  Here are the questions in case you cannot access files.

Topic: Please start to gather information about the VE Day Celebrations at the end of WW2. You might want to think about how you will present these findings later on in the week.

In the morning P6 had a visit from AnneMarie Allan, the author of our class novel, Charlie’s Promise.

We were able to ask many questions about the book and the author’s past. We found out that the story was set in a real place and that some characters were based on her family.

We also had a visit from our Tiny Teacher . We can’t believe how much he has grown since we first met him near the start of this year.

Primary 6 have helped each other to improve their still life drawing skills with kind, specific and helpful feedback. With help from friends we were able to add more detail, texture and shading.

Mrs Gardner was so proud of our final results. Now no child in P6 is allowed to say I can’t draw, as the work was so impressive.
