P1 Mrs Currie Daily Update 27.03.20

Good morning everyone and happy Friday.  I can see some of you have even been on Sumdog already this morning, well done to those early risers!

Today is all about self-assessing; how have you got on with your learning this week?

Each week we will use a different method of self assessing.  This week we are using The Fist Of Five to assess our learning (five fingers mean you have fully understood your task and feel confident with the skill, four fingers means you are nearly there perhaps just a little more practise needed, three fingers you needed some support but then were able to do it, two fingers you needed support to do most of it, one finger you needed support and would still need support in the future with this type of task)

You can either show your score to someone at home or if you have recorded work in your jotter, draw a circle and put little lines coming out of it to represent your fingers.

Home Learning Grid

The IDL challenge this week was to match the names with their links to Livingston, here are your answers.

People From The Past

*Sir Walter Scott – The street names in Dedridge named after the characters and places in his books.

*James Young – A High School named after them.

*Saint Margaret – A High School named after them

*Saint John – A Hospital named after him.

Literacy

How did you get on with your story? Using tickled pink, highlight the conjunctions you used (and, because). Also find any describing words (adjectives) and tickle pink those too.  If you used a capital letter and a full stop at the start and end of your sentence draw a pink circle around them.  Using green for growth ask an adult to underline only two words that you have spelled incorrectly, and then underneath write the two words correctly three times each.

Numeracy

Don’t forget that the Sumdog challenge is still live until 3pm today, it’s not too late to earn all your coins.

Here are your answers for the numeracy questions;

3 + 4 = 7	7 – 2= 5	10 – 3=7	6 + 3= 9	4 + 4= 8	6 – 1= 5	8 – 8 =0
5 – 3 = 2	5+5 =10	7 + 0 =7	9 – 0 =9	10 – 8=2	7 + 1 =8	5 + 3 =8

Or these calculations are a bit more challenging:

13+4=17	17–2=15	20–3=17	6+13=19	4+14=18	16–1=15	18–8=10
15–3=12	5+15=20	17+0=17	19–0=19	20–8=12	17+1=18	15+3=18

When completing your number talks for the ten frame or the rekenrek did you use any of these strategies?

• Counting in ones
• Five wise (seeing a pattern of five) and counting on
• Counting in twos

For the number talks dot pattern did you use any of these strategies?

• See a dice pattern
• Count in ones
• Count in twos

Well done everyone who completed some of these tasks this week, also remember the importance of play and the life skills you can develop from helping out around the house.
