Good morning P3, I hope you are enjoying completing some of the activities from the home learning grid. I’ve included the attachment of the grid again here to give you easy access.
Home Learning Grid
How are you getting on building your own Viking Longboat from junk materials or construction toys such as building bricks? We are loving seeing the pictures of Longboats that you have uploaded to OneNote already – the creativity is wonderful!
Once you’ve built your boat, perhaps you could check if it will float. Think about:
- does your Viking Longboat meet the design criteria with a a square sail, a figurehead and oars?
- does your boat float or sink?
- how could you improve your design?
If you are having any difficulty with any of the home learning activities please remember to ask your question in the comments section below. We will try to answer your question as soon as we are able to.
Literacy
Today’s challenge is to complete the P3 Spelling Challenge on Sumdog. The challenge will help you to learn the weekly spelling words for your group. Your Sumdog login details are in your home learning jotter. We love to see your progress on Sumdog!
Maths
Today’s maths task is to try this First Level number talk, from the FVWL RIC Numeracy Academy (they post a new number talk on Twitter every day). Remember – number talks are all about how you solve a task, mentally. For this task, you don’t need to use anything to help you, just use your brain.
Look at each number sentence and share the strategy you use to get each answer. Did you use the same strategy each time? You can share your strategies with someone at home. Did they work it out the same way as you? Share your learning on the blog in the comments box below.
4 + 8 + 2 + 6
1 + 9 + 2 + 8
5 + 3 + 7 + 5
I’m going to start my day with the Joe Wicks workout – what are you going to do first? Have a lovely day and let us know how you are getting on with your learning.
Take care,
from Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan
Well done Primary 3! I’m so impressed with your work on OneNote and on Sumdog today. Remember that the spelling challenge and the subtraction challenge both run until Friday. Have a good evening.
