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.

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.

Good morning everyone.  It is a bit misty this morning but that won’t dampen our spirits.  Here are some suggestions to compliment your weekly learning grid.  Have fun.

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.

Have you managed to play a board game with your family yet.  I’d love to hear what game you played and who won, you can post a comment below.  I played Cluedo with my family last night and I WON!

Literacy

Find the website ‘teach your monster to read’. There is also an app for this resource which needs to be paid for but the full resource is free from the website. Create your account as a parent and then add your child onto this account. Your child can then customise their own monster. When asked to select which stage/level to begin with either select the ‘fun with words’ section for those children who are more confident readers or the recommended first section if you would like your child to refresh their learning of some initial sounds e.g. s, p, t etc.

 

Numeracy

Log onto Sumdog, I have set you a challenge to extend your money skills.

I can’t wait to log in and see some of your success, good luck.

Have a lovely day,

Let’s use our creativity skills to create and verbally narrate an imaginative story. Your story must have a beginning, middle and an end. You can plan your story using drawings or notes. Use puppets, teddies, drawings or toys to narrate your story and you can even showcase your story to someone at home.

Numeracy

For further extension of partitioning try this game and you can decide which level you would like to do:

http://www.ictgames.com/sharkNumbers/mobile/index.html

If you think you are doing really well with partitioning a number then start to explore how you can use partitioning to help you answer addition calculations like these; you can also make up some of your own.

  1. 26 + 43 =
  2. 44 + 52 =
  3. 65 + 32 =

I know not everyone was able to receive their home learning jotter from school before the closure so please find an attachment of the P1 key words that we have been working on this session.  For those who were given their home learning jotter you will find a copy of these in your jotter already. (I have also included a copy of the P2 words as well to support those who would like additional challenge)

When learning to write and spell these words try using the strategy of Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check.

I would love to hear what animal you have chosen to research and write about.

Let’s use our art skills to help us understand more about the importance of the front cover on a book.  The front cover contains a lot of information; title, author, illustrator, publisher and a picture that helps you know what the book might be about.

Look at the front cover of a book and see if you can find this information.

Either, copy the front cover of the book as it is OR you can create your own front cover for the book (remembering to include all the relevant information).

In our learning grid this week we are practising partitioning, the following activity is designed to consolidate and extend this skill.  Copy and paste this link into your search engine for the BBC Bitesize website.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z69k7ty/articles/zyk8pbk

The video gives an explanation of how to partition numbers (even big numbers that have hundreds tens and units).

On this website there are two levels of quiz for you to try.

Keep in touch and keep safe,
