Good morning everyone.  Please find below some ideas/activities to support your weekly grid learning.  I have also copied the link for the weekly grid again here to save you from having to scroll down to find the first post from Monday.

I am about to do PE with Joe Wicks at 9:00. How many of you are starting your day in the same way?

Learning Grid Week 1

Home Learning Grid

How are you getting on with your fact file for your Global Goals section of the grid?

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

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

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).

Numeracy

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,

Miss Lydon

Good morning everyone,

We hope you are all well and managing to work from home. It has been busy here at St Ninian’s PS as we are opening for children whose parents are key workers and providing free school meals to those who need it.

It has been great to hear about how your learning is going at home via the blog, Teams and Twitter. We are all very proud of you, it is great to see how you are all showing resilience and supporting one another in your classes and families.

Remember to take time to have fun as a family and make special memories.

Mrs Smith and I will be posting daily and your teachers are all very busy responding to your emails and Teams files.

Have a good day everyone, and we will keep in contact!

Mrs Smith and Mrs Roy

 

Numeracy

How are you getting on with thinking of 3 different ways to solve our Number Talks? Try to explain your 3 different ways of solving these to someone at home. If you want a challenge, try creating your own Number Talks by drawing a dot pattern and see if you can come up with 3 different strategies for solving it.

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

Take a look at the blog post titled ‘Spelling Support Advice’ from Mrs Docherty and try out making up some of your own mnemonics for tricky words. Feel free to post some of your ideas as a comment on our weekly learning blog post.

Home Learning Grid

Have any of you tried to build a den at home? Make a list of the resources you used.
