Tomorrow’s virtual assembly!

Good morning all!

Just to let you know that tomorrow Ms MacRae will be doing an online virtual assembly on ‘teams’. Now we haven’t been using ‘teams’ (P1-3) but if you have an older sibling you could join in with them!

Alternatively, you will be able to view the assembly presentation on the blog, later in the day!

 

Thursday 21st May P3 Home Learning

Good morning P3! Today we are carrying on with our money theme!

  1. Reading:

Listen to the Max and Ruby story, Bunny Money. Listen carefully to how much money they have and how much they spend. ($1 or one dollar = £1 or one pound). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcVaypXBEqg

Listen to the story again and make a note of everything Max and Ruby buy.

How much do they spend?

What interesting sayings about money did you hear in this book?

You can tell someone your answers, write them in your jotter or on a piece of paper.

2. Writing:

Max and Ruby were saving their money to buy a special gift for their Grandma. Are you saving for anything special at the moment? Tell me about it by writing a personal piece of writing. You can tell someone, write a story in your jotter or on a piece of paper.

* As an extra can you draw in detail the item(s) you are saving for?

Below is an example for you to give you an idea.

Tuesday 19th May P3 Home Learning

Good morning! So the theme this week is…..MONEY!

Numeracy

1).Make sure you recognise all the coins and notes here. Ask an adult for each coin/note. If they don’t have them all you can draw your own and cut them out.

2) Order your coins from smallest to largest. It is important to know the value of your coins! Play the order and sorting game here. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/money/coins-game

3) Now I’d like you to make your own little pretend shop or café at home! Choose some items for your shop/café and put prices on them. Remember…

– There are 100 pennies in a pound.

-You write p if it is less than one pound and you use the £ sign when it is more (never use both the £ and p sign).

– Write the pounds first, the dot, then the pennies (e.g. £1.10 = 1 pound and 10 pence)

Choose from the chilli challenge for your pricing (you will be adding/finding change from these items later in the week) …

MILD: Mark all prices up to £1.

Spicy: Mark all prices up to £5 but keep the pennies in tens (e.g. £1.10, £2.30, £4.40)

Hot: Mark prices up to £10 and ensuring you have tens and ones in the pennies (e.g. £1.15, £2.25)

4) Choose one item from your shop/café- how many combinations of coins can you use to pay for it? Remember to use coins that exist! You can’t have a 3p coin but you can have a 2p and 1p!

 

Literacy

5) Design your own price list or Menu for your pretend café/ shop.

Remember to give Proper Nouns capital letters e.g. ‘pen’ doesn’t need a capital letter as it’s a common noun but ‘Crayola pen’ does because it’s a specific type/brand.
