P6 TEAMS

Hello P6.

By now, some of you will have received your school e-mail address and password.   This will allow you to access Microsoft TEAMS on a PC/laptop, tablet or smartphone.   We will be using TEAMS as a platform to communicate with each other and to set work for the week. We hope it will be a place where we can interact more and support one another.

Once you have logged into TEAMS, please check-in with us on the “check-in” channel. In the other channels you will find more information on how we will be using TEAMS. It is important that you read this.  We will also be setting assignments for you to complete and we will then be able to give you feedback on your work.

If you have not already done so, please sign the ICT Contract agreement. A reminder e-mail has been sent to those who have not signed it.

We look forward to working with you on TEAMS. Any problems, please contact us via admin.

Tuesday 5 May – P3

Good morning P3!

As it is a short week there are some changes with home learning this week.          Everyone is going to be working on the the same theme – Water.  That is very lucky for P3’s because we are learning about water experiments this term!  I wonder which activities you will choose from the grid?

If you are looking for some other things to do then why not try some of these:

  1. Drop a single drop of food colouring into a glass of water. Don’t stir or shake. Just watch what happens. (It’s called diffusion.)
  2. Use a medicine/eye dropper to drop water onto a coin, one drop at a time. How many drops will the penny hold before the water spills? (The answer may surprise you!)
  3. Try the same water experiments as No 2 with water that has a little detergent in it.  Did you notice anything different?
  4. Try the same thing again comparing the heads and tails sides of the coin.  What happened?
  5. A lump of clay. Can you change its shape to make it float?

There will be no new spelling words this week but I have still posted the “Guess my ingredients” challenge so I hope lots of you will have a go at that.

Water Writing Task

Unfortunately the picture is not the clearest and we have uploaded again here. It is a picture of an adult bathing a child he is holding a sponge and the boy is swinging on the shower curtain holding a sword. The children can create their own ideas. Did something come out the plug hole? Is he Peter Pan fighting the pirates? Let your imagination go wild. It doesn’t matter if they want something else in their story it is the stimulus for a piece of writing.

Friday 1 May – P3

698C17D2-D412-4272-A0E7-91E02D226C5EGood morning P3!

Thanks to everyone who took part in the “ guess my ingredients” challenge this week. The 8 ingredients in my savoury muffins were flour, baking powder, butter, milk, bacon, egg, parsley and cheese. Lots of you managed to correctly guess some of the ingredients and it was great to see/ hear that some of you had been making something similar at home! If you would like to see my recipe you find it under a separate post on P3 page.

If you are looking for something to do today then why not try some handwriting.        Last week I used an Ipad to do the handwriting but it didn’t work very well so this week I am trying a whiteboard. ( you see, teachers are learning lots during lock down too!) Even though the whiteboard is not in very good condition, I think the writing looks better and is hopefully easier for you to see but let me know what you think.

Have a great weekend,

Miss Fraser 🙂
