Here is this week’s learning grid.
Monday 30th March
Monday morning – everyone’s favourite time of the week! I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and you and your new teachers enjoyed a well earned rest!
Here are your intended learning and activities for maths and literacy for today. Keep trying your best!
Maths
On Friday, you used number lines to calculate change from either £1, £2, £5 or £10. Today, we’re going to continue practising this skill whilst also using coins to give an exact amount. There are a few activities to choose from today.
Option 1
If you have a device, go onto the Topmarks website and click on the Toy Shop Money Game.
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/money/toy-shop-money
Once on the game, you can make it easier or more difficult depending on how confident you are feeling. I would recommend that you all try using mixed coins to give change from either £1, £5 or £10. Use your whiteboards to help you calculate the change before choosing the coins!
Option 2
If you don’t have access to a device or you’ve already spent quite a lot of time on a device, you can use your answers to Friday’s activity and draw the coins you could use to make each amount.
Option 3
Alternatively, you can practise these skills by completing textbook page 59. You all have a textbook in your home learning packs. Sorry Primary 4 but absolutely no calculators to be used – you don’t need calculators when you are so good at using number lines!
Literacy
Let’s practice spelling today! This week’s spelling pattern is ‘oa’ in the yellow box. There are a few activities you can do to help you learn this spelling pattern:
1. Dot and dash the sounds in the words.
2. Use Lego (or sweets – look at Ms Fraser’s tweet for inspiration) to build each word.
3. Write sentences which include your spelling words. Challenge yourself to include some ambitious vocabulary and maybe even an adverb (silently, excitedly etc).
4. Create an activity of your own.
I hope you all have a great Monday!

Good morning everyone. I hope you had a lovely weekend.
Have a look at the “things to work on at home” post on the website. It will give you an idea of some activities and task you could try at home this week.
The spelling sound for this week is “ea”. Watch out for Miss Fraser’s spelling challenge which will be coming tomorrow!
And if you want to find out what the 6 ingredients of my tray bake were then check out my recipe on the website 🙂

P6 Home Learning
Hoping everyone is managing to stay well and enjoying spending more time with their families. Would love to see more work shared on Twitter or messages supporting each other through this difficult time. It is very hard planning your work when I am unsure how you are managing or if you need support with something please do let us know by sending messages to admin@roseburn.edin.sch.uk. I am attaching the answers for the fraction work and a plan for Week 2 activities. Hope this helps. Best wishes everyone…. Miss Gardner
Friday 27th March
Good morning P4/5! Last week we spent some of our maths lessons practising our times stables, and applying these to help multiply 2 and 3 digit numbers together using written and mental strategies.
We have looked at ways for learning your tables quickly (for example, using the 2x table to work out the 4x and 8x tables). Can you remember what these rules and patterns are, and could you explain them to someone at home?
The website timestables.co.uk is a great resource for practising your times tables. Use it to help learn tables you still find a bit tricky, and work on being able to recall multiplication facts with speed and accuracy.
If you feel confident with all your tables, then you can practice multiplying larger numbers using the questions below:

You can also use the Math Aids website to set your own questions for extra practice.
Remember you can share your work with the school twitter… @roseburnPS
Have a great day!
Mr Carson
