Good morning P3! Did I manage to trick you with my fruit pastilles spelling challenge yesterday? I certainly managed to trick Ms Gardner….she forgot to look for clues on the P3 spelling word list.
If you want to see if you got it right then here is a photo of the words I chose:
Good morning everyone!
I hope that your learning packs and website updates are helping you to continue your learning at home. Most importantly though, I hope you are all well and are making time to relax, have fun and help out around the house!
Here is some intended learning for today and some tasks to support your learning.
Numeracy
You must all now be amazing at adding numbers after all the practice this week! Today, let’s practise adding different amounts of money. We learned this skill before Christmas! You may remember us adding together how much Molly, Walton and Spider Lady’s Christmas presents would cost me!
Here is an example:
£1.46 + £3.73
If this is too tricky, begin by just adding pennies together and using a number line to help you. For example, 36p + 43p. If you’re up for a challenge, why not add larger amounts of money together or add more than two amounts together?
I’ve attached some items I would quite like to buy at the shops just now! Try adding two of the costs together.
Literacy
Yesterday, I suggested planning a scene for a play script. Today’s task is to write the scene! We have been working on play scripts in class and we agreed on the things a play script needs to be successful.
These included:
– A description of the setting
– A narrator to set the scene for the audience
– Speaker’s name on the left and a colon after their name
– Take a new line for each speaker
– Stage directions are in brackets
I have attached the model text, a scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, to help you.
Missing you all,
Miss Prentice
In Art and Design we are learning to draw figures with lots of detail and to add a background to show where we are.
Can you draw yourself learning at home?
What are you wearing? Show the details on your clothes – pockets, zips, patterns.
What are you doing? Reading, writing, building, cooking? Add the things you are using!
Where are you? The kitchen, your bedroom, the garden? Include some detail to show this!
You can create your drawing in pencil or felt pen. Add colour if you wish using pencils, pens, pastels or paints!
Hello p2/3!
We always have lots of fun when we are learning at our spelling stations!
I have uploaded a document for you to show your parents what we do at every station. Have a go at sentence construction, alien station, cube station, creative patterns and spelling detectives at home!
I would love to see how you get on!
Happy Spelling!
Miss Arnot
Please find below the home learning grids for Primary 1. They will be issued on the first Monday of each month.
Good morning P4,
Another day, another couple of learning activities to keep those P4 brains working!
So far this week, you have been adding up to 3 digit numbers and then using your adding skills to find the missing number.
Today, let’s use those addition skills to solve some maths problems. Try the ‘Wednesday Workout’ in your maths problem solving booklets. This booklet is in your home learning packs.
I have also attached an addition pyramids worksheet at the bottom of this post. There are three different levels of difficulty and the answers are attached too (no peeking!).
The two numbers below a box add to make the number above. You do not need to print this worksheet to complete it! You can simply work out the answers and write these answers in your jotter or on your whiteboard!
Wednesday is writing day! Today, let’s focus on planning a piece of writing – a scene from a play script. Decide where the scene will be set, which characters you will include and decide what will happen in the scene. Maybe you could use a mind map to plan your piece of writing?
Remember, it is okay to borrow an idea from one of your favourite books or films! Tomorrow I’ll upload a model text to help you to write your play script.
Remember – be kind to yourself and make time to do lots of fun things too! Play a game, draw a picture and get some fresh air! Addition pyramids
Take care,
Miss Prentice
Good morning P4-5! I hope you have all been using your home learning packs to practice some of the skills that we have been learning in class this term. Try using the Pobble365 website to practice your writing, including improving sentences using adverbs.
Free writing is also a fantastic way to practice your writing- write about anything that takes your interest, either fiction or non-fiction!
Good morning P3. Miss Fraser forgot to bring home any spelling cubes so she has been doing her spelling using fruit pastilles. Can you work out which “ee” words they could be? I wonder what you have got at home that you could use to make spelling words?
At school, we often issue the same book for the whole week, which can seem odd. This is partly to allow time for lots of reading practice but there is also a lot of other discussion that happens in our reading groups on a daily basis.
For adults, it can sometimes be frustrating to help a child struggle over the same word on each page but, when you see all of the different elements that combine to make a fluent reader, it is, in my opinion, sheer magic!
Hopefully this guide will help you to continue to read at home, daily. You can also use the discussion ideas for audiobooks.
Hello again P3. Here are some spelling words to work on this week. Tune in tomorrow for Miss Fraser’s spelling challenge…….with fruit pastilles!
