Good morning.

Please find attached the home learning for Primary Five. If there any issues with connectivity or accessing any of the materials please get in touch at admin@royalmile.edin.sch.uk as soon as possible.

Have a good day!

Mr McPheely

Good morning Primary Five Families,

Please find attached below the home learning for today. I have provided links to sways for each lesson which should allow children to work as independently as possible. They should only need a jotter and pencil to complete each activity.

Please encourage your child to write in their home learning jotter. It would be great to see what they have done when we are back in school on Friday.

Thanks!

Mr McPheely

Below is listed the home learning activities for this week in Primary Five. This will be the usual home learning which goes home every Monday and is to be returned on the Thursday of the same week. This week I will also post home learning activities in onto the blog on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday due to the school closure.

Your child will come home today with a home learning jotter and a pencil to complete their home learning with.

Maths and Numeracy

Please complete at least one of the squares from the mental agility grid below. The file can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.

Spelling

This week’s spelling sound is ‘wr’. We can call this silent ‘w’ as the ‘wr’ together just make a ‘r’ sound.

Core words:

wrap

wrist

wreck

wrong

write

wrapper

Additional words (Mild)- wring, wrote, writing, wrestle

Additional words (Hot)- wriggle, wraith, wroth, wrinkle

Use the sound chart below to help you sound out the different words. See if you can spot this weeks focus sound on the chart.

Please learn your spelling words using lines and dots, pyramid words, word tennis, word clapping etc.

Learning Across the Curriculum

To continue our learning on the Ancient Greeks, please research some facts on the Ancient Greek Olympics. You can use a variety of online sources and library resources to find your information but please don’t forget to write down where the information came from, so we can judge how reliable the source is.

We have just finished reading Christophe’s Story as our first class novel study in Primary Five. We found out about Christophe, a boy who moves from Rwanda in Africa due to a civil war and how he settles into his new home and school in the UK.

Here is what some members of the class had to say about the book.

‘I liked the story of Christophe, especially when he stood up in front of the class and explained what happened to him and why he moved country. I would give it five stars’ Sariah

‘I really liked it when Christophe told his story to the class at the end of the book. He must have been much more confident to do that at the end.’ Rebecca

‘I would give Christophe’s story five stars, because the story made me really curious about the war. I wanted to find out more about Rwanda back then.’ Damian

‘I would give it four stars out of five. It was interesting and my favourite part was when they found out if Babi was alive or not.’ Angelos

We have now been back to school for just over a month and the time has flown by! Below are some images of just some of the things Primary Five have been getting up to since coming back to school.

From visits to the National Museum of Scotland to see some ceramics from the Ancient Greek times, to our trip to the Edinburgh Book Festival and learning how to be ‘Tiger Warriors’ with Maisie Chan, we’ve certainly been busy!
