Spelling

Please see the spelling words below for this week. Choose an activity from the spelling grid to complete in your folders.

Reading Comprehension

Read Screen 5 of the ebook Blood on Active Learn Primary. Create a flowchart showing the steps of how blood is made in the body. It can be as colourful and visual as you like! You can do it on paper or on a device. A picture of a flowchart is below to give you some ideas to get started.

Numeracy

We are bringing our focus back to mental agility in numeracy. Below is the P7 grid for this week. Choose a mild, spicy or hot option from the highlighted squares to practise at home. We will consolidate this in class on Thursday or Friday.

Hi Primary Six Families,

I have attached the weekly summary grid for last week with activities you can do at home to consolidate learning in class. As usual please feel free to submit any work on teams, email it to admin@royalmile.edin.sch.uk or sent it in with your child.

Thank you,

Mr McPheely

… and thank you for coming to see us!

Welcome to another year of Read, Write, Count and their excellent activities and resources.

We especially enjoyed this year’s book – ‘Look up!’ by N.Bryon

and researched Rocket’s role model Mae Jemison!

Thinking about a journey to space there are certain things we rather not go without… 🙂

Rocket knows exactly what she would like her future to look like! But what about Primary 3? 🙂

Look at our super space art work too:

We loved the non-fiction ‘Wow!’

and learnt many animal facts too.

Please check out this website https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/reading-and-stories/read-write-count

and see WHAT’S IN THE BAG!

You might find some of these suggestion fun and helpful at home too:

How exciting! Have fun with your new resources including the story cards, note pad and pen as well as a measuring tape and let us know what you got up to!

Time

We have been continuing our Time topic.

Day is when our side of the earth points towards the sun.

Night is when our side of the earth points away from the sun.

The seasons

There are 4 seasons in a year. November is an autumn season.

Every day this week we have been recording the weather. Autumn has lots of mixed weather. We have had fog, cloud, wind, rain and sunshine this week!

Our Senses

Can you play this game to test your knowledge of your senses? > Senses game

Our senses tell our brain what is happening around us. Our senses help to keep us safe. On Friday we completed different challenges to test how good our senses are!

Throwing and catching

We have been practising our throwing and catching but this week with different sized balls! We played a race where one team had a small ball and one team had our giant ball. The giant ball was much easier to throw and catch because it is easier to see with our eyes!

This week…

This week is going to be so exciting because it is Book Week Scotland AND Road Safety Week! We will be going out and about so make sure you have your waterproofs and wellies please 🌧️☔
