Primary 4 homework W.B 22.1.24
Hello Primary 4,
Our spelling pattern this week is adding -ing to words that end in e.
If a word ends in ‘e’, you drop the ‘e’ and add -ing. For example name becomes naming, care becomes caring, stare becomes staring.
Use this rhyme to help you remember:
‘Take off the e, add i-n-g.’
Your spelling words this week are:
baking, biting, hiding, taking, facing, hoping, lining, shining, naming, sharing, liking, framing, filing, firing, rising, raking, flaming, blaming, aging, caring, hating, staring, dating, wiping, hiking, diving, biking, smiling, dining, driving
Choose 2 activities from the grid to practise.
As this Thursday is Burns Night, I would like you to find out about some famous Scottish people.
You can:
Find out 5 facts about Robert Burns and why we celebrate Burns Night in January.
OR
Find out 5 facts about another famous Scottish person.
Please write your facts down in your homework jotter.
Your maths homework this week is to show off your symmetry knowledge, by playing this game on blooket:

You could also practise your times tables with this game:

We have recently been looking at patterns in the times tables, noticing how the answers in the 4 times tables are double the answers in the 2 times tables, and the 8 times tables are double the answers in the 4 times tables. It would be beneficial to practise the 2x, 4x and 8x tables this week.
I hope you enjoy playing the games, and I’m looking forward to seeing your spelling homework and facts about Famous Scots in your jotters on Thursdays!

Primary 4 homework W.B 15.1.24
Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you all had a lovely break.
The children have been sharing their “Celebrations and Food” homework presentations. They have worked so hard on these and they have done so well! I will post some photos on the blog of them once everyone has had a chance to present in class. Thank you, parents and carers, for your support in this.
Last week we learned a new spelling rule for adding -ing. When the root word ends with 2 consonants you just add -ing
e.g fast– fasting, walk– walking, help– helping
This week the rule we are learning is this: when the root word has a ‘short’ vowel and only one consonant after it, you double the consonant and add -ing.
e.g put– putting,
run– running
split– splitting
Our spelling words this week are:
batting, sitting, running, humming, sunning, winning, betting, wedding, stunning, cramming, jetting, blotting, setting, rubbing, shutting, drumming, jamming, ramming, splitting, letting
Please practise them using 2 of the activities from the grid below.
Each child has been given an activity to practise copying a symmetrical image.
We have been creating beautiful and complex symmetrical images in class and really challenging ourselves.

Mental Agility
Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely holiday and are feeling motivated for the new term! 🙂
We will begin this term with the red level of Mental Agility and
Please find attached activities we will be covering in class!
As always this will also be our Numeracy homework!
Thank you for all your support at home!
PRIMARY 1:
PRIMARY 2,3 and 4:
PRIMARY 5, 6 and 7:
One of the most important skills in numeracy is to be able to count forward and backward.
It is vital to not always start at 1:
- Can you count in 1s starting from 3?
- Can you skip count in 10s starting from 50?
- Can you count backwards in1s from 98?
Lots of games, taking turns counting or passing an object can make it fun and part of your daily routine!
Catchy songs can help fluency too:
Times tables practice is also crucial:

Please take a look at some of our fabulous learning:
EARLY LEVEL:

PRIMARY 2-4
Some of our learners really enjoyed this helpful song:
lots of new vocabulary about
EQUAL GROUPS
and EQUAL SHARES
PRIMARY 5-7
The Cuisenaire rods have been very helpful in making equal groups and demonstrating multiplication:
Lots of times tables practice with board games and online games have helped fluency!
The grid method helped with 2digit x 1 digit
as well as 2digit x 2 digit multipluication
We hope you enjoyed practising at home too and appreciate all your support with the chilli HOMEWORK challenges
