Spelling

This week the spelling pattern is using the suffix ‘ily’ to create adverbs. The rule is if a word ends in a y and you want to turn it into an adverb you drop the y and then add on ‘ily’. So happy becomes happily.

Core words

easily, lazily, angrily, happily, luckily, wearily

Mild words

clumsily, noisily, speedily, prettily

Hot words

hungrily, heavily, merrily, steadily

Maths and Numeracy

This week we will continue to focus on subtraction skills in numeracy. Please choose one activity from the PACE grid below.

PracticeApplyCorrectExtend
Use concrete materials at home to practice subtracting amounts. For example to find 21-9 take 21 objects (coins, fruit, lego etc.) and take away 9. Count how many you have now. Answer these questions using either the number line or column method.
1. 542-123=
2. 847-231=
3. 432-185=
4. 853-536=
5. 974-428=		From these ten number sentences, identify the 5 incorrect answers and then solve them in your homework jotter.
1. 649-225=424
2. 4 537- 2 316= 2 221
3. 763-439= 322
4. 854-539= 315
5. 745-221= 483
6. 732-214= 478
7. 973-268= 705
8. 4 579- 2 537= 1 975
9. 8 472- 5 735= 2 737
10. 9 532- 8 532= 4 67		Create either a poster or a video explaining how to use either the number line or column subtraction method.

Avery belated Happy New Year to all Primary 5 families. I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable break. It has been fantastic welcoming back all of the Primary 5 learners and am looking forward to sharing our learning this term.

As previously, home learning is set on a Monday and supplements the in class learning children complete. Home learning should be completed in the home learning jotter and returned on a Thursday.

Spelling

This week in class we will be focusing on the ‘ai’ sound. Your child will learn the ‘core words’ as well as either the ‘mild’ or ‘hot’ words. You can practice spelling words using the look, cover, say, write, check approach as well as breaking down words to their sound.

Core words: repair, raise, curtain, afraid, bargain, obtain

Mild words: despair, Britain, certain, praise

Hot words: straight, mountain, fountain, traipse

Maths and Numeracy

This week and the previous week we have been focusing on short division. Learners have had the opportunity to create videos or posters explaining how to use the short division or ‘bus stop’ method. Please choose the appropriate level of challenge from the PACE grid below and write the problem, solution and workings in the home learning jotter.

PracticeApplyCorrectExtend
Use concrete materials and knowledge of times tables to find the answer to the following questions.

12÷4=
21÷3=
18÷6=
20÷5=
35÷5=


Solve the division questions below, writing the answers in your maths jotter.

93÷3=
1072÷4=
156÷3=
623÷7=
348÷6=
 
With remainders 452÷3=
967÷4=
236÷3=
562÷7=
946÷6=               		Identify the incorrect number sentences and write them in your jotter with the correct solution.

 350÷7=40
448÷8=56 336÷6=56 602÷7=83 513÷9=57 		Come up with your own division questions using five digit numbers. You could also challenge yourself to divide numbers giving an answer in decimals.

Learning Across the Curriculum

Choose the top five things to see or places to go within a 30 minute walk of school. What can you do there? Why would people want to go? Who would enjoy it most (is it for adults or children?).

It doesn’t have to be famous or tourist attractions. You could choose a local park, shop you like or even a friends house, as long as you can explain why.

Mental Agility

Ms.Brunner

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:

Early Level 1 Red Counting forwards and backDownload

PRIMARY 2,3 and 4:

First Level 1 Red Counting forwards and backwardsDownload

PRIMARY 5, 6 and 7:

Second Level 1 Red Counting forwards and backwardsDownload

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:

Multiplication and Division update

Ms.Brunner

The last 5 weeks we have been focusing on

Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, Ratio and Proportion:

Please take a look at some of our fabulous learning:

EARLY LEVEL:

Primary 1

are working on a group of 10 and some extra ones…

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
