On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, school will be closed. This is due to strikes by UNISON members.
As teachers are not part of these strikes, home learning will be posted each day on your class blog at 9:00.
Below is a document explaining the format of each day.
We have aimed to support pupil routine by creating a timetable very similar to our school day. We hope by being consistent across the school, this will support families whom may be working together or sharing resources.
We look forward to welcoming you back to school on Friday, when pupils can share the learning that has been completed at home and we can celebrate their achievements.
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.
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.
focus we were keen to show you how hard we worked on
across the school:
having fun with numbers to 5, 10 (and beyond)!
experimenting with Place Value arrow cards and partitioning numbers into
100s, 10s and 1s
Place Value arrow cards represent numbers in expanded notation. The cards overlap to form multi-digit numbers.
and consolidation with online games.
lots of practice with visualising and learning important principles of seeing patterns, anchoring numbers and enforce number bonds with the hands on teaching resource REKENREKS.
and Ten frames – to help develop a strong number sense! Ten frames are very useful in helping learners visualise numbers and build a good understanding of the relationships between numbers.
fun with board games and
using DIENES resources to represent 1,10,100 and 1000
allowing the learners to understand the relationship between the different columns on a place value grid:
using a variety of resources to identify, write and partition numbers up to 1 000 000 including Place value charts to help find the place value of each digit based on its position in a number.
using Place value discs including decimal numbers to tenths.
Place value disks help learners compare the value of each place, like that the tens place is ten times the ones place.
focusing on rounding to 2 decimal places.
We are excited to get started with Addition and subtraction next. See you soon! 🙂
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
