Primary 4O Tasks Thursday 25 February 2021

Hello boys and girls these are today’s tasks. You will find workbooks and reading books in your learning packs.

Literacy

In your learning packs you will find you workbook entitled New Wave English in practice. This is a new booklet which we will complete each day. It helps us to see how much we remember from our grammar work and our spelling work. I would like you to complete Day 4 of the booklet. Read the questions carefully making sure if you are asked to write an answer you write it in the box provided, if you’re asked to circle an answer you circle it, or if you are asked to tick a question, you tick it. Only do Day 4 today.  

Today we are going to continue with our Guided Reading. Have a look on the timetable for today and see which book or chapter your group have to read. Once you have read your book or chapter, discuss what you have read with the adult who has listened to you. Once you have done this, take from your learning pack, the task for this piece of Guided Reading. When you answer your questions remember to use full sentences, capital letters and full stops. Remember to make sure your handwriting is neat and well presented. Read over your answers to ensure they make sense and are answering the question.

Once you have completed your Guided Reading task then you have an opportunity to continue learning and testing yourself on your weekly spellings which you received on Monday.

Remember to upload your finished work so I can view it and give you some feedback.

Numeracy

In your learning pack you will find your mental maths workbook. Complete  Thursday’s tasks for the first week.

We are continuing to look at money using our addition, subtraction and multiplication skills that we have learnt this year and applying them to money.  

Remember we only have the following coins in our currency or money 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2. 

Today we are going to look at money and addition. When we are doing addition, there are certain words from our numeracy wall, that give us clues that we are adding, such as- altogether, total, how much? These are clue words we sometimes find in questions.

In your learning packs and using Book 1, complete the next 4 pages (numbered 25, 26, 1 and 2) in your booklet. The pages 25 and 26 ask you to find the total value for each group of coins. Think what the clue word is asking you to do.

On page 1 you have some problems which are asking you how much each child has. In these problems you have to use both addition and subtraction to solve the problems. Think carefully about what the questions are asking you.

On page 2, questions 1 - 4, you have to add together the cost of two items. When you have found your answer you then have to show the coins for that value. In questions 5 - 9 you have to increase the price of the item by 9p, and once you have found the new price you have to show which coins make that value.

Remember we only have the following coins in our currency or money 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2. 

The work for these tasks can be completed on your sheets.

World Around Us

For this part of Term 2 we will be looking at Mammals. Mammals are one group that forms part of the Animal Kingdom. There are other different types of animals which are divided into different groups.

I would like you to watch the following attached YouTube video (Animal Song) that will tell you about the different groups that make up the Animal Kingdom. The Animal Kingdom consists of Mammals, Birds, Fish, Reptiles, Amphibians and Insects. Each of these groups are different in some way when they are compared to the others.

In your learning pack you will find your World Around Us worksheets. On the sheet titled, Sorting Animals you will find a number of coloured pictures of different animals. Using the information from the video, cut out the pictures and stick them onto the correct sections of the grid (next page). Think carefully before you stick!

Diary

I would like you to complete a diary entry for today. Remember to date your entry and answer the following questions:

How do I feel today? What did I like doing? What’s the weather like? What is happening in the world today?

For the last question you will have to listen to the news or ask an adult.
