have suggested. Below this you will find this week’s learning activities. This can be dipped into, when

you have the time, and there is no expectation that all tasks are completed. Only do what you feel

you can do. If you have any queries at all, teachers can be ‘tagged’ for help on our Teams pages

Weekly Learning Activities

Literacy Reading

Choose your favourite part of the book you are reading (or from a book you have read in

the past). Draw a picture of the scene. Remember to make it

colourful and to think about the background too, not just the

characters. Write a sentence explaining

why this is your favourite part.

Literacy Spelling

Write down as many words you can think of which include the

word ‘ice’. ‘Ice’ could be at the start, middle or end of the word. The word may also

include a hyphen. How many can you think of?

Literacy Writing

Write a letter to your future self. It is up to you how much in the

future you go – it could be you when you are 18 or you when you

are 30!

What would you want them to remember from now?

What questions would ask them? What do you think they will be doing, for example, their job?

Where will they be living? Remember your capital letters and

full stops. Try and vary your openers and use sophisticated

vocabulary.

Numeracy Challenging Word Problems

Addition and Subtraction

Health and Wellbeing Socially Distant Random Acts of

Kindness From the suggestions below, or ideas of your own, carry out a

random act of kindness everyday this week.

Remember, it doesn’t have to be big, sometimes the smallest

acts of kindness mean a lot!

Mrs Law’s Summer Olympics - Sprint and Mini Marathon

Challenge

Our final week of Olympic Athletics events.

*See activity below*

ECO We are working towards our next

ECO flag for our school. You can

help us by learning about

Sustainability Development Goal

12.

This global goal is all about

reducing waste.

Over the next few weeks, you

have a challenge! Can you grow

some food from scraps?

See below for the activity.

I.D.L. Polar Regions

There are 3 types of Arctic Habitats

1. Polar deserts 2. Tundra 3. The Taiga

Research the characteristics of these habitats and the animals which live in them. Why not

create a fact file including illustrations of what the animals

and areas look like?

I.D.L. Polar Regions

Using the 3 habitats from the first activity find out either:

1. How animals have adapted to their environment to be able to survive.

OR 2. How climate change is

affecting these areas and the animals which live in them.

You may do both if you wish!!

Science Types of Ice

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/63QOaNji1QQ

Match the pictures of each type

of ice to the description.

*See activity below*

P.L.L. French Food

Watch the BBC Bitesize clip and make a poster of all the foods you hear. Try to label as many

as you can in French. You could have a go at writing some of the

phrases. Don’t worry about spelling

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z82kjxs

Expressive Arts: Music

‘Winter’ from The Four Seasons by Vivaldi is a good example of music

written to “sound” or “feel” a particular way. The music was inspired by a poem with lots of

cold vocabulary. Have a listen and decide if you think Vivaldi was

successful in making the listener feel cold, just like it is in the Polar

Regions. The song What’s it worth planet Earth? tells us about some things

we can do to help save our planet. Can you think of any

more?

See Teams (General Channel - Files) for music videos and words.

Our Interdisciplinary (IDL) Whole School Theme is: Habitats: Polar Areas

ECO Challenge

Over the next few weeks, you have a challenge! Can you grow some food from scraps?

Instead of throwing the food item out, see if you can grow something new from it.

Task: Keep a diary of the growth of the item. Can you take photos or perhaps you could draw what happens

each day. Watch it grow over a few weeks and write about what happens. Use your knowledge of what plants

need to help it grow. We would love to see your diaries, drawings or pictures on Teams.

Please tag (by typing @ ) Mrs Mackenzie and Mrs Owens in your ECO challenge post on Teams in the weekly

learning grid. Mrs Mackenzie might even send your picture to Mrs Owens for the ECO flag application!

Carrot tops These can be regrown by sitting the growing tip in a shallow dish of water. Change the water daily and soon you’ll have lush green leaves.

Spring Onions, Onions and Leeks

These will regrow from the root part. Just leave about 3cm of onion attached to the root end and pop in a shallow glass of water. When the roots appear from the base just plant it up into a pot of soil.

Lettuce Leaves

You can also regrow the base of a lettuce once you’ve eaten the leaves. Pop the part where it roots into a pot and keep moist. Soon it will regrow lush crunchy leaves for you.

Maths

Challenging Word Problems Addition and Subtraction Try to do these calculations by adding or subtracting using “chimney” type setting out. However, if you find them too challenging you can use a calculator. Good luck!

• Callum has 92 football cards and Adam has 58 more. How many football cards does Adam have?

• Mark had 162 stickers. He swapped 45 for 10 football cards and 61 for a football. How many stickers does he have now?

• Grace scored 138 on level 1 in a computer game. She scored 197 on level 2, however she lost 72 points. What is her total score?

• At the archery competition, our team was Sarah and Tim. Sarah scored 182 and Tim scored 236. The winning team’s score was 511. How many more did Sarah and Tim need to match the winning score?

• Miss Moore makes 238 cakes for the school fete, but Miss Allan buys 29 of them before the sale starts and Mr Phillps buys 45. How many cakes are left for the sale?

• Mrs Heath took 58 pupils from P5 and P6 on a trip. They met with two other schools. One group had 46 pupils and the other had 64. How many pupils were on the trip altogether?

• 602 football fans attended a football match this week. That I 263 fewer than last week. How many people were there last week?

• One length of a swimming pool is 25 metres. Luke has swum three lengths so far. He is aiming to swim half a kilometre, (500 metres). How many more lengths does he need to swim?

Can you make two calculations of your own?

Mrs Law’s Summer Olympics – Sprint and Mini Marathon The Marathon is the longest running race at the Olympics at 26.2 miles. Next year’s Olympic Marathon will be held in Sapporo which is north of Tokyo. The 100 metre sprint is the shortest running race at the Olympics and one of the most prestigious. You will have heard of Usain Bolt a famous 100 metre sprinter. Can you find out what country he represents and what his fastest 100m time is? Can you find out who won the men’s and women’s marathon races at the Rio 2016 Olympics?

Athletics Task: Record sprint times and take part in a mini marathon Sprint - Mark out a starting and finishing line in your garden or near your house. Get an adult (or sibling) to time your sprint. Sprint from your start line to your finish line. See if you can improve your sprint time by trying it 3 more times. Double the length of your track (or go to the finish and back again). What time do you get? Sprinting tips - Get a good push off the ground at the start of the race (make sure you start with one foot in front of the other). Use your arms to drive you forward when you are running (hip to lip). Focus on the finish sprinting through the finish line, don’t slow down before it.

Sprint 1 time Sprint 2 time Sprint 3 time Sprint 4 time Sprint time with track doubled

Mini Marathon – Mark out your marathon route, it can be in your garden or near your house. If you can measure your route then make a note of the distance. Option 1 – run for 10 minutes without stopping or Option 2 – run for 15 minutes without stopping. Count how many times you complete your route in your chosen time. Can you work out how far you ran in the time? Distance running tips – Relax your upper body, gently swinging your arms as you run. Take longer strides (steps).

Track distance (in metres) Option 1 or Option 2 Time Laps Completed Total Distance Run (in metres)

Post pictures of your sprint and mini marathon on Microsoft Teams and let us know how you got on.
