Leith Primary School Home Learning Grid P4 – Week Beg 22/06/20 Theme: Summertime

Literacy - Writing

This week we are asking you to create a poster that can be shared with your new class teacher to help them get to know you better. Your poster should include the following headings:· I like · I don’t like· I learn well when· I don’t learn well when· I want my classroom to feel like· My ideas for staying safe at school

Writing: Poetry I can write a poem which is summer themed using similes and create a final product in the shape of what the poem is about.

Similes – As hot as an oven. As… as a…. Saying that something is similar to something else.Alliteration – using words that begin with the same letter e.g. the lovely, long, luxurious lazy days!Ideas: shape of a bucket/spade/ice-cream/sun. Mild. I know that a shape poem describes an object, person or animal and the words of the poem form the shape of what the poem is about. I can use 1 simile in my poem.

Spicy. I can use 3 similes in my poem and 1 example of alliteration. Hot I can include alliteration and similes in my poem. Use at least 5 similes.

Spelling: Choose 10 words that challenge you. Use Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check. Practise them 3 times (bubble writing, rainbow writing, draw a shape and write the word on each side). Then write 5 sentences using one spelling word in each. Remember capital letters and full stops. Try to use one of these connectives (and, because, then, however) mild spicy hotair chair acquaintfair stair acclaimhair again fundraiserrain against ailmentlair brain restrain

Numeracy: Solving problems with moneyMild: I can choose the fewest coins to pay.

Spicy: I can compare how much I have with the cost of items and I can choose the best coin or note to use

Hot: I can find the cost of items and say if they are affordableMore information (video) and worksheets available on online learning journals

Numeracy – extra challenge (spicy/hot)

This week we are looking at subtracting two 2-digit numbers using screened collections. For example; 47 - 15 = (strategies include subtracting the ones then subtracting the tens or using jumps)

There will worksheets and videos available on OLJ!

Science/Technology –Ice lollies

Make your own ice lollies. You can be as fancy or creative as you want. If you don’t have anything to freeze them in stick a lolly stick through the lid of a yoghurt and freeze it. It’s delicious 😊 Or freeze some fruit, frozen grapes are a nice treat too. There are lots of recipes and ideas online. Find your favourite and share it with us.

IDLTrip to the seaside

This week is Summer week! The staff at Leith Primary have created an at home

day trip to the seaside. It is shared on the OLJ, Website and on Twitter. You can

complete it indoors or outdoors. Please share any pictures on Twitter/OLJs – we hope you have fun and can’t wait to see

your photos 😊

Drama In order to help you create your dragon description in this week’s writing task, try to act how being a dragon. You could wear the colours you think your dragon would be. You could use some junk modelling to create wings or a tail. How do you move? How do you sound? How do you act? Use these to help you further with your picture and description.
