How’s it going so far?! It’s very strange not going into school every day, isn’t it? Are you missing it, yet?!
What did you learn last week? Have a wee think to yourself. Did you learn any new skills at home? I’ve learnt how to make pancakes (yum), a new crochet stitch and how to look after a big parrot! I’ve also been revising my skills of doing the laundry and ironing, and improving my tidying talents!
I’m sure all your mums and dads are doing a fantastic job of keeping you busy and gradually getting through the home learning packs. Don’t forget to get in touch at the P6 Helpdesk on Sli.do if you need any help!
The most important thing is to keep revising the basics – knowing your times tables inside out (and upside down!), practicing the four calculations (+, -, x and ÷) and challenging yourself to do more complex ones. Keep up your reading, too – explain a chapter to someone after you’ve read it; talk about how the main character feels; look up any words that you don’t know and use them in your own sentence.
And don’t forget to tell your friends about all the stuff that’s available on our Website! Spread the word!
*** UPDATE 27th March***
Good morning P6!
Want to join EPIC for free digital library reading resources? Or Boomwriter for an award-winning creative writing app? To get free access to these apps until 30th June 2020, a parent or guardian must be invited by a teacher. To register your interest, email victoriaprimary@hotmail.co.uk with the email account you want the app invitations sent to and who it is for.
If you’d like to join Prodigy, it is slightly easier – you just need the class code (available on Sli.do) and to follow the instructions further down this page.
Check out P6 Online Resources – Other Curriculum areas from the documents section below. There’s lots of ideas and links there to keep you busy.
And don’t forget to tell your friends about all the stuff that’s available on our Website! Spread the word!
Wash your hands! Keep safe! Keep busy!
***UPDATE to the previous UPDATE 26th March***
Another great app, similar to EPIC and Prodigy is available for writing, called Boomwriter. Check it out at https://boomwriter.com/.
If you would be interested in joining Boomwriter, EPIC or would like the class code for Prodigy, please get in touch through the P6 Helpdesk on Sli.do.
***UPDATE 26th March***
Good morning everyone! If you are reading this, please tell your classmates about it – we are adding things gradually to our P6 area. If you have any questions or suggestions, ask mum or dad to send us a message to the P6 Helpdesk on Sli.do and we will see what we can do.
Have a look at the document : P6 Online Resources – Other Curriculum areas. There’s a list of links to special things to do, like PE with Joe Wicks, story time with David Walliams, as well as nature, cookery – you could even learn a bit of sign language while you are at home!
I’ve found another great app, this time for reading. It’s called EPIC, and you can have free remote access until 30th June. Check it out at https://www.getepic.com/app/, and let me know on Sli.do if you would like access to this.
Don’t forget you can play Prodigy at home! (See instructions below if you’d like to join!)
PRODIGY ONLINE MATHS GAME
Hello P6!
We hope you are all looking after your families, keeping safe at home and having a go at the home learning packs. All the teachers are working hard and getting more activities ready for you that you will be able to find on our website!
In the meantime, some of the children in Mrs Foster’s class have been playing Prodigy, a maths game introduced to them in school. P6AF can continue playing Prodigy at home – ask mums and dads to connect to you so that they can see how well you are doing in maths!
If you are in Mrs Hayes’ class, you can also join prodigy:
- Go to prodigygame.com/play
- Select ‘New Student’
- Ask mum or dad to request the class code from the P6 Slido and enter that code
- Follow the instructions on screen
Parents can follow their children’s maths progress:
- Go to prodigygame.com/welcome
- Create an account for yourself
- Add your child with their username and password
The game adapts in difficulty to suit your child’s learning style and understanding of maths concepts, so it’s better to leave them to it rather than helping them when they are playing Prodigy.
Why not give it a go?!
Contact us through the P6 Sli.do if you have any queries.
