Spelling
There are new spelling word lists to take us from this week until the end of term. The grid of activities for all groups remains the same and appears first. There are different spelling words for each group – Prefixes, Suffixes, Alphabet and Consonants. Please ensure you select the correct list – your child should know which group they are in.
2-6
Nessy
Please ask your child if they use Nessy in school (about half of the class have log in details.) If they do, encourage them to spend around 15-20 minutes each day completing the allocated tasks. If your child cannot remember their user name and password, please email me on Glow and I will send you it, thank you.

Please note, all of these tasks already appear on Microsoft Teams. There is no need to use both Microsoft Teams and the website. Please use Microsoft Teams if you are able. This allows us to ensure that the correct work is sent to each child. Your child should send us work completed via the ‘Hand in’ on Assignments and we are then able to provide individual feedback.
Starting on the next page you will find all of P4’s learning tasks for the next 2 weeks. These will be released on Microsoft Teams on the evening of Sunday 31 January 2021 and should be completed by Friday 12 February 2021 if possible – please just do what you can manage.
Thank you for your continued support. I really appreciate it.

Rules of Divisibility 1 – Circles Only
CfE outcome: Having explored the patterns and relationships in multiplication and division, I can investigate and identify the multiples and factors of numbers. MTH 2-05a
Success criteria:
I can explain how a number being odd or even helps me to work out what it is divisible by.
I can use my halving skills to test if numbers are divisible by 4 and 8.
Tests of Divisibility
Let’s remind ourselves of some of the rules:
Times table
Rule of divisibility
An example
Divide by 2
If the unit digit is even (0,2,4,6 or 8) although the rest of the digits may not be.
742 divides exactly by 2 because the units digit is even.
Divide by 4
If the number can be divided by 2 and 2 again. The result of the 1st division must be even.
948 divides exactly by 4 because 9482=474 and the result of this 1st division is even. If we divide by 2 again to check then 4742=237. By halving the number twice, we have actually divided by 4 so 9484=237.
Divide by 8
If the number can be divided by 2 and 2 again. The result of the 2nd division must be even.
224 divides exactly by 8 because 224112 and 1122=56 and 56 is even. We can divide by 2 again to check then 562=28. By halving the number 3 times we have actually divided by 8 so 2248=28
Using the rules to help you and showing working where necessary, complete the following:
1. Circle the numbers which are divisible by 2.
a. 128 b. 193 c. 354 d. 871 e. 1082 f. 3043 g. 31316 h. 72945
2. Circle the numbers which are divisible by 4.
a. 46 b. 64 c. 136 d. 278 e. 480 f. 1016 g. 1458 h. 1828
3. Circle the numbers which are divisible by 8.
a. 28 b. 94 c. 120 d. 144 e. 268 f. 1428 g. 1724 h. 1856
4. Using the rules of divisibility given above, experiment with 6 numbers chosen at random and work out whether they are divisible by 2, 4 or 8. Show your working.
For example, I might randomly pick the number 246. Straight away I know it is divisible by 2 because the Units digit is even. Can it be divided exactly by 4? Let’s see - 246=123 and this number is not even so I know it cannot be divided exactly by 4. Can it be divided by 8? 2462=123 but this number is not even so I cannot divide it exactly by 2 again and therefore it cannot be divided exactly by 8. To conclude, the number 246 is divisible by 2 but not by 4 or 8.
Play this game:
Number Check (2 players)
You will need: set of 0-9 number cards
Aim: To use divisibility tests and win points.
· Spread out the number cards face down.
· Each take 3 cards and arrange them to make a 3-digit number.
· Workout if your number is divisible by 2. If it is you win 2 points.
· Work out if your number is divisible by 4. If it is you win 4 points.
· Work out if your number is divisible by 8. If it is you win 8 points.
· Record your number, what it is divisible by and your points for the round.
· Deal new cards and repeat.
· The winner is the one with the most points after 3 rounds.
Multiplication & Division 5 – Triangles & Squares Only
Learning Outcome: WALT recall all our table facts quickly and accurately – 5 and 10.
Success criteria:
· I can recite my 5 and 10 time-tables
· I can recall individual multiplication facts in my 5 and 10 time-tables
· I can use the links between these times-tables to help me recall my facts, e.g. the 5 times table is half the 10 times table.
· I can recall individual division facts in my 5 and 10 times-tables
Key teaching points for parents/carers you may find useful:
· Multiplying by zero always gives zero.
· Multiplying by 1 will not change the number.
· Because multiplication is commutative, knowing one multiplication fact means knowing another from a different table, e.g., 10 x 5 = 5 x 10
· Because multiplication and division are inverses of each other, knowing one multiplication fact means knowing two division facts, e.g.,10 x 8 = 80; 80 8 = 10, 80 10 = 8
· Multiplying by 10 is easy – the 10 times table always ends in a 0. But do not fall into the trap of saying that you add a zero to the end when multiplying by 10 – this works with whole numbers only and can lead to problems when working with decimal numbers later.
· The 5 times table is half the 10 times table.
· The multiples of the 5 times table always end in 5 or 0.
· The multiples of 5 that end in 0 are also multiples of 10.
The stages in learning times tables are:
· Being able to recite them in order like a poem.
· Being able to recite them backwards – many children say this is the key to being able to pick out one particular fact
· Being able to give the answer to one particular multiplication fact without having to build up to it by reciting all previous facts in order.
· Being able to know what division fact goes with a particular multiplication fact.
· For children who may be struggling with memorising other tables, the 2-, 5- and 10-times tables and division facts are very important as they can use them to work out many others. Help your child to make connections by pointing out that having learned the 2-, 4- and 8-times table, they already know 3 of the 5- and 10-times table facts.
On the next 2 pages, you should play the games and complete the written exercise.

_____ x 10 = 20 _____ x 10 = 50 _____ x 10 = 90 _____ x10 = 10 _____ x 10 = 70
_____ x 10 = 100 _____ x 10 = 40 _____ x 10 = 80 _____ x 10 = 30 _____ x 10 = 0
_____ x 10 = 60
Dividing by 5 and 10
· A game for 2 players, each with a counter at the ‘Start’.
· Take turns to roll a dice and move your counter a matching number of spaces.
· If you land on a number ending in 5, say a matching times table, e.g. If I land on 45
I need to say 5 x 9 = 45 before moving to the number 50 and waiting for my next turn. If I get the answer wrong, I must move back 5 and try again.
· If you land on a number ending in 0, say a matching times table, e.g. If I land on 40
I need to say 3 x 10 = 30 before moving to the number 40 and waiting for my next turn. If I get the answer wrong, I must move back 10 and try again. The winner is the first to reach ‘Finish’. Good luck!

Through investigating the ways in which Christians mark major life events and times of year, I can explain key
features of such festivals and celebrations. RME 2 -03b
Success criteria:
I can give Pancake Day its correct name.
I can explain what the name of the festival means.
I know when the festival occurs.
I can explain some of the features of the festival.
Pancake Day
Pancake Day is a Christian festival that has been celebrated for over 1000 years. It is al so known as
Shrove Tuesday. The word ‘Shrove’ means to be forgiven for doing wrong. Shrove Tuesday marks the
start of Lent. Lent is the 40 days in the lead up to Easter. During Lent, Christians give up treats and rich
food as they believe it helps them to focus on Jesus and remember the sacrifice he made by dying on the
cross. Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to have a treat and use up rich foods such as fat, butter and eggs.
In the United Kingdom, there are lots of traditions linked to Pancake Day.
Scotland
Scottish pancakes are smaller and thicker than traditional pancakes and are also known as drop scones
because the batter is dropped into a pan of hot oil.
England
Legend has it that in 1445, a woman heard the church bells ringing as she was makin g pancakes. Rather
than be later for church, she ran to church still wearing her apron and carrying her frying pan! Today you
can take part in a race, wearing an apron and carrying a frying pan with a pancake. You must toss your
pancake three times duri ng the race and the first one back to the church wins.
Northern Ireland
In the past, pancakes were cooked over a fire. The whole family would gather to enjoy the pancakes. T he
eldest unmarried daughter in the family would toss the first pancake. If it landed back in the pan, she
would be married that year but if it didn’t or she dropped it she would not be getting married.
Wales
The night before Shrove Tuesday, tin cans are kicked down the street to remember the job of putting
away all the pots and pans that were used to make the tastier food that was not allowed to be eaten
during Lent. Welsh Crempogs are thicker than traditional pancakes.
