Hello everyone,

I hope you all have thumbs up and had a great weekend.

It was lovely seeing the children who attended the Google Meets last week. If you want to take part please contact a member of staff and we will add you into a group.

Here is a story about seeing your friends and not being able to touch them and how you can let them know you still care for them.

I was going to post an outdoor activity, but was unsure how the weather would be. I have decided to ask you if you think you can make a tent/den.This can be made indoors or if it is nice you can make it outdoors.

One of our friends has already made a fantastic den with their big brother. What do you think? isn’t it  fabulous!

We would love to see your creations.

 

Transition Week 5

Challenge

Do you know the letter sounds in your name?

This week we would like you to find objects that have the same letter sounds as the ones in your name.

 

If you do not know all your letter sounds that is okay. Just find items for the ones you do know.

Example.

Name Sam – Straw, Apple, Monkey

Or Strawberry, Slipper, Sock

 

Question

I am looking forward to or excited about??

 

This can be anything you think will happen at Primary1 or in the school. If you’re grown up writes down what you say and can post it on your ILD or emails them to the nursery staff.

 

As always, we would love to see photos or videos of the challenge being completed.

Hello everyone,

I have posted an activity on the school twitter account for you. You can find it at @abbotswell.

It uses a shadow! Do you remember what a shadow is? and what you need for it to appear?

Did you know that you can make shadow puppets.

What can you make your shadow do?

We would love to see what you create. As always you can post it to your ILD or tweet it to @abbotswell

Stay safe

Hello Everybody,

Can you remember the ‘Knock Knock’ story books we looked at last term. There is a new Knock Knock book it is called ‘Knock, Knock Superhero’.

Here is the author Caryl Hart reading it for you.

Lets all dance as Superheroes.

 

We would love to see your Superheroes.

Have a great day

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you were all able to get out and enjoy the lovely weather we had over the weekend. Now that the weather is getting hotter I hope you are remembering about how to stay safe in the sunny weather. Here is a rhyming story to help you.

Today is say something nice day.

Here is a story about being kind.

What kind thing are you going to do today?

Another fun fact about today is that it is Table top day.

Maybe you can play your favourite board game with your family. It is a great way to practice your counting and also recognising number patterns on the dice.

Take care

 

 

 

Transition

Hello Everyone,

Information

This week we have the photos of our really helpful Office Staff. Most of you will know Mrs Douglas in the office already. The Office staff help everybody in school.

Our Office Team

I would also like to tell you about our Dinner Ladies. They work in the school kitchens and cook lunch for all the boys and girls. They are really friendly and always have a smile. It makes them really happy when the children remember to say please and thank you!

Challenge

When you go to school most children have either a school dinner or a packed lunch to eat at lunch time. You also get to take a healthy snack for playtime!

This week’s challenge is for you to be able to open up a packet or a container. For example:

  • yogurt pot;
  • bag of fruit;
  • small plastic container/tub (that you would find in a packed lunch box)

Can you also drink out of an ‘open’ cup one with no lid.

Question

I am a bit worried about?

This can be anything you are not sure about Primary 1. If you’re grown up writes any worries you have down and posts them on your ILD or emails them to nursery staff we will be able to answer your questions.

As always we would love to see photos or videos of the challenge being completed.

(Here is a hint for completing it– have a packed lunch outside!)
