Maths

I have created 2 maths cities on Education City, one for P1 and one for P2. Log in and have a try.

There are some learn screens – Learn Screens help introduce or reinforce a topic. Great as part of a starter or for independent use. These can be watched. There are also some activities to try with related worksheets if you want to print them. Lastly, Play Live is a real time 60 second challenge in which students can play against each other in a competitive arena. This will help with quick recall of number facts for addition and subtraction.

PE with Joe is on live every day at 9am but you can do it anytime. Thursday is our PE/Outdoor learning day so give it a try today.

Or if you want to get outside why not try an ABC scavenger hunt. Go into your garden to see what you can find for the different letters of the alphabet.

Thursday is also our French day – listen to The Very Hungry Caterpillar in French.

 

 

Remember to check the weekly blog post for CLIC and phonics/spelling for the week.

Yoga for today – Wednesday is usually our yoga day.

Art – some drawing to try with Steven Lenton and Lydia Monks. Please send a picture of any artwork you create.

Finally, I’m sure many of you will have seen children’s pictures of rainbows popping up in house windows. The idea is that children make a picture of a rainbow (sometimes with a positive message written on) and display in a house window to spread hope and happiness during this unsettling time. If your child has made one or would like to make one, please send me a photo of it as I would love to share a rainbow each day in my post to brighten up our day! 🌈😃
