Learning activities P1-4 Tuesday 6th Jan

 

Good morning P1-4,

here are some learning activities for you to have a look at today.

Literacy 🐧

Follow this link to watch the penguins at Edinburgh Zoo and answer these questions.

(Click play and then click on the ‘full screen’ arrows in the top right corner.)

What are they up to?

Are they all the same?

Can you spot the one with a sore leg?

If you can’t see them, where do you think they have gone?

If you are very lucky, you might see a zookeeper with a white bucket. What do you think he has in the bucket and what do the penguins do when they see him?

What do you notice about how they move on land and how they move in the water?

Numeracy and Maths

Log onto Sumdog and practise your maths.

Curricular areas thinglink

Lots of learning and fun activities to try on this ThingLink, just follow the link and click on the icons in the picture. My favourites are GoNoodle dancing hiding on the rug, and the blob opera app, find it on the guitar! 🎸

See you soon,

Mrs Maclean

 

Learning P5/6/7 06.01.26

Good Morning,

I hope you have all been enjoying this snowy weather. Can you remember how to say ‘It is snowing’ in French?

Here are some learning activities for you to try today.

Maths – Measure the depth of the snow with a ruler or tape measure, add to a chart to compare with yesterday. Is it more or less? By how many centimetres?

Winter Market Money – Take a look at these money problems. Solve on paper or, if you can, print the sheet.https://glowscotland-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/gw24florencekirsty_glow_sch_uk/IQAp2FMpczonTZWof7771j4-AXKRHGNZNTJyqSwKe21kHOg?e=KVZtF1

STEM – Try this Ski Lift Engineering project. Use problem solving skills to build a functioning pulley system. Ski Lift Engineering – STEM.mov

Literacy – In your best handwriting, write a diary entry for your day. Try to use descriptive words. For example:

8:00 am – Woke up and looked out of the window – more snow! I had a dream about sledging.

8:30am – Had boiled eggs with toast for breakfast. The hot melted butter tasted delicious.

9:00 am – Took my dog for a long walk, had to wear heavy snow boots and a cozy hat.

If you would like to share any learning with me on Glow, that would be brilliant! If not, I will be delighted to hear about it when we get back to school.

As always, comment to let me know if there is an issue with any of the links.

Happy learning,

Miss Florence
