Good morning P1-4,

I hope you are enjoying the snowy weather! The penguins kept us entertained yesterday- did you get a chance to see them being fed?  Lots of you have already spent time on Sumdog this week- well done!  Mrs McKnight and the MacFadyens have been busy building snowmen, and my doggies have enjoyed running around our garden. If you have a picture you’d like to share here, just drop me an email.

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

Literacy/IDL/ Get outdoors

Part of our new topic for this term is learning about the weather and its effect on animals.

When we are back in class we shall do some planning together, but you can make a start by finding out about snow. Click on this link and work through the page, watch the video and then try the quiz at the bottom. If you’d like a challenge, can you write a poem about a snowy day?

Look closely at the snow outside- ask a parent to help you zoom in on a camera app on a phone or tablet. What can you see?  Can you draw a snowflake?

Numeracy

Log onto Sumdog and practise your maths.

If you prefer, have a look at Hit the Button. There are lots of different levels and you can practise number bonds, times tables or halves and doubles.

If you want to let me know how you get on, ask a parent to help you leave a comment on this post.

Stay cosy and hopefully we will see you soon,

Mrs Maclean
