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.

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

Good Morning P5/6/7

Here are some learning activities for you to have a look at on this snowy day.Senses Poetry – Open this file for instructions on how to write a descriptive poem using the 5 senses. Snow Day Poetry.

Magimix – Use 1,6,6,2,3,1 to equal 30.

Measuring – Use a ruler or a tape measure to find the depth of the snow. Record your findings.

STEM – Create a chain reaction. Use dominos, Lego, blocks, marbles, (anything you can find) to make the longest chain reaction you can. Film it toppling down and experiment with slow motion on a device if you have one available. The science: When you line something like dominos up they have potential energy. When you knock over the first domino this potential energy is changed into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.

A woodpecker in my garden this morning!

Good morning P5-7,

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

  • More times tables practise. Use this website, choose a times table to work on and see if you can master it by the end of the day. Sumdog practise task is available until 3pm.
  • Gaelic weather- watch the video from yesterday again and have a go at the worksheet – writing sentences about the weather e.g. ‘It is cold and I am cold’.weather worksheet 21.11.25
  • Story writing: Muffin’s bathtime. Continue the story- Who is Muffin? Why is she having a bath- in a house? Use adjectives to describe her. Can you include a simile? Alliteration? Add your story in the comments or email it to me if you want to share it here. (Pobble 365)
  • Art- draw a monochrome picture. Think about the elements of art- in particular shape,form and value- and draw a wintry scene. My photo of the woodpecker above is a colour photo, but looks almost black and white because of the snow. Perhaps you could draw Vanessa in a snowy garden!
