Hello again P1-4,

Thank you to the Shirrans for sending in these lovely photos- I can see you are having fun in the snow. That’s a great snowflake picture too! We love to see what you’re getting up to. ❄️

And great photos from Oscar this morning, digging a snow tunnel in the field.

Mrs McKnight is ‘in class’ today and has asked that you have a look at the learning activities below.

Literacy

·      Think of an animal that lives in a cold or snowy place.  Draw a picture of the animal and write around the outside things it has to help it to survive the cold (e.g thick, warm fur).  Perhaps an adult could help you to research the animal online or in a book?

·      Adjectives are describing words.  How many adjectives can you think of to describe today’s weather?  Make a list to share with me when we are back in school.

Numeracy

·      Log into Sumdog and continue practicing your maths skills.

·      Measure the snow, in the same place somewhere in your garden at different times during the day.  Is the snow staying at the same depth or is it changing.  Can you make a chart to record your results?

Here is an example of how to record your data:

Depth of snow on the patio

P3/4 – can you work out the difference in snow depth between your first and last measurement?

HWB

·      Make up a dance routine to your favourite song.

·      Create a gymnastics routine using some of the balances, jumps, rolls and travelling movements we worked on last term.

Have a great day,

Mrs McKnight and Mrs Maclean

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

Good morning P1-4 and a Happy New Year!
