I have enlisted the help of some amazing bee keepers to help us with this grid task. From just a small request they have produced an amazing amount of videos filled with lots of facts for us to listen to!
To help with writing the factfile there is also the youtube link on the grid. In the sway at the beginning you will see a checklist you can use when watching the videos. When we are listening out for facts it is always a good idea to know what you are listening out for.
Please enjoy the interview with our special guest!
Bee Keepers Go LIVE!
Are you ready to start writing?
In your journal you will need a blank page.
You can save the top of the page for when we do our picture and labelling next week.
You can choose how many sentences filled with facts you would like to write.
If you are describing the bee…. your sentence may start with.
It has…
The bee has…
If you are telling us about where it lives… your sentence may start with.
It lives in…
The bee stays in…
You can find bees in…
If you are telling us about what the bee does… your sentence may start with.
The bee will…
The bee must…
Bees can…
If you are telling us some interesting facts… I’m going to leave that to you as you might find a fact our bee keepers or myself have never heard of.
Enjoy writing your factfiles with the help of our Amazing Bee Keepers!
When I wander I always spot a change of some sort or other. I love picking natural things up and collecting.
I wonder what you might collect on your wander?
Primary 1 made fantastic dragons and fairies after collecting in the school grounds!
Primary 1’s great ideas inspired me to go out and collect to make a reading book for you. Can you spot what I have collected to make the pictures with?
Now when I think about what I have learned about dandelions I would like to have a lion; and a sun in the grass would be a portal to somewhere special in my next story!
What ideas do you have?
This mild challenge encourages you and your family to investigate the different types of plants, creatures and their habitats – where they live – in your local area. These plants, creatures and us depend on each other to be healthy and survive.
A love of being outdoors and being curious about where we live and what links all living things is a never ending source of learning.
We hope you have enjoyed learning about dandelions – more information to follow!
What a lot of effort you have made learning to write letters.
At this time when we are apart from so many people we care about I think that it is such a lovely thing to send a letter.
Here are some new ideas to have fun with.
A BIG CHALLENGE
If you have been collecting natural materials you might like to decorate a letter with them. Have a go at hitting the petals, leaves with a hammer to add their colour to the pages etc – have a look! You might need some help from an adult with needles and hammers!
Here’s another Easter Literacy challenge for everyone. How many words you can make from ‘HAPPY EASTER’?
Read the instructions in the Sway below, and challenge other family members to take part. I’d recommend doing this over a number of days so that you can keep adding to your total.
Don’t forget to write the list of words in your Learning Journals, and leave a comment for me here, to let me know how many you have managed to find. I’m going to give it a go and I challenge all the teachers and Mrs Fraser to take part as well!
There are different rules for Mild, Spicy and Hot, so click on the Sway to find out more.
