Literacy Grid 1 – Letter Formation mild challenge – Curly Caterpillar Letter Family

 

Letter Formation

Choose a family of letters to practise each day.

Watch the videos to help you form the letters

 

Good morning boys and girls,

I spent yesterday making some resources to help you with this challenge.

These resources help you learn to form the

curly caterpillar family of letters.

They almost always begin with a curved line to the left.

The letter can begin at the top or sometimes in the middle but they NEVER begin at the bottom.

Before you start to form your letters warm up your hand by creating curved patterns.

Here are some ideas for covering an egg shape with curved patterns.

 

Remember to

  • check your seating position, pull the chair in
  • put your feet flat on the floor
  • use your helping hand to hold the paper
  • hold the pencil with a comfortable grip – sometimes we call this froggy fingers

These videos will help you learn how to form the curly caterpillar short letters

Information for parents and carers

I can write leaflet – I sent this home with P1 children in their journal

Any opportunity to practise these different strokes will help your child with their letter formations.

You do the Marking – Literacy MILD

Morning Everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed our first day of online learning and are ready to start Day 2.  I’ve decided to keep my own Learning Journal completing some of the activities from the grids. Yesterday I decided to write a story about Thumper from the Mild column.

I thought about the W5 (who, what, when, where & why) and then decided to write my story. One thing my P2 class know very well about me is that I make so many mistakes and the pupils always help me to correct my work. Sadly I forgot to check my work before I took a photo of it.

Could you check my work for me, what mistakes have I made and what should I do to fix them?

I look forward to reading your feedback, Mr.Mutch

Have a G.R.E.A.T Day!

Tuesday Tunes: HOT Literacy Haiku Poem Challenge- Miss Deans

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you are all settled into our home learning experience and have had time to relax and chill and do fun things!

You may still be getting to grasp with our learning grids and trying to decide which task to do first, one of our hot literacy challenges is to create a Haiku poem, FUN FACT ALERT!!!

Did you know that Haiku poems can feature in songs,  so far I have found lots that unfortunately you may not know but your parents would, HOWEVER I have managed to find one that actually we have featured in an assembly before,  Can anyone correctly guess this  song ?  Please leave your answers in the comments.

Thanks Miss Deans 🙂

The Adventures of Littlecat

Good morning everyone!

Meet Littlecat – my lovely 9 year old tabby.

She’s very friendly and pretty smart too.  I’ve trained her to sit, lie down, give a paw and jump up on her hind legs.  However, she also likes getting up to mischief.  Some of you may already have heard about her exploits – like sleeping in the kitchen drawer, getting stuck on the garage roof, or hiding 56 (yes, 56!) clothes pegs under the tumble-dryer.  She would carry them in her mouth, line them up in front of the tumble-dryer, and shoot them under it with her paw as if she was scoring a goal.

Imagine if she came to stay with you … what kind of adventures would you have together?  Who would get into more trouble – you or her?

Why not write a short story about what you would both get up to? Remember – she IS mischievous – and very smart!

Have fun.  🙂

 

Es tiempo de Español

Buenos días a todos,

I wish you had a good start of the week. Today Martes 03 de Marzo, it is time for our Spanish activity of the week. First, I will explain your task. After that,  I will do a short review of the topic (so you can remember and to help anyone who might be helping you)  and then it’s your turn!

Click in here so you can see your challenge.

Hola, ¿Cómo te llamas?
Today you will be practicing a short conversation in Spanish with someone at home, or a puppet or toys which ever you think would be more fun! We have done it before so you can try at home.
Go to this Sway

Hope you enjoy it.

Nos vemos (see you)

Health and Wellbeing : Grid 1. Hot Challenge. Mrs Fraser has a go !

I liked the look of the mindfulness colouring challenge so I decided to be brave and have a go.

I’ve never done a sway before but it was really easy to do. I played around with it and I had fun choosing my font and background.

Click on the box arrows  to view my sway. Leave me a comment for feedback and have a go yourself. You can share your design in a sway or draw it in your journal.

I can’t wait to see what you create.

Mrs Fraser

 

 

PE with Joe Wicks

As my P3s know I love a ‘brain break‘ and this one was just what I needed today.  At 9am every weekday morning Joe Wicks has promised to upload a live workout to keep our spirits high and fitness levels up.  My son and I had a great time exercising together and hearing about all the countries around the world that were working out with us.  You can find the workouts on Body Coach Youtube channel.  This morning over 800 000 households around the world joined in! Let us know if you have been doing anything to keep your body and mind healthy.
