P1 and P2 have been practising words that are spelt with the long vowel sound ‘ee’.
When you are taking part in the ‘Methlick Spelling Bee’ you might like to make a hat to wear.
This is a great way to practise your measuring skills using a different measuring tool – the measuring tape.

For some this might be new, so we should all take time to talk about what we are thinking to our family. Remember when we are struggling or making mistakes we know that we are learning and our brains are working hard.
The focus of today will be on the language and discussion of what we are doing when we subtract or take something away. For this you can use any amount of objects it could be toys, coins or even some natural objects you find outside.
Follow the sway below.
Our next step is to focus on writing it down and using written numbers when we use practical materials.
Hello everyone,
Today’s Health and Wellbeing activity is to complete the ‘Stay at Home’ challenge set by Eco-Schools Scotland.
Answer the questions provided and create a presentation of your choosing – Sway, PowerPoint, poster or video. Mrs Webster has provided answers to the questions and her responses are there to offer support/guidance. If you are unsure of a specific question, read Mrs Webster’s response to get some ideas.
Everything you need to complete this activity can be found in the Sway below. Remember to share your work with your class teacher via Seesaw or Glow email.
As part of Methlick Eco Fortnight I was challenged to make one meat free meal. I made the recipe shown below. The black beans were a delicious substitution for the chicken I would usually use. Inspired by the grid, I then made the recipe into a little card to print off and add to my recipe book.
Do you have a recipe book where you keep all of your favourite recipes? Maybe you could share some of your favourite recipes with your teacher this week. Let us know if you make a meat free meal this week and add your recipe to your Seesaw journal if you can.
Hello everyone,
Last Tuesday, Miss Deans posted a lesson on how to write a persuasive speech. Hopefully many of you have completed this activity and are now ready to complete this follow-up task. If you have not completed the writing activity set by Miss Deans, follow the link below to do so –https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/as/methlickspring/2020/05/05/literacy-hot-persuasive-writing-interactive-lesson-with-a-sweet-treat-twist/
Today’s task will explain how to deliver a powerful and impactful speech. We will look at some famous speeches and think about what makes a presentation memorable. Our very own Mrs Webster took part in last week’s writing lesson and has already recorded her speech. Mrs Webster’s speech, along with everything else you will require to complete this activity, can be found in the Sway below.
If we think back to our last featured story ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’, each crayon wrote a letter expressing their personality and emotions. But in ‘Tidy’ we don’t really get a chance to hear from Pete and how we is feeling.
That means we need to look at the pictures and words more closely.
Pete goes through quite a variety of emotions and there are many examples in ‘Day the Crayons Quit’
The person who goes into the chair, becomes one of the characters in this instance it could be Pete or one of the animals watching Pete in the forest.
Whoever is not sitting in the hot seat can ask you questions relating to what has happened in the story.
Think of a variety of questions that start with the W5 (Who, What, When, Where, Why)
You can take the emotions you were discussing with family in hot seating and use them in creating a thought bubble.
With a bit of paper draw out a thought a bubble and write inside what Pete or one of the animals might be feeling. Remember to explain why, when we discuss the answer to why it is a good idea to use the word ‘because’.
I have given this activity an attempt taking a photo of me holding the thought bubble and showing the emotion to match.
Can you guess which part of the story my photos match to?
I look forward to seeing how you get on, send in your photos of your thought bubbles or add them to your sway.
Good morning everyone!
If you have watched Mrs Fraser’s assembly this morning, then you will be aware of the upcoming event – Methlick’s Big Night In!
On the 22nd of May, the staff at Methlick School will be putting on a quiz night for everyone in the community to participate in – all from the comfort of your own home. It will be filmed as a video and accessed through the ‘Methlick Primary’ YouTube channel. We will post up links to the video on both the blog and SeeSaw.
To publicise the event, we need your help! Mrs Fraser has created a poster but we need the talented pupils of Methlick School to design a new and improved version.
All the information for the event can be found on Mrs Fraser’s poster. We would be thrilled if you could help us and design your own.
Here are some helpful tips:
If you create a poster, please email a picture of it to your class teacher. This will help us to publicise the event so that everyone in the Methlick community knows about it! Please can all posters be completed by Friday (15th).
Thank you for your help and remember to set your calendars for May 22nd – Methlick’s Big Night In!
As tomorrow is a holiday, we won’t have another Feel-Good Friday activity until next week. However, I thought I’d set you a Literacy challenge to keep you going over the long weekend.
Today’s challenge is all about finding one word which links with each of three other words.
Click on the Sway below to access the quiz and to find out what to do.
It’s a tricky one, so good luck!
Have a lovely weekend. 🙂
As one of this week’s Numeracy focuses is Addition, and as we are also having an Eco fortnight, I thought I’d share this idea with you. It’s a good way to improve your adding skills, it reuses empty plastic bottles, and it’s a fun outdoor activity for the whole family.
Have a look at the Sway, which explains everything you need to do in order to have a game of Skittle Addition.
Don’t forget to come back on the blog to let me know how you got on and who got the best score in your family. Good luck!
