See you soon, From Miss Mackay

Good Morning P1/2 šŸ™‚ I cant believe that this is my last message/post on our class blog. I also can’t believe that this is your last day of P1 and P2. Thank you so so so much for all your hard work and perseverance when learning at home. Your Mum’s, Dad’s and Carers have done a fantastic job helping you learn new and exciting things. I have loved seeing your pictures on Teams and Twitter of what you’ve been up to. I cannot wait to hear about your exciting stories when you come back in August. Please come see me and tell me. Today we would usually have an end of term party so have a dance around your living room today listening to your favourite songs. Or, watch your favourite movie on the couch. What ever you do, make sure it’s something that makes you happy šŸ™‚Ā  I have absolutely loved being your teacher this year! You have brought so much happiness and joy and so many memories!Ā I know you will all do amazing in P2 and P3! ā¤ļøĀ Have the best Summer. I miss you all so much and can’t wait to see you in August. I bet you’ve all grown about 10 feet! Take care, stay safe and make the best memories. Sending lots of hugs ā¤ļøĀ Miss Mackay xx

Home Learning Week 12

Monday 22nd June 2020

Good Morning St Pius Family. I can’t quite believe that this is the last week of term. This is always an emotional week in school – even more so now! I hope you are all safe and well. I hope you are getting to spend some socially distanced time with other families and friends.

Here are some suggested activities for the week ahead. Please enjoy the beautiful sunshine too!

Home Learning Week 11

Monday 15th June 2020

And just like that, it’s a new week! Happy Monday everyone. How are we all doing? I hope you are all well and doing ok. I can’t believe there are only 2 weeks left of the school term. If you were in School during this time, we would be reflecting a lot on our past year and talking about things we are looking forward to in P2 and P3. There are some activities in the grid this week for this. Remember, it’s important to talk to someone at home how you’re feeling. It’s ok not to be ok all the time šŸ™‚ I’m sending lots of virtual hugs.

Here is the Home Learning grid for the week ahead.

National Numeracy Day

Happy Numeracy Day everyone!

It’s a day to celebrate all your mathematical knowledge and expertise. I have adapted some activities that you can get outside and do in your garden/local area (on your walk).

We have done some of these in class before.

National Numeracy Day Activities

Here are some pictures of what I tried out:

Finding and recognising numbers in your house, garden or local community on your daily walk. See if you can find all numbers to 10 or even 20!

P2 you have been learning about place value. In my picture my leaves represent my Tens and my stones represent my Ones. Can you find other objects to show the value of numbers to 100.

I made my own Tens Frames using grass blades, stones and leaves. Find a sheltered spot to lay them down – I didnā€™t the first time and they blew away!!

Ask someone at home to give you a list of sums and work out the answers using the Tens Frames. If you are adding within 10 you will need 10 objects. If you are adding within 20 you will need 20 objects and 2 Tens Frames.

Please take some photos and post on our Teams or School Twitter page. Iā€™d love to see what you get up to today.

Have fun!

Love,
