Hallo everyone!

Hoping all are well, and sending a smile!

I have included more activities today , as tomorrow, Friday, and Monday 25th wouldn’t have been school days, but if you are looking for some activities, hopefully you can find something here or in past posts.

Numeracy

Today is the 20th May. How many different ways can you make 20?

Here’s a start: 19 + 1 = 20, 21- 1 =20, 18 + 1 + 1 = 20, 2 x 10 = 20

Using addition and subtraction ( and squares and triangles you can aslo use the times tables you know) find as many ways as you can. You might want to use household objects ( such as lego, pencils, pasta, cheerios, etc)  or your 100 square or rods online , selecting two 10 rods and finding how you can match the length of these,https://nrich.maths.org/2724 to help.

• Squares  Solve these problems:   There are 6 pairs of socks in the washing machine. How many socks are there altogether? You draw an alien world. There are  4 aliens. Each has 5 arms. How many arms do you draw? You make  8 cakes and decorate each with 2 chocolate buttons. How many chocolate buttons do you need?  In a game you score 15 in the first level, 5 in the second level and only 2 in the third level. What is your total score?

Literacy

• When I was writing your reports, I looked back at your writing and was SO IMPRESSED with how you have remembered the letter formation stories. Let’s try some writing today.               Here’s a reminder:Letter-formation-chartTry writing in the blank space in your jotter, remembering how to form the letter and its size. You might want to use different colours.Maybe you might like to try using the lines:
• Reading – Enjoy reading any story online or a book at home.

Other activities

• • Make a dinosaur         I found this activity on the National Museums Scotland site, where there are lots of activities to do at home, and videos to watch to find out more about things that interest you. Some are for older children, but you might be able to do this activity with an adult’s help.

• Play noughts and crosses. Make a board, you might like to use old milk container tops like this photo I found on Pintrest: Alternatively, just draw a grid and play by drawing x’s and o’s, or you could use the dot board in your Read Write Count bag.
• Practise some French: https://resources.collins.co.uk/page/CollinsVeryFirstDictionary/Very%20First%20French%20and%20Spanish%20pages/VeryFirst-Primer/VeryFirst/HTML/Collins_Very_First_Dictionaries_French_landing.htmYou might want to select the colours page  or the numbers one.
• Read Write Count bag. Here’s a reminder of lots of activities to do with the resources in the pack you received earlier in P2.      https://www.parentclub.scot/articles/p2-read-write-count-activity-bag
• Rainbow scavenger hunt Mrs Taylor challenged herself to find something for all the rainbow colours on her walk yesterday.  I found something red: something orange:something yellow:something green: something blue: something indigo: and I got stuck for something violet and cheated by using the boot I was wearing!
• Can you find things from all colours of the rainbow when you go on a walk? Or maybe in your home?
