Hello there!

I hope everyone is safe and well and you are all enjoying the beautiful weather. 🌞

Again, this week I have listed some suggestions of activities you can do with your family but these are not essential as you should still have plenty of activities you can complete in your pack. Please remember that learning lifeskills, playing games and getting outside are all valuable learning activities.

Literacy 📝

• Last week you made alphabet cards. This week I would like you to make another set but write the capital letters. Use the cards and lay them out in the correct order. Ask an adult to hide the cards around a room and find the matching small and capital letters.
• Can you practise writing the capital letters outside? Maybe you could use an old paint brush and water and write them on the path or wall?
• Use the letter cards and make small words with the middle sound -i-, -o-,-u-. Eg. sit, nip, hot, cop, nut, bun. You could pick some of your words and draw pictures to match.
• Go on a scavenger hunt around your house finding something that starts with each letter sound. We did this in our house and it was great fun. The letter ‘z’ was a tricky one!!
• Please keep using Bug Club and read and enjoy listening to stories that people in your house can read to you.

Numeracy 🧮

Group 1

• Continue to practise reading and writing numbers to 100. Ask an adult to say a number to 100 and you can write the number that comes before and after the number.
• Play this game

• Write out all the double addition sums you can make up to 10+10. Use stones, beads, pasta etc to lay out the sums so you can count the answer. How many of these sums can you learn the answer to without counting out objects? Ask an adult to test you!!

Group 2

• Write out the 4 and 8 times table. Can you play bingo using the answers to these tables as you did last week?
• Continue to practise counting in 2’s and 5’s.
• Play some of these games

Maths for all 📏

• Do you have a measuring tape at home? Use the tape and go around your home finding things that are smaller than 100cm. You might need an adult to help you. Remember 100 centimetres is the same as 1 metre!!

Fun for all 😁

• I hope you are all managing to try to tie your laces. I look forward to seeing how well you can do it when we return to school.
• Remember to help around your house more. Can you make your own bed or help to make lunch?
• Our new topic this term is Our Town. Have a look on google maps for the area or town you live. Can you find your street or where someone in your family stays?
• Try and collect pieces of rubbish over the next week as you could use them as part of our topic work.

Most importantly please all stay safe and well.🤗

Take care,

Mrs Blaney x

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all staying safe and well and are getting outside to enjoy this lovely weather we are having.  I am missing you all but I am sure you are all enjoying your time with your family.

I am keeping in touch with you to give you your home learning activities for this week.  Try some if you can but remember to go outside to play as well if you have a garden.  A daily walk with your family is another way of learning and I have an activity for you this week to complete on your walk.

Take care everyone and stay safe.  I will be in touch again next Monday.

Mrs McLachlan

Literacy

P2 and P3 – Look at your Active Literacy sounds sheet and practise the new words for the ‘ew’ sound.  Practise writing the words for that sound in your laminated Elkonin Boxes in your pack and try to make some new words of your own.  Write 3 sentences using one of your words in each sentence.

Bug Club – Reading

Log in to Bug Club and read 2 of your books.  Another reading activity for this week is to see if you can find any ‘ew’ words in your reading book or choose a book you might have at home and see if you can find any ‘ew’ words and list them.

Writing

We have been learning about ‘adjectives’ in class and for your writing this week I would like you to try  ‘Describe the Monster’ activity.  I have attached the link below for this sheet and you have a word bank of adjectives you can use in your writing to describe the picture of the monster.  Remember to write in sentences using capital letters and full stops.  If you can’t print the sheet you could make up your own adjectives to describe a monster but remember to write in sentences.

Numeracy

Use Topmarks, Hit the Button link below to practise doubles.  Start with the lower ones then see how high you can go.  P3’s could try the division section to keep practising this at home.  We have done this in class.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Keep using laminated boards to try addition and subtraction calculations at home, ask a family member to make some sums for you.  Remember you can use a number line to help you if you need to.

We are going to be learning about Data Handling so as part of this you can complete a Spring Themed Tally Chart.  Open the link below to access this and print it.

Stem

When you are out a daily walk with an adult you could go on a plants and flowers hunt.   I have attached  the sheet below and you could tick all the plants and flowers that you see on your walk.  This could be done over the week because you might go different walks and see different plants and flowers.  If you don’t have a printer you could make your own list of different flowers or plants you see when out your walk.  An adult might help you with the names of these.  You might even have some in your garden.

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely Easter holiday and managed to get outside some of the time to enjoy the sunshine.  I know some of you will have enjoyed going long walks with your family and if you are lucky to have a garden managed to get out to play.

I am just keeping in touch with you all and hope you are all well.  I will post new home learning activities every Monday for you to do if you can.  Here are some activities you could try this week to help with your learning.  You can still use some of the work in your packs as well.

Stay safe everyone.

Mrs McLachlan

Literacy

P2 and P3 Look at your Active Literacy sounds sheet in your pack and practise the new words for the ‘au’ sound.  Practise writing the words for that sound in your laminated Elkonin Boxes in your pack and write sentences using some of these words.  You could also try and make up words of your own with the sound.

Bug Club – Log on to Bug Club and read 2 of your books.

Writing

Write a Book Review using the style I have attached below about one of your reading books or if you don’t have access to a printer write a short personal story about what you did over the Easter holidays.  Remember you can draw pictures about your writing.

T-L-1069-Book-Review-Writing-Frame

Numeracy

P2 and P3 – Practise writing out your 2, 5 and 10 times tables and if you feel confident enough your 3 and 4 times tables.

Practise adding and subtracting using your laminated boards either using dice to make up sums or ask a family member to make sums for you to try.

Log on to Topmarks if you can and practise your times tables and number bonds playing Hit the Button Game.  Here is the link:- https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Stem

Our new topic is all about Plants.  If you can ask an adult to help you and if you have the resources available I thought you could plant seeds in a pot and watch them grow while you are at home.  You will need:-  seeds (sunflower, cress, beans or any you can get), soil, plant pot and water.

or if you don’t have the resources you could

Try making a toy parachute either on your own or with an adult.  You could find resources around the house for this i.e. plastic carrier bag or bin liner, thread, wool or string and a heavy object for the bottom.  This could be a thread reel, a toy soldier or anything with weight.  Plasticine could also be used.  If you don’t have the resources this is fine.  Once you have made your parachute try flying it outside.

Music

Mrs Hill has prepared some music activities for you.  Just follow the link below.

Hi
We hope you are all safe, well and happy and have enjoyed time with your family during Easter. We have updated tasks for children to work on this week. We understand from speaking with parents that it can be a challenge getting children to complete some tasks as they are out of their routine so would like to reinforce that these are suggestions only and should only be completed if they don’t cause distress to children.
We will be in touch with everyone in due course. In the meantime, stay safe and have fun.

MS McMillan and Miss Stobbs.
