P2/3 Home Learning 27/5/20
Hello everyone,
I hope you have all had a nice holiday weekend and been able to get outdoors some of the time. I am posting new home learning activities for you to try this week, remember to just do what you can, these are only suggestions. The important thing is to stay safe and healthy. Have a nice week everyone.
Take care, I miss you all.
Mrs McLachlan
Literacy
P2 and P3 – Look at your Active Literacy sounds sheet and practise the new words for the ‘y’ sound. Most of these words end in ‘y’ but one has the sound in the middle. Your words for this week are fly, shy, cry, sky, why, dry and myself. Practise writing the words for that sound in your laminated Elkonin Boxes in your pack and see if you can think of any more words ending in ‘y’. Write 3 sentences using some of your new words.
Bug Club – Reading
Log on to Bug Club and read 2 of your books. Ask an adult to help with any tricky words and see if you can find any of your new spelling words in your reading book. Well done to everyone who has been reading their books.
Writing
For writing this week you are going to make a sandwich for your lunch of your choice. You will need to ask an adult first if you can do this. After you have eaten your delicious sandwich you have to write a set of instructions on what you did. These instructions have to be numbered in the correct order. You will need to write what you did first for example:-
- I got two slices of bread from the bread bin.
then what you did next
2. I spread each side with butter.
List in order until you have finished writing your instructions. We have written instructions in class before, can you remember?
I have attached a link below for a style you can use. You could either print it or just use it as an idea.
Numeracy
P2 – We are going to revise Number Bonds to 20. This is something we need to keep practising which will help us with mental calculations. I have attached a link below for you to print the sheets you need. This is a challenge this week to see if you can complete the easy sheet, the medium or the tricky one. Some people might want to try all three.
P3 – We are going to be adding a 2 digit number to a 2 digit number using partitioning. Remember we were trying this in class just before we finished.
Here is an example:-
32 + 26 =
You add the tens then you add the ones.
Try the sums on the attached sheet. If you can’t print the sheet just copy out the sums that you can see. If you click on the link you will still see the sheet.
Adding a 2 digit number to a 2 digit number
P2 and P3 – Go on to Topmarks site and go into addition and subtraction. Play the Blast Off game ‘Count on and Back’. Start at 30 to 60 then challenge yourself and go up to 60-99. The link is below.

P2 and P3 – Continue logging on to Sum Dog and playing games.
Stem – I have attached below a 30 Day Lego Challenge Grid. You can pick what challenges you want to complete this week if you have lego at home.
Music – Mrs Hill has prepared some activities for you.

Miss Lee’s SLC Groups
Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. It’s so nice to see the sunshine has come back, and hope that you have been able to go outside and enjoy it a bit especially after the rain and winds at the weekend. As I’m posting this on a Wednesday I have cut down the number of activities for you. Hope that you enjoy having a go at some of them, but there is no pressure to get through them. The most important thing is that you are happy and healthy at the moment.
Literacy
Bug Club – Go in and have a read of one of your books with someone that you live with. A few of you have new books too because you have been very busy reading which is fantastic. Don’t forget to do the quiz.
Spelling Challenge – In the packs that you got delivered there is a “Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check” sheet for spelling. Put this into your overwriting pocket and use it to practice these common words that have the ‘sh’ sound in them.
- shed
- shoe
- shop
- wash
- wish
- dish
Talking & Listening – In your new Home Learning Pack there is a set of sheets to help you make a Time Capsule or Memory Box for this time that you are at home. Why not do the Interview page. Pick someone in your family and ask them the questions that are there and note down their answers if you can.
Numeracy
Shape Hunt – This week can you do a 3D shape hunt around your house? Use your white board and divide it into 4 sections like this.
|
Cubes Cubes are like this. There faces are squares. |
Spheres A Sphere is a ball. |
|
Cylinders Cylinders are like this. |
Cuboids Cuboids look like this. There faces are rectangles. |
Can you go around your house and look to see what you can find that are these shapes writing down or getting someone to help you write them down.
Outdoor Maths Challenge – Pick two of your Numeracy Challenge cards from your new pack and have a go at them. You could let me know which ones you’ve tried by leaving a comment below.
Online
There’s plenty of number and shape activities you could try in Sumdog and Topmarks.
Science – How to Make a Sparkly Volcano 
Why not have a go at making your very own sparkly volcano. The reaction between the baking soda and the vinegar causes the a gas to form (carbon dioxide) which causes all the fizzing.
You will need:-
- Tall thin container
- 3 tbsp baking soda
- 120ml vinegar
- Food colouring
- Glitter
- Baking tray
Instructions
Place your container on the baking tray, this will help catch the mess. Add the baking soda into the container. Pour in some food colouring and glitter. Then quickly pour in the vinegar and watch your sparkly eruption take place.
Something Else To Try
This week Ali, Niamh and I tried a new recipe for Choc Chip Cookies and they turned out really well and passed the taste test too. So if you fancy having a go at these here’s the recipe.
Choc Chip Cookies
You will need:- 115g soft butter
55g caster sugar
140g plain flour
40g chocolate chips
- Heat the oven to 180C.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy.
- Mix in the flour and chocolate chips with your hands until you have a dough.
- Take portions of dough and roll it in between your hands to make a ball about the size of a walnut.
- Put the cookies onto a baking tray slightly apart from one another and flatten them with your fingers or the palm of your hand.
- Cook in the oven for 10-12minutes.
- Let them cool on a wire rack.
I hope you are all doing well and will be in phoning to find out how you all are and hopefully you will be able to have some fun trying some of these activities.
Missing you all.

SLC 2 and Mrs Blaney’s group 27th May
Hi everyone,
I am so pleased the lovely weather is back and I hope you enjoyed the long weekend. As it is a short week, I have included a few new activities but also want you to go back to the previous weeks and revise your keywords and sounds. Please get outside this week and enjoy the sunny weather as I think it has to be really warm by the end of the week!!
Miss you all,
Mrs Blaney x
Literacy
*I haven’t included any new words this week to allow others time to catch up and for some of you to revise. Remember you can use the blank board games to practice the words. Maybe you could play bingo this week or use chalk to draw a hopscotch board in your garden and say the words as you land on a square. Here is a reminder of the words you already have:
Green words Yellow
a in that all
and of the as
he is to be
I it was can
*I have attached a link to a story that my wee boy enjoys listening to. Click on the link and listen.
I would like you to discuss the story with someone in your house and think about all the colours your hair has been over the past weeks (my hair has been a lot of these colours!!) Can you choose 2 colours that you feel your hair has been and write about both of those colours and why you have felt this way. Draw a picture to match what you have written about.
*Remember the David Walliams website has stories you can listen to. Why not listen to a story while you chill out in the sun?

Maths
As the weather is going to be lovely this week, I have included some activities that you can complete outside.
*Click on the link below and you will see a copy of a scavenger hunt that you can use in your garden or when on your walk. You do not need to print this; you could ask an adult to copy it on to paper for you.
*When I was a wee girl, I loved to make daisy chains. Can you make your own daisy chains? Here are a few ideas of how you could use them:
-Make chains of set numbers of daisies; 10 daisies and count how many groups of 10 you can make
-Make a chain as long as you can and use it to measure objects in your garden. Can you find things that are longer, shorter or the same length as your daisy chain.
-Challenge a member of your family and see who can make the longest daisy chain in a set amount of time.
-You could use the chains to make numbers and letters
Symmetry outside. Watch the video below and have a go at making your own symmetrical pictures. The video shows using leaves and twigs but you could have a go at making a picture using any objects from your home or garden. (Adults, remember Art Attack??*)
