Hello everyone,

I hope you have had a nice week and managed to do some fun outdoor activities with your family.  I am just checking in with you to give you your Home Learning activities for this week.  Remember to just do what you can, these are only suggestions.  The most important thing is to stay safe and well.   I miss you all.

Take care.

Mrs McLachlan

Literacy

P2 and P3 – Look at your Active Literacy sounds sheet and practise the new words with the ‘o-e’ spelling.  Your words for this week are home, rope, stole, awoke, hope and smoke.  Practise writing the words for this spelling in your laminated Elkonin Boxes in your pack.  Write 3 sentences using some of your new words.  I have put a link below to Geraldine the Giraffe for you to watch to help with your new spelling pattern.

Bug Club – Reading

Log on to Bug Club and read 2 of your books.  Try reading the book to an adult once you have read it yourself and ask them to point out words for you to read.  Well done to everyone who has been reading their books.

Writing

For writing this week we are going to be writing instructions on How to Plant Sunflower Seeds.  Watch the short video clip below on BBC Bitesize about planting sunflower seeds and then write a set of instructions on what you do.  We wrote instructions 2 weeks ago so just set them out the same way.  Remember what did they do first, second, third and fourth.  I have also put a set of instructions sheet below for you to print out and use to help you with your writing.  If you don’t have a printer just write them on a sheet of paper.

Instructions on Planting a Sunflower

Numeracy

P2 – This week Primary 2 are working on Subtration to 20.  I have put in a link for you to print a sheet with calculations up to 20.  There is a number line attached to help you if you need it.  If you can’t print the sheet you can still view it and you could copy the sums.

Subtraction to 20

P3 – This week Primary 3 are working on times tables.  You are completing a missing number times tables sheet for the 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables.  Challenge yourself and see how many you can complete.

Missing number timestables

P2 and P3 – Go on to Topmarks and practise the Subtraction Grid below.  You can start with one missing number then you can challenge yourself for two.  See how high you can go.  Can you try some up to 100?

Art – This week I would like you to make, paint or draw a picture of a Sunflower or lots of small Sunflowers.  Look at the pictures below to help you see what they look like.  You can either use paint, pencils, pens or make a 3D effect one using different materials.

 

Stem – We are going to be making a Cress Caterpillar this week.  If you can get a packet of cress seeds or you might have some in the house, that would be great.   You need egg shells, cotton wool, paint or pens and cress seeds.  I have attached a link for a video below to help you.  Have fun.

Hi, 

Hello everyone and I hope you are all well. I hope the weather improves again so we can all get out in the sunshine. Remember to do what you can and don’t feel any pressure to complete these activities if you are still working on the previous weeks.

Literacy  

• This week I would like you to look at the ‘ss’ sound. Keep the words that you make to 4 letter words without making them too tricky for the moment. Here are some suggestions; mess, loss, boss, kiss. How many can you make? If you kept the letter cards you made weeks ago then add an extra ‘s’ card and use these to make the words. 

• Remember to use the blank board games to practise your words. These are good to use for reading the words you have made.

• How are you getting on with the green and yellow words? Remember I only give new words each week for those that need them. Just keep working on the ones you are comfortable with, there is no need to learn them all!! You can use lots of different materials to help you spell (you don’t always need paper and a pencil!!). Try chalk, paint, playdough, stones, beads etc. You could ask someone to write the ones you know onto one of the game boards, play the game and read the words. I have added another 2 yellow words but please do not feel you have to read and write all of these, just do what you can! 

Green words	Yellow words
and, a, he, I, in, of, is, it, that, the, to, was	all, for, his, as, have, be, not, can, new

 

• Here is a song you can listen to that has many of the keywords in it.

• Click on the link below where you will be taken to the BBC Bitesize site. This week we will look at capital letters and fullstops. Remember a capital letter comes at the start of a sentence and a full stop is at the end. Try the games and have a go at activity 3. Can you draw a picture of a pirate using some of the words you used to describe a pirate?

• Now you are a whizz at sentence writing can you try to unscramble the words on page 1 of the following link. Ask an adult to write the words on to pieces of paper so you can move them around to help you make the sentence. 

Activity Sheet

• Remember to log in to Bug Club a few times each week. I can check how many books you are reading and I can give you more books if needed.

Fun for all

• This week is Bike week. If you have a bike then take it with you every time your family go on their walk. Remember we were reading the story ‘Flying Fergus’ by Chris Hoy before lockdown? I have attached a link to a website where you can listen to a short part of the story. You could try and design your own super bike just like the one Fergus had in the story? I wonder what magical and clever things your bike could do?

• Here is another link to a drawing activity. This time you will learn to draw an ice cream. When you have finished the drawing part you could add your own design to make your ice cream cone look really delicious.
