Primary 1 Monday 7th December, 2020

Good morning everyone,

I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend and managed to get out for some fresh air.  We are all looking forward to your return to school this week and I’m sure you’re looking forward to seeing each other.

Here are your tasks for today.

Usually on a Monday we talk about what we have been doing over the weekend.  Today I would like you to write me some lovely news instead.  Remember to use capital letters, full stops and finger spaces in your writing.  You should be able to spell some common words correctly and have a go at sounding out others.  Take care with letter formations and read over your news to make sure it makes sense.

spelling words – we,  into,  go,  got – practice the words using some of the activities from the Active Literacy homework booklet

I have put some other tasks on the Education City for you today in the red car. Try to complete at least two tasks.  You can use buttons, pasta etc. to help you count in the maths task and also try the quiz below.

Monday is P.E. day.  Go out into the garden to complete your daily mile.  Practice bouncing and catching a ball or go for a nice walk.  You could look for something interesting to show in class on your return.

Have a lovely day everyone.  Enjoy your tasks and work hard!

Earlier this term we all took time in our classes to talk about Bullying (some of you watched the ‘Big Anti-bullying Assembly’
too), how it affects children and what we can do to prevent bullying in our school. With your help we want to make sure that
everyone in Dunlop Primary & ECC knows what bullying is, what to do if they experience bullying and how we can stand up to
bullies, ensuring that our school continues to be a safe and happy place for us all.
To help promote this across the school we are asking you to be very creative and design a colourful, eye-catching school
anti-bullying logo/badge with a slogan that everyone from the ECC to P7 will understand and recognise. The winning logo and
slogan will then be made into posters and displayed across the school.
There will be a prize for the best entry in each class and for the overall school winner-good luck!
Remember to write your name and class on the back of your sheet and return it by Friday 11th December.

I hope you all have a great weekend.  Thank you for all your hard work this week!

Monday 7th December Primary 2 I.T

Monday 7th December I.T

Our focus when using the computers has been to learn the position of the keys on the keyboard.

Today I would like you to type your phoneme and tricky words into a word document. Once you have typed your words now write at least three sentences using these words. Remember capital letters and full stops. Now you can change the font, size and colour. This means you will need to highlight the words you want to change before you select what you want to do to them.

After that you could log onto Busy things (dunlopteacher  dunlop20) and play tree keys or bird word to improve your ability to find all the letters on the keyboard.

Monday 7th December Primary 2 Numeracy

Monday 7th December Numeracy

Let’s begin today by showing your grown-up that you can count in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. To help you do this you could sing along to the Scratch garden or Singing Walrus videos on Youtube.

Our focus in numeracy recently has been time. This week please continue to focus on o’clock and half past. Remember to show your grown up these times digitally. Of course if you can show other times then let your grown up see quarter past or quarter to.

 

Today I have uploaded a calendar for the month of December. Can you add some events that your family might take part in or events that happen in school? You might want to include the time it takes as well. (Perhaps you put up Christmas light between five o’clock and six o’clock on the 5th of December).Then you could give your calendar to a grown up at home and ask them some questions.

 

For example

On what day do I sledging?

When is Christmas jumper day?

On what day do I make a gingerbread house?

When do I put my Christmas tree up?
