Numeracy Thursday 3rd December

Good morning everyone.

For numeracy today, I am setting you a one-minute challenge.

First, ask your grown-up to start the timer, when you think a minute is up as them to stop. Were you close? Ask those who live in your house to try it. Who was the closest?

Next I would like you to estimate how many times you can do each item in the table in one minute. Write down your estimate and then ask a grown-up to time you. Did you manage more or less? Did it feel like a minute? I have left the last box empty, you can think of your own challenge to complete in one minute.

Now you could ask your grown-up to join in? How did they get on?

Thursday 3rd December Primary 2 P.E

Good Morning!

On a Thursday we normally have P.E. Our focus has been on small ball skills (throwing/catching). The children have also been using a small bat and ball to improve their hand-eye coordination. If you have a ball and bat at home you could show your grown-up what we have been working on.  Remember to warm up first, perhaps you could be the teacher and lead the warm-up for your family.

We have also explored large ball skills. At home you could show off some of the throws you have been learning. Remember only throw the ball if your partner is ready ( the children can discuss how to show someone you are ready to catch the ball).

 

If the weather isn’t great why not try some cosmic yoga for kids on Youtube?

Have fun

Wednesday 3rd December

Literacy

Good morning everyone!

Remember to keep looking over your tricky words and phoneme.

On a Thursday, we normally write in our taught writing jotter. We have been focusing on using time words in our writing.

  • o’clock
  • half past
  • today/yesterday/tomorrow
  • morning/afternoon/evening

For today I would like you imagine you have gone into a time-travelling machine and ended up in the past – or perhaps, future.

Remember to talk about

  • What you see?
  • What does the place look like?
  • Whom do you meet?
  • What do they look like?
  • What do they eat and drink?

Remember to read your story, does it make sense? What about your handwriting? Do you have finger spaces? Have you made sure your letters are the correct size?

I can’t wait to read all your stories.

Primary 2 Wednesday 2nd December Teeth and Healthy Eating

Leave a comment

Our topic this term has been about teeth and healthy eating. The children have been exploring the sugar content of  a variety of foods. At home choose some items from your food cupboard/fridge and put the items in order from least amount to largest amount of sugar. Do this without checking the labels and then look and see if you were correct.

Were you surprised by any of the items.

Below is an activity to test your knowledge of teeth and healthy eating.
