Home Learning Week beginning 1st July

We are continuing to work with our spelling words from last week as we were so busy with all of our Health activities that we didn’t get much of a chance to practise our spelling. So please practise last week’s words at home again.

In Maths, Primary 1s were comparing numbers to 20 last week. We looked at larger / smaller numbers and found the largest / the smallest number out of a range of numbers. This week we are looking at ordering numbers from smallest to largest / largest to smallest.

Please cut the number cards apart and do some of the suggested activities. You can keep the cards and activities at home.

Primary 2s have been practising their 2 times table.

Cut out the flashcards and time your child to see how many times table sums they can answer in 30s. Record their score on the sheet below with the date to show how they improved over the week.

Homework

Due to the Easter holidays this week, there will be no homework issued for Primary 1/2. Books have been uploaded onto Boost Learning to consolidate the reading that has been taking place in class over the last few weeks. These can be practised at home between now and 1st May.

Class Update week of 23rd March

This week we have continued to work on our subtraction skills in maths. We looked at how to find a missing number by using cubes and number lines to help us.

We also continued to learn about 2D shapes. We looked in more detail at the properties of 2D shapes and identified sides and corners. We also used 2D shapes to create some lovely art.

We practised our phonics and spelling with different activities this week. P2s practised writing a description as part of our The Snail and the Whale book study and we have started working on a lapbook for our book study.

In our play activities we continued to develop our fine motor skills. We also explored free writing by creating a Snail and the Whale book, working with CVC words on a big sheet of paper and by finishing our information booklets. We practised our maths skills throughout the week with different games and followed instruction when working with construction materials.

It has been such a busy week, we are definitely ready for the weekend and a shorter week next week!

Archaeology Scotland

Archaeology Scotland visited the school last week and we were learning all about what archaeologists do. We got to be archaeologists and dig through different materials to see what we could find.
