Weekly Home Learning (2)

Hi guys!  Here are some activities you could complete this week. Please share any photos you have with us!  Hope everyone is staying safe – ❤

Numeracy 1⃣2⃣3⃣
What is the weather like today? 🌧 If it is raining, why not find an empty container (or carefully cut off the top of a plastic bottle) , find a flat surface outside and measure how much water has gathered in the container at the end of the day? (Don’t have a ruler? There’s an App for that!)
Or
Is it sunny outside? 🌞 If you have chalk and a flat surface why not trace round some shadows? You could draw round Mum or have have Mum draw round you! Leave the shadow for exactly one hour then go back to the same spot. Has the shadow changed position or shape?

Life-skills 🏡
Help with the washing by loading clothes from the laundry basket into the washing machine. Can you separate the clothes into their different colours? What about tops and bottoms? How many items of clothing have gone in? How many pairs of socks can you match?🧦

Literacy 🔤
One of favourite books to read in class when winding down is ‘The Dinosaur That Pooped a Planet!’ By T.Fletcher and D.Poynter. Why not listen to the story together (https://youtu.be/a82WeOmE5YM)
And complete a dinosaur craft project together. My personal favourite is making a skeleton out of pasta!
 🦖📖

 

Or try some shower writing. Make a room hot and steamy, take in a mirror and see how many shapes, patterns or letters you can make on the mirror.  See if you can guess what each other has drawn! 🚿〰

Music/Dance/P.E 💃🕺
Have you checked out Mrs Murray’s dance routines on Youtube? Find the links to these dances and loads more activities on our school website homepage under the heading ‘Home Learning Activities’.

*BONUS ACTIVITY*
Lockdown Journal! When it is safe to do so, all of us will be able to go back to school. I thought it would be really interesting for us all to have a great big catch up when that time comes. Why not start creating a daily or weekly journal of the time you are spending at home with family? This could take any format whether it be taking a photo a day and storing it in am album or asking an adult to help write a simple diary. I have included a template that you could use or borrow ideas from 🙂 We can’t wait to hear all about what you’ve been up to.

*These templates can be found and download for free on the Twinkl website.

Hello Daisies!

We are missing you all lots, and hope you are enjoying the sunshine.

At school, we were learning all about bugs and insects by watching ‘A Bug’s Life’.

See the source image

Miss Couser went on a bug hunt in the park and found lots of different insects!

Have a hunt in your garden or local park to see if you can find any. You could take pictures with a camera or phone and share them in the comments.

Spring Holiday Fun

Hi Daisies!

We hope you all had lots of fun over the spring holidays, and got to enjoy the sunshine. The Daisies ladies have been busy doing lots of different things, but we have been missing Willowbank and all the boys in the Daisies class lots!

 

Miss Couser spent the holiday doing lots of tiding and painting in her house. She also enjoyed having a few pajama days reading books and watching lots of movies, and spending lots of time with her rabbit, Arlo, who enjoyed the extra cuddles.

 

 

Mrs Moran has been busy decorating too, and did a great job of painting her garden fence. She has been spending lovely time with her family and made their own ‘Countdown’ inspired game which was great fun. Mrs Moran also did a very important job by helping Mr Moran to cut his hair!

Miss Wilson has been enjoying the lovely weather and has been spending time in her garden planting flowers, and has gone for some walks at the seaside. She has also spent time relaxing and reading books.

Mrs Cogswell has been enjoying the sunshine with her family and has gone of lots of walks. She has been showing off her art skills making rainbow pictures for her window to thank everyone who is working hard to help each other.

What activities did you do during the holidays? We hope you had lots of fun!

Welcome Back Stars Class

Hi everyone. Mrs Gardner here. The ladies and I are all missing you. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine as we definitely are.                                                                      I have been tidying the garage, doing some gardening and have been doing facetime quizzes with my family which have been great fun.

Mrs Westerman has been tidying out her huge shed. She had so much rubbish she had to hire a skip! She has been enjoying walks with her dog, Storm, and took this photo of some sheep she saw the other day.

Mrs Logan has been busy with her children, Adam and Amy. They have been doing treasure hunts, baking and enjoying walks. They made a wee family rock garden with their names on. Mrs Logan has also been keeping fit with Joe Wicks and online Zumba classes.

Mrs Chisholm has been doing lots of activities with her children Evie and Owen. They have enjoyed going to the park, made lovely ‘Thank You’ rainbows for their window and had a yummy barbeque the other day.

Every Monday I will post an activity for you to do with your family, if you wish. It is not compulsory but might be fun to do. The theme this term is, ‘The Great Outdoors’ so I thought it would be nice to make ‘Natures Crowns’ or ‘Natures Wristbands’.

You can use twigs, flowers, leaves or clippings from bushes. The choice is yours! We’d love to see any photo’s or maybe you could leave a comment on the blog. Mrs Chisholm’s children made wonderful rainbow pictures to thank key workers and the NHS. Maybe you could make a thank you poster for your postman or dustbin men.

Have Fun. Stay Safe.
