Hello! We hope you all enjoyed the activities provided for week 1 of home learning and managed to try some of them out.
This week, we have some new activities for you to try based on our new class theme ‘The Glasgow Gruffalo’. We are very familiar with both ‘The Gruffalo’ story and also ‘The Grufflo’s Child’ in the Sungazers class, so thought it would be good to explore the Scottish version for our Scottish theme. Hope you enjoy it!
Literacy – Here is Elaine C Smith reading ‘The Glasgow Gruffalo’ story for you to enjoy. Can you hear that some of the animal names and words sound different in this story? A mouse is a moose and a house is a hoose. Have a listen and enjoy.
Numeracy – One More or One Less. Use your number line in your maths activity pack or pause this video, find the number and add on more more or take one away (one less). Can you find the correct answer?

Science – Experimenting with Ice
We have previously enjoyed experimenting with ice in the Sungazers Class. We know we can make ice by freezing water. One of our favourite activities was filling up plastic gloves or balloons with water and small plastic toys. We then put them in the freezer. You could try this again at home! How long did it take to melt and free the toys?
New activity – Can you build an ice cube tower? Using ice cubes try and see if you can stack them on top of one another. Does it work or is it too slippery? Now try adding some salt between each ice cube – the salt works as a kind of glue. How many can you stack now?
Health and Wellbeing – Hope you enjoy this song about washing our hands
