Good morning, hope you’ve had a healthy breakfast and you’re raring to go!

Task 1: Literacy; Adjectives, complete the first two activities on this describing words lesson.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpbbkqt/articles/zf6c47h

Using what you’ve learned about adjectives, your going to describe objects you find outside in task 2!

Task 2 : Science; Outdoor Scrapbook.  Today you’re going to start an Outdoor Scrapbook.  If you have a small book with blank pages that would be ideal.  If not, why not create your own scrapbook from odd bits of paper?  You’re going to find 5 small items from nature and bring them back inside.  Look closely at each of them, what do you notice? How do they feel?  Do they smell? What colours do they have?  In your scarp book you’re  going to Sketch each object then write words to describe them beside it,  If you can, stick your object into your scrap book beside your drawing and description.

Task 3: numeracy, counting in Tens and Ones.  Watch the videos and follow the instructions on how to use counting in tens and ones around your house.  How many other reasons can you think of that you’d need to count in tens and ones?

Morning!  Hope you’re all well.  It looks like it’s going to be another glorious day so get out there and enjoy the sunshine as much as you can.

We have a wonderful video from a special guest (sorry, TWO special guests) for you to have a look at.  If this doesn’t make you smile, nothing will!

Task 1. Literacy:  BBC Bitesize will be running activities everyday on their website.  Feel free to have a look every weekday morning for some ideas.  I would recommend using the year2/P3 group of lessons but have a wee nosey to find out what activities are going on either in P2 or P4.  I will be using some of their activities to join in with my own.

Today is about Questions?  Firstly, watch the video from BBC Bitesize then do activity 1.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/z7s22sg/year-2-lessons/1

When you have completed activity 1, you’re now going to watch Miss Kinloch’s video again.  Think of 5 questions you would like to ask her, or Leo, about anything at all.  Post your questions in the comments box below and maybe she’ll answer some of them!

If you want an extra challenge, try activities 2 and 3.

Task 2 Music; At the weekend there was a huge music festival called “Together at Home”.  Loads of famous music artists from Taylor Swift, to Ed Sheeran to The Rolling Stones (who are they??) played their favourite songs in the home or garden.  Now you’re going to be a famous music artist!  Choose a song you really like, listen to the words carefully.  You are now going to try to write your own song!  Use the music from the song you chose and rewrite it with different words.  The lyrics for your song can be about anything.  Go on, I know you can do it (ask for help if you need it!)

Here’s some inspiration from Together at Home.

Task 3: HWB; Life Skills.  If you don’t know already how to tie your laces then follow my instructions on the video.  Learning to tie your laces is a skill you will need for life.  Post some pictures of your tied laces on the St Albert’s Facebook page.

Continue reading Day 2; The Magnificence of P3 →

Well it’s been a strange couple of weeks.  The “holiday” has thankfully seen the weather be pretty good which hopefully has meant you’ve all been able to get outside for your one piece of exercise per day!

Needless to say I’m still missing you all like mad, but we’ll stick together like we always do in P3.

I’ll continue to post daily activities here for the foreseeable future, so check back every day.

Task 1:  Writing; Give Me 5, write down 5 places went to over the Spring Break.  For each of those 5 places, write down 2 words to describe them (adjectives).  For each of those Adjectives, can you write another word that means the same thing?

Task 2: Maths; check out some Jack Hartman on YouTube.  Choose a times table and revise it so you REALLY know it.  Phone or video call a friend or relative and amaze them with your times table knowledge!

Task 3: Science; Get Out NOW!!!  Now that Spring is in full swing I’m going to give you some tasks each week to complete outdoors.  Whether it’s in your garden or during your daily exercise, try to take part in the tasks.  Today I want you to go outside and find as many different types of flowers as you can.  Take photos of them then try to identify them using either books or the internet,  Let me know how you get on!

Task 4: HWB; Now just chill out for a few minutes, you’ve worked hard for the first day back!

Thank goodness it’s Friday! It’s also the start of the Spring holidays so this will be my final post until after the break.  I’ll return on Monday 20th with more posts and activities.  In the meantime, it’s important to remember that if you need to communicate with us for any reason you can check the St Albert’s Facebook page or contact the school directly.  Please don’t hesitate to do so if you need any support.

Remember that today is dress up Friday so post your photos of you and your family wearing something PURPLE

Remember that there’s loads of activities you can still be doing over the holiday but keep it fun and active and get outside if you can.

There’s now well over 40 videos to choose from on the St Albert’s Infants YouTube channel.  Make sure you check it out.

Task 1:  Dance yourself silly on a Friday.  Get together with friends and family and follow the dance moves.  Can you make some of your own?  There’s loads of other songs to dance along to.

Task 2: As always, Friday afternoon means it’s time to have a laugh! It’s amazing that no matter how tired or down you feel, laughing can change your mood.

If you need any activities over the holiday then here’s a few ideas.

Home Learning Resources

Here are some St Albert’s Maths resources.

First Level T1

First Level Tracker 3

Bonjour, hope you’re well. I’ve outlined some tasks for today.  Make sure you take some time each day to relax and turn down the activity in your mind (see task 3 for help).

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Every Friday we’re going to have a ‘Dress Up Friday’ celebration with a different theme each week.  This week we want you and your family and friends to wear something ‘PURPLE’.  Post your pics on the St Albert’s blog/Facebook/Twitter.  Celebrate the colour of St Albert’s in style!

Task 1: Exploring The Greek Islands

watch this short video about Greece Islands today.  Give Me 5 interesting facts about any of the Greek Islands.
Create an info poster- on a piece of paper draw any interesting things you found out from the film,  then annotate (remember that means to add key words or phrases explaining your drawing) it.  Think of things that would encourage tourists to visit the beautiful Greek Islands.

In case you are wondering, I didn’t make this video…..unfortunately!

Task 2:  Make a garden pond.  Follow my easy instructions to make your very own garden pond that will help attract a wide range of wildlife.

Task 3: Relax: after all that hard work, sit back and relax with some Counting Relaxation.

Hello again strangers.  As well as the daily tasks I’m posting remember to keep using Sumdog for your numeracy and reading skills.
Also, keep trying to interview people over WhatsApp or Facebook or FaceTime etc.  Try and change your 5 questions each time.  You could interview family, friends or neighbours using a video call.

Task 1: Going on a Bear Hunt

There’s never been a better time to immerse yourself in this brilliant story.  There’s loads of activities to keep everyone entertained. Why not organise your own bear hunt indoors and outdoors?

Check out this news link.  Your bear hunt could go worldwide!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52108765

Don’t forget to put your bears in your window for other people to try and spot.

Task 2: Gangin’ on a Bear Hunt

The same story but read in Scots.  Which words can you recognise? Can you translate back into English? Which strategies could you use? If you know another language, can you translate the story into that language?

Task 3: Shopping challenge.  Can you find out how much my shopping will cost and how much change I’d get from £20?
Using Asda online, how much would it cost for me to buy the following?

5 bananas

A bag of apples

1 loaf of brown bread

2 tins of tomato soup

2 chicken breasts

1 tub of ice cream

When you have found out how much all that costs and how much change I’d get from £20, can you go back and the similar items for less money??
Why not choose your own items.  Which items are essential and which ones are luxury? Which items would you buy for a family? Which items would you buy for an older person living on their own?

Good morning, everyone.  If I’m being perfectly honest I’m missing all of you tremendously.  It’s just not the same without your smiling faces in front of me everyday!  Yet, we still keep going, keep learning, keep happy and keep safe.
See below for today’s activities.  Enjoy.

Task 1: Here are links to some audio books through BBC.  There’s loads of activities on the BBC so to keep it manageable I’ll just post some every few days.  Feel free to explore  and recommend any great websites by using the comments section of the blog at the top of the page.

Good morning, everyone.  I hope you had a relaxing and fun weekend.  It’s the start of a new week and we’ll begin with some fun and  easy activities.

Task 1: Firstly, check out the St Albert’s Infants YouTube channel for some great activities.  In particular we’ll focus on the fantastic musical sensation that is Claire.  She’s taking us through one our favourite songs.  Remember, you can change the words to suit your own mood!
Most importantly, when you’ve finished watching and singing with her you have shout “We love you, Claire!” Like we always do!

Task 2: Build your own robot.

This is an activity you can do indoors or outdoors.  Using whatever you can get your hands on, build your very own robot.  If you’re outdoors then see if you can make your robot out of sticks, stones, mud etc.  Indoors, use pots, pans, tinfoil, cardboard boxes, anything at all.  This is a brilliant activity to do with more than one person.  You could work as a team, or build ones separately and compare them.  When you have finished then do a 1 minute presentation about your robot.  What’s it called?  What’s it made out of? What’s so special about it?

If you have access to Twitter you could post a photo of your robot and tag @stalbertsP3 so we can all see you.  Remember to get adult’s permission first.

Task 3: Also, here’s the YouTube link to my Guided Relaxation.  Taking time to allow your body and mind to relax is really important.  Try it for 5 minutes everyday, it’ll help with your general happiness and positive mood.

See you all again tomorrow!
