Muir Street Primary

Wednesday 22nd April

Good morning boys and girls. We hope you are enjoying the lovely sunny weather and are all keeping safe.  If you can, remember to choose some chilli challenge activities to keep your brain working and try to do some Sumdog at some point – 2pm if you want to beat the teacher!

We LOVE seeing what you are getting up to so feel free to share with us on our Twitter page or email us (see school app) if you prefer it isn’t public.

Take care,

Mrs Early, Mrs Mooney and Mrs Anderson

Good morning boys and girls,

Another sunny day is ahead to try and help keep us positive!  Did you manage to listen carefully, yesterday, to hear different bird sounds?

Perhaps today you could go a hunt around your garden or a walk and look for some nature bits and pieces that you could make into fairies or insects like a butterfly.  You could collect a stick for the body, leaves for wings and other natural elements for other body parts.  Remember to be respectful of other people’s gardens- don’t take flowers etc. that belong to someone else. Get creative!

The fairy below is called Bobella!

A note to parents/carers-

The suggested activities are just that suggestions, participation is at your discretion, complete if you can and find it appropriate to do so.  Many of you will have your own work to do at home and it can be difficult to juggle both.  Please remember both you and your child’s mental health is most important during this difficult time.

Some suggestions for this coming week:

Please refer to the grid for daily suggestions for Literacy and Numeracy.  Other curricular areas can be completed if this works for your family.

Home Learning Grid

Literacy

Phonics and Common Words:

• Orally (spell out loud) your common words to an adult.
• Ask an adult or brother or sister to trace the words with their finger in large writing on your back. Can you guess which common word they have written?

Reading Activity

Comprehension– Complete the online Quiz- What’s Inside Me.

Can you answer these questions in sentences, remember to use the question to help you for the answer and include capital letters and full-stops.  Remember too your best handwriting.  Aim high and give it your best try!

1. What are the organs that help you breathe?
2. What job does blood do?
3. How long does it take for blood to travel from your heart around your body and back again?
4. Which is the strongest muscle for its size in the human body?
5. How much of the brain is made of water?
6. What are nerves?

Art and Design

Find some old magazines. Cut out facial features and make some funny faces.  You can glue these down or just move them around on the paper to make funny faces.  You could then draw some of these faces.  Get creative!

Remember if you would like to leave a comment via Twitter, it would be lovely to hear from you!

Have a good day and remember these are just suggestions.  Keep safe.

Regards

Mrs Brown

We also learned some Scottish songs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿If you can share these pictures with someone in your house today and tell them some of the facts you learned , maybe sing them a wee song. 🎼🎼

Good morning everyone!

We hope you are all keeping safe and staying healthy. It is to be another lovely sunny day so if you can, try to get outside and do some exercise or play in the sun.

You can choose any of the activities from the chilli challenge grids Mrs Doyle posted yesterday.

Also, Mrs Early will be on Sumdog at 2pm to play against you.  So if you want to beat a teacher then log on to play!

Have a great day,

Mrs Anderson, Mrs Early and Mrs Mooney

Morning boys,

I hope you had a lovely day yesterday and managed to get outside to enjoy the sunshine for a little while.

I’ve been looking at all the super activities you’ve completed on Studyladder and Sumdog. Well done – I’m so proud of you! I’ve added some new activities for you to try.

I realise some of you may not have been able to open the Home Learning Grid I attached yesterday so I have now uploaded the grid in a different format. Fingers crossed this works! 🙂

Why not try the Espresso challenge today?

Rm 8 Home Learning Grid

• Today I would like you to Log into your Studyladder account and complete one of the Addition Activities I have set for you.
• Use your lego to create a set for a minecraft animation. Show it to someone at home and describe it to them.

It’s going to be another sunny day! 🙂 Try to spend some time playing or getting your daily exercise outdoors today.

And remember…try to make somebody smile or laugh today. 🙂

Take care.

Mrs McQuiston
