Where theres’s a bear . . .

 

TITLE:  Where there’s a bear, there’s trouble-e!

AUTHOR: Michael Catchpool

ILLUSTRATOR: Vanessa Cabban

BEFORE YOU READ

You could look at the front cover of the book and ask your child – What do you think is happening?  What kind of animal is this? What can you see in the picture?  What will happen in this book? What noise does a bear make? Do you know any other stories with a bear in it?  What kind of trouble do you think there will be?

DURING THE STORY
You should listen to the story once all the way through using our Three Read Approach.

On the second read you could pause the video and use the subtitle questions to help your child think more deeply about the story and share their ideas.

On the third read you could mute the audio and ask your child to read the story to you.

As it is nearly the summer break, we have included LOTS of activities below that you can enjoy.

Please stay updated over the summer holidays by downloading the Mossend Primary App and keeping an eye on the main school website for news of what things will look like in August.

This week . . .

  • Mrs Blevin’s read us a story called “Where there’s a bear, there’s troubl-e!” and as it is the summer holidays you will find LOTS of resources, colouring-in and activities you can do over the break.
  • Mrs Martin has set the final weekly challenge “Outdoor treasure Hunt” and again you will find additional resources there to extend this learning.
  • WATCH OUT ON WEDNESDAY AT 9AM  – A final read-along video by Mrs Blevins especially for those children moving to Primary school after the holidays.
  • Remember, it is family fun week this week so we hope that you will be taking part tonight in Mossend Movie Night (#mossendmovies) starting at 6:30pm,
    tomorrow night is Mossend Quiz Night (#mossendmarvels) starting at 6:30pm – 8:00pm and Wednesday is a Mossend Games Day (#mpsschoolsouts) starting at 10am – 1pm.  Share all your photos/videos on Twitter of you taking part using the hashtags above.

School Recovery Plans and FAQ

Good afternoon

Please click on the link below where you will find an updated letter from Derek Brown.

www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/schoolplans

I have also attached an  FAQ sheet for your reference.

Attached are the draft plans for Mossend Primary School.

I am sure that will appreciate this is a draft recovery plan as many things will change before our return.

We have been extremely thorough in our planning and have tried to take into consideration potential difficulties for parents and families. We appreciate that returning to school may present a challenge for working families but we have ensured that all siblings are together and children have been placed in working groups where possible.

I will endeavour to provide you with information as soon as I receive it during the school holidays.

What’s the time Mr Wolf?

 

TITLE: What’s the time Mr Wolf?

AUTHOR: AND ILLUSTRATOR 
Amanda Enright

BEFORE YOU READ

You could look at the front cover of the book and ask your child – What do you think is happening?  What kind of animal is this? What can you see in the picture?  What will happen in this book? What time do you go to bed? What time do we have breakfast  – morning or night?  What time do we have dinner – morning or night?

DURING THE STORY
You should listen to the story once all the way through using our Three Read Approach.

On the second read you could pause the video and use the subtitle questions to help your child think more deeply about the story and share their ideas.

On the third read you could mute the audio and ask your child to read the story to you.

AFTER THE STORY

To extend the interest and learning further there are some downloadable resources below that you could explore together. We would love to see what you get up to, so use the SHARE button from the main toolbar to send us a picture, video or comment.

HAVE FUN PLAYING THIS GAME

Some of these resources may be a little tricky as time is often explored when children start Primary 1, however you can still use them for exploring how the clock works, the direction of the hands and general time like morning, afternoon, night  – asking questions like “Do we do this in the morning or night?”

Calendar missing ordinal numbers
Carrot Club – Differentiated Worksheet

Hello boys and girls,

This week, Mrs Johnston has set another food challenge – this time to make delicious Crunchie Fudge! 

The boys and girls in our school tried this a couple of weeks ago on our online learning and the results were amazing, so we know you will enjoy it too.

You will need 400g milk chocolate, 4 pack of crunches, 15g unsalted butter, a teaspoon of vanilla essence, a small tin of condensed milk. 

There are two options -for best results use a slow cooker, but you can also make it using a pot too.

Please share your creations with us and enjoy your treat 🙂

If you go down to the wood today . . .

You might find Mrs Blevin’s nursery house she left there!  Thank you for sharing your pictures and videos with us, we love seeing them, please keep them coming!

Hello boys and girls,

We have another busy week planned.  If you click on the ‘read along’ tab you can join Mrs Brown for a Teddy Bear Picnic story with lots of activities that you can complete afterwards.

It has been perfect weather for a picnic recently, so why not make your own ice lollies to take with you and your teddy bears? Mrs Brown has set the challenge this week – give it a go!  I wonder what kind you will make?

Some of the ladies are going back to the nursery building this week to get organised and planned for August and some of us are also continuing to volunteer in the Hub schools for key worker children, what have you got planned for this week?  Let us know on Twitter or by pressing the Share button from the main toolbar.

Have another great week, stay safe and we will see you soon!

All the ladies in the Nursery.
