Good morning boys and girls,

I hope you are all well and are enjoying the lovely weather with your family.

I have loved seeing lots of your videos this week, what talented boys and girls we have in our class. Well done!

Today’s tasks are :

Task 1

World Earth Day – Yesterday was World Earth Day and I thought this was a very special day especially this year when we have time to really appreciate the world we live in. Where is your favourite place in the world? Is it a park? Is it your garden?Is it a forest or woods?Is it a favourite holiday destination? Why do you love it there?

Primary 1 – Draw a picture of your favourite place in the world and have a go at writing a sentence about where it is and discuss with your family why this is your favourite place.

Primary 2 – Write about your favourite place in the world telling me where it is, why you love it, who is usually with you in this place. Draw a picture of your favourite place.

I can’t wait to see where you love the most in the world.  Remember you can upload photos to our teams page or just to this page. If not you can keep all your tasks together in a folder and when we get back to school you can bring them all in to Mrs Curran and I.

Task 2

Mental Maths number bond practise. Can you time yourself saying your number bonds and see if you can beat your time.

Primary 1 – Practise your number bonds to 10.

Primary 2 – Practise your number bonds to 20, 30, or 50. Challenge yourself.

Remember at first it will help to write them out if you are doing number bonds to 10 or 20. Learn them off by heart through practise, time yourself saying your bonds then ask someone else to test you like knockout saying one half of the bond you say the other.

Task 3

It is another beautiful day. Go a walk with your family or look around your garden to look for things that begin with your phoneme for this week. Primary 1 “l” and Primary 2 “ue”.  Write the words down thinking about your spelling strategies to help you sound out tricky words.

Have fun!

I hope you all have a lovely day.

Good morning Primary 2/1,

It’s Friday, I hope you all have a happy Friday at home.

Task 1 – Spell Check

This week you were practising your spelling words so like our usual Friday ask some one at home to test you on your words and let me know how you get on. I’m sure we will have lots of full marks.

Task 2 – Spring

Spring has sprung. We are now in the season of spring and there are lots of signs of spring in our gardens and all around us. If you are able to go walk with your family then have a look for signs of spring, discuss with your family and if you have time you could write to me to let me know what you spotted and draw a lovely spring picture to brighten up your day. Primary 2 – write a paragraph to describe your picture. Primary 1 – write a sentence describing your picture. Try to add an adjective. (You could up load a photo of your spring picture to our page or teams.)

Task 3 – Easter

If we were at school we would be finding out about the week ahead, Holy Week which starts with Palm Sunday this Sunday. As some one at home to tell you about what happens during this week and why it is such an important week. We have been praying the rosary a lot at home and maybe you have been too with your family. Please take time to pray with your family.

You could create a nice Easter card or craft if you have time.

Task 4 – Maths

Practise your number bonds and play a game of “knockout”.
