Mrs McAlinden & Mrs Houston Primary2/3

Good morning everyone,

Today I would like you to find out about winged dinosaurs. You could start off by watching Andy’s Dinosaur Adventures on the bbc I player – look for episode 10. Ornithocheirus and Sand Dollar.

Can you describe how they look, their size, what they eat? Perhaps you could create a picture too.

Also spelling – P2 can you make 5 words with the ‘ew’ phoneme (for example new). Try writing these on your own by sounding them out.
P3 – your new phoneme is “ough”. This is a tricky one. What words can you think of which have this, for example, cough.

Lastly, if you can, get out for some fresh air. Mrs Houston gave you some good ideas for little circuits you can do in your garden. Try making up your own!

Take care boys and girls and I hope to hear from you all soon.

Buenos dias a todos.  Good morning everyone. I hope you are all well.  Here are some little tasks for you:

Literacy – Practise your common words. Say, write and read them. Ask an adult to test you.

Poem for Tuesday

My Best Friend by Abby Jenkins (adapted)

Black and white, thick and furry

Fast as the wind, always in a hurry

Couple of spots, rub my ears

Always comes when his name he hears.

Loves his ball, it’s his favourite thing

What’s most fun for him?  Everything!

Try to write a short poem yourself about an animal or pet.

Numeracy

P2  Continue to practise counting to 100 in 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s. 2x tables. (use topmarks.co.uk to help)

P3 Continue to practise counting on and back to 100 same as P2. 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x tables. (use topmarks.co.uk to help)

Check out www.pbskids.org/curiousgeorge/busyday.  This site has basic numeracy games but I  like it because it can be converted to Spanish with the click of a button.  I’m sure you will enjoy it especially our primary 2 children.

This is Our Faith

Say a ” Hail Mary ”

Spanish

Count to 10 in Spanish then try doing it backwards

Have a great day boys and girls

Good morning everyone!  I hope you are all keeping safe and healthy with your families.

I’m sure you have all been completing some tasks from the grids that were sent home.  Perhaps you could let Mrs Houston & I know what you’ve been working on, or if mum/dad/an adult are really clever they might be able to upload a picture of some of your great work on here.

Here are some other tasks for you to work on today.

1. It is the Feast of the Annunciation.  This is when the Angel Gabriel visited Mary to tell her she would be the Mother of Jesus.  Say a Hail Mary today for your own Mum.
2. Mrs Houston posted a little poem about a rabbit yesterday.  Can you write a short poem of your own about a rabbit or other springtime animal?  We would love to read them!
3. Use topmarks to practise your times table knowledge.
4. Can you find out 3 facts about the dinosaur Triceratops?

Please let us know how you are all getting on boys & girls.  I know I am finding it hard to be stuck in the house and I miss seeing your happy faces!

Take care

Here is a little spring-time poem for you to read.

My Rabbit.

My Rabbit has funny habits.

When I say sit, he sits.

When he hears me call he wags his tail a bit.

When I throw a ball he grabs it.

What a funny rabbit! 

by John Agard.
