Happy Monday Primary 2/3
I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. What have you all been up to?
Microsoft Teams
From today we will begin using Microsoft Teams to stay in touch and deliver tasks for you to try at home. If you have not yet tried to access Teams please try to log in and leave a wee comment. Let us know if you need any assistance in getting set up. Old Learning Grids and associated worksheets are already loaded onto our Teams and I can see some people have managed to download these from our Files. Over the weekend I posted the new Learning Grid for the next few weeks along with associated worksheets. These can be found in the ‘Learning Grids’ and ‘Instructions and Worksheets’ folders in the Files section. I have pinned the latest Learning Grid to the top of its folder. I will be available through teams to answer questions you have or to keep in touch. I have been missing you all and it is so lovely to hear how you have been getting on and see pictures too. Each group’s taught sounds and common words are also available from our Files. I will still be posting tasks here on the website too so if you are having trouble with Teams you can still access them.
New Home Learning Tasks
Our new Learning Grid has 4 Literacy tasks, 4 Maths tasks, 4 Health and Wellbeing tasks and 4 tasks which include focuses from our past topics, Australia and Dinosaurs. There’s also French, Science, Dance and ICT tasks too. Remember you can dip in and out of the current and previous Learning Grids if there are tasks you particularly enjoy. I will also continue to post wee activities you might enjoy now and then. I know I’ve spent a lot of time cooking and dancing in my kitchen to keep me busy when I’m not working. I also quite fancy building a den in my living room!

Sum Dog Challenges
This week’s Maths challenge is the North Lanarkshire Council Contest. The last day for this is 21st May at 8pm. We need 10 people in our class to take part for us to appear on the leader board. At the minute 8 have joined in so we’re almost there! I have still created Spelling and Grammar challenges for this week. These end on Friday at 12 noon.
Remember, Sum Dog challenges are optional and you can take part in as little or a much as you like.
I look forward to hearing from you all on Teams!
