Last Thursday we were learning about gathering and recording information. Today, or over the weekend you can go on a bug hunt in your garden or when you are out for your daily walk.
Record how many of each bug you can spot and record this using a tally system. You can lay it out like this, or print this image from the blog.
Watch this song about how to record tally marks and why they are useful:

Hi Primary 1. Hope you are good today! I am still missing you all.
Today we are going to read a non-fiction book. Remember in Tuesday’s online learning we learned about the difference between fiction and non-fiction.
Fiction books are made up stories that are not real and non-fiction book have facts, they teach us something and have information that is true.
Have a look back to Tuesday’s lesson if you need a reminder!
Warm Up
Visit the DK Find Out Website and explore all the different non-fiction categories you can find out about . There are videos, quizzes and fun facts too!
Why not take a quiz about dinosaurs…
or watch a short video about your amazing body!

I have assigned you a selection of non-fiction reading books on the Epic reading site.
Log on to the Epic Reading website and choose a non-fiction book from the range I have assigned to you all…
Remember the Login class code: jvy5210
You can read as many as you like to read – you might need an adult to help you with some of the books.
Choose one book to complete the task below. You can write in your jotter or just talk about it with an adult…
Today we are going to learn about money and about adding coins to make an amount!
We need money so we can pay for things. Can you think of any things you have bought using money?
There are lots of different ways we can pay for items. We can use coins, notes or a credit/debit card. Look at these coins…
Warm Up
Go on a coin hunt! Look around the house to see if you can find any coins. Ask a grown up to help you. When you have finished talk about the coins you have found.
Watch this short sing along video that tells us about the coins 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p.
Play this Game to practise giving the correct amount. There are different levels of difficulty to choose from:
Have a look at the money jars below. Can you work out how much money is in each jar? If you have any coins at home you can use these to lay out the amounts shown on the sheet.
Extra Challenge
Can you make these amounts with coins up to 10p? You could draw round any coins you have at home to show the amount in your jotter!
Today we are going to do some work on number problems.
Solving number problems means you’ve got to use your brain and think about what you have been asked – is it an adding sum or a taking away sum?
Lot of words give you a clue and help you work out if you have to add or subtract. Look at these posters to help you:
Warm Up:
Watch this video about solving word problems
Main Activity:
Can you solve these tricky addition and subtraction problems? You need to to really think about what the question is asking you to do – is it an adding sum or a take away sum? Remember to look for clues in the words that are used!
Extra Challenge:
Can you remember all the words that mean ‘subtract‘ and all the words you remember that mean ‘add‘? Look back up to the top of this post at the ‘word clue’ posters if you need some help!
Maybe you could make a poster, like the ones above, with all the words that mean ‘subtract’ and all the words that mean ‘add’
I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend. I have enjoyed hearing from some of you about what you have been up to while you’ve been away from school. Fabulous plant growing BM! Remember you can contact me at:

Well done to NG, CT and LM for all their super reading on Epic Books.
Here are today’s online activities….
Tuesday’s Literacy
Today in literacy I thought we could do some learning on fiction and non-fiction books.
Warm Up:
Have you heard of ‘fiction books‘ and ‘non-fiction books‘? Try and have a guess at what you think the words might mean then watch the videos below to see if you’re right!
https://youtu.be/7RRPqkPnRl8
Were you right? So, fiction books are made up stories that are not real and non-fiction book have facts, they teach us something and have information that is true.
Main Activity:
Read the title of each book from this worksheet and decide if it is fiction (made up – not real) or non-fiction (real information, teaches us something)
You can write the titles of the books (or draw pictures of the titles) in your jotter under the headings Non-Fiction and Fiction or just discuss them with someone at home
Extra Challenge:
When I did a hunt around my house I found some nonfiction books; I found a dictionary, a recipe book and a book all about birds.
Go on a book hunt around your house and try and find some fiction books and non fiction books – how many of each can you find? Can you beat me?
Game/reading to Support Learning:
Click on the link below and compare the fiction and nonfiction books. You can read along with the books or press on the button and listen to them be read to you
Today we are going to learn about fractions. Fractions are when something is split into equal parts – all the pieces need to be the same size.
‘Half‘ is a fraction. Sometimes it is written like this ‘1/2‘. Half means 1 whole split into 2 equal sized pieces.
Warm Up:
Watch this video all about half
Main Activity:
Look at the worksheet below. You can draw the shapes in your jotter or just talk about them with someone at home. Which pictures show half 1/2?
Draw your own pizza or cookie like the ones below. Afterwards, cut your cookie or pizza in half and share it with someone
Extra Challenge:
Maybe you could ask an adult to help you divide things into 2 equal halves e.g. fruit, your toast or a tasty sandwich
Try and share out some sweets or toys between 2 people so each person has an equal half
Game to Support Learning:
Click on the link and play the game about half. How much of the shape is shaded? Remember if it is a half then equal sized parts must be coloured in…. click here to play!
Today we are going to focus on gratitude as part of mental health week.
This means that we are going to think about the things we are grateful or thankful for. What makes you happy and what are you really glad about?
Focusing on and thinking about the things that make us really happy helps feel better, even if it’s something really small like the sun shining, what you had for lunch or your favourite toy.
Here are some things that I am grateful for…
My family – especially Rosie and Lyla who are keeping me busy and entertained during lockdown.
All of you – my primary 1 class who I have loved teaching in your first months of school.
My cat Wilbur
Think about and draw 3 things that you are grateful for.
