It is a difficult time right now where we are being told to stay home and keep safe. Some days even your teachers feel good and some times they too feel fed up, sad and angry. Remember it is okay to feel angry. How can you tell when someone is angry, what does their face look like? Remember when you are feeling angry, do the Turtle and talk to someone. Before screaming and shouting, think of 3 things you could do to instead e.g listen to music, jog, scream into a pillow! Here are some resources to help you cope when you are feeling angry or upset. If you cannot print the mindfulness colouring book then open it onto your computer/tablet and use paint software to colour it in.
Good morning Primary 2! We hope you had a good long weekend and break from on-line learning. Here are some tasks to ease you back in gently.

At PAThS time we usually do our check in and do a quick news time. We sit carefully and listen to others, remembering to make good eye contact with the person talking and we do not fidget. Can you practise being a quality audience the next time a family member is talking to you? If you would like to do a check in then leave us a comment :).
Today we will recap the feeling happy. What does it mean if you are happy? How can you tell when someone is happy, what does their face look like? Is happy a comfortable or uncomfortable feeling?
Talk about a time when you were happy.
What are you happy about just now?
Draw or write some things that make you happy.
Do something to make someone in your family happy e.g. help do a chore, tell them a joke, give them a hug etc.
Remember all feelings whether comfortable or uncomfortable, are okay!

I hope you have had a good day and have enjoyed your learning. Leave a comment below telling us what you have enjoyed learning/ doing today. Is there anything you did today that you are proud of?
Good morning Primary 2! We hope you all had a lovely weekend. Here is our morning song, sing and dance along to wake you up!
Morning Starter Activity
How many words can you make out of these letters?
Sound of the Week
We are used to long vowel sounds using magic ‘e’ but this week we are going to look at a different long vowel sound: ‘ea’
‘ea’ makes the same sound as ‘ee’ and ‘e_e’. Where e_e has a silent e at the end of the word, ‘ea’ mostly found at the middle of a word e.g. beak, leak, cheap. However, there are some words that do end in ‘ea’ e.g. tea, flea, sea
Remember the rule, when 2 vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. In this case the e in ‘ea’ is in charge and makes the long e sound!
Let’s visit Geraldine the Giraffe:
TASK
Have a go at reading the words in the list below, remember your reading strategies to help you if you get stuck.
Pick 6 ‘ea’ words and write them down and draw it in your jotter.
Choose 4 ‘ea’ words to write 4 sentences. Get an adult to help you if with words you are unsure of spelling. They can model it and you can copy it down.
Read your sentences out to someone.
Reading Time
Did you know you can access reading books for free online? Oxfordowl.co.uk is providing access to free reading ebooks. All you need to do is get an adult to sign you up. Here is the link below to get you started. If you do not know which level/band to read then look at the back of your reading book in your homework pack to start you off. If the book is too easy for you then try non-fiction as they can be trickier or jump up a band. If you are finding a book tricky then jump down a band until you become more confident and familiar with your tricky words and phonics. Remember it doesn’t matter, as long as your are having a go at reading. Any problems or questions then leave a comment.
Break Time – Have a snack, go to the toilet and have a 15 minute play!
Maths Time!

Length : Non-standards units of Measurement
This week we will focus on measurement. What is measurement? Why is it important? Can you think of some everyday examples of measurement?
There are different units of measurement but today we will revise non standard units of measurement used to measure length. Length is the measurement of distance, how long something is from one end to the other. Length can be measure in many ways, can you think of some?
Today we will be using non standards of measurements, like hands, feet, cubes. Did you know you can use any object to measure the length of something, as long as you follow these rules:
Watch the clip below:
TASK
Find something in your home (sweets, pasta, paper clips, lego bricks, tins etc, make sure they’re the same size) that you could use to measure the length of :
a book
a bottle
pencil
a toy
2. Get some paper and draw around your hand and cut it out. Now draw around your foot and cut it out. Can you use lego bricks, pasta, etc. to measure how long your foot and hand is?
3. Let’s use your ‘hand’ to measure the length of larger objects. Go around your home and use your ‘hand’ to measure 4 objects! Record your answers in your jotter or notebook.
4. Now repeat the above but this time using your ‘foot’ and record your answers. You can record your answers in a table like the one below. What did you notice?
5. What is the problem of using non standard units of measurement like hands and feet? To help you answer this, go and draw around a family member’s hand or/and foot. Cut it out and use it to measure the same 4 objects from before. What did you notice this time?
Finishing Task/ Plenary
Remember to wash your hands before you have your lunch.
We have been looking at different animals in hot and cold climates and we had started learning about Inuit people living in cold climates in school. So today we will learn about different types of traditional homes around the world. So fasten your seat belt and let’s go!
People from around the world build their houses differently depending on the climate of the country that they live in. The climate in Britain and Europe is quite mild and so most people live in houses and flats.
However, some countries are very hot, some have severe floods, and some are very cold so the houses in these countries are adapted to suit the weather conditions. For example, in the Arctic, it is very cold and snowy. The Inuit people build igloos out of snow to live in because they are good insulators (stopping heat being transferred). Even though it is extremely cold outside, the igloos stay warm inside. There is only one room in an igloo for the whole family to sleep and live in.
To learn about more homes around the world click on the ppt. below! Look at the different homes and answer and discuss the questions below with a family member.
Why do you think lots of people in Australia have swimming pools in their gardens?
In which country would you find a yert?
Why are Japanese homes made out of wood?
Why do homes in Spain have a flat roof?
TASK: Choose a home from around the world and make it out of any materials you have lying around the house. It could be made from lego, play dough, cardboard, old kitchen rolls, what ever you have be creative! Decorate it too!
Sing-a-long Break
Friday Fun Quiz!
