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.

Time for PAThS
At PAThS time we usually do our check to see how everyone is feeling. We sit carefully and listen to others, remembering to make good eye contact with the person talking and we do not fidget.
Practice being a quality audience the next time a family member is talking to you, give them good eye contact, be still and so you can show that you are listening. Remember if you would like to do a check in then you can leave us a comment :).
Today we will recap the feeling worried. What does it mean if you are worried? How can you tell when someone is worried, what does their face look like? Is worry a comfortable or uncomfortable feeling?
Listen to this story called ‘The huge bag of worries’ by Virginia Ironside
Talk about a time when you felt worried.
Is there something you feel worried about just now?
Draw or write some things that make you feel worried.
What different things did Jenny try to do to get rid of her worries? What did she do that helped her with her worries?
What could you do to help you if you feel worried?
Remember all feelings whether comfortable or uncomfortable, are okay!
Today we are learning about standard units that are used to measure weight or mass.
We use scales to measure grams (g) A gram is a small unit of measurement that we use to measure how heavy or light something is. We would use grams to measure: flour, sugar and butter.
We also use scales to measure kilograms (kg). Kilograms are a larger unit of measurement that we use to measure how light or heavy something is. We would use kilograms to measure: people, potatoes, a suitcase.
Your challenge today is to make something in the kitchen with an adult. It has to be a recipe where you have to weigh something. Enjoy making it and eating it!
Write the ingredients that you used for your recipe neatly in your home learning jotter. If you would like to, you could write instructions on how you made them. Take a photo and draw a picture of what you made.
Reading Task
Make a den or find a special place to read a book. When I was a little girl I used to hide behind the sofa and my book. I liked it because there was a nice warm radiator there. If you are making a den, ask an adult first if it is ok.
You can choose your own book or listen and read along with the story below called No Matter What by Debi Gliori.
