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.

I thought you maybe enjoy listening to a song called ‘Food Glorious Food’ from the musical ‘Oliver’ which is based on the book Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. Charles Dickens is a famous author who lived during Victorian times.
Hopefully you wont get gruel for lunch!
Challenge
See if you can find out what gruel is, maybe you can leave us a message!
When we read and write things down it is important we remember
what the new (and old) words we write mean and,
how to spell new words
Below are 3 interesting facts for you to read, write and remember.
Read them out loud to your grown up.
Copy them in to your jotter – you could even draw a picture to illustrate them.
Remember the facts. You can do this way by
saying them over and over
writing them down an sticking them in places you go to a lot – like on your bedroom door, on the fridge or near your bed. That way every time you see them you can read them which will help you remember them
telling other people the facts
Here we go!
Fact 1 – Kangaroos can not walk backwards.
Fact 2 – Hippopotamus milk is pink.
Fact 3 Snails take the longest naps, some lasting as long as three years.
Feeling inspired? Why not find your own facts from books, family or online. Remember a fact is something that is true!
I may be asking questions next week so keep remembering!
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!
Watch the video to recap telling time using o’clock’ and ‘half past’
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.
Work out the answers and match each number to a letter.
