Good Morning Primary 1
As we did last week, can you practise saying the months of the year?
Which month are we in just now? Which month is it going to be next? Which month comes after December? Which month comes before October? Which month is Valentines Day in?
Now can you count up to 10 in Spanish….Can you try counting down in Spanish?
Fabulous, well done. Can you tell an adult how you are feeling today in Spanish? (adult: fantastico, bien, regular or mal)
Numeracy:
Warm up….
- Play number tennis with an adult from 0-30 (or as high as you can go) Adults- child begins with 0 then adults says 1, child says 2, adult says 3 etc
- Now can you play number tennis counting back down again from the number you reached?
Task: Symmetry
Remember we learned about symmetry in school? We learned that it means two parts of a picture are identical and look exactly the same on both sides. A butterfly’s wings are symmetrical, can you think of anything else which is symmetrical?
- Can you search around your house for some different crafts and objects that you could use to create a ‘symmetrical’ picture.
- Send a photo to Seesaw of your picture. There are two pictures below to give you an idea of how your picture might look.
- Challenge: Can an adult create a pattern on one half of your picture and you have to copy it to make the picture symmetrical?
Literacy
In your Learning Packs you will find 4 word walls…
Practise reading word walls out loud with an adult. Keep practising every day to grow your reading skills. Now choose 4 words from your word walls and ‘rainbow write them‘ (note: write each letter of the word in a different colour)
- As we did in class, I’d like you to write down a sentence to tell me your news.
- Remember to use:
- a capital letter at the start of the sentence
-a full stop at the end of the sentence
-a finger space between each word
Challenge: Can you write more than one sentence?
When you have finished writing your sentence you can draw a picture of your news and colour it in.
Outdoor scavenger hunt
Resources: a bag to collect your findings, a camera to capture anything you can’t put in the bag…
- As you go on your daily walk, let’s see how many of the items from the list below items you can find…
- As you find the items ask the adult who is with you to talk about them: What are they? How did they get there? Have they grown, flown or blown there?
