Science

I have linked a website below that has lots of fantastic ideas that you could try. As they all require different things I want you to pick what experiment you can do with what you have at home. Always have an adult help you. I can’t wait to see what one you pick!

Before you start your experiment I want you to talk about what you think is going to happen, this is called a hypothesis. Once you get to the end of it I want you to talk about what did happen and if your hypothesis was right. I also want you to have a discussion about why you think it happened.

P2/3 Daily Tasks Friday 12.06.20

Well done for all of your hard work yet again! We are going to start with some Literacy, then Music, P.E. and finally our Friday challenge.

Morning Prayer

Literacy – Morning Routine

With us not being in school I am interested to find out what your new routine is for the day, I know everyone’s will be different but that’s a good thing! Do you work and then play? Or do you have a slow start to your day, play for a while and then work? Remember to include times in your routine, these don’t have to be exact. Here is what my morning looks like:

7:30 – Wake up

7:45 – have breakfast and watch the news

8:30 – upload your daily tasks

8:40 – shower and get dressed

9:00 – start school work

12:30 – lunch

Break

Music – From Miss. P

Today we are going to start by listening to a piece of music called

In the Hall of the Mountain King by a composer called Grieg

First of all, I would

Like you to listen and watch, then clap the rhythm. Do you remember what all your rhythms are called?

 

Next, we are going to compose our own body beat. First, listen to Ollie, he is using 4 names. I’d like you to choose 4 names and make up your own body percussion.

Lastly, I’d like you to listen to this.

This is John, one of my friends and he has

recorded this. Do you recognise this song?

Your family will recognise it too.

Can you spot how many instruments he is playing and what they are?

Friday Challenge – name the animal

Pick an animal and only use words to describe it, you can’t say the name! Pick an animal and think of ways to describe it, for example if I thought of a lion I might say “big, furry, scary, massive paws, very long and large teeth, longer hair around their face that looks red.” And hopefully someone will be able to guess the animal that you are thinking of.

P2/3 Daily Tasks Wednesday 10.06.20

Good morning everyone! Today we are going to start with prayers and then do some R.E. After you have a break, we will do some mental math and numeracy.  Finally after lunch, we will finish with some Handwriting, Free Play and P.E. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

School Prayer

L.I: we are learning to explore how the Holy Spirit helps us in our lives.

Think about times when it is easy to say yes, e.g. when you are offered sweets, when you are asked to a party. Think about times when it is difficult to say yes, e.g. when we have to go to bed, when you need to tidy your room. We often need to make choices and sometimes we do not know what to do and have to think about it very carefully.  The Holy Spirit can help us to make good choices every day and live like Jesus.

Task:

  • Look at the statements below and decide if it is a good choice

or  a bad choice

  • Good choices/Bad Choices Game
  1. Pick up litter.
  2. Tell someone in your family that you love them.
  3. Have a tantrum when you don’t get a new toy you want.
  4. Take a bar of chocolate that does not belong to you.
  5. Say thank you when someone gives you something.
  6. Don’t go to bed when you are asked.
  7. Play nicely with your younger brothers or sisters.
  8. Help to tidy up after your dinner.
  9. Hold a door open for someone.
  10. Shout at your brother or sister for making a mistake in a game.
  11. Watch television instead of doing your schoolwork.

Health and Wellbeing – Coping Toolbox

While we are not at school it is still important to focus on our health and wellbeing and talk about our emotions. For this activity I would like you and an adult to do this activity together. You are going to create your own separate toolboxes which will contain different things. It will be items that remind you of happy memories or things that make you feel better. It could be notes to remind yourself to take 10 deep breaths, a cuddly toy, photo, DVD/game, a note of your favourite song that you can play. Once you have collected your items, I would like you to talk about each one and why you have chosen it.

All you need is any form of container that you can decorate if you want to. Every time you start to feel sad, angry or worried you can look at the things that bring you joy in your Coping Toolbox.

Music – From Miss. P

We are going to start today’s music lesson by listening to a piece of Scottish music which is a dance played by an orchestra during the lockdown.

This is the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra all playing from their houses.

Do you recognise the music?

Next, we are going to listen to a song that you may all have heard, played on a woodwind instrument, the clarinet.. there is another clarinet being played, it’s called a bass clarinet and it is very big, so it sounds very low.

Today we are going to continue with our body percussion. Why don’t you try this with your family?

Finally, after the great success with everybody singing and playing ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’, we have another thank you to all our NHS and Key Workers…this is great fun to do with your family.

L.I: we are learning about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit.

Pentecost happened 50 days after Easter Sunday. Jesus promised the disciples that the Holy Spirit would come and help them when He was gone. Jesus had gone back to Heaven, so the disciples were waiting to receive the Holy Spirit.

Tasks:

  • Watch the Bible story of Pentecost:

  • Think about this Bible story. Use these questions and discuss them with someone in your home.
  1. What strange noise came from the sky?
  2. What appeared above every disciple?
  3. What were they filled with?
  4. What could they do now, that they could not do before?
  5. Do you think they were glad to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

Handwriting – Vv/Ww

Today we are staring with the letter Vv. It is very similar to the capital U that had practiced last time. This time instead of the bottom being curved, it will come to a point in the bottom line, like an arrow head. Once you get to the bottom, draw a straight line going back up to the top line. A small v looks the exact same but is smaller in size.

Next I would like you to write the letter Ww. For the capital you will need to start it the same way you did for the capital V, except this time when you get back to the top you need to write another V without lifting your pencil. Again, for the small w it is the exact same but much smaller in size.

Shopping list

Today I would like you to write a shopping list of 5 things that you need to buy for your house. Ask an adult to help you as they will know what is needed. Then I would like you to use a supermarket website to research and find out how much each thing costs. As we can’t go shopping we just have to use our imagination for this today. Once you find out how much it costs. Try to write down the coins that you would need to make this amount. Don’t worry if you find this tricky, I am looking for you to challenge yourself.

Music – From Miss P

Hello everyone.

How are you all? Hope you and your families are all keeping well and safe.

This week we are going to listen to an instrument we’ve heard before.

The ‘cello, from the string family. The next 2 clips are played by 2 Cellos.

You may recognise the second one from us playing this at school.

The First piece is called ‘Storm’, by a composer called Vivaldi. It was written hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

Music written then is called BAROQUE MUSIC.

PARENTS, PLEASE NOTE THIS HAS FLASHING LIGHTS!

 

This second clip is fun.. remember this?

 

 

The second thing we are going to do today is called body percussion.

You can all give this a go with your families.

The final thing we are doing today is rhythm, along to a song I’m

Sure you all know.

Do you all remember

Ta- crotchets – one beat

Te te – quavers – half a beat.

Rests -Sh!

I’d like you to clap along with this to the rhythm it points to. Once you have clapped the rhythm then you can make it harder by adding everything else.

 

 

Hope you all have fun

See you all soon.
