What a fantastic day!

The new P1/2 class came together today for the first time and what a great day they had.

 

Well done to the six P1 pupils who are part of the new  Primary 1/2 class, what a fabulous  first day !!
Tomorrow you will meet the P2’s.

Good Morning and Happy Monday to you all. I hope you had a lovely weekend and had a chance to relax in the sun, yesterday afternoon. Can you believe that we only have two more weeks of home learning tasks before we break for the summer? I cannot believe that the time has passed so quickly since we stopped in March. You will start to get more information about arrangements for returning to school in August soon and remember that that you will need to think about speeches applying for Head Boy and Head Girl!

There will be another activity for the RL Olympics which I will post later. Your tasks are posted in Google Classroom and I have them listed here;

Task 1 – Think about your friends you have missed from school and take 5 min to say the school prayer, with a Hail Mary and Our Father to ask for them to be kept safe.

Task 2 – Cosmic Yoga – Join Jamie for some meditation before you get started with your tasks. Relax and think clearly to complete your tasks quickly and accurately.

Good morning P6, I hope you had some fun yesterday with your Health and Wellbeing task? My daughters couldn’t understand why I was being so nice to them and every time I said something nice they started laughing.

The Emperor Tamarins were a bit of a disappointment, I don’t think they liked the rain and went hiding!

Your task today are all focused on Africa, there are no formal literacy or maths tasks but you will need to listen and be creative.

Task 1 – Lets Explore Nigeria – a short video clip with some questions to answer.

Task 2 – Virtual Safari at Longleat Safari Park.  – Follow the safari around the park, take notes and create a safari board game.

Task 3 – Ndebele Art – Look at the images in the PowerPoint and design your own pattern on the worksheet.

Only three tasks but they will take a bit of time. Be as fun as you can with the game and play it with your family.

Have a great weekend, I am in St Fergus’ today and again at the start of next week, if you need help just send me a message.

Mrs Coyle

Good morning everyone. It’s Friday! I have loved our Japanese themed week. You have all worked so hard and I have been so impressed with the tasks you have sent me. One more day left in Japan. Let’s have lots of fun!

Art

The cherry blossom is considered the unofficial National flower of Japan.

There are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a few days in spring. When they bloom it is celebrated with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the trees.

Can you create your own cherry blossom?

Here are a few examples of how you can do this.
