Another snow day

Well good morning everyone.  It would seem we have more snow and so here are some things to keep you busy today.  Remember to have some time outside in the snow if you have some as fresh air and exercise are important too.

Language

P1 – phonics – practise all sounds covered so far.  Practise writing these letters too.

P2 – common words – look at the attached word lists, using a dice, roll the dice and see if you can read the word, then get someone to test you on spelling it.  There are a lot of words and sheets to choose from.

Rhyming – complete the rhyming worksheet.  If you can think of anymore please add them to the  group.  Then make up a short story using two of the animals on the sheet and have some silly rhyming sentences in it.

Reading – read your reading book if you have it at home.  If not, read another book, your library book etc and then you can tell me about it when you get back to school.  Let me know what you thought of it and what you liked about it or didn’t like.

Primary 1 maths – Have a look at sumdog and complete the challenges that have been set there for you.

Topic – Complete the weather forecast for today on the sheet, looking and deciding on what it is like at the different stages of the day.  If you want you can challenge yourself by finding out about the wind direction and the temperature at each stage too.  More challenge is to see what the wind speed is too.  Do these change at the different parts of the day?  Sheet attached to complete and just write in the additional information.

Art – Draw a picture of what you can see today.  You can also draw a Spring picture too.  Although it doesn’t feel like Spring at the moment, we are now in that season!

Health and Wellbeing – if there is snow at your house and you can go outside and play in it then please do so.  This is as good as anything.  If you don’t want to play in the snow, how about going for a walk with someone.  Look for unusual patterns in the snow or there is any ice around?  Does it have a pattern?  Find out how deep the snow is (within reason and safely).  Does it just cover your feet?  Is it deeper and go halfway up your legs?  Are you knee deep?  Build a snow sculpture if you can.

Please do also take care and I look forward to seeing you all again soon and hearing about your day.

Scottish Chamber Orchestra

Today Primary1/2 saw the Scottish Chamber Orchestra’s performance with a story about Stanley and Mabel. Stanley is a dog and Mabel is a cat who go to Italy in search of the best orchestra in the world. It turns out that the best orchestra in the world is made up of animals.

Primary1/2 really enjoyed the performance and at various points through the concert clapped their hands or stamped their feet in time to the music.
