Fundamentals of movement

Primary 1/2 are lucky to have a visit to help with the fundamentals of movement.  This happened on Monday and will happen again next week too.

They had great fun finding different ways to move around.  They had to balance, move in different ways, work as a team and be imaginative.  Here are some pictures to show some of the activities.

They had great fun and are looking forward to some more next week.

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.

Challenge can be hard but rewarding

This term we are going to learn about challenging ourselves, how we can overcome challenge and how it will make us feel when we do.  We started with a challenge yesterday. We had to make a tower using playing cards, it was fine if it was a small tower but a lot more challenging if we were to make it bigger!  We decided that it’s good to work as a team.  We have decided that it’s good to give ourselves some challenges, keep trying them until we can do them and then set some more.

Friendship – health and wellbeing

We have been learning about relationships, in particular looking at friendships.

We had to sort pictures to find friends.  Then we spoke about how friends can fall out.  Most importantly, we learned how friends can help each other and make things better to stop them from falling out.

It was a really interesting discussion and now we are trying to make sure that we don’t fall out with our friends.  If we do, we know what we can do to make up and be friends again.

Visit from the school nurse

We had a visit from the school nurse.  She came to speak to us about staying healthy and looking after ourselves.

She measured us to see how we were doing too.  It was great to have a visitor in class!  Zoe even read us a story about bucket filling and making sure we are kind.  Then she had us doing some activities too.
