Visit from the Police

1 Comment

Today we were lucky enough to have a visit from PC Cameron Jamieson who is the link officer with our school.  He came in to tell us about Stranger Danger, Road Safety and also a little bit about his job.

We were very interested and excited to see all the things he told us and showed us.  He had a big bag of things that help him do his job.  We found out about the importance of wearing reflective clothing at night when we are out walking and we also told him other ways to stay safe when walking at night too.

PC Jamieson showed us the baton and sprays that help to keep him safe when out on patrol.

Then he showed us the handcuffs.  PC Jamieson pretended to arrest Mrs Inkster to show how the handcuffs work, thankfully he let her go again!

Then we found out more about the radio and how it was important to help communicate with other police officers, not only here in Shetland, but in other places in Scotland too.

Writing is something we do all the time and PC Jamieson said it was important to keep writing and put as much information in as possible as it helped with being a police officer.  They have to write lots of details down in their books.

Then we got to have a closer look at things and ask PC Jamieson questions.  He showed us safety glasses, the first aid kit, he even let us try on his hat!  Some of us think that maybe this could be the job we want to do when we grow up.

Another snow day

Leave a comment

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.

Tiddler

Tiddler is a lovely story about a fish.  Primary 1/2 enjoyed it, getting into the read and respond mood with parts of it. They even linked it to other things.  Through discussion in the book Primary 1/2 thought they could help Miss Skate teach the Tiddler and the class about different types of boats to watch out for. They worked in pairs to draw different types of boats. They are pretty cool, please take a look.
