We had a lovely afternoon with Claire White learning about the process of writing a song. Everyone loved her fiddle playing and singing and enjoyed learning about the story of Betty Mouat and hearing her song. Then we had a go at writing our own song lyrics. There were some super ideas and lovely Shetland dialect too.
We had a great trip to the Lerwick museum where we saw lots of real artefacts and learned about crofting life in Shetland in the past.
We enjoyed another super trip out to visit the Quendale watermill. Joyce and John were great guides, teaching us about how the mill worked and the life and work of the miller and crofters in the past. There was so much to see that lots of people thought they would have to come back again.
Primary 2/3/4 enjoyed this workshop exploring their feelings and learning how to regulate them.
We all enjoyed a wonderful and exciting day on SMUHA Day, last Friday 10th March.
Well here we are again, another snow day. I hope you are all well and keeping cosy. As always I would encourage everyone to get outside and enjoy playing in the snow if they can, that will be your PE for today!
Here are a few more suggestions to add to last weeks ones that you can try at home if you are able to:
Maths
There is times tables practice on Sumdog for all the p3/4 children.
Literacy
Read your reading book or another book from home.
Watch a film and write a short review of it-What was it about, what did you think of it?
Play a board game.
Art
Make a collage picture of a snowman/snowy scene with scraps of paper/materials at home.
Here we are again, another unexpected snow day. I hope you were all able to enjoy some time outdoors in the lovely sunny weather yesterday afternoon.
Here are some activities you can try today.
Maths-multiplication
Practice multiplying with snowballs!
Make lots of snowballs and set them out in equal groups e.g. 4 groups of 2 4X2= 5 groups of 3 5X3= etc. Then have a snowball fight!
If you can’t get outside do the same with objects inside. (But don’t throw them!)
Write out your favourite times table and practice it.
Write out your least favourite and practice it.
P2 Maths Group
Snowy number stories: 18 snowflakes fell on Monday, 10 on Tuesday and 7 on Wednesday. How many fell altogether? Now make up your own snow number story and draw a picture to go with it.
Literacy
Read your reading book if you have it at home or any book of your own at home.
Make a snowman (or snow Viking ) Draw a picture and write a story about him/her (or just write some words to describe him/her)
Your spelling words for this week are live on Sumdog now also.
Try to find the Up Helly Aa song online (if you don’t know the words) and practice singing for Friday!
Here we are preparing for SMUHA. We have been painting torches, designing shields, making helmets and colouring the lovely Galley pictures that Willum brought in to share with the class. Thank you Willum!
