Make sure you have a drink and a rest before your next activity!

Thursday 13th August – P2/3/4 – Numeracy
Hello again everyone, can’t wait to see your “Back to School” alphabets. Were sure you came up with some great ideas!!
Now it’s time to relax and listen to today’s story, “The Library Lion” by Michelle Knudsen.
https://www.storylineonline.net/books/library-lion/
Let’s get active and count as we join in with counting to 100.
- P2 children – recall and record all number bonds for 10 (if children manage this then try to extend this activity by identifying number bonds for 20)
- P3 and P4 children – recall and record all number bonds for 20
Try to use everyday objects from around your home e.g. cubes, counters, lego, small toys etc. to help if you need it.
Finish off by playing the Number Bonds for 10 game and then increase the target number to 20 if you are feeling confident.

Remember to check back in after lunch time.

Thursday 13th August – P2/3/4 – Literacy
Good morning everyone!
We hope you all survived your first day back at school. It was lovely to be able to welcome you all back!
Let’s begin this morning’s Literacy session by singing and moving with this alphabet song.
- Practise singing or saying the alphabet with a family member.
- Next, create a picture grid of a “Back to School” alphabet by either drawing a picture or writing a word for each letter of the alphabet that you might associate with returning to school
- e.g A – art, B – break , C – classroom etc.
- To finish off, have a go at this fun alphabet game. You will need to be on your toes as it is very fast. Good luck!!

Here is Challenge 4:
- Prepare some healthy snacks for the participants to enjoy after the event. Here are some examples but we are sure you have lots of ideas of your own!!
- The athletes will also need plenty of water to keep them hydrated – you might want to make some ice if you have some trays or bags to do so!

P1 and A1 Health and Well Being – 19/06/20
Hello again boys and girls!
Remember to listen in to a story about an “Awful Auntie”, with David Walliams at 11.00am.
http://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/
For Health and Well being today, we are going to think about being included and what that means.
What do you think it means to be included?
Watch and listen to this short clip about inclusion.
Think and talk to a family member about what an includer is.
- Someone who welcomes you
- Someone who thinks of others
- Someone who is fun!
Think and talk about how Kaia felt when she was included.
Think and talk about how Kaia felt when she wasn’t included.
Think about all the things you are included in and how they make you feel.
Can you make a list of them?
- family
- class
- school
- community
Can you add other things you are included in to your list?
- Play a game where everyone in your home is included – it could be board game or even I Spy…..
Have fun and remember to be an INCLUDER!
Next week is the last week of this school session and throughout the week we will be preparing for our Virtual Sports Day which will take place on Friday 26th June.
On each day next week, you will receive a new Health and Well Being Challenge which you will help you get ready for the Sports Day so stay tuned to the Blog and remember to send us some photos on the Blog, Twitter or email.
Thank you for all your hard work this week and have a lovely weekend!
See you on Monday.
