A1 and P1 Literacy Tasks 29/05/20

Good Morning boys and girls!

Let’s do our PE with Joe nice and early before it gets too hot:

Remember to drink lots of water when you exercise, especially when it is so hot.  Now let’s get ready for literacy this morning by singing a song:

Please look at pages 18 and 19 of the ‘Exciting Learning Opportunities’:

Early_Years_Home_Learning_Collection

First, let’s talk about stars… Where and when will you see them? Use this as an opportunity to enrich your language and to
have conversations.

Now we are going to learn some facts about stars.  Using the internet, can you find out a new fact about stars.  Write down your fact in your jotter.

Next, make your own stars.  You can do this any way you like. You can draw a picture or do some cutting and sticking or you could even use a star shaped cutter to make stars out of play dough or biscuit dough.

Why not create your own rocket ship  to fly to the stars? You could make this from old boxes, plastic containers, scrap materials and other bits and bobs you can find. Cutting, creating, designing, imagining and inventing are all great learning opportunities. Where will your rocket ship travel to? Will there be a count down… 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, blast off?

Your last task is to write a short story about your journey into space on the rocket ship you have created.  I cannot wait to see what you make at home this morning!

Remember to send me in some photos!

A1 and P1 Numeracy Tasks 28/05/20

Hi there!

Before Numeracy, lets cosy in and listen to David Walliam’s story time:

https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

Now it is time for Numeracy and today we are learning about months of the year:

Now… log on to your Education City account.  I have assigned you some tasks within the ‘Months of the Year’ folder for you to complete.

Lastly, I would like you to write out all of the months of the year and next to each month, I would like you to draw a picture of something that reminds you of that month.  You might want to include your birthday, a special celebration, a change in weather or a special memory that you have.

Have fun!  Miss Robertson will be posting an Oral Narrative task after lunch then I will be back around 2pm for food technology and yoga!

Remember to email me if you have any problems or even better… email me pictures of your hard work!

A1 and P1 Literacy Tasks 28/05/20

Good morning boys and girls!

Who is ready for PE with Joe this morning?

Now it’s time for our reading tasks.  Let’s see what Unicorn and Haggis have in store for us today!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9vbkqt/articles/zmcbhbk

First, watch the video and Join Ena as she learns all about different characters in books with Unicorn and Haggis.

Next, read the book ‘See Yourself’ with a family member.  Talk about the pictures and what is happening in the story.

Now… Unicorn and Haggis want you to “image you’re the hero who set the village free! See yourself in every book, what person will you be?”

Lastly, I want you to draw yourself as a hero and write a short story to tell us all about it.  What brave thing will you do?  Who will you help?  What will you be wearing?  Use the last page of the book to help you.

I cannot wait to read your stories!

A1/P1 ‘Spell’ing 27/05/20

Good afternoon A1/P1. I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather we are getting.
Here is a ‘spell’ing task you can do outside in the sun or indoors. All you need is some empty bottles, water, food colouring if you have it and a bowl for your cauldron.
You can use the examples on the pictures below or create your own spell sheets. Then all you need to do is write the sounds on the bottles and help your child pour the sounds together to make their spell words. You could even add some glitter to your water for a sparkly potion.
This is a fun activity to help develop their spelling and phonics knowledge. Having the kids help pour the water and screwing the lids is another great way to help develop their fine motor skills.
I hope you all have fun creating you ‘Spell’ing potions and I look forward to seeing all your pictures.

P1 and A1 Wednesday 27th May – Data Handling

Hello again everyone!

Listen in to Elevenses with David Walliams at 11.00am

http://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

We have covered lots of work on 3D Shape over the last few weeks so today we are going to look at something different – DATA HANDLING

Data handling means different ways of collecting, organising and displaying information.

Today we will begin by learning about different ways of sorting information.

Watch and listen to the clip below.

In this clip you learned about sorting by colour, shape and size.

There are many other ways of sorting – think about how you could sort the members of your family into groups:

  • adults or children
  • male or female
  • tall or short
  • long hair or short hair

 

  • Can you think of more/different ways of sorting people or vehicles or food?
  • Talk about different ways with a family member.
  • Next, we are going to learn about ways of sorting pets
  • Your activities have been set on Education City

http://go.educationcity.com

Click on:

  • Find P1/A1 Maths Folder
  • Complete the 3  “Pet’s Corner” activities
  • You do not need to print the Activity Sheet – draw the animals and write the ways of sorting them in your jotter instead
  • Criteria just means different ways of sorting

A1 and P1 Literacy Task

Good Morning boys and girls,

Lets get energised with Joe again this morning:

It is time for this week’s PM writing task.  Today we are learning about sentences.

At home, support the children to:

  • read the the sentences aloud and identify the sentences that tell who and where.
  • identify the sentences that tell what happened first, then and after that.
  • read the last sentence and find out how the writer felt when the bird flew away.

Now, in your pack you will find ‘The Bird and the Cat – Activity 3’.

recount_bird_and_cat-activity3

The purpose of this task is

a) To write nouns to complete sentences.
b) To write the letters to complete each noun.

Using the word bank at the side, complete the sentences and write the labels on the picture.  Remember to check each sentence makes sense.

At 11am David Walliams will be reading the next 3 chapters of ‘Bad Dad’, so I hope you enjoy snuggling up and listening:

P1 and A1 Tuesday 26th May – Art

Good afternoon everyone! Hope you enjoyed your Oral narrative activity.

We are sure lots of you have some empty egg boxes around for recycling. Why don’t you recycle them by creating something colourful with them?

Here are some ideas or you could use your imagination and create something different.

  

We would love you to share what you make with us so post your photos on the blog or email them to us. Thank you.

Have fun!
