A1 and P1 Literacy Task 22/04/20

Good morning boys and girls!

How are you all this morning?  I can’t wait to see your spring hand print paintings you made yesterday!   I hope you are all ready for PE with Joe again at 9am.

After you have done your exercises, remember to have a big drink of water before settling down to this morning’s PM writing task.

Today we are continuing to learn about sentences.  Have a look at the story above.  Let’s recap on what we learned last week by asking the children to read/listen to the sentences then:

  • Identify the sentences that tell us who is in the story and where the story is set.
  • Identify the sentences that describe what happened first, then and after that.
  • Talk about how the writer felt about the big tree.

Next, look inside your pack for “The Big Tree – Activity 3”.

recount_big_tree_activity 3

The purpose of this activity is to use nouns to complete sentences and to use nouns to label an image.  You can use the word bank at the side to help you.  When you are finished make sure you read each sentence back to yourself to ensure it makes sense.  Remember to write your name and date at the top.  Take your time and use your neatest handwriting!

P1/A1 Tuesday 21st April – Art

Good afternoon everyone, we hope you have enjoyed your morning.

Since spring is definitely in the air, we thought you might like to create some spring flowers pictures using yourown handprints.

You could use paint, crayons, coloured pencils or you could cut and stick some different types of paper or use your own idea.

Here are some photos for inspiration!

 

         

                                        

We would love you to share some of your pictures with us.

Thank you, Mrs Topping and Mrs Bryce

A1 and P1 Oral Narrative

Good afternoon boys and girls!

I hope you have all had a lovely morning and enjoyed your lunch.

Time for a story!  Please watch ‘And Then It’s Spring’ written by Julie Fogliano and illustrated by Erin E. Stead.

Now, talk to a family member about the different things that happen in Spring.  How does the weather change?  How do our gardens change?  What changes do we need to make to our clothing after winter?

Lastly, go out into your garden and take a photo or collect some things that represent Spring!  Can you make  picture with your findings?  We would love to see what you make!

Have fun!  Mrs Bryce and Mrs Topping

P1 Science

Good afternoon P1 for science this week I am going to set you a challenge to do one of the following activities and ask your parents or carer to  email me a picture of your results so I can share with everyone on the blog.

email: stephen.riding@westlothian.org.uk

 

Sadly last time I did not receive any emails so I am hoping for a better response today.

 

P1 Kitchen science – Invisible Ink P1 Kitchen science – Rainbow in a glass

P1 Kitchen science – Invisible Ink

The attached documents give instructions of how to carry out the kitchen science and explain the science behind what is happening. Adults please please please explain the science behind the experiment either when you are doing it or afterwards. 

P1 Monday 20th April – Numeracy

Hello again, hope you managed to answer some of Joe Wick’s quiz questions during your work out and I am sure you came up with some really good ee words for your Literacy tasks earlier.

Let’s join in with today’s Fischy Music Assembly:

You could maybe listen to the Elevenses story of “Stacey Superstar” from David Walliams later on if you have time.

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

Now let’s refresh our memories about how to take away with our subtraction song:

Next, you will find today’s SUBTRACTION tasks on Study Ladder.

There are 2 activities and one of them is the Tutorial so don’t forget to watch that first.

Your username and password are on the inside cover of your jotter in your pack in case you have forgotten it!

When you have completed the Study Ladder tasks try to write 10 subtraction calculations of your own in your jotter and remember to keep them within 10  e.g.  9 – 3 = 6  etc.

If you need to, use a number line or some concrete materials you have at home to help e.g. beads, counters, straws, paper clips etc.

You could even draw some pictures of fruit or animals and cross them out to show you have taken them away – whichever works best for you.

Thank you, Mrs Topping
