Good morning boys and girls, can you believe that is it June already? I cant!

Today i am going to set you a challenge that you can complete throughout the day that includes literacy, maths and ICT skills. I am doing this, because i know that the weather has been lovely over the weekend and I want you to make the most of it by being outdoors whilst learning at the same time.

Bug Hunt – Grab a piece of paper and a pen or a pencil, a phone/iPad/camera then head outdoors.

1. Try to find as many different bugs as possible. Take pictures.
2. Do you know what kind of bug it is?

I would like you to get 3 facts about each bug you find. Using your research skills, you can look up each bug on the internet.

Can you find more than one of the same bug? How many did you find? Calculate and keep score. Which one did you see the most of?

Can you draw a picture of each bug to go with the three facts?

By the end of this challenge you should have a book of fact files all about bugs that you can share with your family and myself over email!

This is a challenge that you can complete yourself or with a family member.

Have a lovely day everyone

Please have a look at the assembly presentation from this week’s assembly.  Can you spot your own picture?  Can you spot work that your friends or buddies have been working on?  There is information going onto Twitter and the blog later today about the INspire challenges and scavenger hunt challenges set by Miss Anderson and one of our P6 pupils!  I hope you all enjoy getting involved with these over the weekend.  Stay safe everyone!

I thought we could finish off our Under the Sea Topic with a cosmic kids yoga video all about the Ocean!

I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing weekend. Enjoy the weather, put suncream on and stay hydrated!

Good morning everyone!

As usual, our Friday morning literacy task is wordboost.

Attached is

1. a worksheet that you can either print and write on or you can answer the questions in your jotter.
2. a definition sheet for your adults.
3. a youtube video of your story – Baby Brains.

Adults, the aim of word boost is for the children to identify the words on your definition sheet within the story, learn the definition and then use these words throughout the week.

Enjoy,

Miss Hamill 🙂

Art time!

Today I thought we could all do a bit of weaving! Now here is a list of things you will need for this activity.

• Googly eye (or make one out of paper)
• White or black card stock paper
• Scissors/glue
• Colour paper

First, you need to cut out a shape of a sea creature, I have attached a picture of a fish but you could choose something else.

Then you need to cut straight lines across the shape of the animal.

Then you need to weave your strips of coloured paper over and under through the straight lines.

Finally, you can decorate your animal!

Blackburn Primary Online Newspaper

Go to this Sway

Here is the link for P5/6/7’s first online newspaper.  We would love to receive feedback!

Could we create a Blackburn Community Newspaper?  There are so many amazing stories out there in Blackburn and it would be amazing to have new ways to share them!
