A1/P1 Outdoor Learning – Earthworms.
Good Afternoon guys.
Now I know how much my little class love to play with worms…………..yuck! I thought we could do some investigations to help us learn a bit more about our wiggly friends. Relax and listen to the story I have linked below and then we can go ‘undercover’ and learn all about Mr Worm!
In the story Grandma and the boy conduct several investigations that we could do too!
- Have a look in your garden under your garden toys or furniture. Or if you don’t have a garden when you are out for your daily exercise have a look out for leaves that have been pulled into holes in the ground, our wiggly friends may be hiding here.
- Try to get an earthworm to come to the surface by pouring some water on a patch of ground, this may take a little while.
- Once you see a worm have a good look at it. How do you know which end is the head? Usually a worm moves forward so its head would be at the front. The head is also more pointed.
- The earthworm is made of ring like segments, can you count them?
- If you feel like it place the earthworm in you hand, is it cold, is it slimy?
- Can you feel the little segments as the earthworm moves each segment has little hairlike bristles on them, these are called Setae.
Please remember if you touch the worms be GENTLE and ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS!!
Have fun
Maisie.

P2/3 HWB – Monday 27th April
I would like everyone to continue with their Kindness Journals this week. I was so happy to receive some lovely pictures of kind acts that some of you had completed throughout last week.
We definitely have the kindest children in our class and that makes me very proud :)!
As well as your journal, today I would like you to get comfortable with your family, and if possible watch Wall-E. Build a blanket den, get some juice, get cosy and watch a Space related movie. I will be doing the same with my family. You can find Wall-E on Disney+, Amazon Movies and Sky.
I hope you all had a wonderful day.
Miss Hamill 🙂

A1 STEM 27/4/20
Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend and were able to enjoy some of the lovely weather.
As it is Spring, I thought this afternoon we could try to find out what Spring looks like.
I would like you to make your own photo frame, this could be from anything you have – cardboard, lollipop sticks, twigs … and decorate it to make it bright and colourful.
Then I would like you to go outside and try to take photos of what you think Spring looks like. This could be flowers starting to grow, green leaves on the trees, bugs/insects. If you can post your photos to Twitter I would love to see what you can all find. Here are some ideas to inspire you – Photo frames We made ours from an Easter Egg box and coloured it in.
Have fun, Miss McLuckie
