Good morning P2/3!

Are we all ready for our #PEwithJoe this morning? I know I am!

After your morning workout I would like you to have a look through the powerpoint attached below – it’s all about the First Man on the Moon! After that, I would love you to have a go at the quiz to see what you have learned – it’s a bit like the quiz show Who Wants to be a Millionaire and I thought it would be a fun way to do some comprehension.

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

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.

A1- P1 Craft Activity – Let’s Make Music!!

April 20, 2020 User deactivated 1 Comment

Good afternoon boys and girls I hope you are all having a good day and enjoying your home school tasks today! I was watching the ‘One World’ concert on TV last night and had a thought, we all love music and it makes us smile. So I thought why don’t we make our own instruments at home, using any junk/recycling we have. You could make drums from tin cans, shakers with plastic bottles and rice or lentils( if your parents agree), microphones or like me a guitar! I have a link to a video below that will give you some ideas but just use your imagination. Please, Please, email them or put them on twitter if you can.

We could maybe even have our own concert!!

Here is the Guitar I made!

P2/3 HWB – Monday 20th April 2020

Well boys and girls, I bet there has been a lot of fantastic work done today in all of your households.

Our last activity today is to being a mini project that you are in charge of. Your last task is to create a Kindness Journal. You can make your journal by folding bits of A4 paper in half and creating a booklet, you can create it on Microsoft Word, you could even create a video recorded journal. In your journal, I am looking for you to record things that you have done throughout the day that have been kind, that may have helped someone in your house, that may have made someone feel good. At the end of the week, i will ask you to share some of your kind acts that you have done throughout the week. Parents can either send these to me via twitter or via email in the form of word documents or pictures when the time comes.

Your first task is to decorate your journal however you like.

I can wait to hear about all the wonderfully kind things you have all been doing.

Miss Hamill 🙂

Good afternoon A1

I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and enjoyed the sunshine.

If you have managed to get out for your daily exercise you may have noticed lots of rainbows in windows, so I thought we would base our STEM experiments around rainbows this afternoon!

There are 3 different experiments for you to try, all you need is kitchen roll and water, baking soda, vinegar and food colouring (things I hope you have in your house already).

Rainbow Science Experiments

If you can upload your pictures to Twitter or send some photos to Mrs Bryce I would live to see how you get on.
