Bonjour primary 3! Aujourd’hui c’est Mercredi vingt neuf Avril, we’re nearly into May! We hope that your week has been interesting and productive so far and it has been so lovely chatting to you all and seeing examples of the work you’ve been doing. We couldn’t be more proud of how hard you’ve been working and how much enthusiasm you’ve shown! We will put the work you’ve been sending in the Class photos file in Teams for you to all have a look at. If you are able to, we will be doing a check-in on Teams today at 1:30 and we hope to chat to you all then. If you can’t make it today we will do another check in next Wednesday with a time still to be decided.
For your maths for today we are looking at 3D shapes and their properties. Try to do what you can of the work task and then watch this short video which explains some of the more difficult shape words that we haven’t yet covered in class to finish off filling in the table: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nLpD6bE4fE
For each reading book here is a writing task for you to complete, please remember capital letters and full stops, joined writing and correct spelling. Write at least half a page of A4 for your writing but please feel free to write more if you can.
The Frog Prince
This story is all about being a good friend. Your writing task is to write about a time you have been a good friend to someone. Describe where you were, who you were with, what happened and how you felt during what was happening.
Attack of the Buzzles
In Attack of the Buzzles they land on a strange alien planet. Write a story about you exploring a strange alien planet. What does it look like, are there aliens there and what do they look like and sound like? How does it feel to be on a strange planet? What do you do on the planet?
Attack of the Centipede
In the story Tiger is shrunk and has an adventure with a centipede. Your writing task is to pretend you have been shrunk and placed in your garden/ a local park. What creatures might you see and what do they look like when you are small? How do you feel as you explore the world around you and describe in detail how everything looks after you have been shrunk. What kind of an adventure might you have where you are in your story?
Eric’s Talking Ears
Eric is able to talk to animals at the zoo who then try and escape the zoo. Your writing task is to imagine you are one of the animals and you do end up escaping the zoo. What animal are you, describe yourself. Where do you go and what do you do when you escape the zoo? How did it feel to live in the zoo and how does it feel now that you are out of the zoo? What kind of adventures do you go on outside the zoo?

Primary 1 – Home Learning 29.04.20
Happy Vendredi Primary 1!
This morning we thought it would be a nice idea for you to explore Glasgow Science Centre’s video on how to create your own bird feeder. There are bound to be lots of hungry birds in your own garden so why not make them feel at home with a handmade bird feeder? Maybe you could even try to identify some of the birds you see in your garden and make a note of how many birds visit each day? If you are interested, Glasgow Science Centre also will be bringing a bit of science into your home every day at 10am to help keep everyone inspired in these challenging times, so please feel free to explore some of their other videos too.
Link to Glasgow Science Centre website: https://www.glasgowsciencecentre.org/gsc-at-home
The bird feeder will allow you to give the birds in your local area a helping hand while recycling some materials you have at home. You can access the Glasgow Science Centre’s bird feeder video by following the link below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsVsx7jFifw&feature=youtu.be
For this activity you will need:
- a clean yogurt pot
- seeds (or you can also use nuts/raisins/sultanas/apples/bananas)
- string
- a pencil
- a bowl
- lard (or substitutes like peanut butter, almond butter mixed with flour or vegetable/beef suet)
When you have created your bird feeder, think about how the materials you have used feel. For example are they sticky, squidgy, soft, fluffy, hard, rough, wet, light or heavy? We would love to see some examples of your bird feeders on the learning journals! Maybe you could even take a picture of a hungry bird eating the seeds?
If you would like to access the step by step guide you can follow the instructions in the document below:
Thank you for all of your support,

Primary 1 – Sharing the Learning
Hi Primary 1!
We thought we would share some examples of the work we have seen this week on the Learning Journals with you.
Here are some super examples of the boys and girls across Primary 1 that have made their own analogue clocks!
Here are some other fantastic examples of learning across the curriculum this week:
Primary 1 Home Learning 28.04.20
Good morning Primary 1! Happy Jeudi!
We hope that you are still enjoying learning from home and that you are still finding lots of time to play, relax and enjoy time with your family.
Our school is currently working towards getting the Gold Rights Respecting School Award. UNICEF have provided a set of remote learning activities that you can access at home to encourage children to learn about their rights in fun engaging ways. This week they are focusing on Article 12 – Respect for the views of the child. This article is particularly important right now when so many of the mechanisms for children’s voice to be heard are absent during this crisis. The activities related to ‘Respecting Children’s Views’ can be found below. Can you pick one of the tasks to complete and post your work on to the Learning Journals? We would love to see some examples of your work!
You can also access the full document of activities related to the Article of the Week below:
If you are interested, last week’s pack on ‘Article 24 – The Right to Healthcare’ is still available online. Please share any work on the RRSA facebook community group, or on Twitter under the hashtag #RRSA.
If you would like to go further you can get involved in the Unicef campaign to promote the voices and needs of children in lockdown. Unicef have produced a report into the risks to children during this crisis and our Youth Advisory Board have written an open letter asking the UK Government to directly address children in a special coronavirus broadcast. If you want to help you can add your name to the letter by accessing the following link:
Thank you for your continued support,
Primary 1 teachers
Primary 2 28.4.20
Bonjour la classe!
We hope you are successfully making your way through the learning grids. Remember you must try to complete one literacy task, one numeracy task and an across the curriculum task.
This week’s RRS article is Article 12: Every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously.
Are you able to complete some of the activities on the slide? If so make sure you keep what ever you have made or take a picture and post it on Learning Journals.
Some of the activities we think you could do is:
- Write a creative story, a poem, a short play script or a piece of art using the title ‘Head My Voice’.
- Have you ever thanked people at home who are good at listening to you? Design a card or picture, or write a letter to thank them for hearing your voice.
- Design a poster for display about the importance of Article 12.
BBC Bitesize have been posting 3 lessons a day. Yesterday they did one on letter formations and alliteration. Why don’t you give it a go!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zh8c47h
You can check this website every day to see if there is a lesson you would like to complete. They are brilliant and well resourced.
Also on your Across the Curricular grid, we said we would post a recipe for you to use to make EID biscuits. If you manage to make them please let us know how you get on.

Hello Primary 2,
How was your weekend? The weather was beautiful so we hope you managed to get outside and enjoy it. The forecast says the nice weather isn’t going to last unfortunately. You can check out the weeks weather forecast on https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast-video.
Last week we posted two weeks’ worth of learning grids so you should now be looking at the grids beginning 27.04.20. We have also attached them to make it easier for you to find them. As always, please choose one literacy, one numeracy and one learning across the curriculum activity each day. We have loved seeing photos of you completing your tasks on your online learning journals. If you need your password reset either email the school office or comment below and we will be able to help.
Amazon audible have also made all their audio stories free while the schools are closed. There are so many stories to choose from. Visit https://stories.audible.com/discovery and let us know what you pick!
If you are looking for more number work check out https://nrich.maths.org/primary. There are lots of great online and offline resources you could use to further develop your number and mathematical skills.

Good morning!
We hope that you had a fantastic weekend with your family. What did you get up to? We hope that you managed to spend some time outside. Miss Christy, Miss Daun and Miss Cunningham are all missing you so thank you so much to everyone who has posted on the Learning Journals to show us all your hard work. Every time we see a photo it makes us smile!
This week we are continuing our learning through the learning grid format.
Here are the literacy activities for the week:
The maths activities:
And some activities from other areas of the curriculum:
These learning grids will also be sent out through the Learning Journal messages where you can download them onto your computer, tablet or phone. This week we have trialed using a short video to teach new concepts in maths. Please let us know if this is helpful for the children. We are hoping to use this format more in the next few weeks and hope that it eases some of the teaching pressure at home. The video will be sent through a dropbox link in the Learning Journal messages. We will also be sending out a message with your child’s reading homework.
Thank you for all your support in this time. We really appreciate all the hard work you are putting in to maintaining some sort of normal at this time for the children.

Happy Vendredi Primary 1!
I hope you’ve all had a lovely time learning from home this week. It has been wonderful to see all of you working so hard and enjoying learning at home with your family. Thank you for continuing to share all of your hard work with us on the Learning Journals. We have shared some of the best work we have seen on the school blog and will continue to celebrate all of your efforts next week! Did anyone manage to go outdoors and see some of the signs of Spring of Spring this week? Maybe you were able to spot some daffodils, bumblebees and baby lambs in the fields? The weather has been beautiful, I hope you’ve all been outside enjoying the sunshine!
We will provide you with some fun new activities on Monday so it’s a great time to finish off any of the activities on the home learning grids this morning. We hope that you are finding the grids useful and that you are managing to access all of the resources you need. If you have any questions or feedback about the activities we are providing, please get in touch with us on the learning journals or school blog. Thank you for all of your support with this.
Fridays are truly the beginning of the weekend and it’s a great time to start winding down for some ‘Fun Family Friday’ time. We would like you to spend some quality time with your family today, whether that’s in the garden, going for a walk, baking a cake or playing a board game. It’s so important for us to stay healthy, happy and connected during this time. You could even perhaps give an aunt, uncle, grandparent or friend a phone call to catch up on what you have been getting up to at home this week. Or you could write a letter to a friend or family member if you have time.
Get Set have posted some free resources, activities and challenges for the whole family to enjoy. Here are some examples of the active challenges you can take part in today:
GET ACTIVE
- Train to win activity sheet – keep kids active at home by challenging them to try a simple activity such as star jumps, jumping jacks or line jumps (jumping from one side of a line to the other with your feet together and knees bent) each day and track their personal best.
- Domes and dishes – try to fun group game in the garden or living room to get active and explore the Olympic Value of respect. Use cones if available, or paper plates, books, or toys – anything that you can turn over!
- Play Boccia – read the rules for the Paralympic sport of boccia and see if you can adapt and play a game in or outside of the house!
- Winter team sports challenge – try these adapted (no snow required) versions of sports from the Olympic Winter Games.
The activity guides, information sheets and further information about these activities can be found in the document below:
Have a lovely weekend!
Primary 1 teachers
Primary 3 Friday 24th April 2020
How are you all Primary 3? Still keeping safe and well I hope! Happy Friday!
Every Friday, we will upload a challenge for our new technology topic (chosen by you). This will involve a tiny bit of research through reading or watching something and then an activity to go with the new information you have learned. Today’s challenge is a little introduction to technology.
We have seen lots of examples of you working through the activities on your learning grid which is great. Remember that Education City is also available to supplement Maths and Literacy too. Should you need a reminder of your password, please do not hesitate to message Mr Woodward and I. We will be happy to pass it on.
As you all are aware, we have our Rights Respecting Schools Article 24 as a focus for this week also. The theme with this is Health, water, food and the environment share using: #RRSA on Twitter, or share it on the RRSA Facebook community page.
West Lothian would also like to keep up to date with all of the amazing Health work we are doing, whether it be daily exercise, obstacle courses in the garden, baking and cooking or hand-washing to name a few. They would love to encourage you to share your work with them also following @WLHWBchamps on twitter and use the hashtag #WLHWBathome whenever you are doing anything HWB related.
Here is a little Friday Mental Maths. Time yourself to see how speedily and accurately you can solve the questions. You can choose which one you wish to do, or indeed, try both! Answers will be posted later today.
Also – don’t forget that today is a Friday, therefore, you have definitely earned your 30 minutes of free time today.
Have a great weekend,
Miss Smith and Mr Woodward.
Primary 2 24.4.20
It’s FRIDAY!
Another week of home learning nearly complete. Well done to you all and a huge well done to all the Mummy’s and Daddy’s at home helping support your learning. You are all doing an amazing job!
We hope you have managed to access the learning grids and completed half of the jobs on there. Remember you will use this learning grid for next week too. It has been great to have your feedback on the blog and through Learning Journals. Some of you have made a great start and it’s been lovely seeing all the photographs of your hard work.
On Friday we normally do a spelling test with your phonics words, so why don’t you get an adult or older sibling to test you on your spelling words to see if you can get full marks. Then challenge yourself to write a sentence (that makes sense) with as many spelling words as you can. Good luck!
BBC Bitesize have been posting 3 lessons a day. Today, one of their lessons is about friendship/how to be a good friend. Why don’t you have a go at watching the short clips and completing some of the activities. It is a great way to remember our friends as I’m sure some of you are missing each other.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zhmpnrd
On a Friday we have free time……..I trust that you all have your full 30 minutes so make sure you have some down time and play with some of your own toys. Remember we all have the right to PLAY! You could post some pictures of you playing in Learning Journals- this would be great evidence for our RRSA.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend, stay safe and hopefully be able to get out and enjoy the sunshine.
Miss Rafferty and Miss Pringle
Primary 1’s learning this week
Good afternoon!
Here are some more pictures of the super work Primary 1 have been up to over the past few days.
We are so impressed by the dragon pictures you have drawn, what talented artists we have in P1!
We are also pleased to see so many of you completing activities from the Rights Respecting Schools Award. It is great to see you are all keeping healthy!
You have also been busy completing the learning grids. We are impressed with the progress all the boys and girls are making, but here are a few highlights…
Primary 3 Thursday 24th April 2020
Bonjour and good morning to you all!
Today’s Maths task is based on different number systems, focusing on the Roman number system. The Roman number system is slightly different to ours in that they used capital letters to represent their numbers. The letters are I, V, X, L, C, D and M. See if you can use this to complete the worksheet today. Click on this link to be taken straight to the pdf Roman-numerals
or here is a screenshot of the sheet if you do not have software to download. 
In the files and Literacy tab in teams, the new word boost screens have been uploaded. See whether your answers to the definitions task set in the assignments are correct!
We have also uploaded a little lesson video on multiplication with carrying numbers. If you would like more of these, please let us know. Equally, if you found these helpful, or otherwise let us know so we can learn from this going forward. If they were a success, we may look to doing this and uploading more for more curriculum areas. Check out yesterday’s blog post and also your class Maths file on Teams for the videos.

Good morning Primary 1,
If you had time to do the Enormous Turnip drama yesterday we hope you enjoyed it! It is a great way to demonstrate and practise your drama skills.
What signs of spring have you been noticing? It is amazing to see the changes around us as we move from winter to spring. Do you have a favourite season and if so why is it your favourite? My favourite season is spring because the weather turns warmer and beautiful flowers bloom.
Today, we thought you might like to try some art. Steve Harpster does great how to draw videos for children.
The following link will take you to a video where he teaches us how to draw a dragon using a heart:
Even though Valentine’s Day has passed we thought it would be a lovely thing to draw since our topic is fairyland and we want to share lots of love during this time. Once you are finished, we would love to see your drawings on your learning journals. Good luck!
Stay safe and have super-duper Thursday!

PE 2.6 challenges
Good morning everyone. I hope you have been keeping active at home. I’m sure this lovely weather will be helping with that.
Did you know that the London Marathon was meant to take place this Sunday , 26th April? Maybe you knew someone who was going to be taking part or you know someone who has completed this endurance running event in the past. It will hopefully take place later on this year.
A marathon distance is 26.2 miles. That’s like running from Livingston to Stirling Castle ( Wow!) Since no one can run the marathon this weekend some of the charities involved with the marathon have decided to set a 2 point six challenge and I’d like you to see if you can do any of these challenges?
https://www.twopointsixchallenge.co.uk/inspiration.html
or maybe even come up with your own based around the number 2.6 or 26. eg
26 star jumps
balance on 1 foot for 2.6 secs ( or 2.6 minutes!)
Throw a ball to brother/sister 26 times
Here are some ideas from the website
https://www.twopointsixchallenge.co.uk/inspiration.html
Post a reply to let me know what you managed to do.

Primary 3 Wednesday 22nd April 2020
Good morning Primary Three, I hope we are all managing to access all of the resources so far and are having fun trying out the music resource from Monday’s blog post. No-one has said they had any problems with the multiplication in Maths involving carrying, but please let us know if you need a little refresher on this and we will be happy to post a little reminder.
Just a quick reminder of login details for the reading resource:

An assignment has gone live for this week’s word boost words. If you have access to Teams, watch and listen to the story then see if you can write the definitions of the word boost words. The pdf of the power point we use on a Thursday will go up tomorrow with the answers!
Just for information, today also marks the 50th anniversary of World Earth Day.
Go to https://www.earthday.org/earth-day-live/ Have a look at the Earth Day Live Global Programme on this page to see if anything takes your fancy throughout the day! There are speakers, performances, meditation and street art, with everyone taking part, fighting to stop climate change.
Some shape based maths for you to try today:
Writing: Our topic this term is technology. Can you write a short story about what it might be like to be a robot being switched on for the first time? (think C3PO in The Phantom Menace). What would you see, who would you see, what would you feel and think? What would you do in your first day as a robot? What type of robot are you, could you describe yourself? How would you describe the world around you?
