Good morning Primary 1s.<\/p>\n
We are missing you loads and hope that you and your family are keeping safe. We have loved seeing some of the work you have done at home on the Learning Journals. If you have not yet posted then please do over the next few days. It is a great way for you to share your hard work and for us to stay in contact with each child. If you have forgotten your password or haven\u2019t used this platform before, please email the school office and one of us will sort you out! Alternatively, you can post a comment on the blog and we can help you with any queries you have there.
\nYou should still have your \u2018Home Learning\u2019 pack given out last week and we encourage you to keep working through the activities there. Our plan is to issue a new set of learning grids (similar to the Homework sheet) each week on Monday, but please don\u2019t feel any pressure to have completed all of last week\u2019s work by then. We are trying to be as flexible as possible because we appreciate that every household will have different conditions to work within.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s suggested learning activities are:<\/span> Maths<\/strong>– In maths this week we have been learning to split a number of objects or a shape into halves and quarters. If there is a particular activity your child enjoyed doing throughout the week why not try it again. Think about when we use halves and quarters in real life. For example, when making lunch you might cut your sandwiches in half, or if there are 4 people in your house you might give each person a quarter of an amount of sweeties after tea? Get creative and post your everyday examples on the learning journals. We might post some of your best ideas on the blog next week?! Make sure that you child understands that each part of the half or quarter must be the same (equal). Sometimes in class I do examples where I don’t share the objects equally and ask the children to say why it\u2019s not fair! If you want to continue this learning, there are a few good games on Education City. Log on to the website and search under \u2018subjects\u2019 for numeracy. Then click on Early***. The games appropriate for the learning this week are called: Fairytales<\/strong>– Continue with your challenge to create Jack\u2019s beanstalk. We have really enjoyed seeing the progress in these creations on the Learning Journals and are looking into ways of sharing your pictures with everyone. Once your beanstalk is made, why don\u2019t you act out the story of Jack and the Beanstalk using toy figures in your house. You could always make puppets of the main characters by drawing them on paper, cutting them out and sticking them on sticks from your garden? If you need a reminder of the story the BBC has broken it up into 14 sections https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/teach\/class-clips-video\/english-ks1-jack-and-the-beanstalk-home\/zff42sg<\/a><\/p>\n Thank you for your continued support.

\nReading<\/strong> \u2013 We are keen to continue developing the children\u2019s reading skills whilst they work from home. There are a few online resources which provide access to e-books and we will be sharing these with you over the next few weeks. Today have a look at starfall (link below). The book we would like the children to read is \u2018Mox\u2019s shop\u2019. Most children should be able to read the words in this book and so we encourage you to sound out the words and only play the audio if there is a word that you get stuck on. After reading the book draw a picture in your yellow jotter showing your favourite part of the story and try to write a sentence describing what is happening. My favourite part was when Mox dropped the eggs all over the floor! Remember a sentence needs a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop. Parents please don\u2019t worry if spelling isn\u2019t correct, at the moment our main objective is to build the children\u2019s confidence having a go and hearing some sounds in words. If you are supporting please encourage the children to write their letters correctly. You might also like to play the \u2018ot\u2019 and \u2018og\u2019 games next to the story?

\nAt the moment Education City is struggling with the number of people accessing it. When I was planning this lesson I found that pressing \u2018reload\u2019 when the error message appeared allowed me to get on the page. If that doesn\u2019t work then maybe try again another time. The games require children to be able to visualise splitting a group\/ shape in half and this will be difficult for most Primary 1s at this stage in their learning. To support your child I would suggest using objects found around your house. For example, if it says select half of the cakes and there are 10 cakes I would get out 10 objects (coins, pencils, rubbers, bead etc) and 2 plates. I would ask the children to split the 10 objects between the 2 plates equally and then select their answer on the game.<\/p>\n
\nPlease continue to post on the Learning Journals and comment under the blog to let us know how you are getting on.<\/p>\n
