Online Safety Resources

With all this fantastic use of online materials and resources, it’s important now more than ever that we discuss online safety with our children. Miss Farooq has been gathering some ideas of how we can do this and we will post up activities over the coming weeks for you to do with your children. I have attached an activity for P1-3 and P4-7 to get started.

STEM Vertical Group: Flying object challenge

Mrs Burns and I have been missing our time with our vertical group and have created a STEM challenge that you can take part in at home. If you are not part of our vertical group and fancy joining in, please just go ahead. The more the merrier!

Different Plane Designs

We´d love to hear how successful your invention is or even see a picture of it. Email us at: wlfallahill-ps@westlothian.org.uk

We´ll include the pictures on our STEM sway so you can all see each other’s inventions.

Good luck inventors!

Letter formation

Morning all.

I was asked about letter formation yesterday and I suggested using this handy picture to help remind children which way round ‘b’ and ‘d’ go. I thought it might be useful to share on here in case anyone else finds it helpful.

If your child is doing any writing activities and is forming their letters or numbers the wrong way round, don’t worry too much. Just give them a gentle reminder about the correct way.

Summer Term in P1

Hi everyone, we hope you all had a lovely break over Easter and have been enjoying the lovely Spring weather. As part of your RME work we would love it if you could draw a picture including as many animals and Spring plants that you can think of. Remember to colour your picture carefully.

P.S. Remember to check out the P1 sway for more exciting learning activities 🙂

 

P1 Easter Activities

Good afternoon P1,

New Easter activities have been uploaded to our P1 Sway. There are lots of suggested activities and websites on here but please don’t feel pressured to do everything and remeber, learning doesn’t always have to take place in a classroom, build a den, go on a scavenger hunt, bake a cake, play a game, create something using lego, blocks, cardboard etc., but most importantly PLAY!!!As we approach the spring holidays please take time to relax, rest and spend time with your families.

Stay safe & take care

Mrs Howley, Mrs Burns & Ms Rainey

P1 Sway

Good morning P1!

Our Sway now has an “outdoor learning indoors” section as well as some music from Mrs Gorman. I’ve also added a couple of P1a’s favourite maths songs to the list: Jack Hartmann’s Months of the Year song and The Big Numbers song .

I’ve also tagged this post as P1 so if you need to find the link in a hurry you can just click on the P1 link at the left hand side of the school blog!
