Good morning everyone,
We hope you and are families are all safe and well. We have been doing PE every morning. Keeping active, keeps us happy and healthy so keep it up. This morning we are suggesting some dancing with Oti,
For Literacy this morning we are going to write a description. This is Panda.
In your jotter we would like you to draw a detailed picture of Panda. He is visiting Polkemmet so perhaps include a drawing of the school or your classroom in your detailed picture.
Then we would like you to describe him. What does he look like? Here is an example of a sentence you could include,
The panda is black and white. He has 2 legs and 2 arms.
When you are writing your sentences remember,
- Capital letters at the beginning of a sentence.
- Finger spacing – if using your own finger is too tricky use another pencil like this.
- Full stop at the end of the sentence – not a football and not floating in the air, a small dot on the line.
- Sound out your words – what is the first, middle and last sound. Say the word slowly to help you.
- Use your word walls to help spell tricky words.
If you need a brainbreak here are some songs to get you moving,
