Good afternoon boys and girls,

I hope you have managed to complete your tasks set this morning and that you have enjoyed getting back to your learning.

This afternoon for Maths we are going to look at symmetry. Can you tell someone at home what it means when something is symmetrical?

Remember its when the something  is the same on both sides.

Today can you play this game on topmarks where you need to match up the pictures to make them symmetrical.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/symmetry/symmetry-matching

Can you find things in your house that are symmetrical?

Why not try to make your own symmetrical picture today? Make sure it is the same on both sides. You could make a face, a butterfly, a house or a flower.

Remember you can complete your SUMDOG challenge too!

For health and well-being we are going to be focusing on healthy eating. This afternoon can you listen to the three videos below on espresso. Remember your login details are in your blue jotter.

You can also play the little game where you need to sort the fruits into the correct category.

Once you have listened to the videos can you make a list in your jotter of your favourite and least favourite foods. This can be done with labelled drawings.

Have a lovely afternoon everyone 🙂

To finish of Friday why not try some baking.

Easter crispy nest cakes

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia wish you all a Happy Easter. It will be a bit different this year but we hope you all stay safe! Don’t eat too much chocolate! We look forward to hearing from you all after the holidays. We will be back here on Monday the 20th of April to share a new learning grid with you and share lots of learning ideas on the blog! Keep safe everyone!

A little song for you to join in with whilst washing your hands!

Mr McCrudden has set you a new science challenge –

This week you need to try to build a bridge. You can use anything you would like to build it. You could use lego, boxes, anything that comes to hand. This time rather than trying to get height you need to see if you can build your bridge to hold weight, choose something you want to go onto the bridge. See if your bridge is secure to hold the weight. You can share pictures of your bridge by emailing them to the school email address in your title put P1.

Good morning boys and girls.

Today for literacy your going to do your daily tasks.

Can you practise the words on your word wall with an adult. How quickly can you say them? How many new words do you know?

Can you play a game of pairs with some of your words from your word wall. Pick 8 words, you will need to make two sets of words so that you can play the game. You can cut up squares of paper and write the words on them.
Turn all the words over so you can not see them, take turns to turn two cards over, saying the tricky word you reveal. If you match the words then you keep the cards. How many pairs can you get?

ng sound – I have created a challenge on sumdog for you to play to practise spelling words with the ng sound in them. Have a try! I will log into sumdog and see how well you are doing.

Reading – sign into oxford owl and read Big Bad Bug again. Can you make a new front cover for the book?

For P.E today why not try some dancing with Oti Mabuse? Here is the link to join in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SboNzLZea0o

Keep washing your hands boys and girls.

Keep safe

Good Morning Primary 1.

I hope your home learning is going well. Remember if we can help with anything or if you are unsure about something we have set you please leave us a comment.

Today we would like you to do a bit of writing to finish of our topic on people who help us in the community. We would like you to tell us about three different services you now know about. As a reminder we have learned about the police, the fire service, lifeboats, the library, doctors and nurses.

Pick three of these people and write one sentence about what they do for their job to help us. Draw a picture to match.

Here are a few example :

The fire service put out fires.

The doctor helps me when I’m sick.

You need to remember to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Remember once you are finished your writing you can send us your fantastic work into the school email address.

Good morning boys and girls 🙂

Tricky words – can you play word splat. You will need to get a piece of paper and cut it into squares. Write some of your words on the squares from your word wall. Put the squares on the floor, table or on the wall. Get an adult to say a word to you and see if you can splat it with your hand! How quickly can you splat the word?

Good morning Primary 1,

Today for literacy we have set you tasks that can be completed daily.

Here are your tasks:

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/digital_books/1215.html

Once you have read the book you can complete the activities that go along with it.

This week we would like to you focus on the ng sound. Can you listen to this video to help you blend the ng sound.

Can you remember the action for ng?

Today can you draw a picture of something with the ng sound in it, and then write a sentence to match. Remember your capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.

Keep practising your words from your word wall. How quickly can you say them? How many can you say?

Pick a page from your handwriting booklets. Remember to take you time whilst completing this. If you have a green and pink pencil you can self assess your work. Circle only one green for growth and one pink for perfection.

We hope you have a lovely morning. Remember to leave a comment  and let us know what you have been doing! Also any pictures email them into  wlpolkemmet-ps@westlothian.org.uk
