Good morning

Hope you are wide awake and ready to get moving with Jump Start Jonny.

The staff at Polkemmet Primary School have made a video of activities for you to try to keep fit and active during lockdown.  Enjoy!

Literacy – Free Writing Friday

I would like you to write a piece of writing of your choice.  You may choose to write a letter, a set of instructions, information or a comic strip.

Always remember to check over your work!

Art

Lets be creative with some Abstract Art.

Farming

I would like you to have a look at the images below of different farm buildings and spaces and discuss with an adult what you think they are used for.

Five Minute Box

A few children worked with Miss Watson using the 5 minute box.  If you wish to support this we have provided the resources below for those who wish to complete more activities to support phonics and tricky words.

Five-Minute-Box-1-Activities – Polkemmet

Science

This weeks challenge is the Paper Helicopter Challenge.
The science is all about forces with the paper helicopter being pulled down by gravity and that the fall is being slowed by the wind resistance.
However it also emphasises – Fair Testing when you do this activity. It is really important that you –  drop them from the same height and at the same time to make sure that the race is fair.

Good morning

During lockdown my family have been watching all the Star Wars movies so I thought it would be fun to try out some Star Wars yoga.

Literacy

Over the past few weeks we have been doing a variety of themed scavenger hunts, today I would like you to create your own scavenger hunt for a family member.  You could also send it to the class email and I could try to complete it with my family over the weekend.

Good afternoon

Numeracy

Choose a board game to play that involves rolling a dice and counting.  Then I challenge you to create your own board game, it may include counting, number recognition, ordering numbers or skip counting in 2’s, 5’s or 10’s.

Science

This weeks challenge is to make a paper tower. You can only use two ingredients – paper and tape. You can use any tape and paper you have in the house. A top tip is to make your paper into the shape of a tube, they are strong and light and are often used in building real buildings.
The idea is to build it as big as possible. Once you have built it up you can measure it, take a photo and send to the class email.

Daily Mile
One of your classmates had fun last week completing the Daily Mile in her favourite costume.  She would like to challenge you to do the same the next you do the daily mile.
We would appreciate it if parents could please click on the link below and complete the questionnaire by 26th May.
