Good afternoon boys and girls

Today for maths can you have a go at some 10 frame games. Last week you were making your own so you should be experts.

https://www.gregtangmath.com/tenframemania

On gregtangmath you have to make the ten frames. It games you the number and you need to make the number on the ten frame.

https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Interactives/Ten-Frame/

Here you can you say how many – the circles will be on the frame can you say how many there are and how many spaces e.g. 4 circles 6 spaces.

Have a lovely day

Good morning Primary 1,

Hope you are all well and safe this morning.

For Literacy this morning we are going to revisit the sound j. What colour is this sound? That’s right it’s a green sound. Watch this film and think of things that begin with j.

Using the playdough you made yesterday, can you make some things that begin with j. In your jotter, draw 4 things that begin with j and name what you have drawn. Then using two of your j words write a simple sentence, for example:

I like to jump.

There is a j challenge on sumdog for you to complete and some activities on Education City.

Remember to send us pictures of anything you have done to

For Music this week we are listening to and thinking about some of our favourite songs. Listen to these songs. What are they about?

With a grown up’s help watch the Frozen song and try to answer some of the questions.

Pop back later for some more activities.

Good morning everyone!

I know some of you enjoyed the Go Noodle video yesterday morning so here is another one to wake you up!

Maths – 3D Shape

We have been revising 2D shape recently and today we will move on to 3D shape.  That is three dimensional shape, or solid shapes.  Solid shapes can be described using the words; face, edge and vertex (vertices if more than one).

Watch this video to remind yourself.  (There is also some information on the webpage if you need it.)  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zjv39j6/articles/zgqpk2p

Then log in to Education City (https://www.educationcity.com/) where I have created some work for you on 3D shape.  (P3 Maths – 3D Shape)  Start with Solid Shapes (a learn screen) then move on to the other games.

Literacy – Grammar

You have done lots of work on adjectives (describing words).   Today we will be practising opposite adjectives.

Copy and complete the adjectives so each one is matched with it’s opposite.

Now have a go at coming up with some of your own opposite adjectives for these words:

• cold
• loud
• wet
• tight
• old

Remember our email address is:

It has been so nice hearing from lots of you and seeing some of your work 🙂

Mrs Harding

Good afternoon boys and girls,

Maths

This afternoon for maths we would like you to do some coin rubbing.

Ask an adult at home for some coins, put a piece of paper over a coin and using either a pencil or a crayon can you rub over the coin and see what happens? Take a picture and let us see!

When you pick your coin can you identify what they coin is. Is it a 1p, 2p, 5p or 10p? We know all the coins up to £2 see which ones you can remember.

Remember you can go onto Sumdog at any point to play some maths games.

French

Today Mrs Grenfell would like you to

Listen to the song, “Bonjour”, on YouTube.

We have listened to this in class already.

See if you can pick out the words:

Bonjour – hello

ça va? – how are you?

Merci – thank you

Ecoutez – listen

 When you hear them, touch your head.

Have a lovely day boys and girls

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good afternoon everyone!

French

I would like you to create your own character and tell me about them using French vocabulary.  You could design a monster, a superhero, a person – it is up to you.  Copy and complete these sentences accurately to describe your character:

Je m’appelle………….              /   My name is……

J’ai …………   ans.                     /  I am ………… years old.

J’ai les yeux ………………….. / I have ………… eyes.

Possible eye colours are:

noirs   – black

verts – green

bleus – blue

marron – brown

gris – grey

Here is my example:

Topic – Food and Farming

Our topic this term was supposed to be Farming so we thought we would include some blog activities based on this topic.

This afternoon, take a full page in your jotter and draw a picture of a farm.  Include as much detail as you can to show us what you know about already.  You could even add labels or little notes on your drawing to give more information.

It would be great if parents/carers could email the pictures to us, at:

wlpolkemmet-ps-primary3@westlothian.org.uk

Thank you!

Mrs Harding

Good morning boys and girls,

Here is the next part of our fairyland topic!

Enjoy!

We can’t wait to see your work remember to email us it in

Fairyland

This week we are going to be reading the fairytale ‘The Three Little Pigs’

Go to this Sway

Good morning Primary 1.

We hope you had a nice weekend.

For PE this morning we would like you to try this activity mat,

For Literacy today we would like you to continue to read over your word walls. Remember to colour in the ones that you know really well so you can see how many you have still to learn.

There are lots of ways to remember those words you are finding challenging. If you are able to we would like you to make some playdough to make those tricky words. Here is the receipe:

8 heaped tablespoons of flour (any kind)

2 tablespoon of salt

1 tablespoon of vegtable or olive oil

about 60ml of water

Method: put flour, oil, salt and some (not all of the water) into a bowl and mix into a dough. You can add food colouring or herbs as well. Add flour or water to make the mixture soft but not sticky.

Now you can make those tricky words. You can form the words or write the words on the playdough your choice. Keep the playdough in an airtight box or food bag and it will last all week.

Pop back later for some more on Fairyland and maths.

🙂

Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton

Good morning everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend despite the stormy weather 🙂

To wake you all up this morning, try dancing along with this Go Noodle video:

https://youtu.be/KhfkYzUwYFk

Literacy

In class we have learned about ‘magic e’ for spelling and reading.  (The e at the end makes the first vowel sound strong – we hear the letter name rather than the sound.)

Watch this video to remind yourself:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3oA4wfUBak

1. In your blue jotter I would like you to write down the 5 vowel sounds at the top. (a e i o u)
2. Next write some 3 letter words that use each of the vowels as their middle sound.  For example:

hat

pet

sit

pot

tub

3. Can you add magic e to the words you have chosen?  Some will make real words, others silly words! Write down the ones that make real words.  For example:

hat ——>  hate

sit ——-> site

tub ——–> tube

Repeat this until you have made a few magic e words successfully.

4. Use your words to practise writing sentences, remembering full stops and capital letters.

(Some children may find step 3 challenging, so focus instead on steps 1, 2 and 4.)

Maths – 2D Shape

Revise the properties of the shapes below by playing the game here:

http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/me3us/flash/lessonLauncher.html?lesson=lessons/14/m3_14_00_x.swf

If you continue through the levels in the game you will also revise 3D shapes which will be our focus tomorrow.

If you have difficulty accessing the above game, try this instead:
