Hello everyone,

For some of the Maths activities on your new Home Learning Grid (posted this morning, 19/05/2020) you will need dice.

You should have some at home from your Read Write Count Bag or maybe some in a board game.

If you can’t find any, here is a link to a virtual dice:

Happy learning!

How many animals are in the first song?

Try and song along with the song.

The second song is about things that can be done by animals, but only if you can tell a lie!

Join in with the third song Old MacDonald had a farm.

Maths/Art

Last week you did a 2D shape hunt.   Click into the presentation below.  What 2D shapes can you find in these paintings?  Look closely and list all the shapes you can see.

shape in art

This week I would like you to create a piece of art with 2D shapes so you can practise drawing the shapes. Be creative! You can create an abstract picture like the ones by Kandinsky, or you can make a picture of your choosing using 2D shapes.

Ask your parent/carer to send me a photo of your work as I would love to see them.

Have a creative afternoon!

Good afternoon boys and girls,

For maths today we would like you to make a pictogram of people in your homes favourite food. You could even phone some of your family if you would like to ask them too.

1. You need to pick 4 foods to give as a choice for example banana, apple, orange and grapes.
2. Ask each person what their favourite is putting a tally mark beside the one they pick.
3. Once you have everyones choice you will make the pictogram. Remember to put the names of the foods along the bottom and your numbers up the side like I have shown you below. Once you have done that under each food draw a picture to represent how many people liked it.

Here is an example

What food was the favourite? Which was least favourite?

Once you have made your pictogram remember to send us it in 🙂

Have a lovely day

Hello P1,

We hope you have had a nice relaxing weekend.

We have attached the next learning grid with lots of new activities for you to complete with your family at a time that suits you best. There is a range of activities for you to try some of which do not require to you be on a device. We don’t expect you to complete them all. Please try to do the daily tasks and possibly one or two activities from literacy, maths, health and well being and art throughout the week. Remember to email us all your super work, we love to see them.

Don’t forget to pop back to the blog where you will find some of our activities here are linked to the learning grid.

Have fun! We can’t wait to see all that you have done.

🙂

Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton

Good morning everyone.

Hope you are safe and well.

For Literacy our sound this week is ‘wh‘. Wh is a red sound. Can you tell a grown up which part of the mouth you use to make wh? Can you think of 4 things that begin with wh?

Here are some ideas, whiz, wheel, whale, white, whisper, whisk, whip. Can you think of any question starters that begin with wh?

In your jotter draw 4 things that begin with wh, try to write what you have drawn. Then pick 2 of your pictures and write two  sentences, for example,

A wheel is on a car.

or

I like whip cream.

This activity is part of your new home learning grid so you can do it at a time that works best for you and your family. If you haven’t already see the grid it is in the post below.

Pop back at 10am to see more about our new topic Fairyland.

During your daily walk, see if you can complete this daily walking challenge:

Thanks to @nlleisure !

Literacy

This morning I would like you to practise sentence writing.  I would like you to practise spelling, punctuation and using descriptive language to describe the pictures below.

Everyone should remember capital letters at the start and full stops at the end!

For a challenge you could try using commas in a list (,), exclamation marks (!) and connectives (joining words).

The fluffy puppy was ready to play.

The puppy was fluffy, cute, playful and very loving.

The adorable puppy was tired out because she had been for a long walk.

Remember our email address is:

You can send us photos of your work or use it to ask any questions.

Good morning boys and girls.

Today Jigsaw Jack would like you to make a healthy snack. Can you spread with a table knife? Can you chop some soft foods like a banana or some cheese by making a bridge with your fingers, using a table knife.

Watch the videos below to help you

This one is about spreading

Some foods you can tear here is a little video to help you

Now watch this one about cutting using the bridge and claw

Once you have made your healthy snack send us a picture into the email address

Health and Wellbeing

Look in the mirror and give yourself 5 compliments, for example I am kind, I am brave.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and stay safe!

Mrs Docherty

Good afternoon boys and girls

For maths today following on from yesterdays sequencing use your number line again put the numbers in the correct order. Once you have done that

1. get an adult to remove a number(s) from your number line. Which number(s) are missing?
2. Point to number two numbers and you can say what number is in-between. For example point to 5 and 7, the number in-between would be 6.

For topic this afternoon can you research where some tropical fruits come from. Where are bananas grown? Where does the coco come from to make chocolate? You can use siri or google to ask your device or ask a grown up.  Once you have found out send us an email to let us know 🙂
