Maths – 2D Shape

Remind yourself of the names of these 2D shapes (remember that 2D means flat). Can you identify their properties (how many sides, how many corners)? Go on a shape hunt around your house. How many shapes can you find?

Next, log on to Education City (your login details can be found inside the cover of your blue jotter).  Look for the P3 2D Shape activities that I’ve assigned to you and choose some to do.

Good afternoon boys and girls.

Remember you have your lego challenge that you can complete if you have not already. The ones we have so far are amazing! Well done

Remember we will be continuing to phone people this week it will be an unknown number but it is just Mrs Melia and I :)!

For maths today I have set you a challenge on Sumdog we will be signing in to see how you get on!

Practise counting to 100 with the song below

Today can you complete your maths workbook Betty’s Cafe page 6.

Today for French Mrs Grenfell would like you to practise saying your colours.

Once you have listened to the song can you find things in your house and say what colour they are in French.

Have a lovely afternoon.

Speak to you tomorrow.

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good morning everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Did you manage to enjoy some of the lovely sun?

For PE today, why not join Joe Wicks again. You must be getting super fit with all the exercise you are getting.

For Literacy today we would like you to pick a book from the Oxford E-Owls. This weeks book is ‘Clothes for Rain’. This is a non-fiction book, can you tell someone in your house the difference between a fiction and non-fiction book.

We would also like you to do some handwriting. You can pick any page in your handwriting jotters to complete. Watch this short film from BBC Bitesize on how to write letters b, h, k, m, n, p and r.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zgjj6sg/articles/z8qb97h

You can write them using different colours in your jotter, remember your finger spacing between each letter. Try not to let your letters float away, stay on the line.

Pop back this afternoon for some more learning ideas 🙂

Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton

Good morning everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and managed to enjoy the lovely weather.

This weekend I discovered a new route to take on my daily walk. It had a river with stepping stones to get across and there was a huge field for Cora (the dog) to play with her ball! On Saturday is was glorious sunshine so I didn’t mind when Cora jumped out of the river and soaked me from head to toe with the water! On Sunday we walked much faster because it was really cold. We had hot chocolate when we got home to warm up.

What did you do this weekend? This morning you can write your weekend news in your blue jotter and draw a picture to go with it. Can you spot the connectives in my news? (Remember they join two sentences together.) Try to use some connectives in your sentences today. Here are some examples of connectives to use:

and
but
because
so

To help you remember your other writing targets, here is a checklist for super sentences:

Maths – Money

For Maths this morning, we will continue with Money from last week. I would like you to set up a little shop in your house and pretend to be the shopkeeper. It could be a toy shop, a food shop, a book shop – whatever you have in your house! You could make up price labels or a price list for all the items. Practise paying for things and giving change. What coins would you need? Could you pay for it in a different way? I would love to see photos of your shops 🙂

Here is the link to the game from last week if you would like to play again:

Remember we have our new P3 mailbox so parents/carers can email us directly at   wlpolkemmet-ps-primary3@westlothian.org.uk

Mrs Harding

Good morning boys and girls!

It’s Friday already, I hope your week has been good. We have loved being able to chat with you on the phone. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard from us yet we are going to carry this on next week. Everyone will receive a call.

It has been so nice seeing all your pictures in the new email mail box! Thank you for taking the time to send us your work. It definitely has cheered Mrs Melia and I up this week.

Today Jigsaw Jack would like you to make a poster to remind people to always wash their hands. Jigsaw Jack has been washing his hands before he eats food, after he has been to the toilet and once he has been out for his daily walk. He washes them for 20 seconds and he always makes sure he gets all his fingers, even his thumb and does the hedgehog to make sure the soap gets in between all his fingers.

Listen to the video and then make your poster.

On your poster you will need to draw a picture of someone washing their hands. Remember to out a message on the poster it might say Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap.

Send us your finished poster to our email where we can have a look at your poster.

wlpolkemmet-ps-primary1@westlothian.org.uk

Have a lovely safe weekend boys and girls. Speak to you on Monday

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good Morning

The craziest dream I ever had was….

Health and Wellbeing

Draw a picture of something that makes you happy.

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Mrs Docherty

Good afternoon boys and girls,

It has been so nice to see your creations and work that you have been sending into the new email address! It is nice to be able to reply to you I hope it is putting a smile on your face. I know Mrs Melia and I are definitely smiling when we see all your hard work.

Today for maths can you practise saying the next number forwards and backwards. An adult at home will count to you for example 11, 12, 13 and you will need to say what comes next. Then try to do it backwards too for example 16, 15, 14 and you will say what comes before.

You might want to join in with this song to do some counting before you try your task.

You also have the game on education city where you can practise halving items.

Have a lovely day. It is another lovely day I hope you manage to get outside for some fresh air, maybe a walk or a cycle.
