Good morning,
For your weekly window challenge this week the theme is
Can you decorate your window with different footprints? How will you make the footprints?
Can’t wait to seen them on our daily walk.
Mrs Melia, Miss Beaton, Mrs Reid, Mrs Bashir, Mrs Docherty and Mrs Harding
Good morning everyone and welcome back to the beginning of a new week. We hope you’ve had a lovely weekend.
For PE this morning we are going to join Joe Wicks again.
For Literacy this morning we would like you to read an Oxford Reading Tree eowl book The Big Feet.
Here is the link https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/
Try some of the activities that go with the book.
We would also like you to read your word walls. Last week you made pictures with some of the words you found challenging. Can you do the same again this week.
On your word walls colour in the words you know really well and can say without sounding out or getting any help. This will help you to track which ones need extra practise with.
Remember there are still activities for you to do on your home learning grid.
Pop back this afternoon for some maths and french 🙂
Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton
Good morning boys and girls. I hope you have had a lovely weekend in the sun.
This morning for Literacy, can you write about your weekend? Write your news about the sunny weather. I spent the weekend in my garden painting my fence. What did you do? Remember to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Try to sound out any words you are not sure of or use your word wall to help you if you can. Mrs Reid!
Mrs Grenfell has some RME and French activities for you to complete this morning too. Here they are…
RME – Shabbat
Last week – you compared Shabbat to your own celebrations.
Today – design a meal for a Jewish person to eat when they celebrate Shabbat. If you need to re-watch the clip, the link is below:

FRENCH
You have learned to count to twenty in French. Practice counting at home.
Use the link below to help you, if you need to:
Good morning everyone!
I hope you’ve all had a great weekend and had some fun in the lovely weather.
Wake up this morning by getting active! You could continue joining The Bodycoach for P.E. with Joe at 9.30am, or for something different, have a go at some yoga (in a Minecraft world!):
Maths
In class we have been learning about money. To continue on from this, you could try to join the The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and their partner website, MoneySense, for a live lesson on Facebook or Youtube this morning at 11.30am. To join the lesson, parents should access the lesson by going to the Royal Bank of Scotland Facebook page. #MoneySenseMondays
You could also try a game to help with budgeting, here:

Literacy
Write a recount of your weekend news in your blue jotter. Remember all your core writing targets (punctuation, spelling, finger spaces, handwriting) and also try to use some openers, such as:
At the weekend…
Yesterday…
On Saturday…
Last night…
Draw a detailed picture to go with your writing.
Please also access Sumdog.com where I have set you another spelling challenge 🙂
Remember to let me know how you are getting on and if I can help you at all by commenting on this post.
Mrs Harding
Good morning boys and girls 🙂
It’s Friday! I hope you have worked hard this week and are ready for a rest over the weekend. I know it is a bit strange doing your school work at home, Mrs Melia and I are finding it strange teaching you over this and not seeing all your smiley faces!
Today for maths can you see what you can find in your house that is a 3D shape. If you need to remind yourself of which shapes to look for and their names here is the video from yesterday.
JIGSAW
JIGSAW Jack today would like you to help him learn how to cross the road safely.
Watch this first video to find out how to cross the road safely, maybe you can practise this in your garden by making a pretend pavement and road, or when you go out for your 1 hour daily exercise you can practise this.
https://www.think.gov.uk/resource/crossing-roads/
Listen to this video and join in with the song to help you remember how to cross the road safely.
https://www.think.gov.uk/resource/safer-journeys-anthem/
Who could you ask to help you if you didn’t feel safe crossing the road? Can you think who could help you? Draw a picture of you and someone who could help you cross the road so that JIGSAW Jack knows who to get help from.
Have a lovely weekend and see you all here again on Monday 🙂
Keep safe and keep washing your hands.
Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia
Morning everyone
Last day of the week. Well done to you all keeping busy with your learning.
For Literacy today we are going to look again at rhyming. You were all very good at this in class. Here is a wee song to get you moving and help you to remember what rhyming is,
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-english-rhyme-with-radzi/zvbm47h
Listen to this story and think about all the rhyming words. Remember a rhyming words sounds the same at the end.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkvmjhv/articles/zfypxyc
Can you think of some other rhyming words to say to someone in your house? Can you make up a real or nonsense word that rhymns with your name? Like Mrs Melia – Mrs Selia or Miss Beaton – Miss Meetin 🙂
Today is the last day of the ‘sh’ Sumdog challenge and Education City games so have a go. Remember to say your words on your word wall with someone in the house.
Pop back for your next blog later.
Have a lovely weekend. Stay safe and wash your hands,
Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton

Mindfulness and Meditation
Sun breath
Lie or sit on the floor with your eyes closed. Picture a bright shining sun smiling at you. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Imagine the sun warming your shoulders and arms, your legs and feet. Lie or sit and enjoy the warmth of the shining sun. Gently stretch your arms above your head and open your eyes.
Hope you have a lovely weekend and stay safe.
Mrs Docherty
Good afternoon Primary 1.
For maths today remember you have your sumdog challenge you can complete. Also practise counting forwards to 100 and backwards from 20.
Today why not practise your doubles. We were learning about doubles just before we finished up.
double 1 = 2
double 2 = 4
double 3 = 6
double 4 = 8
double 5 = 10
Why not try this song to help you
We are going to look at 3D shapes today. Can you remember their names ?
Have a listen to this video
Can you now name the shapes and describe them to an adult at home.
Once you have done that try the challenge on SUMDOG.
Have a great afternoon
Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia
Good morning everyone,
This morning for PE lets give Joe Wicks a go again. Here is the link,
In Literacy, we would like you to listen to a story as part of the Scottish Book Trust Authors Live. You’ll need paper or your jotter and a pencil close by because you are going to be doing some drawing too.
The story you are going to watch is Shifty McGify and Slippery Sam by Tracey Corderoy and illustrated by Steven Lenton. These are two tricky dogs who change career after a robbery goes wrong…
https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/authors-live-on-demand/tracey-corderoy-and-steven-lenton
We would like you to watch the author tell the story and draw along with the illustrator (films about 30mins long). You have been learning about authors and illustrators, can you tell someone in your house what these people do.
For Science, we are learning about sound. Listen! What do you hear? Can you hear birds or cars or people talking? Are they quiet sounds or loud sounds? What senses do you use to hear sounds?
Can you make a musical instrument using things in your house. Here are some ideas,
Here is a short film from Seymour Science on BBC Bitesize, explaining how sound is made.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zt9tfrd
Have fun making more sounds,
Pop back this afternoon for your next blog 🙂
Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton
Good Morning
Here is a fun activity to start your day!
Write a set of instructions for an activity you have done over the Easter holidays – this could be a game you have played, something you made or built.
Checklist
I have used capital letters and full stops.
I have used step by step instructions, using first, then, next and last.
I have written clear short sentences, in an order that makes sense.
I have included a picture or diagram.
