Good afternoon boys and girls,

Today you are going to be practising counting backwards, it will be just like we did last week but going the other way this time.

Below is the Hundred square that you can use if you like.

1. Can you practise counting backwards from 100 in 1s.
2. Can you find the number e.g. find number 56?
3. What number comes before e.g. before 63? is 62.
4. What number comes 2 before e.g 2 before 24 is 22.

Have a lovely day

Literacy

Today we are going to listen to the story Barry The Fish With Fingers and then I would like you to choose 3 activities from the list below and complete them in your jotter.

Barry the fish with fingers has many skills that he shares in the story. Can you make a list of all the amazing things he can do?

In the story, Barry saves Puffy from getting hurt. This made him the hero of the story. Can you write or record a news report detailing how Barry rescued Puff.

Barry and his friends decide to have a party to celebrate the fact that Puffy was safe. Can you write an invitation for Barry’s party that he can give to the other sea creatures?

Can you write a guest list containing all of the sea creatures that Barry should invite to his party?

What food could Barry and his friends have at their party? Can you come up with some fish friendly recipes for Barry to make for his guests?

Good afternoon everyone 🙂

Good afternoon boys and girls,

Today for maths we are going to look at symmetry. We have done lots of work on this. Remember when something is symmetrical it is the same on both sides. You could use lego, hama beads maybe even pasta you could give the pasta some colour with pens if you like.

Why not try this game to practise your matching symmetrical pictures.

Once you have made your symmetrical picture remember to send us a picture 🙂

Good morning Primary 1,

For Literacy this morning we are going to be revisiting the qu sound. Qu is made up of two sounds q and u. Watch this short alphablocks film to see how they go together.

In your jotter draw 4 pictures of words that begin with qu. Can you name them? Then write 2 sentences with your qu words.

For Music, Mrs Keenan would like you to listen to these songs and try to sing along,

Pop back for some more activites later.

Good morning everyone!

Maths – Position and Movement

This morning we are going to practise using grid references again to say where an object is.  (Here is the link from yesterday if you need a recap or missed it  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbtp34j/articles/z6hxrj6 )

Can you make your own grid and place items on it?  You could make it inside or outside.  You can place any items you have in your house.

Here is an example of one I made in my garden.  I put toys in mine!

Once you have made it, can you ask and answer questions about where items are located with someone in your house?

For example:

1. What is the grid reference for the ball?
2. What is found at D3?

You can also have a go at Pirate Map Coordinates:

Literacy – Punctuation

BBC Bitesize has great daily lessons if you are looking for something different.

Have a go at this lesson on using exclamation marks – watch the video first, then complete the quiz and additional activities:

Good afternoon everyone,

This afternoon I have prepared an activity for our mini topic on Food and Farming.  You will be learning to watch and listen for information, as well as learning about the journey your food has been on.

Topic – Food and Farming

1. Watch this video to see the farm to fork journey of carrots.

2. Copy and complete this diagram to show the carrot’s journey.  Sequence the sentences into the correct order and then draw a picture to go with each stage.  (All of the information can be found by watching the video.)

3. Find 3 extra facts from the video and write these down underneath your diagram.

Blue Peter Badge

From all the emails Mrs Docherty and I receive, I know lots of you are doing great things while you are at home.  From craft projects, to gardening, to random acts of kindness.

If you would like an extra challenge, why don’t you apply to earn a Blue Peter badge?!

Here is the link if you would like to explore further:

Good afternoon boys and girls 🙂

I hope you have had a lovely weekend and are now back enjoying your learning tasks.

Today for maths can you make a maths game to practise addition and subtraction. I have an example below that you could try. You might want to just try addition on your game, or maybe just try subtraction.

You will need a dice, counter and a piece of paper.

Make your snake and ask an adult to write down some addition and subtraction questions. You can play this with an adult at home. Who can get to the end first?

French

Mrs Grenfell would like you to watch the film of school children in France.  Tell someone in your house the ways it is the same as your school and what ways it is different (not the same).
