Good morning Primary 1,

We hope you have had a lovely weekend.

For Literacy this morning we would like you to write some capital letters. Using different colours can you write the alphabet in capitals?

Here is a short film explaining when we use capital letters.

Monday is word wall practise. Read over your word walls with a grown up. Pick 5 words you are finding tricky to remember and write them in the air, in flour or rice, on someone’s hand. Go on a word hunt and try to find these words around your house.

For PE this morning we would like you to join Maximo again,

Good morning everyone!

I hope you had a great weekend and were able to see some family and friends again.  I saw my parents for the first time in 11 weeks and it was lovely to see them even though we had to keep 2 metres apart!

Literacy – Spelling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEbweE6KJ4E

This morning, have a go at spelling some tricky words using these 3 spelling jobs:

1. Choose 10 words that you need to practise spelling from your tricky word wall or list.  Write them in your jotter and copy each word 3 times.
2. Choose another spelling job and complete it in your jotter.  (Remember it could be bubble writing, rainbow writing, pyramid writing, draw and label for example.)
3. Sentences – write each word in a sentence, remembering capital letters and full stops.

Finally, have a go at some of the spelling games on Espresso.  (These are free games so you shouldn’t need your log in details this time.)

Maths – Position and Movement

This morning, let’s practise using grid references to say where something is on a map.

1. Have a look at this first and do the little quiz at the bottom of the webpage: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbtp34j/articles/z6hxrj6

2.  Find the animals at each grid reference and write down the answers in your jotter:

Remember you can email us questions or pictures of work to:

Good morning boys and girls,

Today Jigsaw Jack would like you to find out about the different people in school that can help you. How many people can you think of that help you in the school? Tell someone at home who can help you.

Here are a few scenarios, Jack would like you to think about each of these and work out who you would ask to help you and how you would ask for the help.  The first one I will give an example of how you may ask for help.

You have fallen in the playground and hurt your knee. You might say ‘Please can you help me I have fallen and hurt my knee.’ Who might you ask this question too? Can you try the other examples now.

You are stuck with your maths work

The toilet is flooded

You have lost your lunchbox

Someone called you a name

You are worried about your mum

Your friend won’t let you play

In your jotter Jack would like you to complete the sentence

‘When someone helps me I feel…..’

Have a lovely day boys and girls. Enjoy your weekend and speak to you on Monday

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good morning

Get your dancing shoes on as we are going to work out with Oti to learn a Jungle Book routine.

On Wednesday you received a letter from Russell the Scarecrow, today I would like you to write an imaginative story about an adventure Russell gets up to on the farm.

Please remember to use capital letters, full stops, joining words and adjectives.  Check over your story once you have finished.

Time for a little music challenge, how many questions can you answer, discuss your answers with an adult.

Health and Wellbeing

Muscle group squeeze

Sit on a chair and close your

eyes. Starting at your feet, tense up the muscles in your feet for a count of 5, then release. Tense up your calf muscles for a count of 5, then release. What changes can you notice? Slowly work up your body, tensing up and releasing your muscles as you go. When you are ready open your eyes.

Here are a few extra activities you may wish to try at home.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and stay safe!

2. Can you find the number e.g. find number 87?
3. What number comes after e.g. after 63? is 64.
4. What number comes 2 after e.g 2 after 45 is 47.

Have a lovely day

Good Morning P1,

For Literacy this morning we are going to look at blending again. In class you looked at code breakers. Here is a code breaker using emoji’s and the sh sound. Can you find out the sounds and blending them together?

For Science this morning, we would like you to make a beanstalk using any items you have in your home. Could be lego, bricks or junk. How tall can you make it?

Remember, you can email us all your pictures to,

Yesterday we enjoyed the story Caterpillar Shoes and completed tasks linked to the story.  Today I would like you to create a comic strip about the story.  I have included the link to the story if you wish to watch it again.

Good afternoon boys and girls,

This afternoon for maths you are going to focus on position and movement – ask an adult at home to give you an instruction e.g. place the teddy on, under, beside, in or between.

Can you make it a little bit trickier – place the teddy on the table at the left side?

Why not try this game on espresso with Scrap and see how you get on

After all this nice weather it is really important to keep safe in the sun. Listen to this story below and make a poster to tell people how to keep safe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwyqaLnsi5Q

On your poster your may draw a picture of someone putting on sun cream and you might write Remember to put on sun cream. Or you could maybe draw someone with a hat on and remind people to wear a hat in the sun. Listen to the story to find out what else to do to keep safe in the sun.

Have a lovely afternoon boys and girls
