Good Afternoon Primary 1!

I hope you have had a lovely day, it is such nice weather again. I hope you have managed to enjoy some of it either in your garden or if you go for your daily 1 hour exercise.

This afternoon for maths join in with this song to count to 100

Why not sing with Jack Hartmann to practise the story of 8(number bonds) . Then can you complete page 5 of your workbook which is the story of 8.

Remember your sumdog challenge is up and running so please have a go! Mrs Melia and I will be on to have a look to see how well you are doing!

For French Mrs Grenfell would like you to make the rainbow. Can you colour the correct colour for each French word? Before you start why not listen to the rainbow song first to remind you of the colours.

You can either print this picture and colour the sections the correct colour or make it in your jotter following the rainbow below.

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 🙂

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

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,

• Put some water in a glass. Wet your finger and run it along the edge of the glass (you might need some help with this). Can you hear a noise? What happens if you change the amount of water? Is the noise quiet or loud?
• Put some dried rice or pasta in a dry plastic box/bottle with a lid. Give it a shake, what can you hear? Is it a loud or quiet noise?
• Using a wooden spoon, drum on a pot. Is this a loud or quiet noise? Can you make it quieter?
• If you have an elastic band (or hair bobble), pull it tight and try to make a sound with your finger. Is it quite or loud? Can you make it louder?
• Clap your hands and stamp your feet. Is the noise loud or quiet?

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 Afternoon boys and girls.

I hope you are all well. Remember to leave us a comment to let us know how you are all getting on. Mrs Melia and I would love to hear from you. Remember you can email us your pictures too. Even send us a tweet!

This afternoon we would like you to do some counting backwards. Can you count backwards with the monkey and do the floss at the same time?

Why not try some subitizing with Jack Hartmann. How quickly can you say the numbers?

We are going to continue with 2D shapes today. Remember to complete your SUMDOG challenge. If you have done that and fancy something else why not try the shape monsters game on topmarks.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/early-years/shape-monsters

For our healthy eating why not listen to this book – Monsters don’t eat Broccoli.

What did the monsters want to eat?  Did you make a list of foods you like and don’t like. Remember it is important to eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day. What fruits and vegetables are your favourite? Which ones are you not so keen on? Are there any you would like to try.

Have a lovely afternoon

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good Morning everyone,

Hope you and your families are all safe and well. For PE this morning why not try a bit of yoga.

For Literacy this morning we would like you to do a bit of writing in your blue jotter.

This is Ted. He is off on his daily walk. We would like you to write an imaginative story about Ted’s walk. Think about what he see’s, what he hears and how he is feeling.

First draw a picture of Ted in the blank space at the top of the page. In this picture show where Ted is walking:

Here are some ideas: is he on a rainbow hunt? Can you see the houses with rainbows in the windows in your picture? Can you see garderns and trees, a sun if it’s a sunny day?

Or is he walking in the woods? Can you see the trees and grass in your picture? Is the sun in the sky? Can you see any birds?

Remember add lots of detail in your drawings.

Now its time to write a sentence. Try to sound out and write the sentence yourself – but you may need help sounding out some of the words especially common words.

Here is a picture of our sound wall and vowel house from class that might help you.

An example of a sentence you might write is,

Ted is in the wood. He can see trees and birds.

You can write anything you want but remember your picture tells as much about your story as your sentence does.

Remember still read your word walls with someone in your house and there is a sumdog and Education city challenge for you too complete this week.

Have fun. Pop back this afternoon 🙂

Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton
