Mr McCrudden has set you a new science challenge –

This week you need to try to build a bridge. You can use anything you would like to build it. You could use lego, boxes, anything that comes to hand. This time rather than trying to get height you need to see if you can build your bridge to hold weight, choose something you want to go onto the bridge. See if your bridge is secure to hold the weight. You can share pictures of your bridge by emailing them to the school email address in your title put P1.

Good morning boys and girls.

Today for literacy your going to do your daily tasks.

Can you practise the words on your word wall with an adult. How quickly can you say them? How many new words do you know?

Can you play a game of pairs with some of your words from your word wall. Pick 8 words, you will need to make two sets of words so that you can play the game. You can cut up squares of paper and write the words on them.
Turn all the words over so you can not see them, take turns to turn two cards over, saying the tricky word you reveal. If you match the words then you keep the cards. How many pairs can you get?

ng sound – I have created a challenge on sumdog for you to play to practise spelling words with the ng sound in them. Have a try! I will log into sumdog and see how well you are doing.

Reading – sign into oxford owl and read Big Bad Bug again. Can you make a new front cover for the book?

Here are a few example :

The fire service put out fires.

It’s almost Easter, so for art this afternoon we would like you to make an Easter card for someone in you house. We realise that you might not have lots of cards and stuff in the house and it is very tricky to get them from the shops. There is other things you can use, such as the inside of a cereal box, or the back of birthday/Christmas wrapping paper. If you are really stuck and don’t have any of these things to use, you can draw the front of your Easter card in your jotter and write your greeting on the lines below. Remember to be as colourful or creative as you can. Here are some simple ideas to get you started:

Remember to take a picture and email it to us so we can see what you have made. It will bring a smile to our faces.

Stay safe,

Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton
