Primary 1 Maths

Good afternoon boys and girls,

Maths

This afternoon for maths we would like you to do some coin rubbing.

Ask an adult at home for some coins, put a piece of paper over a coin and using either a pencil or a crayon can you rub over the coin and see what happens? Take a picture and let us see!

When you pick your coin can you identify what they coin is. Is it a 1p, 2p, 5p or 10p? We know all the coins up to £2 see which ones you can remember.

Remember you can go onto Sumdog at any point to play some maths games.

French

Today Mrs Grenfell would like you to

Listen to the song, “Bonjour”, on YouTube.

We have listened to this in class already.

See if you can pick out the words:

Bonjour – hello

ça va? – how are you?

Merci – thank you

Ecoutez – listen

 When you hear them, touch your head.

 

Have a lovely day boys and girls

Good morning Primary 1.

We hope you had a nice weekend.

For PE this morning we would like you to try this activity mat,

For Literacy today we would like you to continue to read over your word walls. Remember to colour in the ones that you know really well so you can see how many you have still to learn.

There are lots of ways to remember those words you are finding challenging. If you are able to we would like you to make some playdough to make those tricky words. Here is the receipe:

8 heaped tablespoons of flour (any kind)

2 tablespoon of salt

1 tablespoon of vegtable or olive oil

about 60ml of water

Method: put flour, oil, salt and some (not all of the water) into a bowl and mix into a dough. You can add food colouring or herbs as well. Add flour or water to make the mixture soft but not sticky.

Now you can make those tricky words. You can form the words or write the words on the playdough your choice. Keep the playdough in an airtight box or food bag and it will last all week.

Pop back later for some more on Fairyland and maths.

Good afternoon boys and girls.

I hope you are enjoying the fairyland activities and are managing to help the dragon!

This afternoon for maths we would like you to look at your number bonds. We would like you to pick a number from 1-10 and write it in the middle of a piece of paper. We would then like you to try to find as many different ways to make this number. This could be using addition or subtraction. Here is an example below to help you get started.

 

 

Have a lovely afternoon

speak to you tomorrow

P1 Literacy and Science

Good morning Primary 1,

This morning for Science we are going to follow on from the tin foil boat challenge. We saw some of your pictures and films counting out the spoons to see how many your tin foil boats would take. Well done!

Today we would like you make a baking soda powered boat. Watch the film for more information. You will need some help with this one so ask a grown up.

 

In Literacy today we are still looking at Fairyland. Today we would like you to:

Task 3

No one has seen the friendly dragon. We don’t know what they looks like. In your jotter can you draw a detailed picture of the friendly dragon. Then write a description so we know what they look like.

See the SWAY for hints and tips to support the writing.

Pop back later for some more activities.

Good afternoon boys and girls,

It is such a lovely day today I hope you have managed to get outside even if it is for a little walk. Today for maths we would like you to make 10 Frames. Make your own 10 frames using twigs, lollypop sticks or lego. Use different things to fill them you could use pasta or cereal. Ask a grown up to give you a number and fill that many on your ten frame. Ask a grown up to ask you how many are filled? How many empty spaces? Try to answer without counting.

You could even try this whilst you are out for a walk you could collect some twigs and leaves and make your 10 frame and use the leaves for your items to put into the spaces.

This example below has 7 filled and 3 spaces.

Have a lovely day and enjoy the nice weather.

P1 Literacy and PE

Morning everyone,

Hope you all well and safe.

For PE this morning we thought you might like to try something abit different. This mat asks you to make lots of shapes like you did during gymnastics.

Can you make some shapes?

For Literacy today we would like you to continue with some of the work from the Fairyland SWAY from yesterday. Today we would like you to try task 2:

Ask a grown up to help you to find out about castles. Who lives in castles? Why are the windows so small? Why is there water around some castles? What is this called?

With the information you have gathered write an information report about castles using the questions above. Draw a picture of a castle in your jotter and answer the questions. Use the title ‘What is a castle’.

Primary 1 Maths

Good afternoon boys and girls,

For maths today we would like you to make a pictogram of people in your homes favourite food. You could even phone some of your family if you would like to ask them too.

  1. You need to pick 4 foods to give as a choice for example banana, apple, orange and grapes.
  2. Ask each person what their favourite is putting a tally mark beside the one they pick.
  3. Once you have everyones choice you will make the pictogram. Remember to put the names of the foods along the bottom and your numbers up the side like I have shown you below. Once you have done that under each food draw a picture to represent how many people liked it.

Here is an example

What food was the favourite? Which was least favourite?

Once you have made your pictogram remember to send us it in 🙂

Have a lovely day
