Hello P1,

We hope you have had a nice relaxing weekend.

We have attached the next learning grid with lots of new activities for you to complete with your family at a time that suits you best. There is a range of activities for you to try some of which do not require to you be on a device. We don’t expect you to complete them all. Please try to do the daily tasks and possibly one or two activities from literacy, maths, health and well being and art throughout the week. Remember to email us all your super work, we love to see them.

wlpolkemmet-ps-Primary1@westlothian.org.uk

Don’t forget to pop back to the blog where you will find some of our activities here are linked to the learning grid.

Have fun! We can’t wait to see all that you have done.

🙂

Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton

Good morning everyone.

Hope you are safe and well.

For Literacy our sound this week is ‘wh‘. Wh is a red sound. Can you tell a grown up which part of the mouth you use to make wh? Can you think of 4 things that begin with wh?

Here are some ideas, whiz, wheel, whale, white, whisper, whisk, whip. Can you think of any question starters that begin with wh?

In your jotter draw 4 things that begin with wh, try to write what you have drawn. Then pick 2 of your pictures and write two  sentences, for example,

A wheel is on a car.

or

I like whip cream.

This activity is part of your new home learning grid so you can do it at a time that works best for you and your family. If you haven’t already see the grid it is in the post below.

Pop back at 10am to see more about our new topic Fairyland.

Good morning boys and girls.

Today Jigsaw Jack would like you to make a healthy snack. Can you spread with a table knife? Can you chop some soft foods like a banana or some cheese by making a bridge with your fingers, using a table knife.

Watch the videos below to help you

This one is about spreading

Some foods you can tear here is a little video to help you

Now watch this one about cutting using the bridge and claw

Once you have made your healthy snack send us a picture into the email address

Have a nice weekend, remember Monday 18th is a holiday so we will see you all back here on Tuesday morning ready for some more learning activities 🙂 Have a nice break away from working super hard.

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good afternoon boys and girls

For maths today following on from yesterdays sequencing use your number line again put the numbers in the correct order. Once you have done that

1. get an adult to remove a number(s) from your number line. Which number(s) are missing?
2. Point to number two numbers and you can say what number is in-between. For example point to 5 and 7, the number in-between would be 6.

For topic this afternoon can you research where some tropical fruits come from. Where are bananas grown? Where does the coco come from to make chocolate? You can use siri or google to ask your device or ask a grown up.  Once you have found out send us an email to let us know 🙂

Have a great day

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good morning everyone,

Hope you are all safe and well.

This morning for Literacy we would like you to do the next page in your sentence book. In Education City there are two games for you to play one on the ‘th’ sound and another called the Pet Shop to help you to build sentences. Have a go.

For Science, this weeks challenge is to make a boat. Please do this lesson, as next week there will be a more complicated boat to make that should be lots of fun. So make sure we do this one to get out boat building skills up.

Good afternoon boys and girls.

It has been lovely seeing the videos that some of you have sent in already about what you have enjoyed about Primary 1. Remember once you have made your video send it into our email

wlpolkemmet-ps-primary1@westlothian.org.uk

For maths remember to keep practising counting forwards and backwards. Here is a few songs you can join in with to help you count.

Once you have practised counting we would like you to do some ordering of numbers. You might start with numbers 0-10 or if your feeling confident you might try 0-20 or even beyond. Write the numbers down on square pieces of paper. Mix all the numbers up and then see if you can arrange them in the correct order. Once you have done it once why not see if you can do it faster. Here is an example

For our healthy eating topic today we would like you to speak to someone in your house and find out which foods taste sweet, salty or sour. Can you make an experiment and try some of these things? Which did you like best? Does everyone in your house like the same kinds of foods? What do you like that is the same or different?

Can you also talk to someone in your home about what is different about tinned food and fresh food. Are they both as healthy for you?

Email us your thoughts about sweet, sour and salty foods, which do you prefer?

Have a lovely afternoon

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good morning everyone,

This morning for PE we would like you to do a bit of yoga with cosmic kids.

For writing today we would like you to write ahealthy food diary. Here is an example of one,

Don’t worry, you don’t need to print it off. Use the picture to help you lay it out in your jotter. Write these headings:

Breakfast

Lunch

Dinner

Snacks

Drinks

Also draw how many portions of fruit and veg you have had.

Remember to send it to us by taking a picture and email it to,

wlpolkemmet-ps-Primary1@westlothian.org.uk

Pop back this afternoon for some more maths activities 🙂

Stay safe

Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton

Good afternoon boys and girls,

Have you had a busy morning?

For maths today you are going to give someone in your house directions? It could be from your bedroom to the living room or maybe the living room to the kitchen. Remember to use directional language left right, forward and backwards. To get to my kitchen I need to take 8 steps forward, turn left and then 5 steps forward

Why not try this on education city. You just need to write down the directions you would give Sten to get to Manu’s house.

https://go.educationcity.com/content/index/13777/3/2/13

If you have a tablet you could download the bee-bot app. Here is what you need to look for.

Today we would also like you to take a little video telling us what your favourite part of Primary 1 so far has been. If you don’t want to do a video maybe you could draw a picture and write a sentence. Once you have done this could you send it into the Primary 1 email box where Mrs Melia and I can see them all. Here is the email address

wlpolkemmet-ps-Primary1@westlothian.org.uk

Have a lovely afternoon

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good morning everyone,

Hope you are all well.

Today for PE join Oti dancing to the Lion King.

For Music, listen to these songs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JldSBUQB34

Listening.

Go on a listening walk around your house. What can you hear?

A clock ticking? , the washing machine? any animal sounds?

For Literacy today the sound we are visiting again is ‘th’. Remember this is the cheeky sound – the one you are allowed to stick your tongue out at 😛

‘Th’ can be at the beginning of a word like the, thin, thick, or at the end of a word like bath and cloth. And sometimes it is in the middle of a word like clothes. What this films to remind yourself,

In your jotter, draw 4 pictures that either begin with or end with th. Remember, add lots of detail. Can you try to write the word next to your drawing? Then try to write 2 sentences with ‘th’ word for example,

The moth has wings.

Remember you can take a picture and send it to our email address,

wlpolkemmet-ps-Primary1@westlothian.org.uk

We look forward to seeing them. There is also a sumdog spelling challenge open for the rest of this week. Can you spell the 10 words with th?

Pop back later for some maths activities 🙂
