Language learning is an important part of the curriculum and helps pupils develop skills in many areas.
SCILT (Scottish Centre for Information on Language Teaching) has compiled a list of resources to support parents at home with language learning. Have a look here if you would like any resources:
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Did you manage to enjoy some of the lovely sun?
For PE today, why not join Joe Wicks again. You must be getting super fit with all the exercise you are getting.
For Literacy today we would like you to pick a book from the Oxford E-Owls. This weeks book is ‘Clothes for Rain’. This is a non-fiction book, can you tell someone in your house the difference between a fiction and non-fiction book.
We would also like you to do some handwriting. You can pick any page in your handwriting jotters to complete. Watch this short film from BBC Bitesize on how to write letters b, h, k, m, n, p and r.
You can write them using different colours in your jotter, remember your finger spacing between each letter. Try not to let your letters float away, stay on the line.
Pop back this afternoon for some more learning ideas 🙂
It’s Friday already, I hope your week has been good. We have loved being able to chat with you on the phone. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard from us yet we are going to carry this on next week. Everyone will receive a call.
It has been so nice seeing all your pictures in the new email mail box! Thank you for taking the time to send us your work. It definitely has cheered Mrs Melia and I up this week.
Today Jigsaw Jack would like you to make a poster to remind people to always wash their hands. Jigsaw Jack has been washing his hands before he eats food, after he has been to the toilet and once he has been out for his daily walk. He washes them for 20 seconds and he always makes sure he gets all his fingers, even his thumb and does the hedgehog to make sure the soap gets in between all his fingers.
Listen to the video and then make your poster.
On your poster you will need to draw a picture of someone washing their hands. Remember to out a message on the poster it might say Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap.
Send us your finished poster to our email where we can have a look at your poster.

Have a lovely safe weekend boys and girls. Speak to you on Monday
It has been so nice to see your creations and work that you have been sending into the new email address! It is nice to be able to reply to you I hope it is putting a smile on your face. I know Mrs Melia and I are definitely smiling when we see all your hard work.
Today for maths can you practise saying the next number forwards and backwards. An adult at home will count to you for example 11, 12, 13 and you will need to say what comes next. Then try to do it backwards too for example 16, 15, 14 and you will say what comes before.
You might want to join in with this song to do some counting before you try your task.
You also have the game on education city where you can practise halving items.
Have a lovely day. It is another lovely day I hope you manage to get outside for some fresh air, maybe a walk or a cycle.
For PE this morning we would like you to do a bit of yoga.
Yesterday Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia set you a lego challenge. For your Literacy today we would like you to think about your instructions for your lego creation.
You should include a list of what you need, this can be in pictures or a list or both. Then write 3 more sentences explaining how to build your park.
If your not sure pop on the TV and watch BBC Bitesize at 10am on BBC Scotland (also on iplayer). Today’s program is about instruction writing.
We have seen some already they are fantastic! We look forward to seeing more.
Also on BBC Scotland at 10:20 you can watch One Night at the Museum. Where children are exploring the National Musuem of Scotland at nighttime! I wonder what they will find. What would you do if you were in the musuem?
For Science today, we are going to explore the properties of water. There are words we can use that describe how water changes: freeze, melting and boiling.
Freezing: put some water into an ice cube tray. Predict where will it freeze best? Once it has frozen, what around the house can you use to melt the ice? Can you find 3 things? Remember to ask a grown up for some help. Take a photo of what you use and write how long it took. Which was the fastest to make the ice melt? Which took the longest to melt the ice?
You can send us your pictures and answers to our Primary 1 email address.
Remember we have posted different tasks for the day and you have your lego challenge to try!
It’s beautiful outside. Miss Beaton is currently working away in the garden enjoying the sun. Make sure to try get yourself out as well even for a little walk.
Remember we will be making calls over the next two weeks, the phone number will be withheld it is just Mrs Melia or I checking in with you to see how your getting on 🙂
I hope you have been working hard trying to say all your tricky words this morning!
I hope your as excited as Mrs Melia and I about the lego challenge! We can not wait to see your creation, read your instructions and be able to email back to give you our thoughts on your creation!
For maths today can you practise halving items.
Here is a little story to remind you, we listened to this one in class.
Can you make a sandwich and cut it in half? Can you cut a cake in half? You could have one half and you could give the other half to someone else. Can you get 4 pieces of lego and half them? Can you get 10 pieces of pasta and half them? How many pieces would you get?
I have also set a challenge on education city for you to try!
Have a good day
It is a lovely day today so make sure you go out and get some fresh air if you can
