Art / Outdoors Activity

When on your daily walk with your family, take a bag and collect some sticks.  Once you are home, try creating a stick version of your family as something to remember this time by.  Use glue or sellotape to attach the sticks to a piece of paper.  You could then add in some extra details.

Here is an example:

Maths – 2D Shape

Remind yourself of the names of these 2D shapes (remember that 2D means flat). Can you identify their properties (how many sides, how many corners)? Go on a shape hunt around your house. How many shapes can you find?

Next, log on to Education City (your login details can be found inside the cover of your blue jotter).  Look for the P3 2D Shape activities that I’ve assigned to you and choose some to do.

Language Learning at Home

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:

French is the main additional language for pupils in P1-7 at Polkemmet.  Spanish is taught to pupils in P5-7.

Good morning everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and managed to enjoy the lovely weather.

This weekend I discovered a new route to take on my daily walk. It had a river with stepping stones to get across and there was a huge field for Cora (the dog) to play with her ball! On Saturday is was glorious sunshine so I didn’t mind when Cora jumped out of the river and soaked me from head to toe with the water! On Sunday we walked much faster because it was really cold. We had hot chocolate when we got home to warm up.

What did you do this weekend? This morning you can write your weekend news in your blue jotter and draw a picture to go with it. Can you spot the connectives in my news? (Remember they join two sentences together.) Try to use some connectives in your sentences today. Here are some examples of connectives to use:

and
but
because
so

To help you remember your other writing targets, here is a checklist for super sentences:

Maths – Money

For Maths this morning, we will continue with Money from last week. I would like you to set up a little shop in your house and pretend to be the shopkeeper. It could be a toy shop, a food shop, a book shop – whatever you have in your house! You could make up price labels or a price list for all the items. Practise paying for things and giving change. What coins would you need? Could you pay for it in a different way? I would love to see photos of your shops 🙂

Here is the link to the game from last week if you would like to play again:

Good afternoon

Wishing Tree

One of your classmates came up with the idea of creating a wishing tree.   He drew a tree and then made leaves to add to the tree.  On the leaves he wrote things that he would like to do after lockdown.  Why don’t you try creating your own wishing tree.

My wishes would be –

Hug family and friends.

Take my children to the park.

Have a party with family and friends.

Numeracy

I would like you to choose one of the Number Talks challenges below.

Science

Today’s challenge is to make a boat. Get some tin foil make it into a boat shape with a flat square bottom and edges so the water does not spill in. The water should push it up because water is a really strong force that can hold up heavy weights like real ships. Then start adding spoons to your tin foil boat to see how many spoons it can hold before it sinks.  Before you start can you guess how many spoons it will hold before the boat sinks?
As an extension you could weigh the spoons to see how many and how heavy the load is before it sinks.
As a further extension or If you don’t have any tin foil at home you can make your own waterproof paper. Yes that’s right waterproof paper. Get a piece of paper and colour it in with a crayon or a candle. These things make the paper water proof because it creates a barrier between the water and the paper.
Hope you are all well.
Mr McCrudden
