Primary 2

Hi boys and girls. Hope you are all staying safe at home. Here are a few activities for this morning!

LITERACY

Remind yourself of the capital letters and their names by singing the alphabet song. Watch this video on how to form the capital letters A-Z.

Practice writing the capital letters in different ways – in your jotter/on the ground with chalk/using paint with your finger etc. Make sure you start and finish in the correct place.

Our names begin with a capital letter. Try to think of a boys and a girls name for each letter of the alphabet – your family can join in and help too. Write your list of names in your jotter from A-Z. Good Luck!

 

Remember to continue to practice your tricky words from your word walls with an adult, as much as possible.

Remember to send any photos of your work or send any comments to

 

wlpolkemmet-ps-primary2@glowschools.org.uk

 

It would be great to hear from you. Mrs Reid!

 

 

 

Primary 2 – Afternoon

How did you get on this morning? Leave a comment on this blog or email us at wlpolkemmet-ps-primary2@westlothian.org.uk .

What a lovely day it is today! Have a look around outside, how many similes can you come up with. Remember, a simile is when you compare two different things by saying one is ‘like’ or ‘as’ something else.  For example:

The clouds are as fluffy as candy floss.

I have compared the clouds to candy floss.

Another example: The sequins on my t-shirt are like sparkling diamonds.

How many can you come up with?

Outside Bingo – Explore your surroundings or when you go for a daily walk, look out for these things on the list. Even try and find the impossible!

Spelling – Pick 5 words from your word wall that you don’t know very well.  Try writing them in something messy like flour, foam, mud etc.

Enjoy the sunshine!

 

Primary 2 – Morning

Good Morning P2! I hope you had a lovely couple of days off!

Literacy

For Literacy today, we are going to look at similes. Watch this video:

Here is a picture of a bear. What can you compare the bear and features of the bear LIKE or AS to? Can you think of at least three similes and write them down?  Will you be AS busy AS bee in this task?

 

P1 Literacy

Good morning everyone,

Hope everyone had a lovely long weekend. We hope you are all safe, well and happy.

For Literacy this morning we would like you to look at your word walls. You are just to read the words, if you are sounding them out you need to keep practising.

With the words on your word walls that you are finding tricky to remember we would like you make a game. Here is an example,

Add the words that you are finding tricky and play with someone in your house.

Here are some other fun ways of remembering those tricky words,

  • Write your words on bits of paper. Get someone in your house to call them out. Either slap your hand down or use a toy to find the word.

  • Write your words in chalk on the pavement outside. Ask someone in your house to call out a word and jump on the word.

  • Write your words on two different coloured bits of card. Turn the card over and play a memory game or try to match the words and read them out loud.

You don’t need to use the words in the examples. Use the words that you are finding tricky.

Primary 2 – Friday 1st May

Good morning boys and girls – it’s May! How did that happen so quickly? Hope everyone is well. I can’t believe it’s Friday again! This morning here are a few tasks for you to try.

MATHS

Watch this video to remind you about addition! It’s been a while now since we’ve done it together.

 

Use the grid below. See if you can write a sum for each of the answers. Eg. the first number is 9 so the sum could be 8+1 or 4+5 or 6+3. Try to write sums for a whole line – choose a line across, up and down or diagonal. You decide. Do as many lines as you can. There is a trickier one underneath for a challenge. Good luck!

MATHS

We learned about tally marks last term. Can you create a survey to complete with your family using tally marks. You can choose what you want to ask them. Ask the people in your home. If you can – ask your grandparents/aunties/uncles/cousins/friends using FaceTime, text message or on the phone etc. Here are a few suggestions for your survey

  1. What is your favourite colour?
  2. What is your favourite food?
  3. What is your favourite animal?
  4. What is your favourite football team?

Here is an example based on favourite pets to help you create your own. Draw it in your jotter.
