Primary 2

Good morning boys and girls. It’s almost the Easter holidays – not long to go now!

MATHS

This morning please can you watch this video to remind you about telling the time.

 

Now can you please complete a time worksheet from your home learning pack – chose whichever one you would like to do. Ask an adult to check it for you.

Now can you teach someone in your family what you know. Teach them about the hands of the clock and where the big hand and little hand should be pointing to at different times. You can also teach them about digital time if you can.

If you can – practice counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Try and go as far as you can. You could then try to start from different numbers to make it trickier, If you want a challenge, then try to count backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s. Here is a 100 square to help you if you need it. Good luck! Mrs Reid

Natural Art

It’s important to exercise and get some fresh air.  Go on a walk and collect fallen leaves, sticks, petals and use them to make a picture or sculpture.  Remember we would love to see your creations please email them to the school.

Numeracy

Write the 2 times table onto pieces of card.  Turn the pieces of card over and select one at a time.  I would like you to make an array using materials from around the house toy cars, counters, buttons or cheerios.  Remember an array is made up of rows and columns.

You can use this game to explore making different arrays

Primary 2 Afternoon

Good Afternoon P2, how did you get on with your writing this morning? Please leave a comment.

Here is the Eatwell Guide. As part of our Health and Wellbeing lessons, we are looking at the different Food Groups ( Fruit and Vegetables, Carbohydrates, Milk and Dairy, Food High in Fat and/or Sugar, Protein) and what makes a balanced meal. Here is an Eatwell Guide which gives us information on what makes a healthy and well-balanced diet.

The following link will take you to an interactive website where you have to sort food items into their relevant food groups.

Have fun!

How are your basketball dribbling skills? Practise dribbling using any ball. If it’s too easy, put some obstacles in a line and dribble in and out of them.

Good Morning P2!

Hope you are keeping yourself busy and doing lots of fun learning!

We are going to move on to a different Writing Genre, Explanation. Watch the video below, Maddie’s Do You Know – How is LEGO made?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57a30ObPBqc

  1. Write a title, for example, How LEGO is Made.
  2. Explain how the process starts and finishes. What is the starting material for LEGO, how is colour added, how does the LEGO get its shape?
  3. Write a final paragraph to sum up what the explanation has been about.
  4. Do not write your personal opinion or your thoughts and feelings. That means no I/we.
  5. Draw a labelled diagram to show the process.

The information you need will be in the short video. You may want to watch it a few times or pause in between to write information down.

The video in very interesting! Happy writing!

If you didn’t make salt dough and don’t have any play-doh at home then make your numbers using dried pasta/raisins/chocolate buttons/lego bricks etc.

There are lots of Spring Maths activities on this website. Once you are on the website choose a Maths game – Easter eggs, flowers, bunny, present or chick. Have fun!

Good Morning P2

Hi everyone. Hope everyone is safe and well. Here are a few tasks for this morning

 

Make salt dough with an adult to help you. It is very easy to make. Here is the recipe and instructions

4 tbsp flour (any kind)

1 tbsp salt

Half a tbsp vegetable oil

30ml water

  1. Measure out your ingredients and mix them all together. Knead it together. If it seems too wet – add a little more flour
  2. You can add food colouring/glitter/herbs etc if you want
  3. Keep it in a sealed bag/box and it will last all week

 

Use your salt dough to make your first and second name. You could also try to make capital letters from your salt dough. Start at the letter A and try and make all the letters right through to Z. You can use the salt dough that we made in class that you took home too or play-doh.
