Here is a challenge for all the Disney fans in Primary 3.

Health and Wellbeing

Natural object meditation

Hold the object – e.g. a shell, pebble or piece of fruit – in your cupped hands. Is it heavy or light, warm or cool? Is it smooth, bumpy or rough. What colours can you see? Gaze at the patterns, colours and textures in the object and appreciate its beauty.

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Good afternoon everyone. Here are your tasks for this afternoon.

We have been learning in PE about how our body needs exercise to keep our bodies including our hearts and lungs healthy. Can you use the internet to research other benefits of daily exercise. Try to find out information from websites. Here are some questions to help you

How long should we exercise for each day?
How does exercise keep our bodies and minds healthy?
What types of activities can you do to exercise?
Where can you exercise?
Which parts of our body work the hardest when we exercise?

Make notes about exercise from the websites in your jotter. Use your notes to create a poster to encourage people to exercise everyday. Your poster should have

a large title about exercise
colourful, large pictures
information (short information messages – not a story)
Neat and tidy writing

Good afternoon boys and girls,

Last week you were asked to make your own clock using stones and sticks. This week you are going to do some more work to practise telling the time.

https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/116/telling-the-time

Try to work out which time each clock is, you can write it down or you could discuss this at home with an adult 🙂

Have a lovely day

Good afternoon

Numeracy

I would like you to choose a worksheet from below and complete it in your jotter. Then try to answer questions from the Sumdog Challenge.

Column addition

Pirate Number Bonds to 20

Number Bonds to 10

Science

Hello Everyone we have a fresh challenge for you this week. This week we are going to move away from the building challenges and do a bit of a brain teaser.

Did you know that your brain is split up into different areas. For example, the area of your brain that controls movement is different from the area that controls talking and listening. These different areas are linked but certain areas specialise in different activities.

Watch the video clip then draw the table. The table is really important so make sure you copy it down accurately. Once you have done that, test yourself and see which activities you are good at some will be harder than others.

Once you have done that you need to put someone else to the test. It will be most fun if you have an adult to work with however anyone will do.

Food and Farming

Good morning Primary 1,

Hope you are all well.

For Literacy this morning we would like you to use your blending skills to solve this code breaker,

For Science, Mr McCrudden would like you to watch this film and make a launcher using junk around the house. You will need a grown up to help you. Remember to ask a grown up before using it in the house just in case.

Pop back later for some more activities,

🙂

Good morning

Today we are going to explore superpowers and have some fun with the Incredibles!

Literacy

I hope you enjoyed yesterdays story, today we are going to complete activities based on the story Commotion in the Ocean. Please listen to the story and then choose 3 activities to complete in your jotter.

Throughout the story, new sea creatures are introduced using short rhyming poems. Can you create your own poem for a sea creature of your choice?

There are many different types of sea creature in the story. Which of the sea creatures is your favourite, and why?

There are facts about each of the sea creatures hidden within the poems. Can you choose a sea creature from the story to research and make a fact file about it?

If you could have one of the sea creatures special features or skills for a day, what would you choose, and why? (for example would you have 8 arms or be able to swim underwater for a really long time?)

See if you can invent your own sea creature and then draw a picture of it. What features would it have? Would it have any special skills?

Good morning Primary 1,

This morning for Literacy we would like you to make a wanted poster. Imagine you are one of the 3 bears and you would like to catch the person who ate all your porridge, broke your chairs and beds. Either on a piece of paper or in your jotter make a wanted poster to catch Goldilocks.

Include:

WANTED at the top of your page.
A detailed drawing of Goldilocks
Write what she looks like, e.g. She has yellow hair. She has a blue dress. She is tall. You decide.
Remember to sound out your words, use finger spacing and capital letters.

Email us your wanted posters to,

wlpolkemmet-ps-primary1@westlothian.org.uk

For PE this morning we would like you try a bit of mindfulness,
