Bonjour tout le monde!

This afternoon we will do some French activities.

Over the next few weeks you could try to achieve some of the things on this French challenge sheet:

the_great_french_language_challenge

Some of the tasks are pretty tricky so don’t worry about trying to do them all.  Just have a go and you will be surprised what you learn!

To get you started, here is a French song to practise!

What do you think it is about? Discuss it with someone in your house.

Spelling – Sumdog

I have set each group a spelling challenge on sumdog to revise words you have learned in class.  Please log in to sumdog.com and have a go!  It will finish on Friday.

Have a fun afternoon.  If you are outside, please remember to stay safe in the sun by wearing a hat, using suncream and drinking lots of water!

Good Morning Primary 1,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

For PE today we would like you to do some dancing with the Kids Bop.

For Literacy this morning we would like you to do some handwriting. You can pick any page in one of your handwriting books. Watch this film on vowel sounds.

Remember we practise our word walls on a Monday. Today we challenge you to play a game of hop scotch with your tricky words. Ask a grown up to help you make it on the ground outside.

Pop back in a short time, I think we might hear from the friendly dragon again…

Literacy – Weekend News

Today is the 1st June, a new month! I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to spend some time outdoors. Perhaps you finally got to see some family?!  I’m sure it will have been a special weekend for many of you and I would love to hear what you did, who you saw and how you felt.   Please write your weekend news in your jotter and draw a picture to go with it.  Remember to include:

• punctuation – at least capital letters and full stops!
• openers – At the weekend…   Yesterday…   On Saturday….
• connectives – and      but    because      so
• adjectives – think of interesting describing words to explain what you did and how you felt.

Maths – 3D Shape

Last week you practised naming and describing 3D shapes.  Today we are going to practise making a 3D shape by creating a net.  A net is what a 3D shape looks like if it is opened out flat.

Watch the video first:

Next, see if you can carefully deconstruct a cardboard box (cereal, teabags, biscuits etc) to have a look at the net.  What 3D shape does the net make?  Can you draw around the net to make another one?

For a challenge, have a look at this activity and see if you can work out which nets will make a cube:

Have a lovely morning,

Good morning boys and girls

Jigsaw Jack today would like you to think about friendship.

First he would like you to listen to this video from toy story

All the toy story films are about friendship and the most special friendship in toy story is between Andy the little boy and Woody the cowboy. Woody is everything a good friend should be. What makes Andy and Woody such good friends? Share your thoughts with an adult at home.

Jigsaw Jack wants to be a good friend! He would like you to help him. Can you sort these statements into true and false depending on if they are something a good friend should be or not.

Be kind

Say sorry if they have upset you

Have no other friends

Care about other people

Have lots of toys and games

Only talk to me

Copy everything I do

Bring me presents all the time

Once you have done that can you draw a picture and write a sentence to say why you are a good friend.

‘I am a good friend because……’

Have a lovely weekend boys and girls,

Speak to you on Monday.

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good morning

Hope you are wide awake and ready to get moving with Jump Start Jonny.

The staff at Polkemmet Primary School have made a video of activities for you to try to keep fit and active during lockdown.  Enjoy!

Literacy – Free Writing Friday

I would like you to write a piece of writing of your choice.  You may choose to write a letter, a set of instructions, information or a comic strip.

Always remember to check over your work!

Art

Lets be creative with some Abstract Art.

Farming

I would like you to have a look at the images below of different farm buildings and spaces and discuss with an adult what you think they are used for.

Five Minute Box

A few children worked with Miss Watson using the 5 minute box.  If you wish to support this we have provided the resources below for those who wish to complete more activities to support phonics and tricky words.

Five-Minute-Box-1-Activities – Polkemmet

If you are looking for extra activities to try out at home here is a grid you may wish to use.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and stay safe.
