Good afternoon everyone 🙂

Mrs Keenan would like you to try the rhythm challenge. You can sing, clap or pat along, or even play your maraca if you made one.

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:

Remember to email any questions or photos of your work to:

Good afternoon boys and girls,

Have you had a busy morning?

For maths today you are going to give someone in your house directions? It could be from your bedroom to the living room or maybe the living room to the kitchen. Remember to use directional language left right, forward and backwards. To get to my kitchen I need to take 8 steps forward, turn left and then 5 steps forward

Why not try this on education city. You just need to write down the directions you would give Sten to get to Manu’s house.

If you have a tablet you could download the bee-bot app. Here is what you need to look for.

Today we would also like you to take a little video telling us what your favourite part of Primary 1 so far has been. If you don’t want to do a video maybe you could draw a picture and write a sentence. Once you have done this could you send it into the Primary 1 email box where Mrs Melia and I can see them all. Here is the email address

Have a lovely afternoon

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good morning everyone,

Hope you are all well.

Today for PE join Oti dancing to the Lion King.

For Music, listen to these songs.

Listening.

Go on a listening walk around your house. What can you hear?

A clock ticking? , the washing machine? any animal sounds?

For Literacy today the sound we are visiting again is ‘th’. Remember this is the cheeky sound – the one you are allowed to stick your tongue out at 😛

‘Th’ can be at the beginning of a word like the, thin, thick, or at the end of a word like bath and cloth. And sometimes it is in the middle of a word like clothes. What this films to remind yourself,

In your jotter, draw 4 pictures that either begin with or end with th. Remember, add lots of detail. Can you try to write the word next to your drawing? Then try to write 2 sentences with ‘th’ word for example,

The moth has wings.

Remember you can take a picture and send it to our email address,

wlpolkemmet-ps-Primary1@westlothian.org.uk

We look forward to seeing them. There is also a sumdog spelling challenge open for the rest of this week. Can you spell the 10 words with th?

Pop back later for some maths activities 🙂

Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton

Good morning everyone and Happy Tuesday!

Try counting and dancing along to this to liven yourself up this morning:

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.

Grammar – Adjectives (Describing Words)

Last week Mrs Docherty set you some work and videos to learn about adjectives.  Use what you learned and have a go at the Grammar Challenge on https://www.sumdog.com/user/sign_in

I look forward to seeing how you all get on!

Remember the class email address is:

wlpolkemmet-ps-primary3@westlothian.org.uk

Please let us know how you are getting on and if we can help with anything.

Mrs Harding 🙂
