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!

Outside-Bingo

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!

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.

Let’s start our day with one of our favourite dances that Miss Walter taught us!

Literacy

We learned Scottish words that we found in the songs Ye Cannae Shove Yer Granny Aff A Bus and Skinny Malinky.  Today I would like you to listen to the story The Gruffalo read in Scots.  What Scottish words can you hear and what do they mean, write as many as you can

Primary 1 Maths/ JIGSAW

Good morning boys and girls!

For maths today try some counting forwards

and backwards

Then can you ask a grown up to say a number within 10 and using your hands throw them the number. Here is an example throw the number 8. I have 8 fingers thrown and 2 hidden.

For JIGSAW today can you draw a picture for each different time of the day showing JIGSAW Jack how you keep clean and healthy. I have posted the different times throughout the day to draw pictures for. You can do this in your jotter or on a piece of paper if you like. What things do you do in the morning to keep clean and healthy? Examples of things you might draw are – brushing your teeth, getting washed, getting ready, brushing your hair, having your breakfast and going to school.

Have a lovely weekend boys and girls. Remember it is the holiday weekend so we will see you back here again on Wednesday morning at 9am.

Keep yourself safe

P1 Literacy

Good Morning everyone,

We are at the end of the week. Well done with all your learning this week.

Remember you can watch the BBC Bitesize TV program on BBC Scotland to help with all your learning. The Word Waves and Maths at the beginning of the program are great for P1. It starts at 9am on a week day.

For PE today, try to get active with your name. Find the letter in your name and do the PE task.

For Literacy, we would like you to pick a page in one of your handwriting booklets. You can choose.

On BBC Bitesize there is a short film called caterpillar letters. Pop on and watch it.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zh8c47h

Caterpillar letters are the letters: c, f, g, a, q and o.

Firstly use your finger to practise forming each caterpillar letter in the air.
Once you’re confident forming the letters, try writing them on paper or in your jotter. See if you can write a whole row of each letter with a finger space in between. You could use different colour pencils if you like.

Then try drawing them all really big on a piece of paper and see if you can draw some caterpillars inside each letter.

Remember there are still games on Sumdog and Education City.

Pop on later for some more activities.

This is a long weekend with the May bank holiday and Inservice day on Tuesday, so pop back on Wednesday for more tasks.

Keep safe and keep washing your hands 🙂

Mrs Melia and Miss Beaton

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!
