Good afternoon everyone,

Here are some tasks for you to try this afternoon.

Topic – Food and Farming

Listen to the radio broadcast, ‘Down on the Farm,’ and see if you can find the answers to the questions.  Write the answers as sentences in your jotter, remembering capital letters and full stops.

Listen to the ‘Summer’ programme here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/curations/down-on-the-farm-on-cbeebies-radio

Answer these questions:

Can you think of 3 more facts that you have learned from the programme?  Write these in your jotter too and draw a picture to go with them.

French

Do you know the well-known story of the Tortoise and the Hare?  If not, you can read it here:  Tortoise and the Hare Story

Now, watch it in French and see if you can identify any vocabulary (words): https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z7tjmp3

Can you find things that are the same and things that are different between the two versions of the story?  Discuss these with someone in your house or write them down in your jotter.

Have a lovely afternoon, remember to email us if you have any questions or to send us some pictures of your work:

Have fun

Good Morning Primary 1,

Pop back later for some more activities.

Good morning everyone!

How are you all feeling today?  Check-in with your family and say how you are all feeling and why.

Here is the new home learning grid.  It is a bit different as it is the last 2 weeks of term 🙂  Home Learning Grid 6

Here is the attachment for the Bug Hotel (from the new grid):

Literacy – Writing

I hope you all had a good weekend even though the weather wasn’t great.  I went for a few long walks and made chocolate fairy cakes with my daughter. She loved them! What did you get up to?  Can you write your weekend news to tell me?  Remember your writing targets.

Punctuation  CL    .    !    ,

Openers     At the weekend…..     Yesterday…    On Saturday…..

Connectives (joining words)   and    but       so      because

Descriptive language     adjectives (describing words)

Maths – Position and Movement

This week we will be practising describing journeys using words:

forwards           backwards              left          right            turn       half turn                  quarter turn       clockwise          anti-clockwise

Have a look at this website to remind yourself:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbtp34j/articles/zrnjjhv

In your home or garden, work with someone you live with to practise describing and following directions.  Put a few obstacles on the floor or ground, and direct them from one end of the room to another. You could make something the ‘treasure’ and place it in different places to direct them to!

For example:

Forward 3 steps…turn left ( quarter turn anticlockwise)….forward 4 steps……turn right (quarter turn clockwise)…forward 5 steps…TREASURE!

If you would like some more practise with coordinates from last week, here are some games to try:

Good morning boys and girls,

Today Jigsaw jack today wants to know about things we like the feel of and things we don’t.

Below is a picture of people holding hands. How do you feel about holding hand? When and with who?

We all feel differently about holding hands. Some of those like the feeling of holding hands with our friends or parents/carers, some of us don’t like holding hands with people we don’t know very well. All these feelings are ok.

Can you think of textures do like the feel of? What textures do you not like the feel of?

Jigsaw jack would like you to think about how you would greet these different people

Friends

Family

Teachers

Different types of greetings are acceptable or not in different situations and it is ok to say no.

In your jotter can you draw a picture of your most favourite person to hug.

Have a great weekend, speak to you on Monday

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia
