Although we cannot celebrate together you could have the Big Bedtime Read at home. Keep your pyjamas on a little longer, pick your favourite book and snuggle up with some toast and hot chocolate. Remember to talk about the title, author, illustrator and blurb.
If you have time you could also design a new front cover for your book.
Have a snuggly day, keep warm and read as often as you can.
Ms Fairnie and I hope you are having a great time in the snow!
We have a challenge for you. Build a snowman taller than yourself! Please ask whoever is looking after you to email photographs into school.
Remember you can also use the snow to write in. Write as many sight words as you can and maybe you could use your sounds to think of your own words to write. Numbers can also be written in the snow. Challenge yourself to write your numbers in backwards order.
We also wonder if you can use any of our Boost Words when you are speaking today (delighted, grab, puzzled and dangle). I’m sure many of you were puzzled when you woke up and then delighted to find out you had a snow day! Grab the chance to have fun in the snow but don’t dangle and fall into it! Mrs Miller’s best attempt at using all four this morning. You will be able to do a better job!
Please remember to read your homework books. Just to remind you we have attached the P1/P2 Winter Ready Pack. It has lots of fun ideas for you to do.
This week we thought about the story Rapunzel and the reasons why the witch made the tower so tall. We created our own towers – we wanted out towers to be taller than a ruler.
Nursery and Primary One are exploring Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths with loose play materials. At the first session we looked at the story of The Three Little Pigs and we were challenged to build a house that the Big Bad Wolf (Mrs Miller & Miss Rodgers) could not blow down.
Primary 1 and Primary 2/1 have been authors this week. Our books are ready and waiting for us to share with you at A Tea, A Tale and A Treat! We hope you can make it along.
Sammy from Beechbrae came to talk to us about recycling today. She was very impressed with everything we know. Look out for the recycling task in our school bags.
The competitive spirit is alive and kicking in Blackridge Primary School. P7 Heads of House organised a House Quiz morning and P1-3 thoroughly enjoyed it. A wealth of knowledge was on display in the categories of music, nursery rhymes and general knowledge to name a few! Some of the teachers got in on the act too!
