Primary 3 – Wednesday 22nd April
Good morning everyone and Happy Earth Day!!!
Earth Day is celebrated every year on the 22 of April for the last 47 years. In 1970, a US Senator from Wisconsin, created this national day to create awareness of the environment and how we treat nature. Today this day is celebrated as an international event in 193 countries.
I thought in order to celebrate this, it would be a good idea for you to use whatever you have available at home to create your own ‘Earth’ picture. Below are some lovely ideas:
Below is a link to a Minecraft challenge. The challenge involves building your own sculpture for Jupiter Artland. The winning design will join the permanent collection at Jupiter’s online universe plus other goodies.
Numeracy – Try this Multiplication Game:
Literacy – Watch Newsround and find out what is new today – what did you find out? Is there anything you need help understanding? Ask someone at home or Google it.
-Create a bookmark – perhaps you could choose characters from your favourite stories.
-Read a new story today – use your new bookmark to keep your place.
Remember you can access books like the Oxford Reading Tree ones from:

Good Morning Everybody!
I hope you all managed to enjoy some lovely Scottish sunshine yesterday. Here are some of today’s additional home learning tasks.
Reading/Science
This week, we have been reading The Big Carrot on Oxford Owls ebooks. Did you manage to find out the book which was similar to this one….. The Enormous Turnip! Today I would like you to have a go at ‘un-jumbling’ a sentence from the story. Normally we do this task with the jumbled words cut up and we arrange them in the correct order. You could get an adult to write out the words on a piece of paper and have you stick them in the right order to make the sentence make sense. Re – read the book on the website and have a look at my jumbled up sentence below. Think about where the capital letters and full stops go and that should give you a good start.
tug carrot . and Tom the Ifra big
Remember to write the sentence out in your best handwriting and you can add a detailed picture to illustrate the sentence.
Got any carrots in your fridge? Did you know that you can use the tops of your carrots to plant and turn into a pretty carrot greens? I heard that some of our bean stalks are growing at a pretty crazy rate so I thought maybe since we were so successful with growing them that we could try something a little different.
Remember our bean Stalk diaries? Why not keep a carrot stalk diary and record everyday how much your carrot grows, you could draw a picture, measure the stalk with a ruler and write down anything interesting that you notice. I am definitely going to try this with my little boy. I wonder who can grow the tallest carrot? But first have a think about all the different things a plant needs to survive. Can you share what you already know with an adult? Here is a little song to remind you.
I have attached a very simple template for you to use if you have a printer, otherwise you could make up your own in your jotters.
Phonics
Yesterday we revisited ‘ck’, so today let’s have a look at two different sounds from last term. Can you remember the story of ee and oo from Inky’s Vowel House? Share the story with an adult if you can remember. If not below is a little reminder for you.
‘ee’ and ‘oo’
Here are 2 clips to help you recall the ee and oo sounds.
What objects can you find around your house which contain these sounds? Find as many as you can and draw pictures of them writing out the word below your picture in your purple jotters.
I have attached a little challenge sheet for you to have a go.
You can either display it on your screen or if you have access to a printer print it off to complete with the support of an adult. You have to figure out the code to make to the word to help you read and complete the sentences at the bottom.
I’ve added two new games to our homework section in Educationcity for you to practise.
‘Meet the Sheep’ and ‘The Big Cook Book’. Good luck and have fun.
Numeracy and Maths
Our daily 5 for today with a focus on using near doubles to help us find the solution to the calculation.
5 + 6 = 4 + 5 = 6 + 7 = 10 + 11 = 2 + 3 =
I have attached a game below for you to play with an adult. It requires a dice and two counters. This will help you to get faster at recalling your doubles and using your knowledge of doubles to help solve near doubles calculations.
doubles and near doubles board game
I mentioned above about measuring the growth of your carrots. I know that Mrs Lockhart has been teaching you all about measuring on Friday, so here’s a little challenge for you all. Go on a hunt around your house, how many measuring instruments can you find and what do they measure?
Can you find something which measures…
Time, water, length… what else can you think of?
As usual here is a little song to give you some inspiration.
Good luck with all of your home learning tasks today. I hope you all have fun.

Primary 2 – Wednesday 22nd April 2020
Good Morning Primary 2! I have seen your STEM challenges as part of the video above and I think they are all absolutely fantastic! What a great job you have all done! Here are some fun activities for today.
Writing
Miss Borsbey had a very strange dream last night. She dreamt that she turned into a chicken! Your task today is to write a story with the title “If I was a chicken”. Think about things you might see, feel, hear, touch and smell. Make your story as imaginative it can be! Remember, to be successful writers we must use:
- Capital letters
- Full stops
- Finger spaces
- Adjectives
- 5 senses
- Check our own writing
Numeracy
Can you use different coins to make the following amounts? Lay out the coins first and then write them down to make the total amount. Remember what coins we have available to us to make the different amounts.
- 28p
- 34p
- 17p
- 63p
- 99p
- £1.15p
Check out this link from BBC Bitesize all about counting in 5s. Watch the videos and complete the tasks. Can you make up your own challenge questions all about counting in 5s?

Primary One- Wednesday 22nd April 2020
Morning everyone! Happy World Earth Day!
Earth day takes place on the 22nd of April every year. It is a day to remind people how to look after the earth. It also helps people to learn more about the environment. As part of our participation Fridays we have been looking at the important issue of recycling. Can the children remember the 3 “R”? Can they retell the story of the Messy Magpie? (Its a really good story and you can find it on twinkl) and the important message she realizes by the end? There will be a lot of media coverage it maybe a good idea to listen to Newsround at 11 o’clock. Below are a few Earth Day Activities for you to try.
Activity 1 – Art and Craft
Using recycled materials draw a large circle (perhaps use a cereal box), cut it out and using blue and green paint/colouring pencils try to colour the sea blue and countries in our world green (there are a number of images of the world on line that can support this ). Then draw and cut out some love hearts and on each one make a promise of things that you could do to save our planet. Attach the hearts to the world with string/wool and hang the mobile in your house to remind you of your promises to help save our planet.
Activity 2 – Minecraft Competition
Below is a link to a Minecraft challenge. The challenge involves building your own sculpture for Jupiter Artland. The winning design will join the permanent collection at Jupiter’s online universe plus other goodies.
Activity 3 – Phonics
I would like to move onto a new sounds from Inky’s Vowel House. The new sound is ai. The ai sound lives in the second window under ee. The old man who lives in this part of the house finds it difficult to hear and often says “ai”.
L.I. to understand that 2 letters can make one sound
S.C. I can blend this sound with others to read words
S.C. I can spell words with this sound
Can you practice sounding out and blending these words?
ai-m, r-ai-n, t-ai-l, m-ai-l, s-ai-l, p-ai-d, p-ai-n, p-ai-n-t, n-ai-l, w-ai-t, Can you think of anymore? As an extension, can you create an interesting sentence?
Activity 4 – Numeracy- 5/10 a daily
L.I. to count on and back
S.C. I can add to numbers together to find a total using different strategies
S.C. I can take away one number from another to find a total
It is great that you are continuing to practice you daily 5. So I thought I would extend the challenge a little and increase the number of questions.
5 + 3 = 7 + 3 =
6 + 2 = 9 + 2 =
4 – 3 = 8 – 2 =
6 – 3 = 9 – 3 =
9 – 5 = 10 – 3 =
Remember to use concrete materials and write your answers in your jotter.
Have a great day, stay safe. More posts on the blog tomorrow.
