Good Morning Everyone!

Happy Thursday boys and girls, today is my last day posting on the blog for you. I’m feeling so so sad that I can’t see you all in person and have an amazing end of term celebration with you all in our classroom together. I am going to miss you all next year and hope to see you all around the school and hopefully hear a about the amazing things you will be achieving with your new teacher. I wish you all the best of luck and please know that I have had the best year working alongside you all and helping you to learn, grow and be the best you can be. You are all superstars!! Have an amazing summer holiday, keep safe and healthy and most importantly have lots and lots and lots of fun.

So to finish off our last day (blog) together let’s have fun on day 5 of our virtual trip to Disneyland. I don’t know about you but this has really made me want to visit Disney with Noah at some point! The rides all look amazing.

Disney Day 5!

Look at this picture from the movie ‘Moana’.

Only 1 in 1000 turtles live to be adults, they need our help!

Can you help the baby turtle to get to the sea by pointing out all of the obstacles.

What do humans need to do when they are on the beach to keep turtles safe? I love going to the beach but am sometimes saddened by all the things which can spoil such a beautiful place. How can we keep our beaches a wonderful place to visit for not only us as humans but for all the wildlife too?

Have a lovely summer holiday. Looking forward to seeing you again next session.

 

 

 

Good morning Primary 2! I hope you are all having a great week! We are almost at the end of term, and I am so proud of how well you have all done during these strange times. Here are some activities for your second last day in P2!

End of the year questions

Here are today’s questions for reflection!

1. What is something that you did this year that you will remember for the rest of your life?
2. What are you looking forward to doing over the summer?

Numeracy

Here is another fun game for the day! This game is called ‘Salute’ and is very similar to the game ‘heads up’.

What you will need:

1. Two people
2. Cards numbered 1-10 (or larger numbers for a challenge). These can be made from pieces of paper or post-it notes

How to play:

1. Player 1 should stick a number card to Player 2’s head (Player 2 shouldn’t see the card)
2. Player 1 should give Player 2 clues so they can guess the number (e.g. your number is double 7)
3. Once the number has been guessed correctly, swap roles and play the game again.

To make the game harder, increase the value of the numbers and use word problems as clues.

Get moving

Let’s get up and moving with Jack Hartmann! See if you can get everyone in your house to join in!

Memories

I would like you to use the template below to draw 4 things that you remember from this year. You can either print this template or draw it on a piece of paper. Once you have drawn your memories, I would like you to write at least 2 sentences about each one to describe it. Send your completed memory sheet to wldeans-ps@westlothian.org.uk so I can see your highlights of the year!

Have a super day everyone!
