There are 5 ways identified by the NHS to support our Wellbeing, and below is a short cartoon (filmed before Lockdown!) to explain.

West Lothian’s V.E. 75 “Dance from Home”Lots of people in West Lothian danced in the street to celebrate V.E. Day. While social distancing makes dancing in the street a bit difficult, we would like you to learn our 1940s style V.E. Day 75 dance. This instructional video provided by Central Scotland Ballet School takes you through the steps. On Friday, we are asking the people of West Lothian to come together and perform a V.E. dance at 8pm. Please share this video with your friends and family and remember to practice before Friday #MuseumFromHome VEDay2020
I hope you are all well this Friday morning and ready for another day of learning! I thought we could try another way to start our day with this dance workout. Enjoy!
2D Shape
Watch the clip to remind you about shapes and their sides.
It’s a special day today. On the 8th of May 75 years ago the Second World War ended. There were lots of celebrations then and today lots of people are remembering and celebrating too. You might want to make your own bunting (a kind of flag) to hang up.
Happy Friday P3, hope everyone is safe and well. The weather has been lovely and I hope you have all managed to play outdoors during your daily exercise.
Today marks 75 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe. Miss Taylor has posted ideas on the blog on how to celebrate this event and also a writing task for you to complete.
Science
We are going to explore food chains today. Do you know what that is and why it is important to be aware of food chains?? Talk through your ideas with a grown up. If you are not sure then hopefully the following clip will help develop your understanding:
Now I would like you to make your own food chain. Perhaps you could research food chains in the ocean and then try to make a food chain mobile. I have attached the instructions.
We are continuing to learn about measure and how to use our knowledge of measure in everyday life. I have attached measure challenge cards for you to try. Make ask a grown up to help you.
I have found a game linked to measure on education city. Log in, click on subjects, click on maths then first with two stars and then a range of games will appear. Click on desk assessment and it’s a game about working out the differences in measuring objects, have fun!!
P.E.
Why not finish your lessons with some Go Noodle, I know you enjoy this with Mrs Hillan during PE. I have attached a link to one of your favourites, I’m sure!!
Have a lovely weekend P3 and I will check in with you next Friday.
I hope you are well and have been enjoying the beautiful warm sunny weather.
Activity 1 – Edinburgh Zoo – live webcam
I hope you enjoyed the WWF challenge (to make a habitat) and look forward to seeing pictures of your completed models. I thought today it might be good to drop into see how the penguins at Edinburgh Zoo are getting on without any visitors. As you know Zoos are closed at the moment but there is a live webcam set up so you can watch them from your home. I have been watching them and they are just amazing! Click on the link below
S.C. I can use my tearing skills to create the owls feathers
If we were at school we would be looking at forests and woodland creatures and I know one creature that we all would like to find out more about would be owls. So lets begin by making one.
Firstly draw an owl shape (see in the picture)
Then tear different colours of paper and stick them onto your owl shape. Cut out yellow eyes, break and feet. Stick them on and cut round the owl shape. Easy! Enjoy
Activity 3- Topic
L.I. to search for information
S.C.I can record 3 interesting facts about owls
Try to find out 3 interesting facts about owls and record your findings on a fact file. If you have any books at home they may be useful or ask an adult to help you search online. One fact that I found out was that Owls ears are unlike our ears. They are located at the side of their heads but one ear is higher than the other. I have made one that you can copy into your jotter, or make your own.
Have a fantastic weekend, keep safe! More activities on Monday.
2.If you don’t have the materials to make the diorama you could draw a forest scene.
