Primary One – Thursday 2nd April 2020

Good morning everyone! Hope you are all safe and well. Just 2 more days until the Easter holidays! Some extra activities for you to try.

Activity 1 –  Phonics oo and ee sounds

I have copied 2 pages that can be completed in jotters. The idea is that you choose a consonant sound from the first square box bring it down to the number 1 dotted line then choose either oo or ee to bring down for the next sound, then choose the last sound from the end square box. Now blend the sounds together, say the word and draw a picture to match. Try to complete both sheets. You could extend your learning by creating you own boxes with different sounds. How many words can you make and read?

L.I. to understand that two letters can make 1 sound

S.C. I can blend oo and ee with other sounds to create and read words

Activity 2 – Maths –  Money

As it is nearly Easter I have copied 2 worksheets for you to try. They are called How Much Do the Easter Eggs Cost?. There are 4 eggs with different amounts in each. I would suggest that if the children have banks or you have some spare change it would be helpful to use concrete materials to support understanding. Again use the jotter to record answers. To extend learning the children could draw their own Easter eggs putting different amounts in each and then adding to find a total.

L.I. to recognize and use a range of coins

S.C. I can identify coins to 10p

S.C. I can apply my addition skills to add coins up to value of 10p

Activity 3 – Easter Activities

Some fun things to do with your family over the holiday

  1. Have an egg an spoon race (make sure the egg is hard boiled!)
  2. Decorate an Easter egg tree (made from branches etc, that you may find on your daily exercise walk?)
  3. Make an Easter basket and leave it at someone’s door to cheer them up
  4. Easter egg treasure hunt in your own garden
  5. Easter egg rolling race in your own garden
  6. Easter egg decorating competition.

Remember we would love to see pictures so please send them to the schools email address. http://deasnsprimary.westlothian.org.uk

Have a great day. Stay safe!

Primary One – Wednesday 1st April 2020

Good Morning everyone I hope you are all safe and well. Remember it’s April fools day don’t get caught out! A few extra activities for you to try-

Activity 1 – Reading for enjoyment

All children are now familiar with Oxford Reading Tree books and know the main characters – Biff, Chip, Kipper, Floppy, Mum and Dad. You can access Oxfords free ebook library at http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk . 

I hope you enjoy reading the adventures that the children get themselves into. Perhaps the children could try to identify tricky words, attempt to sound out words or talk about the sequence of the story. Enjoy!

Activity 2-  Phonics – oo and ee sounds

I have posted 2 reading cards which included words with the ee and oo sound in them. Children could copy them into their jotters and practice reading them, or the sentence could be written on a piece of paper and each word cut out  individually, so that the children can put the sentence back together in the correct order.

L.I. to understand that two letters can make 1 sound

S.C. I can blend oo and ee sound with other sounds to read words

S.C. I can create a sentence by putting the words in the correct order.

Activity 3 – Continue to practice your daily 5 (adding and subtracting numbers within 10 mentally) also today try skip counting in 2’s, 10’s and as a challenge in 5’s, it maybe a good idea to have a 100 square so that the children can see the pattern. There are a number of printable 100 squares on online, below is a link to one that maybe useful. If you don’t have access to a printer you can have fun making one.

L.I. to explore numbers within 10 and in some cases beyond 10

S.C. I can add 2 collections or numbers together

S.C. I can take a smaller number away from a bigger number (use concrete materials to support e.g. toys, pens etc.)

S.C. I can skip count in 2’s, 10’s and 5’s

Activity 4 – Make an Easter Card

At the moment it is difficult for us to get to the shops to buy cards etc. so it maybe a nice idea to make some Easter cards and send  to people in your family that you won’t be able to meet up with. Handmade cards are always very special! I have put a few ideas below but be as creative as you can! Please send pictures to the school email so that we can all enjoy them. http://deansprimary.westlothian.org.uk

   

Have a great day, stay safe!
