Did you manage to find your favourite books yesterday? If you have them  all in one place how about making your own mini library from an empty box?

How big the box needs to be depends on how many books you have and what size they are.

Maybe you could paint it/ decorate it with coloured paper. You could write or stick on some famous reading quotes (see below). Think where is best to put your library so you can get to your books whenever you want to snuggle up and read. Maybe having some cuddly toys nearby would be a good idea too?

You can keep a note of all the books you have or have read with the reading journal page above.

 

 

 

P3 have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes this term – why don’t you go on a shape hunt around your house or in your garden? You can use these sheets to help you keep tally of what you see, or you could create your own record sheet.

Here is a lovely news story –

Children have been making rainbows and sticking them in their windows. They are doing ths to cheer people up as they out and about. It has also been known now as the Rainbow trail as many children are looking out for the rainbows if they are out for a walk.  I thought perhaps Deans Primary children might like to start this in our school area too!

A rainbow has always been seen as a sign of Hope,and there are lots of stories about what might be at the end of the rainbow too – maybe you could write a story to go with your rainbow picture!

These may be useful to do at various points of our day !

Have a go !

Lucy reads her favourite book for a little while.

This time last year we had a visit from the author Chris Duke, who wrote the story “Lucy’s Blue Day” .

It is about a little girl whose hair changes colour depending on her mood.

One day she wakens up and discovers her hair is blue and she doesn’t know why ….

Well our wee Lucy is feeling a bit blue now too  – especially as she has to stay at home all day! Perhaps you can write a story about how Lucy keeps busy or write her a letter to cheer her up and suggest what she can do ! Maybe you could post it on your class TEAMS page?

Follow Lucy’s adventures here each day!

#it’s ok not to be ok

Remember that now is a great time to be gathering all your books together and reading your favourite ones again!

We usually have quiet times to read as part of our day in school.

Perhaps you can include this in your day at home?

 

 

“JIGSAW” is the main resource that all of our classes are using  for health and wellbeing this session.

As part of the weekly lessons, there are usually “Calm Me” meditation type exercises and also stories clips and songs.
