Good Morning Primary 2! Here are some fun activities for today.

Numeracy

Let’s practise what we know about telling the time. I have attached the link to the time song.

Have a go at the following questions:

  • Where should the minute hand be when it is o’clock?
  • Where should the minute hand be when it is half past?
  • Where should the minute hand be when it is quarter past?
  • Where should the minute hand be when it is quarter to?

Art

Let’s have a go at drawing Spring animals. First, you need to choose your favourite Spring animal. Here are some suggestions:

  • Bunny
  • Lamb
  • Chick
  • Pony
  • Duck
  • Swan
  • Calf

Once you have drawn your Spring animal, can you colour it in using only primary colours? Remember the primary colours are blue, yellow and red. After using primary colours to colour your animal, can you use secondary colours to colour the background? Remember the secondary colours are green, orange and purple.

Send a picture of your animal to wldeans-ps@westlothian.org.uk so we can see your fantastic work!

P.3 (23.04.2020)

Good morning everyone, Mrs Lockhart here.

I’m getting a chance to work with you on a Thursday now so I’ve been busy thinking up some fun activities for you.

I hope you are all well this morning and ready for another day of learning!

Mrs Hillan has encouraged me to do the Joe Wicks workout. Use her link again for you and anyone else in your house who wants to join in and get moving. It’s a great start to your day!

 

 

 

 

Next I thought we could revise some information handling work. Complete the attached worksheet all about our eye colour.

eye colour bar graph

Now we have some tasks around our Religious Education learning. A few weeks ago now we were discussing our values in class. Values like being kind, saying sorry or caring for all. Look at the Lost Sheep powerpoint.

he-Lost-Sheep-Story-Powerpoint_ver_2

It is a story from the Bible (a Christian’s special book) with an important message.

 

Create a poster, to demonstrate the Caring for All value that the Bible story illustrates, in the following worksheet.

caring for all poster

Finally I thought we could complete our tasks for today by thinking about our wellbeing. Watch the following slideshow and try out these simple yoga breathing techniques.

Yoga Breathe and Feel Good – Presentation

 

 

Then complete the worksheet which reminds us about all the things that keep us healthy inside and out.

Feeling Good Inside and Out Activity

I’ll be back next Thursday. Enjoy your day! 

 

 

Captain Tom inspires a nation!

You may have seen Captain Tom Moore on the news in the past week or so. He has been walking to raise money for the NHS and has raised over 27 million! At almost 100 years old, he is an inspiration to many people and reminds us that we all can play our part in some small way.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52277760

I bet in 100 years of life,  Captain Tom has many stories to tell!

This week P5 – 7 children we are going to write to him to share our stories and ask about his!

Deans Den

Good morning all!! The sun is shining which always makes Mrs Morrison feel happy, hope you do too!! I hope you managed to log in to oxfordowl.co.uk and read the first story, ‘Fetch’. Did you enjoy it?? Maybe talk with a grown up and think of a different ending to the story. Draw your version and ask someone to help you write a sentence.

I have attached a link to a programme called ‘Numberblocks’ which will help us to name, recognise and form numbers correctly. It will also help develop understanding that numbers represent quantities. Watch the episode and afterwards you could draw one of something that is around your house, eg: one toy, one door, one chair. Have fun!!

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:

 

Jungle 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:

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/

If you click the Pink icon at the top right that says ‘My Class Login’ and enter Primary 3 Deans as the username and Mrs Hillan as the password then you can access these if you haven’t set up your own account.

 

Writing Task – see the task on the Blog from Miss Taylor for this week’s writing task on Lucy’s Lockdown

 

On Thursday and Friday you should hopefully see some tasks put on from Mrs Morrison and Mrs Lockart.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

22.4.20 Primary 1/2

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.

How to grow a carrot top

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.

carrot diary

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.

2 VH story for parents

‘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.

ee oo code breaker

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?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zhfjqp3

Drama

Today’s drama task is all about role play. Using what we have been learning about the Eatwell plate, can you make a restaurant menu and pretend to work there? Remember your menu needs to have well balanced foods and your customers must love your food!
