Special Activity
As we have been looking at weather around the world in your learning packs this week, let’s complete an activity all about a country of your choice. I would like you to choose any country in the world that you would love to visit. You should research at least 5 facts about this country and then create an information leaflet about it – just like we did with our castle leaflets! Here are some facts you may want to research:
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 and listen to some classical music to inspire us!
2D & 3D shape
Now to continue our shape work. We have been looking at 2D shapes (they are the flat shapes) and everyday 3D shapes (they are the solid shapes).
Let’s remind ourselves about shapes by looking at the following powerpoint.
Spot as many 3D shapes from around the house as you can find, label them with their shape name and take a photograph. Send it into school using our email. It will be interesting to see all the different 3D objects.
R.E
Let’s remind ourselves about Christian artifacts. That is objects you would find in a church. Look at the following powerpoint about some things you would find in a church. You will need a little help to read all the text.
Choose three of your favourite items and draw them. Remember to name the items. Explain what they are and what they are used for to a member of your family.
Story time
Here is another one of my favourite stories to finish up with.
Chat will go back on about 10:00 am.-Why not work outside in the shade?
After Break
Maths – Money
Revise coins and notes and how to solve money problems using this video : https://corbettmathsprimary.com/2018/07/24/money-video/ If you cannot use the formal methods they demonstrate remember you can always use number lines as jottings to help with calculations. It is a long video (11 minutes) so if you would like to stop after about 7 minutes, for example, that is fine. Then practise these skills by choosing one of these :
We have been learning about resilience. Today we move onto E is for exercise -read the document which will give you some ideas for this afternoon, after we finish on TEAMS!
Personal Project
If you have not told me yet what you would like to research please let me know. Use the time up until 12pm (Friendship Time) to start your research and make notes in your own words, in your jotter. You can use reference books, for example, encyclopedias and atlases, the internet, newspapers and magazines or personal interviews. If you need any help or if you are unsure if the topic you have chosen is unsuitable let me know. Good luck!
Good morning boys and girls, I hope you all enjoyed yesterday’s Wellbeing Wednesday activities and managed to spend some time outside in the sunshine. Keep working through your home learning packs and here are some additional activities for today.
Before we start… remember this…have a little dance to start off your day the right way!
Reading
This week we are reading ‘Everyone Got Wet‘ on the Oxford owls website – https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/ username deans12password mrsstevenson
Re read the book again with the help of an adult and you can choose either another activity from your home learning guided reading grid or you can choose to complete the activity below.
This is a great activity for those of you who like to draw. I would like you to have another go at creating a story map for Everyone Got Wet. Once you have re read the story, think about the main events which happened. Now draw them out in order. We have completed an activity like this before for Little Red Riding Hood, in class. Here is a story map for the story of The Gruffalo, for some inspiration.
I hope you enjoy this activity, remember to colour in your pictures and you can use your finished picture to help you retell the story in your own words. Have a go at reading it out to an adult.
Finally, I have added a game called ‘Kuko Run‘ to our class home learning section of Education city. You have to read the sentence and find the missing word. Good luck.
Phonics
This week we introduced the new sound th. It can be a bit of a tricky one and you have to think carefully about where the sound is coming from. Watch the following clip to help you recall this sound and use it to make some words.
Next, have a go at putting these words into the correct order to make the sentence make sense. First read all the words and think what the sentence should say. Use the words to write out your sentence. Always read over your sentence when you have finished to check it makes sense.

Finally, I have added another game to Educationcity called ‘Three Paths‘ to help you practise reading and recognising this new sound.

Number talks
We looked at using a rekenrek on Tuesday. Here is another game to play using a rekenrek. Can you say what number is being shown on the rekenrek without counting? You can either write it down or shout it out!
Dot patterns – here are today’s dot patterns. Just like we have worked on in class through our number talks. How do you see the dots? How many ways can you write a calculation to go with the dot patterns. Don’t forget to use the – += in the correct place.
Story Time/Art
Grab a drink of milk or your water bottle and let’s pretend we’re in class. I’m really enjoying stories by the author Eric Carle, I especially love all the illustrations. Here is another of my favourites.
The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle
In this story the little seed travels through all the seasons. Can you design a seasons poster showing what happens in each season? Here are a few ideas which I love, but you can come up with your own!
I hope you have enjoyed all of this week’s learning tasks. Remember you can email any photos of work you have done into the school – wldeans-ps@westlothian.org.uk
Mrs Lockhart will be here tomorrow posting some more activities for you and I will be back on Monday. Have an amazing weekend and stay safe in the sun!
Good Morning!! I hope you are all safe and well and enjoying the beautiful weather. Have you remembered some of the sun safety rules? I think whilst the weather is good, we should continue to explore the outdoors. Mrs Morrison has been busy planting flowers in her garden!! I have attached instructions on how to make a twig necklace, ask your grown up to help you.
