#Lesson Presentation Viking Life- after you read the PowerPoint, why not create a fact file, a poster, a diorama or a story based on what you learnt.
Personal Project
Looking forward to seeing all of you!
Good Morning Everyone!
Welcome back to the blog and I hope you enjoyed all the ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’ activities. Remember to keep working through your packs of home learning and using any of these activities to supplement your learning.
Reading
This week we have been reading ‘The Toys Party’ through oxford owls ebooks. You can access the story through this website – https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/
Our user name is deans12 and the password is mrsstevenson
With the help of an adult access the story and have another read through focusing on any words you found challenging previously.
You can either choose one of the activities from the guided reading grid or you can complete the activity below.
Jumbled sentences
Read the sentences below, they are all jumbled up. Can you put them back into the correct order so that the sentence makes sense? Remember the capital letter will go at the start and the full stop at the end.
I’ve included a link to a fun game ‘Viking Full Circle‘ to help you practise reading and spelling CVC words. You can choose any phase you feel comfortable with.
https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/viking/index.html
Phonics
Below is a game to help you revise the new sound /ch/ (the link is for ch despite it being labelled as /sh/ ). Remember the ch sound will go either at the start or the end of the word.
Digraph /sh/, Phonics game to practice the consonant digraph /sh/
I spy with my little eye…….
How many ch words can you find in the picture below? Write down as many as you can, listen really carefully to each sound in the word to help you with your spelling.
/ch/ handwriting
Today let’s have a go at trying to write the /ch/ sound using a join between the c and the h. Below is a little example for you to have a look at to help you practise.
This is how the join should look. Don’t forget to..
Don’t forget to self assess your work with ‘Green for Growth‘ and ‘Tickled Pink’.
Finally, I have added a game onto our home learning section of Educationcity called ‘Cheeping chicks‘ – have a go… can’t wait to see all your scores! Good Luck!
Numeracy
Daily Ten
Focus on ten less again. Below is the 100 square to help you.
Number talks
I thought I would give you a number talk challenge like we do in class. All you have to do is say/write how you ‘see’ the dots. There is an example for you to follow if you feel unsure. Remember there are lots of different ways to see the dots. Remember to use the + and = in the correct place and check your totals.
Health and Well being/Art and Design
We have been focusing on what makes a good friend, and to have good friends we’ve got to be a good friend. Today I want you to think of the most important quality to you in a friend. Maybe it is being kind, thoughtful or funny. I thought we could make a friendship flower picture. Ask an adult to help you make the word you choose using sticky tape (you will have to double it up to make it sticky on both sides). Below are some examples… I think this would be a great activity to get you outdoors and searching for different pretty and colourful flowers/grasses and then create a beautiful picture.
I would love to see anything you create so don’t forget you can send pictures onto me at the school email address.
wldeans-ps@westlothian.org.uk
Story Time
I’m enjoying finding stories online for us to share. Today I thought we could watch and listen to ‘The Very Quiet Cricket’ by Eric Carle so grab some milk or your water bottle and enjoy!
If you listen carefully when you are next outside on your walk you might even hear some crickets, chirruping in the grass. What other sounds can you hear? What sense are you using?
You could even have a go at drawing your own cricket..here is a tutorial below to guide you.
Good luck with all your home learning activities today. Mrs Lockhart will be taking over the blog tomorrow and I will see you back here on Monday for another week of learning. Have a great weekend!
Mrs Stevenson
Good Morning Everyone, I hope you enjoyed Wellness Wednesday!
I would just like to start off my saying I had the loveliest email on Tuesday from Sophie. Her mummy had sent a picture of her completing the number talks challenge. Well done Sophie and to all of you who managed to complete it. Thank you so much for sending the picture, it made my day. Some tasks for you try!

Have a great day everyone! I will be back tomorrow with some more learning activities!
Hello all!
Slightly different format again today. I suspect that I am going to change it again over the next few days.
Firstly thank you all for your very responsible use of teams yesterday.
Please use today to finish the work you have already been set, especially “Learning in P56”. Thomas and Ethan have already up-loaded theirs, but there are more things we have done. Some connected to “Oor Wullie”. Some independent. Try to think of all the different areas of the curriculum.
I have created a set of folders dedicated to Mrs Lockharts work. Go back through these, making sure you have done each one. I have added a new one.
Keep your personal projects going- you still have the folder to post them into.
“Covid Related Activities”: please read it and do.
Topic –Think about interesting ways to present stories. Please post any ideas you have so we can discuss them. What about making a film? Do you have Windows Media Player on your computer? If not please try to download and install it. Is there any other way we could film it? Could we use telephones? What apps could we use? I have created a dedicated folder for this work in “Files” as well.
Has anyone finished their work on measure yet? If not, finish money first and then move onto measure. I think all 4 parts of TJay 2a Chapter 13 (a,b,c and d) are useful. This will help support your work on decimals to 3 places.
| TJay 1b | TJay 2a | TJay 2b | |
| Money | Chapter 7 | Chapter 8 | Chapter 7 |
| Measure | Chapter 15 | Chapter 13a,b,c and d | Chapter 13 |
Education City: You all appear to still have quite a lot of unfinished activities so I will wait until I publish some more.
Logan S is growing vegetables as a health project. Ethan has also now started growing strawberries. Anyone else?
Keep your daily diary going, recording what you are doing, what exercise you do, what you eat and how you feel.
Continue to practise your French using the resources from the link below: https://powerlanguage.courses/forfamilies/french/
For those of you that have finished the above French resource here is another one for you: https://www.french-games.net/frenchtopics
Don’t forget to do the day’s activities on BBC “Bitesize”.
Exercise with Joe (or his girlfriend!?) https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/joinin/bp-joe-wicks-workout
Take care all of you.
Good Morning! Let’s get energized. Here is the link to the Joe Wicks workout : https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1 or if you prefer another work-out do that instead.
