Good Morning Primary 1/2 29.4.20

Good Morning Boys and Girls!

Happy Wednesday everyone, I hope you are ready for another day of home learning fun!

Let’s jump right in with some……

Reading/writing

Have another go at reading ‘Mix, Mix, Mix’ on the Oxford Owls ebooks page. I want you to have a think today about what you would put in your potion to mix, mix, mix! Share this with an adult and you could even make it! I have attached below a template for writing out your very own magic potion. Use page 1 if you have a printer or you can make up your own in your purple jotters.

Magic Potion template

If you are having a go at this activity remember to use those ordering words that we used for writing instructions previously.

Success criteria

I can first, next and last to order my ideas.

I can use a capital letter, full stop and finger spaces.

I can sound out words I am unsure of.

Phonics/handwriting

This week we have been working on learning all about the ‘w’ sound. (a big thanks to those who sent me some ‘w’ pictures yesterday – great work!)

Today I would like you to have a go at practising writing the letter. In your packs is a picture of 3 witches. The idea is to follow the pattern of the 3 witches hats to make the shape of the letter. There are a few worksheets within the pack to help you practise. In case you haven’t got your pack yet I have attached a practise sheet below.

w handwriting sheet

Don’t forget to tinkle pink and green for growth your work, use a sharp pencil and ensure your letters sit on the line.

This is a great website to explore if you are having some difficulty remember the correct formation of each letter.

Literacy

Numeracy and Maths

I thought we could have a go at subitising again today. Get your shouty voices (or pencils) ready to say how many dots are in the ten frame, remember you only have 3 seconds and the aim is to recognise how many without counting!

Daily 10.

Instead of me giving you your daily 10 today, visit this website…

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Choose level one, addition, numbers up to 10.

Look at the example below. The starting number is 3, so how many more do you add on to make 5?

Using a number line is an easy way to find the solution, put your finger on 3 and count on until you reach 5, how many jumps did you make with your finger? Or you could use counters (or anything around your house) start with 3 then make 5, how many did you have to add? Have a go, there are 10 questions, I suggest putting the timer on manual until you have got the hang of it. Then you can challenge yourself.

Money

How did everyone get on with making their own shops yesterday. I’d love to see some pictures if you have them?

Today why not practise making totals in your shop? Invite someone to visit your shop and you can add up what they spend.

Below is a link to a great game to help you add up coins.

Start by choosing ‘one coin’ and begin to practise using 1p’s to add up totals.

Health and Wellbeing

Did you manage to figure out the 3 key messages from the road safety clip yesterday. STOP, LOOK and LISTEN. Well done if you got them right.

Why not design a poster displaying those key messages. Here are some pictures for inspiration.

Good luck with all of your learning tasks for today. I look forward to seeing all of your super work. I will be back tomorrow with some more ideas for home learning. Enjoy the rest of your day and if you are out for a walk don’t forget to stop, look and listen!

Before Break

Bonjour. Today we are going to be working out the average speed of a journey. If you look in the folder for today / blog, you will find your work.

Like the last two days, you have to carefully read and understand the instructions / examples to be able to use the formula accurately. For Q. 9 you can use a calculator but still show some kind or working. If you don’t have a calculator just leave it out. Take your time especially with Q.11 as it is a problem solving questions. Read it carefully.

L.I. – to calculate the average speed of a journey

S.C. – I can use the formula accurately

I can show my working out

Read over my instructions
Read over the instructions / example in the folder/blog.
Start if you understand
Read again if you don’t and I’ll be back in 10 minutes.

The Definition of Mindfulness

What is mindfulness, and why is it important?

Mindfulness is about focusing on the present, and being aware of what is going on both inside and outside, in a non-judgmental way. It’s about noticing physical sensations and emotional responses, as well as your connection to other people and to your surroundings. (first discovers)

Mindfulness is a tool we promote in school as it has many benefits described below.

It helps to increase attention span

It helps you understand and regulate your emotions

It helps with stress management and general wellbeing

It helps you become more aware of your body and your senses

It helps to develop empathy and compassion for others.

A few activities for you try at home.

Have a great day. I will post more activities tomorrow.

Primary 2 – Wednesday 29th April 2020

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all ready for another day of fun learning activities!

Writing

I began writing a story yesterday and got stuck with the ending – I am hoping you can all help me finish it off! The last part I wrote was:

“The spaceship crashed. When the doors opened…”

Can you help me finish the story? I am looking for 3 or more sentences with lots of adjectives to describe the setting and characters. I would also like capital letters, full stops, and finger spaces as all these things help to make a fantastic story. I can’t wait to see how you finish off my story!

If you would like some help with adjectives, follow this link which gives you some more information: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zd372sg

Numeracy

We are going to practise doubles and near doubles for the rest of this week. First, it would be great if you could watch the doubles song to refresh your memory.

Once you have watched the doubles song, answer these questions in your jotter:

9 + 9
6 + 6
2 + 2
8 + 8
12 + 12

What strategies are you using to work out the answers to the questions? Can you find the most efficient strategy?

Yoga

As times are manic just now it can be good to stop and take part in some exercise and mindfulness. Below I have attached the link for a yoga session to help stretch out your body and give you a brain break. I’m sure Mrs Anderson would love to know that you have been doing some yoga! Try this out to see if it helps:
