Good Morning Primary 1/2

Good Morning Everybody – I hope you all have had a restful and relaxing weekend and are ready for another week of some fun home learning tasks.

This week you should be moving onto week 2 of your home learning packs, but like last week I will be posting additional activities here for you to try.

We would normally have our Big Monday morning check in, instead why don’t you tell an adult about how you are feeling today and what did you enjoy doing over your weekend. If you have any older relatives or friends could you share this with them over the phone? Or perhaps you could draw a picture of one thing you did over the weekend and write a sentence to explain your picture. This could be added to your purple jotters. Don’t forget all the writing targets… Can you share them with an adult?

Here are some ideas for activities today.

Reading.

Choose one of the books from your pack. Is it Fiction or non-fiction. Can you tell an adult what the difference is? Once you have read your book, design an alternative front cover. Don’t forget to include the author, illustrator and the title of the book.

As an additional task, go on a book hunt around your house. Choose at least 10 books and sort them into fiction and non fiction. Can you explain to an adult why you have sorted each book into each category? Here is a little song for you to listen to, to help you remember the difference between fiction and non-fiction.

I am missing reading aloud to you all during our milk and story time.  I found this super website with a huge selection of some of our favourite read aloud books. If you copy the address below into the search bar you will be able to choose your favourite story and have it read aloud to you by an adult. Grab some milk or water and enjoy!

Numeracy/Maths

Don’t forget to get an adult to give you 5 daily calculations to solve using the tools we have been learning about in class. Remember don’t get tricked out by the symbol!

Here are my five for today.. complete them in your purple jotter..don’t forget to date your work!!

10 – 2 =               3 + 7 =                6 – 4  =

5 + 4 =                 6 – 0 =

One of the tasks in your home learning pack this week is all about shape. If you could complete the activity here is a little fun follow up task.

This time I am challenging you to go on a shape hunt around your house. What shapes can you find. Draw around objects, eg a DVD for a circle or a book for a rectangle etc. Cut them out and decorate them. Create your own shape picture or if you have a printer get an adult to print the sheet below for you to fill in. Add some colour to your pictures too.

Health and Wellbeing

This term we are learning all about keeping ourselves healthy.  Today I would like us to focus on household products, including medicines and how they can be harmful to us if not stored and used in the proper way.

To get started there is a game on Education city called Baby Jack, this will help you get an idea about which types of foods and medicines can be helpful or harmful – have a go and see how many you can get right. I will add this game to our Home learning section on the website.

Take a look at these 2 set of pictures below…

Sort the pictures of household items/ products into the rooms where they would be found, either kitchen or bathroom; then each pair takes, for instance, the kitchen pictures and sorts those into items safe for them to use/not safe for them to use.
Can you share with an adult reasons why some items are safe/unsafe for you to use.

I hope everybody has a great day and remember to spend some time outside seeing the sunshine has made an appearance at last. Speak with you all tomorrow.

PS.Who joined in with Joe and his workout this morning? Here is the link in case you missed it!

 

 

Good Morning Primary 1/2

Good morning everybody.

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

 

After hearing so much about Joe Wicks and his workouts, I thought I would have a go this morning. It was great and really got my heart pumping and even worked up a sweat!

Here is the link, why don’t you persuade whoever is in your household to join in with you and get moving. It really is a great way to start the day and get a little bit of exercise.  I certainly will be making this part of my morning routine.

Another idea for something to add into your daily routine is completing our class date chart each morning to keep track of the date, days and the weather. Here is the link for this activity.

Mrs Anderson would normally be taking the class this morning but instead she has sent us all a 30 day Mindfulness Challenge. There are lots of ideas for you to work through at home to help you feel calm and relaxed. Start today……

Mrs Anderson’s yoga website has lots of fun activities and one I would recommend is the sleepy bedtime yoga. Check it out before bedtime.

I hope everybody had a go at some of the new sound tasks yesterday. Today  we should have a practise at writing the sound. I know how amazing you all were at joining oo, ee and ai, this is the same idea. You keep your pencil on the paper until you finish. You can use your purple jotters to have a go…. don’t forget to green for growth and tickle pink when you have finished…you could even draw your own traffic light too!

I bet you could all easily share the success criteria for our handwriting lessons with an adult… have a go!

  • sharp pencil
  • Letters on the line
  • letters the right size
  • Keep your pencil on the paper until you have finished
  • Take your time

How many did you remember?

Here is a visual to help you below, again you can print this or just display it on your screen, ai is included too so have a go at that one also as a little recap.

oa and ai letter formation

Once you have had a practise see how many oa words you can write in your jotters, not forgetting the join. You could even draw a detailed picture to go with each of your words. For those of you who are feeling confident, write a silly sentence with as many oa words as you can fit in. Remember the sillier the better.  This is my silly sentence, you can use this if you can’t think of your own.

‘The toad went to the shop to get a loaf and some soap.’

Numeracy

One of your tasks in the pack was focusing on learning the number bonds for 10.

Could you get an adult to test you as part of your daily 5 task?

Here is a song to help you remember..

Here is a little follow up task..

Making 10 .

There is a ten frame at the top to help you.  You could either print the sheet off or simply display it on your screen to fill in the answers in your purple jotters. Good luck!

Have a great day everybody. Mrs Lockhart will be adding to our blog tomorrow but I will pop on and say hello at some point.

Remember you can log onto Educationcity (passwords/usernames in jotters) to have a go at some of the activities..

‘Goat Load’  –  oa sound

‘Addition Impossible’ and  ‘Hustle and Bustle’ for number bonds to 10.

Primary 2/1 Sharing the Learning

We have had yet another busy week in Primary 2/1 with one of our main highlights being our sharing the learning afternoon on Tuesday.

Prior to Tuesday we had a surprise in the story corner on Monday…. 3 bowls of porridge and 3 little bears! We think the dragon was telling us that he wanted us to read the fairytale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, which we did! We then tried our hand at making our own story map, this is where you retell the story but instead of using words you draw pictures. They were really successful and helped us improve our retelling and sequencing skills at the same time.

Elkie really liked this activity because it helped her to improve her drawings.

  

 

On Tuesday afternoon we welcomed parents and carers into our classroom to share some of the fantastic learning which has been taking place. We had a ‘Goldilocks’ theme for the afternoon with a main focus on literacy based activities. These are some of the activities we had in place.

Word building using the magnetic boards and CVC cards, a Goldilocks story sequencing, Goldilocks free writing with story  mats, Story telling with our puppet theatre and props, word splat and the chance to share a fairytale with your adult using our  word pointers to find some tricky words.

Euan enjoyed using the puppets to put on a show for his mum and gran, he even acted out the story of Jack and the Beanstalk too.

Nathan enjoyed making a bear face with his mum and sharing with her.

Andrew loved adding all the details onto his bears face.

Ashley enjoyed making the porridge bowls using patterns with her mum and gran.

It was a successful afternoon and we loved showing everyone around our classroom and having the opportunity to talk about our learning and even help create our Goldilocks display. A huge big thank you to everyone who attended, we very much value your support and encouragement and thoroughly enjoyed having you all in our class.

 

Here is our finished Goldilocks display…. we think it is super and love the fact that our parents and carers helped us create it.

On Wednesday we had a go at writing letters to the three bears from Goldilocks to say sorry for all of the chaos she caused in their cottage.  We are getting very good at reflecting on our learning at the moment. We are using green for growth (for something we could improve on) and tickled pink (for something we did well). This is helping us to identify our own next steps in our learning.

In numeracy, we are still focusing on Subtraction and applying the tools to help us answer calculations. This week saw us focus on word problems, where Mrs Stevenson would read out a problem and our task was to write down the calculation to find the solution.  We are getting very confident at this and have enjoyed leading our learning by making up our own word problems for our friends to solve.

In PE we are still working on developing our football skills. This week we played body ball where we took our ball for a walk by passing it carefully from one foot to the other and when a body part was called our we had to place that part on the ball, it was tricky getting into some of the positions especially for ‘back’ ball! We have been improving our ability to dribble and pass the ball with control and co-ordination, so this week we put this to the test with a simple game. We got into groups of 3 and made a triangle shape and passed the ball to our partners. We had to pay attention and make sure we could stop the ball with our feet only..no hands allowed and then pass the ball to our other partner with control and accuracy.
