Good morning P3/2C and P3R,
Here is your week 4 home learning grid with lots of new activities.
Hope you are all well and staying safe with families.
Miss Cameron and Mrs Robertson
Good morning,
Today is the start of our Athletics block in PE. Over the next 5 weeks, we will be practising different events for our Sports Day which will be held during the first week in June. Even if we aren’t back in school for that week, we will have a Virtual Sports Day! More information about Sports Day will be released closer to June.
This week’s Athletics is all based on the Long Jump. This worksheet has the key points for a successful long jump, a link to a long jump video and 6 activities to develop your strength and jumping. Make sure that you don’t just try everything once, spend time practising each day so that you are ready for Sports Day.
Remember to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.
Here are some ideas to keep you active.
Remember at least 60 minutes of activity a day!

You are doing an awesome job in PE. Keep it going!

Hello P1! We hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the super weather. There are lots of signs of Spring now. Have you spotted any blossom or lambs? Ms Boyes took this picture on one of her daily walks. Do you know what these flowers are called?
Here is a new Grid for this week:
Parents, there are two sounds to learn included in our new grid. Booklets for the sounds are found below. If you don’t have a printer, don’t worry, you can just look at the pages with your child, or, you could help them copy some activities into their jotters.
Finally, we have a new special square on our grid called ‘Amazing Activities!’. Is there an activity you have particularly enjoyed or are really proud of? Did you do it by yourself or with your family? If you’d like to share it with us, please email a photo, marked for the attention of your teacher to: wleastcalder-ps@westlothian.org.uk We would love to see your Amazing Activity!
Ms Boyes, Mrs Forbes, Mrs Grieve and Mrs Murdoch
Good Morning, hope you are all well 🙂
Here are some suggested activities to give a try.
Baking – Why not try making some delicious flapjacks – Click Here for the Recipe. L.I I am able to follow a recipe and use scales to measure out ingredients.
Float and sink – Do you know what floats and sinks and why? Find items in the house with an adult e.g. cutlery, toys (non-electrical/without batteries), fruit/veg, or natural items when out a walk e.g. flowers, pinecones, sticks and stones. See what floats and what sinks. Discuss why you think this happens L.I I have experimented with everyday items as units of measure to investigate and compare sizes and amounts in my environment, sharing my findings with others.
Arts and Crafts – As it was Earth Day yesterday why not try making a picture of Earth using shaving foam. Click Here for instructions L.I I have the freedom to discover and choose ways to create images and objects using a variety of materials.
Scrap book – Since we are unable to spend time with family and friends just now, why not look at photographs, talk about them and make a scrap book. You could stick pictures into your book of friends, family and happy times on days out or holidays and write when it was, who’s in the picture, what you were doing and decorate each page how you would like. L.I I am developing my fine motor skills. I am able to share my thoughts and feelings with others.

Have fun and stay safe.

Good morning everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely Easter holiday with your family doing lots of fun activities.
Today is a very special day in the calendar called ‘Earth Day’. This year is even more special as it is the 50th anniversary. Below are some links for fun and interactive resources to give you more information about Earth Day. Have fun doing some of these activities.
Missing you all,
Miss Walkingshaw
Welcome back, we hope you all had a relaxing break over Easter.
We have enjoyed reading your posts on the home learning section of your child’s learning journals, thank you so much for keeping in touch. Sharing your news and photo’s have helped to lift our spirits as we continue to miss all of our little friends. We really appreciate the time you have taken to do this. Please continue and if you haven’t managed to log on yet, instructions have been posted onto each child’s learning journal to make this easier for families. Say Hi, we would love to hear from you and we will reply back to all posts.
If you are looking for some new idea’s to try at home this week, please give these a try………..
Star Gazing – wrap up warm and enjoy a hot chocolate with marshmallows whilst sharing family time star gazing at night with Elon Musks satellite. Find out more information by clicking here.
This week you can also see the Lyrid meteor shower which happens this time every year. Its said to peak tonight and if your lucky you could see between 10-15 meteors an hour! L.1. I have experienced the wonder of looking at the vastness of the sky, and can recognise the sun, moon and stars and link them to daily patterns of life.
We would love to hear about any star gazing finds!
Stone Matching Game – Find a selection of different sized stones during a local walk and use them to trace around, ask your child to match the correct stone to the tracing. Support your child with movement language to help them learn and understand position and direction including in front, above, below, left, right, forwards and backwards, this helps to challenge your child further. L.1. I can collect objects and ask questions to gather information, organising and displaying my findings in different ways
Painting Stones – If you have paint or felt tip pens at home, why not continue the play with stones and allow your child to decorate them. When they are finished your child can have fun hiding them in the local community for another child to find. This great idea has been shared on Home Learning in our Learning Journals, so we know there are already some stones hidden waiting to be found in East Calder. Have fun painting, hunting or both. L.1. I can create a range of visual information through observing and recording from my experiences across the curriculum.
Enjoy and most of all have fun and please remember you can access more learning and play idea’s from blogs.scotland.org.uk/wl/snonursery

Hello everyone, I hope you had a fun and active Easter holiday. This week in PE we are going to be improving our balance and control. This balance and control work grid has different tasks that will test and improve your ability to balance when you are standing and when you are moving. By the end of this week, you should have completed at least one full stage from the grid so make sure you practise every day.
Here are some things to remember when you are practising.
Balance is important for all sports. Think about how balance is important for a sport that you like to play. You could draw a picture, make a poster, make a list or tell a family member why balance is important for that sport.
It is also important to make sure that you are active every day. At least 60 minutes a day!
Here are some ideas to keep you active.
Remember at least 60 minutes of activity a day!
If you would like to complete the throwing and catching videos just click on the links below.
Let’s have another active week!
