We just wanted to wish you all a lovely Easter holiday. It will be a very different holiday this time but I’m sure you will all find things to do in your houses or gardens with your family.
Stay safe and take care.
We will post another Homework Grid on Monday 20th April.

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well
Here are some suggested activities to give a try.
Sticky kids – Keep active with some sticky kids, a fun favourite in nursery. L.I I am enjoying daily opportunities to participate in different kinds of energetic play, both outdoors and indoors and I am developing my gross motor skills.
here are some links to some songs:

Funky Monkey – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9aBYLRhFW8
Stand Up, Sit Down – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9aBYLRhFW8
Science – Grow your own rainbow to display in your window to brighten up people’s days when they are out walking. L.I I am exploring everyday materials and experiencing how they can change.

Matching numbers or letters – you could try this indoors or outside with chalk on the ground or pens/pencils in the house. Draw out your child’s name or a number line and then make the corresponding letters/numbers on paper and cut out. Let your child match them up. L.I I can recognise letters in my name and/or numerals 0-10.
You could also try matching the numerals to the corresponding dots. L.I I can count using 1-1 correspondence.

Hope you all have a good day

Well done to anyone that completed the ‘Dab’ Challenge and congratulations if you were able to beat my score.
The next challenge is the ‘Touch your toes’ challenge from Throwing and Catching Grid 1 .
Good luck!
Mr. Millar
A big Hello to all our families, we are hoping that you are all well and keeping safe at home.
Some more idea’s to try with your little ones….
We’re going on a Bear Hunt
So many children in our Nursery know and love this story so why not change it into a game for your daily walks during social distancing. L.1. Moves at different speeds – slowly, steadily and quickly. Please put a teddy at your window for the local kids to spot whilst out on their walks. It will bring some excitement and happiness at this strange difficult time. You can share the story with your child or access online by clicking here. L.1. Engages with stories and texts in different ways.
There is a West Lothian Facebook page dedicated to this, where you can join and share your photos of your walks. Look it up and share with your friends. Find out more by clicking here.
If you have a printer at home why not print off this certificate to give to your child after your bear hunt. L.1. Celebrates, values and uses achievements to build next steps.
You can find the above certificate here.
You can continue the Bear theme by providing your child with a blanket, dishes and real food so they can invite their bears/cuddly toys to a teddy bears picnic!
L.1. Invents own stories and characters to share with others in play, imaginative and real contexts.
Encourage your child to practise their counting by playing ‘hide and seek’ with their bears/cuddly toys. You could hide their bears around the house or garden and ask your child to count forwards or backwards to a challenging number and then find all the bears. L.1. Recalls the number sequence forwards and backwards within the range 0-30.

Have fun and stay safe!

Hello everyone!
One of the tasks you all had on your science grids was to go outside when it was dark and see if you could spot any stars or planets. If you time it well then you can also see the International Space Station flying over your head. I was lucky enough to spot it on Saturday night at around 8:30pm. I managed to take a video to share with you all. See if you can spot it! There are still opportunities for you to spot it yourself too, check the website at spotthestation.nasa.gov to see times of when it will be passing over where you live.
Happy star gazing!

Ms Boyes, Mrs Forbes, Mrs Grieve and Mrs Murdoch all hope you are all trying hard with your learning and keeping busy. Here is your home learning grid for this week (30/3/20). You will already have a paper copy of this in your folder.
To help your reading, here are the first 30 tricky words.
You know some of these tricky words already, we wonder how many you will know when we see you next! We’ll add more after the break.
Good morning, here are the home learning grids for this week. If possible please check into our Class TEAM each day to the main ‘Posts’ page to read any messages from your teacher and find any additional challenges. You can also ask your teacher questions here. You can add work to your individual folder on TEAMS or use your jotter.

Hello P3/2C and P3R!
We wanted to let you all know we have been thinking of you and hope you and your families are all safe and well.
Well done if you have been managing to complete some of your tasks on your first week’s work grid.
You can see next week’s grid if you use the link below.
We know lots of you have been improving your maths skills on Sumdog and we have set a challenge for each class for the next week.
If you like books and reading try –
It’s great to have someone read a story aloud to you ..(we are missing that with you )……and you can read along with the subtitles. Try sharing a story with your family.
Other things that are help just now are making sure you are managing to get outside for a bit and keep doing some exercise, and offer to help around the house…that will bring a smile to someone’s face!
Please keep checking the blog for information and we will post again next week.
Take care and stay safe.
