Here are Learning Grids for each Year Group that can be accessed if your child is self-isolating at home. These grids are not Homework grids but feature some activities and web pages linked to the learning of their class/stage. Please let us know if you need any resources.

Well Primary 2 can you believe that it is the last week of term?😮😮 When I next see you, you will all be in Primary 3. I hope you have a nice summer holiday with your families.
Last week we started to look at storied told to Jewish Children in their homes at family time. Last week we looked at the story of Abraham and today we are going to look at the start of the story of Joseph. Some of you might know a little bit about Joseph.
Step 1:-Â Watch the video clip of Joseph and his coat. Talk to someone in your house about what happened.
Joseph’s father gave him a beautiful coat of bright colours because he loved him the most. That made his brothers angry and jealous. The didn’t like Joseph. That wasn’t very nice of his dad to make him the favourite and only give him something special. I wouldn’t do that to my children!
Joseph had funny dreams and and in these dreams it seemed like he was going to rule over everyone else. This made his brothers even more angry.They thought, “Who does he think he is?” They decided to do something terrible!
They threw him in a pit and gave the coat to their father so that he would think that Joseph was dead. In fact they sold him to passing traders, as a slave. They weer very unkind to him. I hope none of you are unkind to your brothers and sisters.
Step 2:- Colour in the picture of Joseph in his bright coat, colour in the dreams and cut them out and stick them above his head. Have fun!😊

Bonjour! It has been a few week since we last looked at the weather. Can you remember how to say any of the different weathers in french? Have you been practising?
I think it would be a good idea to watch the video again that shows the French person saying all of the different weathers. This will remind you of the weathers and how to say them in french. Don’t worry if you can only remember a few!
Step 1:- Today we are going to look at a little quiz. Each slide will say , Quel temps fait- il? You have to try to say what the weather is. The next slide will tell you what the weather is. Have a try! Ask someone in your house to do it with you.
Step 2:- We are going to make some weather flashcards that you can use to play games. You can ask an adult to write the weather in english on the back of the card for you. You need to colour the pictures in and cut them out. someone in your house can ask you to find eg It’s windy or It’s sunny and you have to find the correct card. Don’t worry, the pictures will help you out.😉

Well Primary 3, this is the last RME lesson of the school year !😮😮 The next time I see you, you will be in Primary 4.
Can you remember what part of Shabbat we explored last week? We were using our senses and looking at some other features of Shabbat. What are our senses? Smell, sight hearing, taste and touch. We watched a video from BBC Bitesize about Shabbat in the synagogue. What things happened that we need to use our senses for?
Today we are going to be finding out what happens at the closing of Shabbat. Remember to keep thinking about your senses.
Step 1:-Â We are going to watch the BBC Bitesize video on the closing of Shabbat.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z2497ty
What senses were used?
Talk to someone in your house about what you noticed.
The picture shows the wine cup, spice box and Havdallah candle.
step 2:- We are going to finish off with a sequencing activity. We have been focusing on our senses but have learnt lots about Shabbat. To complete the activity you need to cut out the words and stick them under the correct picture. You then need to put the pictures in the correct order of how things happen during Shabbat. Whe you are finished you can colour in the pictures if you like.

Here is some information taken from https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/ on hedgehogs and hibernation.
Hedgehogs usually hibernate from October/November through to March/April. Research has shown that each individual is likely to move nesting sites at least once during this period and so can sometimes be seen out and about. During mild winters hedgehogs can remain active well into November and December.
While in hibernation the hedgehog’s fuel supply comes from the fat stores it has built up over the summer. Eating enough before hibernation is vital and this is when supplementary feeding can prove important to hedgehogs.
Any disturbance during this period can be extremely dangerous, as hedgehogs use up their precious energy reserves in order to become active again.
Of course when a hedgehog is in hibernation, it will be very still and usual signs of life such as breathing will be almost undetectable. If a hedgehog is in hibernation, it will be tucked away in it’s nest, curled up in a ball, and involuntary reactions will remain. By that we mean you could very gently touch the hedgehog’s spines and if it’s alive you’ll see a slight ripple of the skin and spines in response to this. If a hedgehog is out in the open and looks to be hibernating, it has either sadly died or it’s extremely unwell, in which case you can call BHPS for advice.
We hope this information helps should you see a hedgehog out and about during the winter.

Over the last two weeks our P4 – P7 hedgehog champions carried out a hedgehog survey to see whether we had any hedgehogs in the school grounds. They did this by setting up a tunnel that had some charcoal paste, white paper and a bit of dog food in it. The idea being that if a hedgehog walked through the tunnel across the charcoal, to get to the food, they would leave footprints.  We are very excited to say that we did find hedgehog footprints and by using a motion camera we managed to record footage of the hedgehog too.
Here are some top tips to encourage hedgehogs into our gardens.
