Harrysmuir Primary Home Learning Hub

Good morning Primary 2! Well we are into the last few weeks of term and I can’t believe the school year is almost over.  You are nearly Primary 3!😮😮

Last week we were looking at Shabbat(the Jewish day of rest).  This week we are going to be learning about Pesach (Passover) another Jewish celebration and look at how families celebrate this at home.

Step1 :- We are going to watch the BBC Bitesize clip – KS1 the story of Passover.  This will show you what a family does and through the Passover story, why they do this.

Talk to someone in your house about the video.

Step 2:-  We are going to have a look at a document that tells us all about the Seder Plate.  We will learn in more detail about what is on it and what it means.

Step 3:- Lastly we have a cut and stick activity to complete.  You have a picture of a seder plate and pictures of the things that go on it.  You need to colour them, cut them out and stick them on the correct place on the plate.  If you aren’t printing your sheet, you can draw the items on some paper and write what they are next to them . If you have any paper plates in your house you could even draw the things onto that.

Good Morning! Can you believe that we only have 3 weeks left of school and you are nearly Primary 4!!😮😮 It has been a while since I’ve seen you and I’m so looking forward to seeing your smiling faces again.😊😊

Today we are learning to develop an understanding of some of the Jewish Customs on Shabbat and we are focusing on what senses are used during Shabbat.

What are our senses? Smell, sight hearing, taste and touch. When we are learning about Shabbat today we are going to think about times we need to use our senses and which senses we use. We are going to be learning a bit about the Jewish customs that happen on Shabbat .  Does anyone know what Shabbat is? God made the world in 6 days and he had a rest on the 7^th day.(Jewish People call this Shabbat)

It begins on sunset on a Friday and ends at nightfall on a Saturday.  We are going to be watching some video clips about what happens in Shabbat and we are going to be thinking about what things we use our senses for.

Step 1 :-   We are going to watch the BBC Bitesize clip of celebrating Shabbat at home. What things happen that we need to use our senses for? Remember to talk to someone in your house about it if you can,

What senses did you see being used? I saw hearing, taste and sight.

• Hearing – listening to blessings being made.
• Tasting – wine or grape juice from the kiddush cup.
• Tasting – Challah bread(sweet, almost like a cake)
• Sight – watching the Shabbat candles being lit.

Step 2:- You have a picture showing a family having a Shabbat meal. You  should write hear, taste, smell, see beside the features in the picture that you may recognise from the Shabbat video clip.  You can then colour the picture.

Good morning girls and boys!  I know it has been a long time since we have all seen each other, but please don’t forget that lots of people in our school care about you.  Today we are going to be thinking about just that! Who are the people who care about you and help you in school?

Step 1:- Take a few minutes to think about this and talk to someone in your house about it.  Try to write down who the people are. I wonder if you managed to remember them all. I thought of :-

1. The Class Teachers
2. The Managment team(Head teacher, Depute head and Principal teachers)
3. RME, Music, PE, Dance and drama teachers
4. Support Assistants
5. Office Staff
6. Janitor
7. Cleaners
8. Kitchen Staff
9. Older Children

Did you think of any one else?

Step 2:- Now have a think about what they do for you?  Talk to someone in your house about this. eg. Miss Anderson(Support assistant)- helps with my reading, looks after me in the playground, helps me in the dinner hall and takes care of me if I fall in the playground.

Step 3:- Look at the attached sheet.  Choose 4 different people in the school who help you and draw them in the boxes.  Write underneath them who they are.  If you want to work even harder you could also write what they do for you.  If you don’t have a printed sheet you can draw and write about the people on a piece of paper.

Step 4:-  Lastly just have a wee think about what you could do to help any of them.
