Clyne Caterpillars

The caterpillars have now been visiting for 3 weeks. There hasn’t been much action for us to see this past week as they have been in their chrysalides but inside a magical transformation is taking place!   We are looking forward to seeing them hatch out as beautiful butterflies soon.

P2/1 Learning grids for Week beginning the 20th April 2020

Please find attached the weekly learning grid and activity sheets. The grid and activity sheets can be printed off if you wish or you can view them online and talk through the activity with an adult.  I would love to see evidence of your learning and welcome you to send your work, thoughts or photos to myself or through the school office  on wllivingstonvillage-ps@westlothian.org.uk.  Each week the learning grid will contain 4 literacy, 4 numeracy/maths and 4 topic tasks.  The expectation would be that children complete at least one task from each curricular area.

P1, P2/1, P2, Science WB 20.4.20

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you all had a relaxing Easter holiday and enjoyed spending time together with your families.

Our Science topic for this term is Minibeasts. Each week I will post your Science activities to your class teachers to be included with your weekly learning.

To get us started this week, there is a power point for you to explore and an activity sheet for you to complete titled ‘Minibeasts and Their Habitats’. I’ve also included an activity grid which is full of fun Minibeast activities for you to try at home!

There are a couple of videos for you to watch from the BBC Bitesize Science Clips series titled ‘What are Minibeasts?’ and ‘Magnificent Minibeasts’.

It would be lovely to see some examples of your learning in Science this term.

Enjoy your first week back and have fun!

P1 Weekly Learning 20.04.20

Good morning P1 families and welcome back!

I hope you have had a relaxing Easter break spending quality time together and are now ready to begin some formal learning again.  It might be nice to get back to some structure and routine, I know we are needing it in the Clyne household!

Please find attached the Weekly Learning Grid and relevant activity sheets.  These can be printed off if you wish but can also be used by viewing them on the screen and talking through the activity with an adult.  We would love to see evidence of your learning and welcome you to send the completed activity sheets, photos of your work or even just your thoughts to either individual teachers or through the school office on wllivingstonvillage-ps@westlothian.org.uk.

Each week we will post a Learning Grid containing 4 literacy, 4 numeracy/maths and 4 topic tasks.  The expectation would be that children complete at least one task from each curricular area.

Here is this week’s Learning Grid and everything you will need to help you with the activities:-

Numbertalks  – using addition strategies for doubles/ near doubles.

Example:  Which doubles/near-double strategies will you use to solve the following problem:  8+9   

a. 8+8 +1  (using this double decomposes 9 into 8+1)

b. 9+9-1    ( add an extra 1 and then subtract it from the total)

c. 10+10 -3  ( 8+2=10 , 9+1=10,  10+10= 20 –3 = 17 using this double requires the student to add 3 extra and then subtract the extra 3 from the total)

Doubles using basic facts up to 10 

3+3,  3+4, 3+2

3+3,  3+4,  3+2
