Welcome to Learning at Home Week 9

I hope that you have all had a lovely weekend in the sunshine.

It’s hard to believe that we are now in June and haven’t been in our school building since March. For some of you it might be the case that Learning at Home is becoming harder even though you are more used to it by now. It might be hard to keep your motivation going, but it is really important to keep your brain cells active as much as you can. When you do some work that you are really proud of, or if you do an activity that you think other people would enjoy, please do send it to me and I can share it with everyone.

As always, here is the learning grid for Week 9 and all the other documents you might need.

P1 Sharing the learning 29.5.20

It has been a glorious week for weather and the P1s seem to have been making the most of it.  Having been out and about ourselves this week in the sun, we have also valued the time inside in the shade!

It has been great to see everybody and to catch up at a suitable social distance. We think you are doing an amazing job and are so impressed by the resilient attitude and the way we all find times of joy in this time of uncertainty.

Some of you have been happy to share your learning, whether it be through sit down learning or play learning:

P6 This week (29.5.20)

Super letter writing skills this week from our P6’s as well as acrostic poems about keyworkers. We have finished our learning about money, time and algebra. We are also coming to the climax of our novel ‘Millions’ and are desperate to find out what happens! The tension created in the last couple of chapters that  we read was intense.

In learning about our topic- natural disasters, we discovered the impact flooding can have on the environment and people.

We received our microbits from our teachers this week and are looking forward to getting coding with them.

P2/1 Home Learning Weekly Reflection Week Ending 29th May 2020

Good afternoon Primary 2/1. What a lovely week it has been. I hope you have been out enjoying the sunshine.  From the photos I have been sent and seen on Twitter there has been a variety of learning experiences taking place.  I have seen and heard of measuring out the size of a blue whale, writing acrostic poems about whales and spring, sorting heavy and light objects, sorting shapes, building with Lego, walks by the river and even baking cakes.

P1’s Literacy learning has been focused around the ‘ow’ sound and the tricky word ‘who’. For literacy we have been writing our spelling words three times, reading the story of The fox and the owl, finding the ‘ow’ words in the story, making a hopscotch board then hopping our words and playing‘ow’ words snakes and ladders.

 

In Numeracy and Maths the focus for this week was on measuring weight using nonstandard units. We found objects around the house, weighed them using our hands pretending we were a pan balance, drew the objects in the correct column (heavy or light) and played the game what is the heaviest/lightest? We also carried out the experiment the magic falling orange and learned about inertia.

P2’s focus in Literacy this week has been on the ‘o-e’ spelling pattern, writing a spring acrostic poem, looking at adverbs, identifying adverbs in sentences and talking about our favourite character from a book we have read.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus this week was on 2D and 3D shapes and patterns involving shapes. We sorted 2D shapes and 3D shapes using different criteria, labelled and named 2D and 3D shapes, created different patterns using shapes and played guess the shape games. For guess the shapes games we had to know about the properties of each shape.

This week we have enjoyed learning about whales as part of our Under the Sea topic. We have been writing acrostic poems about whales, carrying out an experiment to help us learn about how a whale eats and measuring the size of a grey and blue whale. We can’t get over how large a blue whale is!

For science this week we have been exploring the life cycle of a butterfly.

Here are a selection of photos of the learning this week.

    

Have a lovely weekend.

P3 Friday 29.05.2020

Good morning Primary 3,

It is Friday today! The First Minister has changed lock down rules a little as of today. You may now visit family or close friends, no more than eight people at a time, whilst maintaining a two metre distance outside. The weather is to continue to be sunny and warm this weekend and I am sure many of you (as will I!) be meeting up with those people we have not seen for over two months, such as grandparents etc. I hope you will be enjoying the lovely weather and having barbecues in gardens and fun in the sun with your loved ones.

Today I will not be setting you a Maths task, I would like you to write a letter to each person you will be meeting up with in the next little while, explaining how you feel about them and why you have missed them. Take a photo with flat Mrs Love, send it to me via email or Twitter and then when you meet up with your loved ones it will be a lovely gift to give them to show them how much they mean to you.

Here is a template I have created for you to use with some sentence starters or you could use this as an example to create your own. You are welcome to colour in and draw lovely pictures on the letter before giving them to loved ones.

Lockdown letter

If you do not have plans for meeting family. Use the template for an example and write your own thank you letter to someone who has been looking after you over the past few months, explaining why you are thanking them.

Remember to send me photos over, I can’t wait to see your lovely letters!

Enjoy,

Mrs Love

Good morning P3.

I hope you had a good day yesterday. I was sad that the Space X rocket launch was postponed due to bad weather in Florida. The good news is that it will now hopefully launch on Saturday around the same time. Remember to follow the link on previous post to watch the launch live from the NASA website.

Today’s Maths work is more on position and movement and using grids. Here is the worksheet:

Here is the answers to compare work against:

Have a wonderful day,
