Coding at Home

The Raspberry Pi Foundation have launched a new, free Digital Making at Home initiative to support parents and young people with coding at home. You don’t need any coding experience to join in, and all of their resources and activities are free forever.

Every Monday, they release new themed code-along videos about projects designed for all levels of ability. They also provide support tutorials for parents who are interested in learning more about coding tools like Scratch and Python, and over 200 projects with step-by-step instructions that are accessible online at any time — all for free.

P1, 2/1, P2 Science Home Learning WB 4.5.20

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all well and had a lovely weekend. Thank you again for all the wonderful photos and videos you sent last week.

Once again I have sent your Science home learning tasks to your class teachers. This week we will be finding out about the different body parts of insects! What are the parts that make up an insect? What job does each part do? Read the power point titled ‘Insects and Bugs!’ and use this to help you complete the activity sheet where you have to label the different parts of an insect. If you are able to write a few sentences too, that would be great!

Just to remind you there are also lots of activities on the mini beasts home learning grid I sent you.

Have a great week!

P2/1 Home Learning Reflection W/E Friday 1st May 2020

Good afternoon Primary 2/1. Here we are at the end of another week.  Thank you again to the boys and girls who have shared their learning with me through photos or videos in emails from your parents.  You have certainly been busy bees this week.

P1’s Literacy learning has been focused around the ‘er’ sound and the tricky word ‘two’. For literacy we have been creating spelling flowers, made our own word searches playing roll and read or the ‘er’ words matching game. We have got a colourful spelling garden now.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus for this week was money again. We made coin rubbings, watched Elmo videos, played Kim’s game or were identifying change from 20p. I have received some lovely colourful coin rubbings. We also took part in a Sumdog challenge.

P2’s focus in Literacy this week has been on the ‘ea’ spelling pattern, going on a noun hunt, exploring EPIC!, reading books for enjoyment or writing a spring adventure story. In Numeracy and Maths the focus this week was again on fractions and finding halves and quarters of amounts. We had to sort halves and quarters into a table and put ingredients on a pizza. We also took part in a class Sumdog challenge on money.

This week when exploring under the sea, the children have written letters or phoned their friends or family to let them know they were successful in their application to be a marine biologist. Some children have been making their own Scuba diving costume or making sea creature masks.

In Science, we have been exploring minibeasts and this week we played what minibeast am I game and classified minibeasts.

Just a wee reminder that Monday and Tuesday are holidays for the children. Have a lovely long weekend and here are a few photos of the learning that has been taken place.
