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:-

Each week Miss Whigham will also be including some separate tasks for science which we hope you enjoy!  This week we are introducing the topic of Minibeasts.

We hope you have a good week and please get in touch if you have any questions.  Parents will receive a letter tomorrow with teacher’s individual email addresses if you prefer to contact us directly.

As always, thank you for your continued support in your child’s learning.

Welcome Back P4!

I hope you have all had a lovely holiday. Even though we were not able to do all the things we usually do, I hope you were able to take advantage of some of the sunny weather to do your daily exercise with your family.

I am still putting together plans for the week ahead, but here is a plan for Monday 20th April and the documents you will need.

STEAM Activities

Anyone missing STEAM?  Anyone not sure what STEAM is?  Mr Keast has compiled a list of websites where you can take part in games, join in activities (both online and offline) and carry out investigations. Some sites use Flash so using laptops or netbooks is best.

Check out the attached file with the website addresses if you’d like to find out more.

P4 Weekly Reading Activities

Good afternoon everyone! Thank you for hanging on in there as we all try to adjust to our new way of living and learning. I know that for me it feels as if every time I get used to something new, I end up finding another 2 things that I still have to learn about. Well done for all the resourceful ways you are finding to show me your learning.

I have set all these reading activities as Assignments in Teams, but I know that sometimes it is easier to access files on here. You only do the activity that is for your reading group.
