Ladybird Doubles to 10  Ladybird Doubles to 20

Good afternoon everyone,

We hope you have had a lovely morning and perhaps managed to get out into the sunshine to create a symmetrical picture. Send us a photo if you would like us to have a look at yours!

Did you know that the spots on a ladybird’s wings are symmetrical, though a ladybird can have an “odd” spot which actually spans both wings?

You can find out more facts about ladybirds on this website if you are interested: http://www.storybug.net/kids.html

I have attached two challenges for you to explore if it fits into your routine sometime this week – count the spots on one side of each ladybird on the sheet, tell an adult how many you think will be on the other side and see if you can work out how many spots each ladybird will have altogether.

Remember that ladybird spots are symmetrical and use what you know about doubles to help you!

Please don’t feel you need to print this sheet off – it can be a verbal activity!

Good luck 🙂

Hi everyone  from Mrs McWhirter. I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and enjoyed the sunshine! I am missing seeing and hearing  you all but I hope we can have some musical fun and learning here!

I hope you enjoy this song all about the lovely flowers coming out just now and many more images of the wonderful world! I think some of you will already know this song and can sing along.

My favourite part is the Boom de anna bit which is repeated many times and you could clap along to that part or tap your knees or find something safe in your house to use as a drum. A cardboard box can make a great sound and wooden spoons can be tapped together a bit like our claves! Please always ask before you try to make sure it’s safe!

Another thing you could try is writing your own verse about what you like. I would love to read some of your ideas here so please get song writing! Here’s my verse, try and sing it!

I like the Springtime, I like the blossom trees

I like the garden , I like the bumble bees

I like the sunlight shining down on me

Boom de anna boom de anna boom de anna boom de anna

Good luck!

Good Morning Primary 1

Today we are learning about symmetry. There are a few ideas on our weekly PowerPoint to have a look at, however, as the sun is shining I wonder if you can make a symmetrical picture in your garden using natural materials like leaves, stones and flowers. Find your line of symmetry and make sure that both sides are the same just like a butterflies wings. Send in any photos as we would love to see them.

Take care and stay safe!

Good morning everyone.  I hope you are all fit and healthy and had a good day yesterday in the sunshine.   It was a lovely day for being outside in the garden or for going a family walk.  When I was out walking with Mr Herbison we saw a beautiful butterfly.  Have you seen any when you have been outside?

Today is a special day for someone  –  it is Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday!  Do you know what age she is and can you work out which year she was born?

Here is a link to a short video  about  the Queen:

Have a great day😊

Good Morning everyone. How are you all today?

One of the things I miss most about school is our Check-in time when we have the chance to share our news with each other or just have a chance to say how we are feeling. I would love to hear how you are getting on and what you have been doing. If you are able, it would be good if you could get an adult to help you to send me a short message just so that I know you are well.
