Good afternoon P1,

I hope you have had a nice morning. Thank you for sending us so many lovely photos of you learning and playing. It is great to see the creative things you have been doing at home. Have a look at the school twitter page tomorrow to see what children in the rest of our school have been doing too.

I wonder if any of you tried an activity to practise throwing and catching. Let us know in the comments if you did. I took my little dog Bennie down to our garden at lunchtime and tried to play a throwing game with him – the only trouble is that he won’t bring anything back! Here is a little video of us playing ‘fetch’ just for fun!

Take care and have a wonderful afternoon and evening,

Your P1 Teachers

What emotion?

Leave a comment

I know how good Primary one are at playing the drama emotion game and pass the smile, so why don’t you show your family how to play.

Use those wonderful facial expressions to show different emotions. Will you be happy, angry, sad or excited? Can you use your body to show the emotion too? When would you feel these emotions? What would happen to  make you feel this way?

There are some great emotion songs you could sing along with too.

 

To practise some calm and relaxation you could also try some Cosmic kids yoga to The hungry Caterpillar.

Remember to keep sending in your photos of some of the learning you have been doing at home.  We love seeing all of the activities you have been getting up to!

 

Have a lovely day!

Story Time from Home – Thursday 23rd April

2 Comments

Hello everyone! Did you find the connection between today and a dragon story? If you were at school in England you would probably know this because St George is the special saint of England just like St Andrew is our special saint here in Scotland. Another name for this is the patron saint. I wonder if you can find out any other patron saints?

Below is a link to a short video all about St George and the dragon which I think you might enjoy.

And here is the link to today’s story time from home which is all about dragons. I hope that you enjoy this too and have started to think about what you could write for your own dragon stories.

Below is a photograph of some planet Earth crafts that some boys made at the hub school in Bathgate with me yesterday.  Don’t they look great?

The words at the bottom say reduce, reuse and recycle.

Thank you again for all your photos and messages. I will share some of these on Twitter at the end of the week but please remember grown ups I can’t post any  photographs with  faces or names.

Good Morning Primary 2b Thursday 23rd April 2020

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope everyone is well today? Today is the 23rd of April I wonder if anyone can tell me why this is a special day? Miss McDermott will be reading a dragon story today. If you want to you can write your own dragon story. I would love to read them. Remember your story  needs a title, an opening sentence, a problem and an ending.

I have sent you a link to another story about a dragon and a game you might like to play.

Have fun using your imagination.

Good Morning Primary one

I hope you had a good day yesterday and enjoyed doing World Earth day activities.

We hope that you have been staying active during your time at home and making the most of the lovely sunshine we have been having.

Why not try practising your throwing and catching today. Try passing an object back and forth with a grown up or a sibling. If you start to find it easy, move further apart to make it trickier.

Or why not try the bucket toss. Roll up some socks and throw them into a bucket. How many can you get in in a row?  You could also make it harder by throwing them into a smaller hole. I used an old cardboard box to make a bunny toss. Remember don’t give up if you find it hard, keep going!

 

What other throwing and catching games can you think of?

Have fun!

Good morning, everyone!  I hope you had a fun day yesterday and got out in the sunshine.  I had fun reading some emails from boys and girls in our class.  I love to see your photos of all the learning activities you are doing with your families so please keep sending them to me and keep in touch!

My daughter and I baked a carrot and banana loaf last night.  We had to follow all the instructions in the recipe and use scales to weigh out all the ingredients.  Have any of you been baking at home?  It would be good to see photos of your baking.

 

 

Today is St George’s Day.  St George’s Day is celebrated in England on 23rd April.  He is the patron saint of England.  St George rescued a princess by slaying a fearsome fire-breathing dragon.  I hope you have enjoyed watching Miss McDermott’s stories about dragons this week.  Here is a link to a short video about St George –

Welcome 3a Thursday 23.4.20

Good morning everybody.

Firstly, a big thank you to everybody who sent me an email yesterday. It was great to be back in touch with the children in 3a. Please keep emailing me. I’d be quite happy to hear from you all everyday.

Today is St George’s Day. Perhaps you could research the story of St George or create a dragon picture to send to me.

Our favourite poem for today is ” Please Mrs Butler” by  Allan Ahlberg. I’ll try to attach a link – otherwise you can search for it online. I’m sure you’ll enjoy performing it for your family.

Just for fun – I think a lot of you enjoyed the video of Katie Morag yesterday.  For today’s video, which breed of dog do you think eats faster- a labrador or a border collie? There was a video on the internet recently of two dogs eating their dinner and their owner was giving a running commentary. I thought I could do the same, but there just wasn’t time. One of my dogs is a very fast eater!
