Salut P1,

This afternoon I thought we could practise some of the French we have learned this year with our French teacher and in class. Let’s watch our French Greetings song and sing together to get us warmed up.

Bennie says SALUT everybody! Can you remember what that means?

Silly Bennie has forgotten to colour in the French flag – can you help him? What colours should he have used?

Memory Challenge!

Can you think back to what you have learned in school? See if you can tell a grown up how to say these common greetings in French. I bet they will help you look them up online if you have forgotten any.

Hi!     Good morning/day!     Good afternoon/evening!     Good night!     Good bye!     See you soon!

Check Bennie’s picture to see if you were right:

Here is a short video to help you with the pronunciation.

Did you spot a tall landmark on the laptop in the first picture? It is very famous. Here is a little information about it:

Perhaps you could research some other famous landmarks in France. If you get stuck, I have attached a PowerPoint all about France that might give you some hints!

All About France PowerPoint

Let us know in the comments how you got on if you tried this activity or if you found out anything new about somewhere nice in France.

Take care and have a lovely afternoon and evening,

Au revoir!

Your P1 Teachers

Good morning Primary 3!  I hope you are ready to make some music?

Maybe like me you are spending a lot of time in your garden when the weather is warm? Or maybe you have been enjoying a walk outdoors? Wherever you are there are so many sounds around and we are going to explore and collect some sounds today!

If you click on this link you should find a clip called Sonic Explorer and today it is all about the garden and the outdoors. While you are watching and listening, think about what instruments would make those sounds. Maybe after watching you could be a sonic explorer in your own garden or on your next walk and collect your own sounds? Or you could use your music memory to remember the sounds of the park or an outdoor space.

I would love to hear your sound collection, it could just be like a list like this

trees rustling, birds tweeting, ball bouncing, washing flapping………and so on.

You could turn it into a Sound Poem and write it out in your best handwriting then draw pictures or shapes to illustrate it. Or if you prefer you could take photos of your sound to share. I look forward to hearing about some interesting sounds!Happy listening!

Please click here for Sonic Explorer!

Good morning, everyone!  I hope you are well and ready for another lovely day.  Did any of you look at the link to National Gardening Week?  They give you ideas for each day.  Today’s idea is about which plants attract pollinators so that will be one of my tasks today!

#designyoursuperbear

Do you know about a competition to design a super bear?  I found out about this last night and thought some of you boys and girls would like to take part.  I would love to but this is a competition for children!  This is the invitation from John Lewis:

Children of Britain invited to share their designs to create a “super-bear”’ cuddly toy using #DesignYourSuperBear to be sold at Christmas – with 100% of the profits going to the NHS

Here is the link and more information if you would like to take part.  You could still design a super-bear even if it’s not for the competition.

I would love to see your Super-Bear designs.  Have fun designing!

Have a great day.

Hello everyone

Today is National Superhero Day! Now actually I felt a bit sad this morning, not just because the weather is not very nice but because as you know I love dressing up and one costume I don’t have is – a superhero one.

However you don’t have to wear a special costume or have magical powers to be a Superhero.  Often it can be little things that you do for people that can make a big difference. Just now there are lots of superheroes helping to keep us safe in lots of different ways.

I am sure that like me lots of you are going outside on Thursdays at 8 o’clock to clap and say thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff who are looking after people that are unwell.

Lots of your grown ups are all still having to work too as well as now being your teachers at  home. This makes them my superheroes because they are helping me to do my job – so a big THANK YOU from me. I know you are all doing a fantastic job from the amazing photos and messages that you send and I really appreciate your help (and creativity!)

Maybe you can celebrate Superhero day by trying to find a way that you could help someone at home.  And if you do have a Superhero costume why not wear it today and send me a photo?

You can find some more fun Superhero ideas if you follow this link.

Good morning Primary 1 and Primary 2/1

Have you ever wanted to be in a band?

I wonder what instrument you would choose to play?

There is one thing you have to be good at in a band and that is keeping a steady beat and I know how well you can do that. Just to make sure I hope you are all ready to keep the beat with me using a new resource!Click on the link and find a song called Be in the Band! Next, find an instrument or something safe to tap or simply use your hands to clap or other parts of your body to keep the beat. I hope you have fun!

I would love to see a picture of you playing your favourite instrument in your band or try this colouring sheet.
