Good afternoon boys and girls,

I hope you are all having a lovely day so far. During this time at home we have to make sure that we keep our bodies and minds active. I have been trying to do Joe Wicks most days with my big boy and girl if I can’t get outside. I have put the link below if you want to try it.

A good way to relax is with Cosmic Kids Zen Den. This one talks about all our different feelings and emotions that we have.

I wonder if you can show emotions using your face and ask an adult to guess what it is- you do this in drama with Mrs Chisholm.

To finish off today I thought I would share a collage I made of my family keeping active . We have even managed to find some rope swings and Roxy, our dog, had a swim to cool down in a local river.

Keep safe Primary 1 we are missing your smiling faces.

All the P1 teachers.

Good morning, everyone.  I hope you are well and had a wonderful day yesterday.  My day begins by reading emails and I always enjoy finding out about the activities you have been doing with your families.  Yesterday, I read an email telling me all about someone in our class helping their family by counting all the cows and their calves every morning – super outdoor numeracy activity.  I enjoyed reading about another pupil who used chalk to practise writing phonics on the garden path.  I also know that many of you have been helping to make lunch and dinner at home, fantastic skills.

One pupil in our class also made lunch and dinner for the birds in their garden – bird feeders.  This is a super activity to do at home and you can enjoy watching the birds in your garden.  I really enjoy sitting quietly and spotting all the different birds.  It’s quite exciting watching them flying to the bird feeders.  This is an activity you could possibly do, too.

I hope you like my photographs.  I took them last June in my mum’s garden.  It was very exciting watching the mummy feed her chick.

Here is a link to the RSPB website where there are lots of ideas:

Let me know if you see any birds.

Have a great day!

Hello P2/1

Hope that you are all well!

Thank you so much to everyone that sent me superhero photographs yesterday – you are looking fantastic!

Now I am going to be honest here and tell you about something that I saw on Mrs Herbison’s blog yesterday that I thought you might like too!  It is a competition to design a superbear and it is being organised by a big shop called John Lewis.

This is what it says

Children of Britain are 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.

Now like Mrs Herbison has said on her blog, you could still have a go at designing a superbear even if you don’t want to take part in the competition.

You could even send your photographs of your bears to me.

Here is the link to today’s Story Time from Home.

And here is the link to a short video of the Pied Piper of Hamelin which today’s story is based on.  I don’t think that this is the same video that we watched and discussed in class.

This is not my favourite Biff, Chip and Kipper story but I wonder what you think?

Have a good day and remember just do your best!

Miss McDermott

Good morning!

I hope you are all well this morning.

These lovely yellow roses are brightening up my day!

Remember – please send a message to say “Hello!” That would also brighten up my day!

Mrs Webster

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all having a good week so far. Thank you to everyone who has been in contact with Mr Brice and myself, we love hearing what you have been up to and seeing all your hard work.

On Monday me and Elliot made a bird feeder with an old tub, sticks and shoe laces. There are so many great ideas and you can usually make them with things you have around the house. We haven’t seen any birds on it yet but hopefully they get used to it soon. Here is a picture.

I know everyone loved Percy Parkers 5 times table song in class. As you are all so good at it why not share it with your family. You could also learn Percy Parkers 3 times table song.

International Dance Day 

Today is international dance day, a perfect day to practice the routines you have put together for expressive arts. Feel free to send us a video of these we would love to see them.

I have added a link of a just dance video that we have all enjoyed in class.

Keep in touch!

Miss Ross 😀

Good morning everyone!

I hope you have had a nice start to the week. We have been hearing from lots of you all about the great things you are doing at home. Please keep sending us emails and photos and comments – we love hearing from you.

Today, or at some point when you have time, I would love it if you could do a wee activity with a grown up that I hope will remind you of how special you are.

All you have to do is look at the sheet here (I am AMAZING) and ask a grown up to read the start of each sentence to you. Your job is to tell them (or just think about it inside your head) how you could finish the sentence. You don’t need to print it or write anything down, it is just a nice chance to reflect on how unique and wonderful you all are.

We are so proud of you all; for all your super learning but also, and especially, for all the lovely things we hear that you have been doing, like helping around the house, playing with your brothers and sisters, being kind and making your families smile. You are all wonderful, never forget it!

I found a list of LOTS of fun things to do indoors for the days when the weather isn’t as nice as it has been lately – I will leave the link to it here (Fun Indoor Activities) for you to have a look at. You can try some of these if you want, but remember that you don’t have to. You might have already thought of some even better ideas yourself!

Please feel free to get in contact with us if you need help with anything at all – we are here to support you however we can.

Take care and have a lovely day,

Your P1 Teachers

Good Morning primary 2b,

I hope you are all well. Today is National Poetry Month and I know how much you like to read and listen to poems.  Here is a link  to Kenn Nesbitt’s website with lots of lovely poems to listen to and read. Maybe if you have time you can make your own acrostic poem. Go to lessons and it will explain how to do this.  My favourite poem is When the teacher isn’t looking. Maybe you can let me know if you have a favourite?

Click for Kenn Nesbitt’s Poetry Website

Below are some examples of some acrostic poems using your name or the name of your friend . Mabye you want to think of your own ideas. What about characters from your favourite cartoon or film?                                                                                                                

Have a fun day!

Mrs Boyle
