Good Morning, P2A Thursday 23rd April

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 –

Have fun learning and have a great day!

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!

Good afternoon boys and girls!

We hope that you have all been busy enjoying our planet in celebration of World Earth Day and we can’t wait to see any models you have made. If you are looking for more things to keep you busy please click on the links below as there are some really interesting and fun activities to do such as creating your own terrarium or making up your own stories. You can even earn a Blue Peter Badge by drawing your own pet, or one you would like to have!

Love from your Teachers

Good Morning!!

 

Morning boys and girls I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine in your gardens. As it is a little bit cloudier this morning I thought we could maybe try singing our sunshine song to get the sun to come out to play with us. Once you have sung along why don’t you try drawing lovely sunshine picture  we would love to see them (ask your parent/carer to upload it onto your Learning Journal). Take care of yourselves. Love Mrs Cringean xx

Good Morning P2A Wednesday, 22 April

Good morning everyone.  I hope you are all well and had a good day yesterday.  I enjoyed looking at my emails and seeing some of the fabulous activities you have been doing with your families.  Please keep sending them to me.  I also enjoyed my walk along the river yesterday and I could hear lots of different bird songs.  It was so lovely to listen to the birds singing, watch the ducks swimming and see all the spring flowers.

Today is Earth Day.  I have included a couple of information PowerPoints you can look at to find out more information about Earth Day and what we can all do.

Earth Day 2020 – Climate Action

Good morning Primary One,

I hope you had a lovely day yesterday and managed to make the most of the beautiful sunshine. We have really enjoyed receiving some photos of the amazing learning and playing you have been doing at home – well done and keep up the great work!
Today is a special day – it is Earth Day 2020 and it is the 50th anniversary of this day. Earth Day is a day where we try to take some time to think about how amazing our planet is and the things that we can do to help it.
If it fits into your routine today, you could look through this Power Point with an adult and have a chat about the parts that interest you or that you would like to know more about.
The Power Point talks about the importance of recycling – I wonder if you could try to make something new out of old packaging material to give it a second life? Send us a photo or let us know in the comments what you have learned about Earth Day or what you decided to create!
Our planet is truly amazing – look at this beautiful Spring blossom near my home,. It made me smile!
Our learning grid/resources for this week are still on the LPS website and if you scroll back a little you will also find a PowerPoint with more related learning activities. We understand that everyone’s situation is different just now, so find a routine that works for your family and please don’t feel any pressure! Let us know if we can support you in any way.
Take care and have a great day,
Primary One Teachers 🙂

Good Morning P3B

Good morning everyone!
I hope you had a lovely Easter break. I have been missing you all and thinking about you all the time.

What have you been doing over the last two weeks? The weather has been beautiful! I have been very busy painting my fence, playing in the garden and going on lots of walks near my house.

I have seen many signs that spring is here when I have been out, including this lamb that had just been born!

I went back to visit them, they are now 4 weeks old! They have grown so much!

I love spring it is my favourite season. I would love to hear about signs of spring you have seen in your garden or when you have been out a walk, you could even send me some photos!

Spring writing

On a Wednesday we usually do writing in P3B. I have missed reading your writing and I know many of you really enjoy it! You could do some spring free writing and send me your stories. Below I have attached some spring pictures to give you ideas and get you started.

Have a great day!

Primary 2B Wednesday 22nd April

Good Morning Primary 2B

Good morning hope you are all well today. It  is a lovely day and I am sure you are all looking forward to learning lots of new things with the help of your family. We all understand why it is important that everyone stays at home as much as possible just now. If you can make a poster telling people to STAY AT HOME and put it in your window that would be great. Remember to make your writing Big and Bold. I would love to see your posters so if you can send them to me I will choose a few to share on our Twitter page.

Have fun

Mrs Boyle

Good morning, Primary 3a

Good morning everybody.

I hope you had a good holiday. During the holidays I spent some time painting window frames and a lot of time eating Easter eggs. You know I’m not very good working with the computer, but I hope I’ve managed to upload a picture of my hard work.

I’ve missed you all, especially our morning check in and reading stories and poems. Let me know what your favourite poems are and I’ll put them on the blog for you to share with your families.

I hope you are working hard with your home learning grids. I would love if you would send me a short email letting me know how you’re getting on.

Just for fun I’m uploading a video of Katie Morag. She likes to play with two balls in the evening and uses one of them to give herself a back massage. Hetzer and I just watch her. If you look carefully you’ll spot Hetzer’s legs. He’s lying at my feet.

I’ll be posting again tomorrow morning and look forward to your emails.

Ms Occardi

PS – I’ve just noticed the window is upside down, but we learn by our mistakes in P3a.

Story Time from Home – Wednesday 22nd April Earth Day

Here is today’s Story Time from Home link.  I have chosen this story not just because it’s about dragons but because today is  Earth Day and the story is about caring, sharing and working together.

https://vimeo.com/410326790/42f973820b

Below is also a short powerpoint explaining a little bit about Earth Day and a little activity you might want to do about  looking after the planet Earth.

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/us-t-318-earth-day-powerpoint

Even if you can’t print the activity off, I am sure you could make your own version and maybe you could even send me a photograph if you are able to.

Today I am working at one of the hub schools in Bathgate so I won’t be able to reply to any emails or messages immediately – please be patient  though and I will get back to you when I can !

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 🙂

Music Time with Mrs McWhirter

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!
