Hello P2/1

Welcome back again ! Hope everyone managed to have some time off from home learning over the holiday weekend.

As you will see our home learning plan is a bit different as this is such a short week for you.  Grown ups please be aware that I  will be in my hub school on Thursday and Friday so won’t be immediately available on these days for checking and replying to  emails and messages.

One of the home learning tasks this week is to create a stay safe stone and I have posted a picture of the stones that I have decorated below. I haven’t managed to go for a walk yet and leave them somewhere but hopefully I can do this later in the week.  I found it much easier to do the writing using felt pens but you can try different things depending on what you have at home.

This week I  will be  posting the Story Time from Home link on a separate blog page as it includes some literacy tasks for you to try.  You will need a grown up to help but hopefully you will enjoy these for a wee change.

Please note grown ups – there is no story writing task this week.

I can see that quite a few of you have been have been logging on to  the Sumdog website. Remember that like Numbots, this is your choice and I will not be setting work on here for you to do. It can be good fun playing games online but you should not be doing this all the time.

Enjoy the sunshine today – it is a lovely day here in Bathgate and hopefully it is in Linlithgow too!

Hello everyone

Here is the link to today’s story.

You will need to watch it before you can do these literacy tasks which are part of this week’s home learning plan.

The tricky words below were all in today’s story. Find out what these words mean. Try to use them in different sentences throughout the day.  You DO NOT need to write your sentences down.

• lurked
• pounced
• creepy
• weary

 

How good are your listening skills? Remember you don’t need to write your answers down – you can just tell a grown up or big brother or sister if you have one.

• How many cats are in the Tibbles Family?
• What is the name of Billy’s baby brother?
• Why did Billy not like the shed?
• Why was Billy glad that he wasn’t by himself when he went upstairs?
• How did the bed get broken?
• Who was not happy about sharing at the end of the story?

Talk about why sharing is important.  Can you think about a time when you have had to share something? It might have been at home or even when you were back at school.

If you’ve time here’s a link to a simple  how to draw a cat video that you might like to try . The cat looks a little bit like Billy Tibbles in the story. When you  open the link you might need to scroll down to get the video..
