Hello everyone

Here is the link to today’s robot story which is from my tent again!

Hope you all enjoyed the nice weather yesterday.  If you didn’t see the last story from my tent, here is the link.  It’s called Camping Adventure and is all about Biff and Chip’s friends – Wilf and Wilma.

Please remember although there are lots of activities on the blog and home learning grid – just do what you can , when you can. These activities are for the whole week and not for any set day. I know you all have different things going on at home and it is not always easy to organise home learning.

Have a nice day whatever you choose to do!

Miss McDermott.

Good afternoon P1,

I thought that it would be nice to suggest an art activity that you could try at home if you have some free time this week.

Here is a video which talks about a style of art called Pointillism. I love using pointillism to create bright pieces of art and I hope you will enjoy the activity that the lady suggests in the video.

In the video, the lady mentions putting your name on your picture for the PTA, but you don’t need to worry about that – this is for you to display in your home!

In the video, the lady asks you to create an Autumn Tree using pointillism, but perhaps you could try instead to make a Spring tree to match the season that we are in? Here are some pictures that other artists have done of Spring trees using pointillism.

If you don’t have paints at home just now, you could use marker pens, crayons or colouring pencils to make your little dots!

Send us a picture of your lovely art work if you choose to do this activity at home, we would love to see them.

Stay safe, we miss you,  from your P1 teachers!

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you are all well and looking forward to a lovely sunny day.  I hope you will manage to get outside and have some fun.  I think you will need sun cream on today and also need to find some shade!  Here is Little Miss Sunshine to start the day!

Primary 2 have a Health and Wellbeing blog today and we hope to post this every Wednesday.  This week’s challenge is all about food and healthy eating.  If you have time over the next week you could have give it a go!

Have a wonderful day!

Mrs Herbison

Good morning everyone,

We are meant to be getting lots of lovely sunshine today so fingers crossed.

I know that you have already heard the story of the Elves and the Shoe Maker but I have put a link to a podcast below. This is a different way to listen to a story as there are no pictures to see. Maybe you could relax in your garden or in a comfy spot in your house, close your eyes and imagine the story in your head. If you would like a challenge become an illustrator and  create your own pictures.

In number work this week we are learning about counting on. This means that you will need to make a number line to 10 or 20, start on one number and jump on the rest. It is tricky to remember to jump to a new number each time. I have attached a power point to help you.

Again, please do what you can and stay in touch. We love to see all the photos or hear what you have been up to.

Take care Primary 1, love all your teachers.

Morning, I hope you all had a good start to the week. Remember you can share some of the work you have been doing at home by sending Mr Brice and me an e-mail.

This week you have been looking at the different layers of the ocean and the different animals you find there. I found this cool resource you can have a look at. It takes you down to the very bottom of the ocean 10,914 metres deep! There are some very strange animals deep in the ocean, have a look!

I know after hearing Mr Brice story ‘Gilbert the hero’ many of you have been researching sharks, I have allocated you a book all about sharks on Active Learn that can help with your research.
Have a look at this website, it allows you to track sharks that have been tagged around the world. They all have names, it tells you information about them and you can see where they have travelled recently.

I hope you all have a great day!

Good Morning Primary 2B,

I hope you are all well and working hard. I have loved looking at all your fantastic work. Thank you for keeping in touch with myself and Mrs Mills as we are loving hearing from you.

This week we are learning about 3D shapes. Have you been on a 3D hunt yet?  Try challenging yourself through learning about 3D shapes and their nets.

Once you have watched these try this game.  It’s quite tricky though! Let me know how you got on with this.

Today there is a also new blog page with a health and wellbeing challenge which myself and the other  P2 teachers hope to post every week as this is not something we have been including on our weekly home learning grids.  It is all about food and healthy eating so I do hope that over the next week you might be able to try it.

Have a fun day learning all about 3D shapes!

Mrs Boyle
