Hello everyone

Thank you for all of the messages and photographs this week. As it’s Friday I am working in the hub school today so I won’t be replying to any messages until Monday.

Here is the link for the last of this week’s Story Time from Home videos.

Bonjour,

I’m sorry this post is a bit later in the day than normal – I have been having a bit of trouble with my wifi today so I have been trying to sneak online whenever it is running!

I hope that you are all having a lovely week, we’ve been hearing about lots of the amazing things you have been doing at home and we are all really impressed by all your efforts and enthusiasm. Well done!

This afternoon, or whenever you have time, you could practise the words for the colours in French. Here is a nice video to teach you to sing the Rainbow song in French:

Remember that you can use www.linguascope.com with the log in details that were emailed out to practise French colours. They are in the Beginners section.

Challenge: Can you make a board game to practise your French colours?

Making a Board Game

You will need:

• plain paper
• pen or pencil
• colouring pencils/crayons/pens
• a dice
• 2-4 counters

Method:

1. Draw the outline of a board game with a start and finish.

Example:

2. Colour each square. You may end up with more than one square of each colour!

3. Take turns to throw the dice and move your counter that number of spaces. In order to stay on the square you land on, you have to say the colour in French!

4. The first player to reach the FINISH square wins.

You can make your game more exciting by adding in snakes and ladders, or by adding ‘miss a turn’ squares, etc.

We hope you have fun practising your French colours, good luck!

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday and managed to get outside and enjoy the sunshine.   When we were having our lunch in the garden a little beetle landed on Mr Herbison’s arm.  I took a picture of it to show you.  I’m not sure of the proper name for this minibeast – do you know?

Did you enjoy watching Little Miss Sunshine yesterday?  Here is a  Mr Men story for you to enjoy.  If you were to meet this person you would think he was the silliest person ever!  I hope you enjoy Mr Silly!

Take care and have a lovely day!

Mrs Herbison

Good Morning Primary 2B ,

What a lovely day yesterday. I really enjoyed getting outside in my garden.  I hope you managed to get outside in the sun too.

Today we are still learning about 3D shapes. Did you find yesterdays challenge tricky?

I know Miss McDermott has been reading lots of Robot stories. Have you managed to make a 3D robot Mrs Mills and myself would love to see them.

If  you want to learn how to draw a realistic bee for your fact file. I have sent a link from Art Hub to help you.

Have a fun day!

Good morning Primary one. I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday and managed to enjoy some of the lovely weather we had. I spent the day in the garden looking for mini beasts and my boys and I had a teddy bears picnic.

You all know that moving about and keeping active is good for your body, whether it is running, jumping, playing football or any other exercise. But do you know what parts of your body you are using when you move and do these activities?

Under our skin we have a skeleton and we have muscles. We have so many muscles that all help our bodies do so many different things.  Here is a little video to explain how they work.

What muscles do you know? With a grown up, have a chat about the muscles we have in our body and what ones you think you use when you do different sports.

Even superheroes need to use their muscles to stay strong, so here are a couple of superhero exercise activities to do to keep you active and build up the strength in your muscles.

This superhero exercise sheet talks about action verbs. A verb is a  doing words, an action word like jump or walk. Some of them are tricky but can you talk to a grown up and think about which word in each activity you think is the action?

I tried a few of the actions. Can you guess which ones?

Why don’t you try some superhero yoga and see what muscles you use during it.

We have all been so impressed at the work you have been doing at home. We know how strange this situation is and want you to know how much we miss seeing you all. All the teachers want you to know that we think you are all stars!

Have a lovely day Primary one and remember to stay safe and keep in touch.
