Have a good day!

I have been busy all morning watching a very interesting lady, Alice, talk about what we can do to help you when we do finally go back to school after the summer holidays. She spoke about how you, your teachers and your families may be worried. Things may be different to how we remember school but the one thing that we need to remember is that we will be there together.  If you are worried, this is okay. Being worried is a normal emotion when we do not know how things will look.

Here is a story that will help you to understand more about worries.

We will be able to help each other. She said that all you need is love, and a great big hug! Here is a story all about finding the perfect hug. Although we may need to find a new way to hug our friends we will be able to do this together. Below is a link to a story about a perfect hug and how to find it.

She sang a lovely song that some adults at home may know- All you need is love but she added a bit. All you need is love, and a great big hug! See if you can add it to the song.

Have a lovely afternoon boys and girls. We can’t wait to hug you again. Take care and stay safe.

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday and spent lots of time  outdoors enjoying our lovely weather.  I enjoyed spotting lots of different minibeasts in my garden.  Have you seen any minibeasts when you have been outside?

This story always made me laugh when we read it in class!  I hope you enjoy watching it today.

We also have a P2  Health and Wellbeing blog for you to look at today.

Have a lovely day.

Good morning everyone! I hope you have all had a great start to the week. Remember you can send Mr Brice and me any of the work you have completed. You can even just say hi and tell us what you have been up to.

I have allocated everyone a non-fiction book about tigers on Active Maths. Feel free to have a look at it, it might help anyone doing some research. I never knew Mr Brice had a tiger at home, how cool!!

Everyone in P3B will know my favourite animal is an Orca. Do you remember watching Free Willy together before we finished school? (Don’t tell anyone I nearly cried at the end!!). This week you have been asked to create a fact file about an animals that lives in the ocean, I made my own about Orcas. Have a look..

Here is today’s riddle..

Good Morning Primary 2B,

I hope you are all well and have been enjoying the lovely sunshine. I have been in my garden and going lots of long walks.

This week we are learning about symmetry and while I was on my walks I noticed how many things around us are symmetrical. If you have time perhaps you can make a list of objects you can see in the house and outside that are symmetrical . With some help you can also look at the fruit and vegetables we eat. Lots of fruit and vegetables are symmetrical. Get searching and see how many you can find.

I would love to hear how many you found?

Have fun on your symmetry hunt and if you’ve time remember to have a look at this week’s health and wellbeing challenge which is on a separate post.

Good morning,

I hope you have your thinking caps on…

… because it is time for some BRAINTEASERS to start the day off right!!!

Number Brainteaser

Can you figure out how to answer the last sum?

You might need an adult to talk it through with. You might like to write your thoughts down, draw some pictures or use a number-line to help you.

Literacy Brainteaser

How many words can you make using the letters in the Boggle grid?

Remember: each letter must touch the previous letter (diagonally is fine!)

Let us know how you got on with your brainteasers and don’t worry if you need to ask an adult to help you!

Take care and have a lovely day,

Your P1 Teachers

Here is the Health and Wellbeing Challenge for this week.

This activity is designed to help your child develop his/her knowledge, skills and confidence to help them respond safely to risks they may encounter online.

Learning Outcomes

• I am aware of and able to express my feelings and am developing the ability to talk about them.
• I can show ways of getting help in unsafe situations and emergencies.

Activity 1:  Watch Jessie & Friends- Episode 2

 Find the Jessie & Friends cartoons at  https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/jessie-and-friends-videos/
 Watch Episode 2: Sharing Pictures with your child.
 Use questions to chat about the cartoon.

For example:
o How did lots of people end up seeing the pictures?
o What made Mo feel sad?
o How did the friends get help when they needed it?
o What did Miss Humphrey say she would do to help?

 Finish by watching the song again and having a sing-along!
Note: If your child wants to watch Episode 1 too, do watch it with them! It’s aimed at younger children, but it’s still fun to watch.

Activity 2:  Draw a character
 Ask your child to draw a picture of their favourite character singing the funny tummy song.
 Ask them to include their favourite lyrics from the song on their drawing.
 Remember – we’d love to see your work!
