We are having a Health focus this week and next week. I hope you are going to have lots of fun outdoors participating in lots of activities. What is your favourite outdoor activity? I am going to go for lots of walks along the river and I am also going to go for lots of cycles.
Here are links to this week’s Learning Grid and Time Activities: Learning Grid week 11
First a highlight from my past week: I’ve been continuing with my running and last week I beat my personal best on distance. I managed to run 20km in one run/jog. I had very sore legs the next day! I have also made a sign out of some of the materials I had from last years Gala day when Sofia was a Flower Girl. I’ve made it rainbow colours. I hope you like it.
Remember, I would love to hear about your highlights too.
For the next two weeks, we will be focusing a lot more on Health and Well-being. That means on keeping our bodies healthy and active, on eating a balanced diet, on talking about how to keep safe, and on talking about different feelings and how we cope with them.
Please, check out the school website for the P3 resources for home learning this week.
Tomorrow is a school holiday because of the Linlithgow Marches. I won’t be setting a spelling hunt. However, I might take Sofia and Charlotte on a hunt for the Perambulation Stones and you may wish to during the week too. Especially, as we are having our Health and Wellbeing Fortnight.
The stones mark the boundary of Linlithgow from 1832. Here is what one of them looks like. You could walk or cycle the route which is 6.5km long and I think there are seven stones to find. The map below suggests starting the walk from St Ninians Church which is where we went before Christmas. One of the stones is located right next to it. Check out the map and you can find out more in the Leaflet which I have attached.
Check out my post about this weeks story ‘Paddington Bear’. I hope you enjoy it. During the week let us know how you are getting on by emailing myself and Miss Ross.
And below are the follow on activities you can do. Try to do at least two over the week. This week your handwriting task links to the book, so make sure you complete that task as well.
Paddington Bear Reading Comprehension
Where does Mrs Brown say Peru is?
Why do they call the bear Paddington?
Where do the Brown’s live?
How does Lucy describe Mrs Bird?
What was the first thing Paddington did in the bathroom?
Would you like a bear to come and live with you? And why?
Appologies, I made a mistake on the comprehension located on the school website. Question 4 should be ‘How does Lucy describe Mrs Bird?’. (Not Mrs Brown)
Wonderful Writer Find out some facts about Peru and create an information poster all about the country.
Book Review Print out the book review and complete (or create your own version)
Word Wizard Find out the dictionary definition of the following words and write them in your own sentence: stowaway, Left Luggage, marmalade, bitterly, earnestly
Artistic Ace Draw a picture to represent part of the story and write at least 2 sentences to describe your drawing.
Question Master Design your own Paddington Bear quiz or a quiz about Peru.
Handwriting Find out Copy out the following passage in your neatest handwriting or you can practice your typing skills. Then add an illustration.
Mr and Mrs Brown first met Paddington on a railway platform. In fact, that was how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear, because Paddington was the name of the station. The Browns were waiting to meet their daughter, Judy, when Mr Brown noticed something small and furry near the LEFT LUGGAGE office. “It looks like a bear,” he said.
Here are some files which will help you complete your tasks:
Can you draw minibeast shapes in the dirt with sticks? A round body of a spider, what about the legs? Swirls for a snail’s shell. Wiggly lines for a worm.
Hope everyone had a good weekend. I managed to get to Callendar Park with my family for a walk. It was a bit wet but we wore our wellies! We are getting extra fence put up in the garden soon so I was painting the slats too. Painting a fence seems to last forever!
Well done to those who joined in with the Sumdog challenges last week. Congratulations to those who placed in the top 3- you’ll find your coin rewards waiting for you!
New challenges, HA games and your Week 11 grid are all ready for you this week. We are focusing more on Health and Wellbeing for the last 2 weeks so the grid looks slightly different.
Today I am heading into school for the first time since we went into lockdown. This feels a bit strange. Please still email any news and I’ll get back to you, it just might not be until the end of the day.
Tomorrow is a holiday so I won’t be online but Ms Occardi will be back from Wednesday.
Have a think about where your food comes from. Look in your fridge or cupboard. Make a list or discuss where your food comes from.
Can you learn how to make a sandwich?
Think about the ingredients you are using and where they come from. Remember the importance of washing your hands well and of course helping with the washing up.
Mr Taylor has sent us a link to a competition I thought you might like to try. It is the BBC Children in Need Design a Duck Competition. The instructions on how to take part and a duck template are attached below. The closing date is 24th June.
Have a lovely day. Try and send us a message if you can, just to say hello or to share some work.
This week is a bit different because tomorrow is Marches Day. Even though we cannot celebrate as we would normally do, I hope you are able to have a lovely family day tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a school holiday because of the Linlithgow Marches. I won’t be setting a spelling hunt. However, I might take Sofia and Charlotte on a hunt for the Perambulation Stones and you may wish to during the week too. Especially, as we are having our Health and Wellbeing Fortnight.
