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: Read Jessie & Friends: Sharing Pictures
– The Storybook
 Download and read Jessie & Friends: Sharing Pictures – the Storybook at
https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/jessie-and-friends
 Use questions to chat about the storybook. For example:
o Who did Tia want to send the pictures to at first?
o How did more people end up seeing the pictures?
o What made Mo feel sad?
o How did Ms Humphrey help Jessie, Tia and Mo?
 If you have a printer, print off the storybooks and ask your child to complete the activities on page 4 and 7.
No printer? Ask your child to draw a picture of a grown-up who helps them and, (if they can) write the grown-ups name, all the things they do to help your child, and/or what your child admires about them.  P1 children can just talk about these things rather than write anything.

Activity 2:  Learn the actions to the song!
 Re-watch the song on the Jessie & Friends cartoon, Episode 2 at
https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/jessie-and-friends-videos/

Use the actions and lyrics sheets to sing along and learn the actions to the chorus.
 If your child would like to they could perform the song for others in their family.

Please remember you can send us any photographs or messages about your work – we would love to receive them.

Bonjour!

Today I thought it might be nice to introduce you to some new French words. These are words for things you might see in a school so they will be helpful when we are all back together again.

We are going to use a website to help us say the words properly and to practise them with some games!

1. Go to www.linguascope.com and log in using the details emailed out. If you are unsure of the details, please email your teacher and they can send them out again!

2. Click on the French flag in the beginner’s section.

3. Click on the tab titled “La Vie Au Quotidien” and then click on the icon titled “Dans La Classe”

4. First click on the “Presentation” section – click on each picture and listen to the French word. Try to repeat the words in your best accent!

5. The “Ecoute” section is a nice way to practise the new words. Click on the different ears to listen to one of the words. When you know what the word means, drag the ear to the right picture.

6. The “Jeu De Memoire” game is a bit like the game Pairs. Click on two pictures (don’t worry about reading the French words, just listen to the voice) and if they match you get a pair. If not, try again!

Remember that in P1, we focus on Listening and Speaking skills in French, not on Reading or Writing. Some of the other games are super but might be too tricky in terms of reading.

I hope you enjoy learning some new words in French. Here is a very silly little song that we enjoy listening to in class sometimes to practise our colours and have some fun!

Good luck with your French!

Take care,

Your P1 Teachers

Good morning Primary 3, how are you feeling today?

This week was going to be Health Week at school and I hope you are having lots of exercise while you are at home, I am going for cycles and long walks. We also have to think about our emotional health and this song reminds us about paying attention to our feelings. You might remember this Fischy song, it has lots of lovely actions too so join in and enjoy it!

I have made a table to help me think about my emotions, maybe you could add some pictures to it? Let me know how you feel.

What makes you Happy?  What makes you sad?

What makes you angry? What makes you excited?

Good morning Primary 2,  how are you feeling today?

Today we are going to be thinking about keeping healthy! I know lots of you will be enjoying doing exercise every day. I have been cycling a lot and going for long walks. Here is a  Fischy song you may remember to get you moving and to think about how you are feeling inside too.

We also have to choose healthy food to eat and the next song is full of lovely vegetables which are so good for you! I wonder which one in the song is your favourite?  Mine is the tomato!

Find an old piece of paper and get ready to crunch it up when the munch and crunch and scrunch sounds comes. When the popping sound comes make a pop with your lips! Make a lovely mmmmmmmm sound for the yummy bit!

You could make up your own verse about your favourite vegetable or fruit, let me know what you would choose to munch today!

Good morning, everyone.

Today is Tuesday and it’s going to be another sunny day.  I hope you manage to get outside and have some fun.  Maybe you will go for a walk or a cycle with your family.   You may even see some minibeasts.

Here is a video by Adam Hargreaves showing you how to draw some Mr Men characters.  You could have a go if you have time.

Here is another   er   video to help with this week’s digraph.

Have a lovely day.

Hi,

I hope you all had a great first day of June. Thanks to all those who sent me an email yesterday. Some great/awful jokes about pirates. Keep up the good work.

Pizza for Pirates got me inspired to make you a map to send you on a treasure hunt. Well actually its a spelling hunt. I have written with paving chalk all your spelling words around/near the school. You have to find them! And, because pirates use maps, below is the map which will help you find them.

The black circles are all ‘ea’ words and the black crosses are ‘sp/spr’ words. There are ten of each to find or twenty words in total. Write down the ones you find. Below is a word file you could download to help you.

P3 Spelling Hunt

I wonder how many words you will   .

You’ll need to look carefully if you want to them.

Let myself and Miss Ross know how you get on.

Good Morning, everyone!

I hope you had a good day yesterday and managed to enjoy lots of time outside enjoying our lovely weather.

I wanted to share some of our good work on Symmetry from last week. You can see one pupil using a mirror to help find lines of symmetry and some nice examples of symmetrical flags.

For today, here is a short story about a little dog called Fergus. Count how many er words  you can hear in the story.

In this activity you have to write er words in the petals of the flower. Then you can decorate your flower.

You could play this er words board game with your family.

Have a great day and enjoy your learning.

Hello boys and girls

It looks like the nice weather is here for at least another day so I do hope that you are all enjoying the sunshine and getting outside to play.  Yesterday when Jim and I were out for a walk we saw a weasel out enjoying the sun. Unfortunately we didn’t have any phones or cameras but I have posted this picture to let you see what a weasel looks like.  It is not very often that you get to see them in the wild – especially not in Bathgate!

Weasels have lovely red, gingery coloured fur and white tummies.  They are very small and only about the length of a pencil case when they are fully grown. They have very sharp teeth and although they mostly eat mice and voles, they can catch rabbits and squirrels too.

Below is the link to today’s Story Time from Home. This week’s story writing is a little bit tricky so you might want to listen to the stories to help you with some ideas before you write your own.

Although it’s only Tuesday, I am working in the hub school today, so I won’t be replying immediately to any messages or emails. You can still keep in touch however and I will get back to you on Wednesday.

Stay safe in the sun and have a nice day.

Miss McDermott

Good afternoon. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are enjoying this lovely weather. I can’t believe it is June already.

I know that you all like to eat healthy meals so I thought that maybe this week you could set yourself a challenge.

Can you eat a Rainbow?

Can you try a new vegetable for lunch or dinner              OR

Can you eat 3 different colours of vegetables with your lunch or dinner?

You could keep a diary or a colour a rainbow in with all the different foods you eat.

Here is a little rainbow food song.

This week we are looking at a new fairytale. This all about The Snow Queen.

What do you think it would be like to be in charge? Do you think you would be a good King or Queen?

Would you make people wear a uniform or allow everyone to eat chocolate with every meal or have to bow every time they saw you?

Why don’t you think of some rules you would put in place if you were a King or Queen.  You could make a poster to show your royal subjects.

Why don’t you design and make your own crown.

I made one by cutting out shapes. How will you make yours? What shape will it be?

Have a lovely afternoon.
