Hi Primary 3,

This week my story for you is ‘Pizza for Pirates’.

And below are the follow on activities you can do. Try to do at least two over the week.

Pizza for Pirates Reading Comprehension

1. How did George sail around the wide ocean blue?
2. What did George lose when he was gobbled by the whale?
3. Which word described how he moved on the beach? And why did he do this?
4. Why did the captain not want the pizza?
5. What made the digging for treasure hard?
6. Write down another joke about pirates.

Wonderful Writer George loves pirates. What do you like? Write an adventure story about a journey to meet what you love. You might meet mermaids or Steve from Minecraft or your favourite cartoon character.

Map Skills  Learn about map coordinates and have a go at the ‘Pirate Map Coordinates Worksheet’. You could also try making your own pirate map.

Book Review Print out the book review and complete (or create your own version)

Dynamic Designer Design and build a model boat that can float. It must be able to carry some pieces of eight (coins). Or you could design and make your own pizza but don’t serve it wet and soggy!

Artistic Ace Draw a picture to represent part of the story and write at least 2 sentences to describe your drawing.

Pizza for Pirates

Good morning,

First a highlight from my past week: On Saturday we went for a long walk to Muiravonside and had a picnic. The weather fantastic and when we got home we had a barbecue. Then we watched NASA on TV to see the new rocket SpaceX Dragon launch. After that, I slept in the tent in the garden with Sofia and Charlotte. Unfortunately, my bed deflated and had to be pumped back up in the middle of the night!

Remember, I would love to hear about your highlights too.

Please, check out the school website for the P3 resources for home learning this week.

This week my story is ‘Pizza for Pirates’, which I will post about separately. Here are this week spellings.

During the week let us know how you are getting on by emailing myself and Miss Ross.

Have a great day,

Mr Brice

Good Morning, everyone!

This week Primary 2 and P2/1 are learning about Spiders.

Have a look at this Powerpoint and youtube video. They have lots of  interesting spider facts and pictures and will help you to make your own Spider Fact File.

Can you make your own spider using paper or junk? Here are some ideas to help you.

Have a go at drawing a spider and a spider’s web.

Here is a spider board game that you might like to print out and play with your family. Or maybe you could design and create your own spider game.

You might enjoy listening to this spider story which Miss McDermott also read as part of Story Time from Home last week.

Good Morning, everyone! Can you believe it is  the 1st of June today? I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed our lovely weather.

Yesterday Mrs Boyle and I played golf which we haven’t been able to do for a long time. I wonder if any of you have managed to meet up with people you haven’t seen for a while?

Last week we had lots of examples of great work. We were learning about life cycles.

We have seen some very creative Minibeast art and craft.

Someone has been looking after caterpillars and one has turned into a butterfly.

I am sure you will continue to amaze us this week with all the wonderful things you are doing.

Here is this week’s learning grid.

Learning Grid week 9

This week we are practising the er sound in Phonics. Watch this clip to help you practise this sound.

If you have a dice you could play this er game. Throw the dice and whatever number you get, you have to read all the words in that line.

er dice game

Remember to have a look at our blog posts for Maths and Minibeasts today. The minibeast we are learning about this week has er at the end of its name. Can you guess what it is?

Have a good day. Enjoy your learning and try to share it with us if you can.
