I hope you have had a nice few days and have managed to get out and enjoy some of the lovely weather.

Have you ever heard that music has power?

Music is not only great to listen to but it can help in many ways. Music is great to dance to but also to help us relax. There are many different genres of music, that means different styles.

Do you know any different types of music? Have a listen to this  powerpoint. Which ones did you like the sound of?

A lot of research has been done and doctors believe music can actually help with our memory. Certain songs remind us of different times in our lives. Music can even help plants grow!

Do you have a favourite song?

Today ask the members of your family what their 3 favourite songs are. With the help of a grown up look up the songs and listen to to them. You could even make a family favourite playlist and have a dance party. Which ones do you like best?

I hope you have a lovely day.

Your Primary one teachers.

Hello P2/1

Thank you for all of your messages this week. I am glad to know that so many of you are still trying to do your best with your home learning as we get nearer and nearer to the summer holidays.

Here is the link to today’s Story Time from Home which is all about a rather naughty young wolf.  I think that I read this story in class last year (when the P2s were in P1!)  so some of you may have heard it before.  It does have a very important message which will help you to keep healthy which is one of the reasons I chose to read it this week.

Here is a link to a new website with a game for practising telling the time that you might like to try.  It is suitable for P1 and P2  – just select the level depending on what you can do already. Remember to select the 12 hour times.

Have a good day everyone and remember just do whatever you can.

Good morning Primary 3? Are you ready for a singing challenge?

This song is about some very strange folk and I would love to see your pictures of them after you’ve sung the song a few times!

This song  will  test your memory , concentration and co-ordination so good luck!

Good morning Primary 2 !

Is the sun shining? 

Let’s see if you can help it shine with a Wee Summer Sing!

I’m sure many of you will remember singing this song with me away back at the start of Primary 2! This time the actions are a bit different and a bit trickier, using your throwing, bouncing and catching skills! Just keep trying it until you can do it! You can have a go every time the sun comes out!

Good Morning Primary 2B,

I hope you had a lovely Marches day and enjoyed your day. It is lovely to have you back again Mrs Boyle and Mrs Mills missed you.

This week we are learning about keeping ourselves healthy and lots of you since you have been off school have told me that you have had a wobbly tooth  or lost a tooth. I thought we could learn about our teeth.

We could also find out some interesting facts about sharks teeth.

I have also included some pictures of the interesting things you have been doing at home . Look out for the caterpillars. Mrs Mills and Mrs Boyle love to see your pictures.

Have a fun day!

Mrs Boyle

Have a great day!

Good morning, everyone.

I hope you all had a wonderful Marches Day and had some fun with you families.  I went for a lovely, morning walk along the river and met lots of different dogs out walking.  It was slightly damp when I was out walking and when I got home my family thought I looked very funny and couldn’t stop laughing at me!  I didn’t know why they were laughing until I looked in the mirror – the dampness in the air made my hair go very curly and frizzy and my hair was double the size it was when I left the house!  I will need to remember to wear my hat when I go out in damp weather

I would like to say    Hello   to our friend in Switzerland!  We are all missing each other in our class and we are especially missing you in Switzerland.  We know you are having lots of lovely learning experiences with your family and we look forward to seeing you.

Here is a Mr Men story read by Adam Hargreaves.  Can you remember who Adam Hargreaves is?

Four years ago, in 2016, Mr Men and Little Miss had a pop-up exhibition in London to celebrate the brand’s 45^th birthday.  I thought you would like to see this.

Next year, in 2021, it will be their 50th birthday.  I wonder what they will do celebrate that?

Have a lovely day.

Mrs Herbison

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a nice day yesterday on Marches Day.

Here is a link to a little activity that I saw on another school’s blog which I thought looked great fun. It has nothing to do with health but is all about racing caterpillars and it is really simple because you only need;

• paper
• pens
• scissors
• 2 straws

Below is the link to today’s Story Time From Home.  I’m sure lots of you will enjoy this story as I have read this one before in class and we had a great time at the beginning of the school year making our own Supertatos.

Hope you all have a super day!
