Good morning,

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.

Here are this week spellings.

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.

Have a great day,

Mr Brice

Hi Primary 3,

This week my story for you is ‘Paddington Bear’.

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

1. Where does Mrs Brown say Peru is?
2. Why do they call the bear Paddington?
3. Where do the Brown’s live?
4. How does Lucy describe Mrs Bird?
5. What was the first thing Paddington did in the bathroom?
6. 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:

Good Morning, everyone!

This week we are learning about food chains. Here are some resources to help you.

This website will give you some information about food chains.

Here is a game to play to help your learning.

http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/content/animals/kidscorner/games/foodchaingame.htm

This Powerpoint is all about Farming in Scotland.

Farming in Scotland

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.

Have fun learning about food chains.

P2/1, P2A and P2B Teachers

Good Morning, everyone.

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.

Mrs Mills

Hello P2/1

I hope that you are all safe and well and have had a nice weekend.

First of all here is the link to the Time activities for the rest of the week. There are lots of things within this document and you are not expected to do them all.  Please just choose some and do them whenever you can.

TIme Ideas

Here is the link to today’s Story Time from Home.

https://vimeo.com/428961189

This week there is no story writing.  You have to write and draw about ways that you can keep healthy.  Remember – the stories I read throughout the week might give you some ideas for this.

Tomorrow as you know is Marches Day in Linlithgow so there won’t be any blog post or Story Time From Home.  Below is a super picture of some bunting made by one of the boys in our class for this special day.

I’m sure it will look great in the window! I hope you all have a fantastic day and maybe do something special.

Fingers crossed the sun shines too!

Good morning everybody,

I hope your week has been really lovely and that you are looking forward to the weekend. As always, I have been incredibly impressed with all your hard work this week and with the creative, fun and active things you have been sending me photos of. You are all very special and should be so proud of what you are doing.

Well done for working on telling the time this week, here is a short video programme about telling the time to o’clock that you could watch today if you have time: Click here to watch NumberTime on YouTube!

Have a fabulous weekend when it comes,

Take care,

From Mrs Jamieson 😀

Happy Friday, everyone!

I hope you have all had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend.  I am going to visit my family and have fun sitting in the garden with them.  What are you going to do this weekend?

Here is another of my favourite Mr Men stories.  The end of it always made me laugh when I read it to you in class.  I hope you enjoy watching it.  I just love the original stories!

Here is another favourite – Numbertime.  We all loved to watch El Nombre.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend with your families.

Mrs Herbison

Good Morning Primary 1,

I hope that you have all had a good week. I love seeing photographs of you all, it makes me smile. For the last two weeks of school, we will be focusing on Health and Wellbeing. There will be lots of fun activities to work your body and your brain.

Have a great weekend, hopefully we get some sunshine.

Mrs Menmuir

Good Morning Primary 2B,

I hope you are all well and glad it’s Friday.

Today I thought that we could use a timer today to learn about minutes.

Can you try to time yourself doing lots of activities and see how long it takes. I have put a link to a 1 minute timer or you could use a phone with a timer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sefjgYZ0eww

How many times can you hop in a minute?

How many star jumps can you do in a minute?

How many animals can you name in a minute?

How many cartoon characters can you do in a minute?

How many times can you write your first name?

Can you think of some other things you can do in a minute?

Watch this video where they try to work out how long a minute is.

Here are some examples of some great work I have seen this week.

Have a lovely weekend and hope the sun shines.
