Good Morning – 10.06.2020

Good Morning Primary 1,

As  schools are closed it means that we will not get any school trips this year. All the Primary One teachers had been thinking about a summer trip and were considering Edinburgh Zoo.

As we can’t go, I wonder if you would like to have a look at the animals on the webcams. See what animals you can spot. There are 6 different cameras at the moment so you can see lions, koala’s as well as pandas and penguins.

https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/webcams/panda-cam/

You could create a pictogram of the animals that you see, write a story and draw a picture or find out some amazing animal facts.

They also have lots of fun activities to complete on Wild about June such as create your own memory game, have a scavenger hunt, make a leaf crown or even create a stone snake.

Here is the link:

Today could be like a school trip even when you are at home. Have a fun day at the zoo Primary 1!

3a Wed 10.6.20 Good Morning

 

Good morning, everybody.

I got a bit of a fright when I typed in the date. I can’t believe we’re almost half way through June. After this week, we only have two more weeks left of this term – and of Primary 3. I’ve been a teacher for 32 years and I’ve never experienced a year like this!

You know that I’m not very good with IT. To be honest, I’m hopeless, but I’m glad I’ve been able to keep in touch with you all via email and this blog. Please keep the emails coming.

Just for fun…

P2a P2b & P2/1 Health & Wellbeing – Wednesday 10th June

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: Quiz time!
 Rewatch Jessie & Friends Episode 2: Sharing Pictures at

https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/jessie-and-friends

 If you have access to a printer, print the Sharing Pictures quiz and ask your child to fill it in with your support.
No printer?    Read the questions and answer choices out loud and ask your child to tell you the answers.

 After finishing the quiz, talk to your child about how sometimes things that happen online can make us feel worried, scared or sad – just like Jessie, Tia and Mo in this episode. Tell them that if anything ever worries or upsets them, they can always come to you or another trusted adult for help, no matter what.

Activity 2:  Draw what makes you feel happy!

 Jessie, Tia and Mo love playing superheroes – it makes them feel happy.
 Take a sheet of blank paper and help your child fold it into quarters. Open the paper up again. There are now four spaces on the paper.
 In each space, ask your child to draw themselves doing something that makes them feel happy – a total of four different activities. These could be things they like to do on their own, or activities they enjoy with friends or family.
 They can write what they are doing under each picture if they’d like.
Remember –  we’d love to see your work!

P2/1 – Wednesday 10th June

Hello boys and girls

I hope you are all well and mangaing to do some home learning for your grown ups this week. I know it isn’t easy as it is such a long time now since you have been at school and had to sit quietly at a table in the classroom.  Hopefully you are all still trying to do your best and do something every day, at least for a little while. Remember to keep in touch with me even if you just want to say hello and have a little chat!

Here is the link to today’s Story Time from Home. You can see from the front cover it is another robber story but this time it isn’t the cats that do the stealing!

You still have time to take part in the competition for The Marches bunting.  Here is the information poster again in case you didn’t see it on Friday.

Please remember as it is Wednesday that there is also Health and Wellbeing blog page today.  You will need a grown up to help you with this task .

Hope you have a good day!

Good Afternoon!

I hope everyone is keeping well and still smiling.

My children were set a fun challenge yesterday and I wondered if you would manage it. They had to see how many bits of clothing (including hats and scarves) they could get on in 30 seconds. Harry managed 8 and Lily managed 7. They found it easier with big clothes, so they used lots of mine! We had lots of laughs doing it.

Maybe you could challenge your family to do the same?

Good luck!

Music Time with Mrs McWhirter

Good morning  Primary 3! Are you good at tidying? I have been tidying up all my  kitchen cupboards and sorting out my wardrobe while I’m at home.

Now I would  like to sort out the instruments in the Music Room! Maybe you could help me get started? I want to sort them by how they are played, some are blown, some are hit, some are plucked and some are shaken! See if you can sort the instruments in the picture . Then maybe you can add some of your own?

Which group do you like best?

Morning Nursery!

Now that the seasons are changing from Spring to Summer, the trees are covered with green leaves and lots of flowers are beginning to blossom with lovely colourful flowers, here are some I have in my garden or have seen while out for a walk. The pictures are of purple and white petunias; red roses; yellow marigolds and orange chrysanthemums.

Why don’t you have a look in your garden or when out on your travels for different colours of flowers in your area. Ask a grown up to tell you the name or if they don’t know you can take a photo and research the name at home. Count how many different colours and species you can find. You can use the ‘PlantSnap: Identify Plants’ app to identify the flowers.

Maybe you could draw some lovely colourful flowers to show us, Mrs Hawthorn. Colours of flowers

 

P2A Tuesday, 9th June

Good morning, everyone.

I hope you all had a lovely Monday.

Can you remember being a pirate at the beginning of P2?  Here is a video to help you learn the    ar    sound.

I thought about all of the Mr Men and Little Miss stories.  I could only think of one story that had the   ar   sound.  Can you think of the story?

I can’t find a video of it but I did find this story.  I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Have a lovely day.
