Hello P2/1
I hope that you had a nice weekend.
Here is the result from the Story Time From Home vote. There were 48 replies and as you can see it was very close.
I am delighted to say that the winning theme was cats and as you know I have lots of super cat books and I will enjoy sharing some of these with you this week. Today’s story includes dogs and cats and is from a series of books that you might already know.
Here is the link.
Have a good day.

Hello everyone
I can hardly believe that it is the end of the first week in June already. Thank you all for continuing to do your best and for sending me all the super pictures and messages with your grown ups help of course! This week I have loved reading your fairy tale stories – you are doing a great job at home and although I am working in the hub school, I am really missing seeing you all and I know you must be missing each other too.
This is the link for today’s Story Time from Home. It is about a very cheeky princess and I am so glad that she isn’t in our class! I hope that you enjoy it.
You might have already have heard about this competition for Marches Day but I thought I would include the information for you in case you haven’t. It might be a good thing to do on a rainy day!
To enter the competition you need to send a photo to the email mentioned but you could send me a picture too.
The link below is to a Facebook video the Deacons Court have posted about making bunting which might help you.

Tomorrow should have been Newlands Day in Bathgate so I have got bunting outside my house and last weekend Jim and I made a rainbow wishing well for the garden. Tufty and Cleo have liked playing with the bunting as it is flapping in the wind – here are a few photos
Have a nice weekend even if the weather isn’t so good and remember to check Twitter later today for this week’s Awesome Achievers.

Hello everyone,
Here is the link to today’s Story Time From Home.
There are lots of other fairy tales that you will know and can read or watch as videos that might help you with your writing this week.
Thank you if you voted for next week’s story theme – the result was very close and I will share it with you on Monday.
I am working in the hub school again today so I won’t be replying to emails and messages until Friday.
I hope that you have a good day whatever you choose to do.

Hello P2/1
I hope that you are all well.
As it is Wednesday there is also a Health and Wellbeing blog post today with an activity for you to do with your grown ups if and when you’ve time.
Thank you to everyone who has voted for next week’s Story Time From Home theme. It is very close between the two choices. The vote closes at lunchtime today so if you’ve not voted you can still do so. Here is the link again.
You will need to wait until Monday to find out the winning choice!
I thought some of you might also like to try another Kahoot quiz. I made this one for the boys and girls at the hub school as part of our Disney theme. Click on the link below and put in your name and you should be ready to play!

Here is the Health and Wellbeing Challenge for this week.
Learning Outcomes
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.

Hello boys and girls
Here is the link to Wednesday’s Story Time From Home.
Thank you to everyone who has already voted for the theme for next week’s story. It is looking very close!
If you haven’t already voted, you can still do so up until Wednesday lunchtime so here is the link again.
Have a good day and thank you for continuing to watch and listen to the stories!
Miss McDermott
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
Hello everyone,
Since the weather is still nice, today’s Story Time from Home is from my garden rather than my house for a wee change.
I hope you enjoy you it!
Miss McDermott
Hello everyone
I hope that you had a good weekend and are all well. Here is the link for the first Story Time from Home in June.
This week’s stories all have a fairy tale theme. If you have not already voted for next week’s theme you can still do so. Click on the link below to find out more.

Hello everyone
I hope that you had a nice weekend.
Today I have posted a special video to help with this week’s maths but it wasn’t made by me – this time it’s Mrs Menmuir! She made it for the P1 classes but as this week we are also learning about data handling I thought it would be nice for you to see it and try out some of the super ideas that she will show you. We have already done some data handling in our maths workbooks so it will good for you do some practical things like Mrs Menmuir suggests and also to try some online activities.
I know that some have you already been on the BBC Karate Cats website but this week I would like you to try the data handling activities. On this website, they are called statistics but this is just really another word for the same data or information. It is a good idea to start at bronze level first. Here is the link.
Below is the link for the first of this week’s Story Time from Home videos which is all about fairy tale characters.
There is still time to vote for the theme for next week’s story if you have not already done so. Please click on the link below for more details.
Hope you have a good day – remember, please just do whatever activities you can over the coming week.
Miss McDermott
