Hello everyone

I hope that you are still enjoying the nice weather.  I am in the hub school today so won’t be able to respond to messages and emails.

If you haven’t already done so,  you can vote for your choice of story theme for the week beginning Monday 8th June.  You will need to click on the link below.

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:  Watch Jessie & Friends- Episode 2

 Find the Jessie & Friends cartoons at  https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/jessie-and-friends-videos/
 Watch Episode 2: Sharing Pictures with your child.
 Use questions to chat about the cartoon.

For example:
o How did lots of people end up seeing the pictures?
o What made Mo feel sad?
o How did the friends get help when they needed it?
o What did Miss Humphrey say she would do to help?

 Finish by watching the song again and having a sing-along!
Note: If your child wants to watch Episode 1 too, do watch it with them! It’s aimed at younger children, but it’s still fun to watch.

Activity 2:  Draw a character
 Ask your child to draw a picture of their favourite character singing the funny tummy song.
 Ask them to include their favourite lyrics from the song on their drawing.
 Remember – we’d love to see your work!

Hello everyone

I do hope that you are enjoying the nice weather this week and getting outside in the fresh air – maybe you are even spotting some minibeasts too!  I thought you might like to see this super photo that was sent to me yesterday.  You’ll need to use your good looking skills when you are out and about in Linlithgow to see if you can spot this creepy crawly too!

Here is the Story Time from Home Link for today.

I hope that you enjoy it and remember, please just do what you can with your home learning activities.

Hello boys and girls

I hope that you are all well.  I know that lots of you enjoyed last week’s robot stories so I thought that you might like this robot story that was on Newsround last week – it’s all about a robot sheepdog. Click on the link below to find out more.

I hope that you are enjoying learning about minibeasts. Now that the weather is getting better, there are certainly plenty of them in my garden but today’s story is about one of my least favourites – spiders! I’m not afraid of them  –  I just don’t like them in the house. What do you think?

Here is today’s Story Time From Home link.

Thank you again for all your messages and photos – you are all certainly keeping busy and doing lots of great things with your grown ups.

Miss McDermott

PS – I have added some new activities to Heinemann Active Maths and it seems to be ok this week!

Hello everyone,

Hope you had a good weekend even though the weather was rather wet and windy. You’ll not be surprised to find out that Jim and Matthew had to take the tent down on Friday when I was at the hub school  – it just about blew away like a giant balloon! I think the forecast for the week ahead is looking much better however so maybe we will be able to put it back up again. Sometimes we go and sit there and have lunch for a wee change rather than stay in the house. Jim and Matthew are doing their jobs from home too so we are all in the house together all day – so just like you and your families, we know it’s not easy.

Here is the link for today’s Story Time from Home which was safely filmed inside! This week’s stories are all about minibeasts.

As it’s the start of a new week there are extra blog pages today with the minibeast and maths resources. As I said last week, please remember that these activities are for all week – not just today! Please just do what you can when you can.

There were some problems with Heinemann Active Maths last week but hopefully these will now be resolved.  I will update the activities.  Sumdog appears to be working fine and the more popular of the two from the feedback I have received from parents.

Please continue to stay in touch and let me know how you are getting on and if you haven’t been in touch recently, please do send me a message soon – it would be lovely to hear from you.

Have a good day with hopefully some nicer weather!

Miss McDermott

Hello everyone

Thank you for all of the messages and photographs this week. As it’s Friday I am working in the hub school today so I won’t be replying to any messages until Monday.

Hello everyone

Here is the link to today’s robot story which is from my tent again!

https://vimeo.com/420770173

Hope you all enjoyed the nice weather yesterday.  If you didn’t see the last story from my tent, here is the link.  It’s called Camping Adventure and is all about Biff and Chip’s friends – Wilf and Wilma.

Please remember although there are lots of activities on the blog and home learning grid – just do what you can , when you can. These activities are for the whole week and not for any set day. I know you all have different things going on at home and it is not always easy to organise home learning.

Have a nice day whatever you choose to do!

Miss McDermott.
