For the next two weeks, we will be focusing a lot of 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.
Here is our learning grid for this week: Home Learning Grid Week 11
Each day we will be posting a Health and Well-being activity for your to challenge yourself with at home, and remember to send us a quick email to let us know what you love to do to stay healthy or just to say hi.
Here are some other resources to help with your learning grid:
Numeracy:
Suggested Practical Activities to Explore 3D Shapes
3D Shape Animal Paper Net Templates
You could also use this as a template to do a 3D Shape Hunt around the house/garden:
Literacy:
Listening to and Following Instructions Activities

I hope you all have a superb week!
Take care,
Your P1 Teachers 😀
Good morning primary one. I hope you have had a good week. Again I want you to know how impressed and proud I am at all the activities you have been doing this week. You have been working so hard and have been so creative.
I was talking to my friend in France yesterday. I was lovely chatting to her and seeing her on the video chat. I wonder if any of you have done that with friends or family?
Can you remember how they say hello in France? Here is a little song and dance about saying hello in different ways. Can you work out what countries the different hello’s are from?

I hope you have a lovely weekend when it comes and fingers crossed the sunshine comes out to say hello.
Take care, stay safe.

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 😀
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.

Hello everyone,
Here is the last Story Time From Home for this week.
No interruptions today from Tufty!
I hope that the weather is nice and that you all have a good weekend with your families.
Miss McDermott 
I hope you are having a good week. I have loved seeing the photos you have been sending in, keep up all the fantastic activities you have been doing. They look great!
A lot of fairy tales have an element of magic in them and although we can’t cast spells like them , we can become scientists. Some experiments that scientists do are so clever and quite magical!
Here are a few experiments you can try at home with a grown up.

There are lots more on here.

Please let us know if you do any. We would love to see how you budding scientists get on!
Have a lovely afternoon.

Today, or whenever you have time, perhaps you could play some games to improve your listening skills.
Games where you have to listen, wait and then react, or listen and make a decision are good at improving not only listening, but processing skills too.
Here are just a few games you could play at home:
Hurrah-Boo!
Ask your child to listen carefully to statements you are about to make. If it is a nice statement, e.g. “Everyone gets an ice-cream!”, they shout HURRAH! If it is not so nice, e.g. “Dinnertime is cancelled.”, they say BOO!
I Say – Go!
This game is similar to Simon Says. Ask your child to follow explicit instructions. The catch is, they have to wait until you say “Go!” before they can carry out the instruction. To increase the difficulty, leave a longer gap between the instruction and saying go!
Thumbs Up Thumbs Down
Read out a list of statements. Your child has to listen carefully and decide if the statement is true or false, showing you what they think by putting their thumbs up or down.
I Went to the Shops and I Bought…
I’m sure you know this game – the first person says “I went to the shops and I bought an apple.” then the next person has to say, “I went to the shops and I bought an apple and a boat.” The aim is to listen carefully to the people before you so you can remember what they have said. To make it trickier, you could try to do this choosing items in alphabetical order. If it is too tricky to remember, you could encourage your child to draw a quick pic of each item as you go.
We hope you enjoy practising your listening skills!
Take care,
Your P1 Teachers
Hello everyone,
Here is the link to today’s story. The book was written by Nick Butterworth who is famous for writing the Percy the Park Keeper stories. I haven’t read this story in class before so it may be one you are not familiar with. It includes a very nasty rat but a lovely ending – I do hope you like it as much as I do ( and Tufty does – as you will see fom the video!)
Miss McDermott 
Good afternoon everyone,
How is your week going? Have you done anything you are especially proud of? Well done if so! You are doing very well learning at home and sending all your teachers wonderful updates on fun activities you have taken part in. We really love hearing from you!
Bennie is feeling a little tired today I think – he has been sleeping on the windowsill (it is quite wide!) all morning…
I know that lots of you enjoy listening to stories, just like I do, and so I have attached a link to a BBC radio website where you can listen to short stories – Click here to listen to The Hare and The Tortoise!
If you have time, listen to ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’ with an adult and then together you could see if you can figure out what the moral of the story was?
This story is a famous fable. A fable is a short story, usually with animals as the characters, that shares something called a moral. Morals are a bit like messages or reminders to behave in the ‘right’ way – to be kind, to share, to tell the truth, to help others, and other things that I know you are all very good at already.
There are more fables to listen to on the BBC School Radio website, although some of them can be a touch scary (in my opinion!) so if you want to check a story’s content before playing it for your child, there is an option underneath each story to read the full transcript!
Have a lovely afternoon P1, we miss you.

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!
Hello boys and girls
Here is the link to today’s Story Time From Home which I hope you enjoy.
Miss McDermott
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!
Good morning P 1 and P 2/1 , today I want you to do some
