Hello everyone

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

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.

Below is our new weekly Health & Wellbeing Challenge for you to try!

Food At Home

Here is the learning outcome –

• I can  investigate the range of foods available.
• I can discuss how they contribute to a healthy diet.

Watch this short this video which introduces healthy eating.

Learning activities:

Before starting any of the following activities, children and grown up should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water.

• The child should make a list of some foods they would like to eat at home.
• With help from a grownup, the child should devise one healthy meal that they could prepare.
• The grownup should talk to the child about what makes a healthy meal.
• The child can draw a picture of the meal.

You may want to encourage children to contribute to devising healthy meals over a week. They can be helped to identify what type of food is required.

If you can, take a photo of some  meals you have made over the week and share with your teacher.

P2 Teachers and Miss McDermott

Hello P2/1

Thank you for all the super robot pictures and stories that you’ve been sending.  This has been a very popular theme for Story Time  from Home this week.

Today there is a new blog page with a health and wellbeing challenge which myself and the P2 teachers hope to post every week as this is not something we have been including on our weekly home learning grids.  It is all about food and healthy eating so I do hope that over the next week you might be able to try it.

Here is the link to today’s robot story.  Unfortunately Tufty decided she would like to be in the video too and you will see her at the beginning, knocking over the camera again! Fortunately I do get to the end of the story eventually.

As it’s Wednesday I am back in the hub school today so please remember I won’t be immediately available for answering messages/queries.

Enjoy your day and remember it is important to get outside too.

Miss McDermott

Good morning Primary 2/1,  how good you are at listening ?

Today I am sending you a listening challenge which will also get you moving! Click on the link to hear an amazing violin player who will tell you about the challenge! You might need one or two tries as it’s quite fast and tricky! After you’ve tried it tell me what your favourite sound was, mine was the honking nose! Good listening!

Hello boys and girls

Here is the link to today’s story.  I am glad to hear that lots of you are enjoying the robot theme and that some people have even started making their own robots. This is a book that I have read before and it is one of my favourite robot stories – I do hope that you enjoy it too .

Below is a link to a “How to Draw a  Friendly Robot” video.

You might want to turn the sound down though – I think it is a bit annoying!

I am sure that you will have your own ideas for writing and drawing robots, so please remember that these are just ideas and suggestions that the teachers put on the blog pages.

Have fun whatever activities you choose to do and if you have any questions or problems, just send me an email and I’ll get back to you.

Miss McDermott

Thanks to everyone who tried making the climbing bug. If you have not yet tried it look back and have a go. I know that P2 have a minibeasts topic right now so this next challenge might be a nice activity to try too.

Good Morning, everyone.

Each week we will focus on a different Minibeast. This week we will find out about bees.

Here is a video about bees for you to watch.

This PowerPoint will give you more  information about bees and show you how to make your own Bee Fact File.

Enjoy your learning and share it with us if you can.

Have fun!

P. 2/1,  P.2A and  P.2B Teachers

Hello P2/1

Hope that you are all well after the weekend.

There are quite a few things for you to look at this week and I apologise to the grown ups that they can’t all be on one page so to speak. This is because the teachers are working as a team to do different parts of the planning.  I hope that you understand and bear with us on this – home learning is quite tricky for everybody as you know.

Today there is also a 3d shape page and minibeasts page for you to look at if you’ve time. Please remember these activities are for the whole week – not just for today! 

Thank you to everyone who tried the Come and Visit Scotland quiz last week.  After the positive feedback I have made another one with a “bear” theme  and I have used some of the bear facts that I learned from you –  so do look out for them if you did this challenge! Here is the link.

And here is the link to today’s Story Time from Home. This week the stories are all about robots and as I mention in the video I was given some super robots by two of the children in my street who are also watching the videos with their family. A big thank you to them – I’m sure you’ll agree that they look fantastic!

If you make a robot model this week, please do send a photograph – I’d love to see it.

Have a good day

Miss McDermott and the Robots!
