Music Time with Mrs McWhirter

Good morning Primary 1 and Primary 2/1

Have you ever wanted to be in a band?

I wonder what instrument you would choose to play?

There is one thing you have to be good at in a band and that is keeping a steady beat and I know how well you can do that. Just to make sure I hope you are all ready to keep the beat with me using a new resource!Click on the link and find a song called Be in the Band! Next, find an instrument or something safe to tap or simply use your hands to clap or other parts of your body to keep the beat. I hope you have fun!

I would love to see a picture of you playing your favourite instrument in your band or try this colouring sheet.

Hello everyone

Hope you are all safe and well and had a little break from home learning at the weekend.

I hope that you will enjoy this week’s learning activities and I love hearing how you are all doing your own things too – your grown ups are all being very good teachers and keeping you all busy!

Below is the link to the first Story Time from Home for this week and as usual it is linked to the writing activity. I have also included a little reading challenge on this week’s video so watch carefully!

You can read lots of super books on the Oxford Owl website.  I have attached a link to the website and an instruction sheet with our class login if you want to have a look.

Story Time From Home – Friday 24th April

Good morning everyone from sunny Bathgate! Hope it’s a nice day in Linlithgow too.

Here is the link to the last of this week’s dragon stories. Please make sure that you watch right to the end as I had to add a little bit on!

I think my favourite story  this week has been Dragon Stew but I did feel very sorry for the dragon when the Vikings were poking and hurting him.  At least he got his own back in the end.

Please check Twitter later today for this week’s awesome achiever’s.  You’ll need to use your really good looking skills as remember I can’t include and names or photographs of your lovely faces!

Stay safe and enjoy the weekend.

Story Time from Home – Thursday 23rd April

Hello everyone! Did you find the connection between today and a dragon story? If you were at school in England you would probably know this because St George is the special saint of England just like St Andrew is our special saint here in Scotland. Another name for this is the patron saint. I wonder if you can find out any other patron saints?

Below is a link to a short video all about St George and the dragon which I think you might enjoy.

And here is the link to today’s story time from home which is all about dragons. I hope that you enjoy this too and have started to think about what you could write for your own dragon stories.

Below is a photograph of some planet Earth crafts that some boys made at the hub school in Bathgate with me yesterday.  Don’t they look great?

The words at the bottom say reduce, reuse and recycle.

Thank you again for all your photos and messages. I will share some of these on Twitter at the end of the week but please remember grown ups I can’t post any  photographs with  faces or names.

Story Time from Home – Wednesday 22nd April Earth Day

Leave a comment

Here is today’s Story Time from Home link.  I have chosen this story not just because it’s about dragons but because today is  Earth Day and the story is about caring, sharing and working together.

Below is also a short powerpoint explaining a little bit about Earth Day and a little activity you might want to do about  looking after the planet Earth.

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/us-t-318-earth-day-powerpoint

Even if you can’t print the activity off, I am sure you could make your own version and maybe you could even send me a photograph if you are able to.

Today I am working at one of the hub schools in Bathgate so I won’t be able to reply to any emails or messages immediately – please be patient  though and I will get back to you when I can !

Music Time with Mrs McWhirter

Hi everyone  from Mrs McWhirter. I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and enjoyed the sunshine! I am missing seeing and hearing  you all but I hope we can have some musical fun and learning here!

I hope you enjoy this song all about the lovely flowers coming out just now and many more images of the wonderful world! I think some of you will already know this song and can sing along.

My favourite part is the Boom de anna bit which is repeated many times and you could clap along to that part or tap your knees or find something safe in your house to use as a drum. A cardboard box can make a great sound and wooden spoons can be tapped together a bit like our claves! Please always ask before you try to make sure it’s safe!

Another thing you could try is writing your own verse about what you like. I would love to read some of your ideas here so please get song writing! Here’s my verse, try and sing it!

I like the Springtime, I like the blossom trees

I like the garden , I like the bumble bees

I like the sunlight shining down on me

Boom de anna boom de anna boom de anna boom de anna

Good luck!

Story Time from Home – Tuesday 21st April

Hello everyone

Wow! What a lot of messages yesterday! I am so glad to hear that everyone is geting on well and having a go at all the home learning tasks. The photos that you have been sending are fantastic and it is lovely that I can now see some of your lovely smiley faces again!

Here is the link to today’s dragon story and underneath it is a link to a youtube video about how to draw a dragon that you might want to try.  We have used some of these videos in the classroom for drawing thistles and a Scottie dog.  Remember it is a good idea to keep pausing the video as you draw.

It is a lovely sunny day here in Bathgate and hopefully it will be in Linlithgow too,  so maybe you’d rather get outside and keep the dragon drawing for another day!

Welcome back from Mrs Webster!

Good morning, Boys and Girls.

Welcome back to a new term. I am really missing you all.

I hope you have all had a lovely Easter break. Maybe you have been enjoying the sunshine or playing in the garden? I would love to know what you have been doing!

I have had a lovely Easter. I have been in my garden and have even been bouncing on the trampoline with my little boy! I have also been doing fitness programmes and dancing to keep healthy. I have been speaking with my family and friends on the phone. I also take shopping to my Mum and Dad because they cannot leave the house.

I hope you will send me some of your news or show me some of the things you have been doing too!

Take care and keep smiling!

Mrs Webster
