Good morning Silver Class!
Some ideas for today’s timetable if you are following along at home.
Literacy
Let’s practise some writing today, The Silver class looove writing in different materials.
You can try shaving foam
Or try salt, sand, rice, paint – anything at all. Your imagination is your only limit 🙂
Can you try writing your name? How many pictures can you draw? Maybe you could try some numbers too? It’s messy and it’s fun!
PE
Try some of Gerry or Pedro’s ideas on the blog.
Remember there is also Joe Wicks on YouTube and also Oti Mabusa online too – take this time to have some fun and learn a new dance moves 🙂
Story

Art
Make a rainbow!
Rainbows are bringing people together during this difficult time. Let’s get involved Silver class! I want to see your best rainbows 🙂 You can colour, paint, use strips of materials/felt/tissue, use window chalk or paint, whatever you can find. 🙂
   
Science
The Glasgow Science Centre are posting science videos each day at 10am on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. Each one will be available on their Youtube channel so don’t worry if you don’t catch it live.

Health and Wellbeing (HWB)
Time to get out the house! Go out into your garden or out for a walk. Take a note (either write it down or just tell an adult) – what can you see? What can you smell? What can you hear?
Come up with as many things as possible. This is called being “mindful” and it is very good at keeping us calm and in the moment. It’s important to be as mindful as possible just now and enjoy the moment.
Have a lovely day everyone.
Amy
Story Time for the Orange Class – until Friday 3rd April
Jack and the Beanstalk
Please find bellow a link to short – 3 minute, easy to follow videos about Jack and the Beanstalk for the Orange Class to watch. There is a sequencing exercise you could try at the bottom.
Jack and the Beanstalk
Jack and the Beanstalk video clips
When you have finished all of the episodes you could try sequencing the story.
If your child finds it hard, you could fill in most of the answers and leave only one or two gaps. Then you could rinse and repeat!
A pdf is available here.  jack_sequencing
If you have a printer you could print the pdf file, cut out the pictures with your child and glue the pictures on to card.  You could then carry out the sequencing many times making it easier or harder as appropriate.
Have fun! David
Wednesday 25th of March
Good morning Pink Class!
Let’s see what we could do today.
First of all let’s get singing with our families! Wakey, wakey!
Calendar –
Let’s think about days of the week today. Can you teach someone in your family our days of the week song? Can you teach them our signs?
Movement –
Check out the movement section. There are some great activities posted here.
Lifeskills –
Use the Tablespoon Biscuit recipe from your home learning pack to make some yummy biscuits. After all of this movement you deserve a yummy treat!
Literacy –
Try one of the sound/literacy tasks from your pack.
Practise writing the letters of the alphabet (use different colours for each letter).
P.E.-
Check out the P.E. section for some ideas or play a game in your garden.
Story –
Today why don’t you develop your listening skills and tune in to David Walliams reading one of his stories. He reads a new story every day at 11am. Each story is around 15 to 20 minutes long.
Art –Â
Children are being asked to paint or draw a rainbow and put it in a window at the front of the house. During this time of social distancing, families can go for a walk and children can look for rainbows!
Science –
We have been looking at water in the Pink Class.
Let’s do a floating and sinking experiment.
Find 10 things around your house. Do you think they will float or sink when you put them into water? Guess then experiment. Were you right? Why/why not?
 
HWB –
Look for healthy food choices in your fridge or cupboard.
Can you eat 4 healthy foods today? I’m going to try this too!
Today’s challenge –
Indoor scavenger hunt, Get someone to time you. Challenge someone in your family to do it faster!
Have fun today Pink Class!
