Morning P3 children, parents & carers,

Hope you are enjoying your snow day and get a chance to go out and have some fun in the snow.  If you get bored of the snow, remember there are lots of snow day activities for you to complete on the blog and any work you do can be brought  in and shared with the class when we return. I have re-posted the P3 Winter Ready post below.  Here are some other activities you could try:

• draw or paint a snowy picture, read a book, make up a dance to a favourite song, watch a film and review it.
• Practise your times tables. You have been enjoying playing the times table games on Topmarks https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/7-11-years/times-tables  They have lots of good Literacy games too.  http://www.ictgames.com/ is another good site to try for literacy and maths games.
• Miss McLennan has created a school Sumdog Competition. Why don’t you log in to Sumdog and give it a go!

• As we are missing our Pumphie book day you could design a new cover for a favourite book – remember to include the title, author and illustrator(you).  You could also write your own blurb for the back of the cover.

You can post photos of you having fun in the snow or any other activity you do today. I’d love to see them. Have fun!

Good morning boys and girls!

I hope you have had some fun in the snow!

Have you been watching any good films on the TV and keeping warm?

Who was your favourite character? What was it about them that you liked? Draw a detailed picture about your favourite character and write some sentences about why you liked them.

Sumdog: remember there is still your weekly challenge to be completed on Sumdog so go on and have a go!

Comparing Scotland with Bangladesh.

I am busy looking over your scripts and I am putting that together for you to have a look at tomorrow.

Why don’t you do some research on another one of the areas? The things we have been comparing are: populations, education, religion, clothes, food and animals.

Draw a detailed picture of Bangladeshi traditional costume or animals that are native to Bangladesh. because we are still needing more pictures for our assembly powerpoint.

 

Enjoy the snow

Good morning everyone!

As part of our continued learning, here is a list of some other activities you could complete at home:

• Research some information on your group’s area of China.
• Think about how you will design the pop-up page to demonstrate your understanding of the topic you researched.
• Take part in the Sum Dog competition that has been put on today.
• Use your line drawing skills to draw an image from a book or magazine, or go online and find a step-by-step drawing guide like the one we used for the Koi Carp.
• Write a book review that you could include in your First Minister’s Reading Challenge record when you return to school.
• Challenge someone to build a snow animal!

Or try out some of the activities on the attached sheet: P7-Winter-Ready

You could also work on information for your Didbook profile by creating a paragraph for each of the following headings:

MY PLANS

Have fun and stay safe in the snow!

Good morning little ones and parents too!

I have re-attached our Winter Ready activities to save you scrolling back to previous posts. If you are looking for things to do today, try some of them! Bring anything you have done with you to school :).

I’m really disappointed that I couldn’t get to see your fantastic World Book Week costumes, so if you feel like taking pictures or posting photos on our school pages, I would love to see them!

• Try reading something new today – it could be a new story, information book, leaflet or newspaper!
• We have been reading ‘Matilda’ in class and learning about different types of characters. Miss Honey is a ‘nice’ character and Miss Trunchbull is very definitely a ‘nasty’ character. Try creating your own ‘nice’ and ‘nasty’ characters at home – think about them, draw pictures or make puppets!
• You now have your Sumdog passwords in the front cover of your homework diary. We have been learning to log in on our own, so if you can, try again! Miss McLennan has set up a school contest.  Look on the left hand side of the page (when logged in) for a button that says ‘Snow Day’. Click it and click ‘Snow Day competition’. You can only take part in the competition once you have completed the assessment at the top of the log in screen! Play that to unlock your first pet and new games :)!
