Have a wonderful summer everyone, I can’t believe its the end of the school year, I have missed seeing you all everyday but you have been great at home learning. Well done !
Some parents have been asking if they could have some school work over the holidays for their children. We do want you to enjoy spending time together as a family and won’t be providing work as such, however as you can see the sway I created this week has lots of ideas for further learning if you wish to use them.
IDL and Education City will still be available, you can take time to get more familiar with the numeracy on IDL as we will be looking at that in August if you wish.
Carry on reading to your child and sharing books together asking them questions about what they have read, discuss who was your favourite character and why? Make predictions about what will happen next and talk about ‘wow’ words. You could if you wish, encourage children to write short letters to family members, keep a diary or help you to write a shopping list.
You could continue to reinforce learning by asking your child to tell the time, what time will it be in an hour? half an hour? Or count out collections of coins , put varying selections of coins in different purses, plates or bundles and getting your child to count collections and say which has the most or least. You could play shops and look at items on a menu or price list, get them to add items together or work out change. Talk about the importance of measurement and accuracy as it crops up in everyday life. If you are baking ask why is it important to measure accurately? Or if you are laying a new carpet, decking or putting up shelves ask them to think about why measurement is important. These real life learning opportunities are valuable and the time spent together in the garden or in the home working together are exceptionally beneficial.
If you wish to carry on learning from the sway the following may be useful.
| Summer challenge

Good morning Primary 1, its the last day of term!
Here is a story for us all to enjoy!
Look at the picture that Duncan drew at the end of the story using every colour in his crayon box, make a pile of all your colours at home and see if you can design and colour a picture using every colour too!
Be creative like Duncan, you could have a pink monster, blue strawberries or yellow trees!

Listen to the story, ‘Why Flamingos Stand on One Leg’, based on an African Folk Tale.
Now think about these questions…
Q1) Why were the crabs upset when the Flamingos arrived?
Q2) Why do the crabs do their morning maneuvers at the bottom of the lake?
Q3) Why did the Flamingos start lifting up one leg?
Q4) How was the problem solved?
Draw your own flamingo using your hand…if you don’t have paint, try drawing around your hand instead and then colour it in!
