Join Mrs Davies and her own kids today and make your own cafe. Make a name for your cafe, write a menu detailing what foods are on offer and how much they will cost. We have decided that lunch will be toast and banana today and my mini chefs will be preparing and serving. Can’t wait to see if anyone joins us. I would love to see how creative you can be.

Hope everyone is well…. please try to log on to Sum Dog and try some of the fun activities. Mrs Lurinsky played along today!
Primary One-French
It has been lovely to see some paintings of rainbows on Twitter. If you create your own rainbows at home, add them to Twitter and your P1 teachers can see them. You can also use Education City, (parents, you’ll find it under subjects- French) to learn the rainbow song- L-Arc-en-Ciel.
Primary 2/1 SCIENCE
Hi there everyone! Mrs. Macandrew here. As I won’t be seeing you this week, here are the things we were going to talk about.
Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Energy
Wow whoever you are with – tell them what about what you already know about Energy! What does Energy do? Can you name any forms of Energy?
Do you remember what “Sustainable” and “Renewable” Energy means?
Today we are going to be looking at Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Energy
- Some Electricity is created by Nuclear energy. It is the energy stored inside some materials. Scientists have learned how to capture large amounts of energy from these forces that can then be used to generate electricity.
- Some Energy is created by using what we call Fossil Fuels. These are Coal, Oil and Natural Gas.
- Watch Fossil Fuels 101
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iubWN1cnwIs
- Watch the PowerPoint attached called “Energy Experts,” including doing the survey.
- Energy Experts
- Discuss your findings and your ideas with someone at home.
- Could you be saving Energy? How?
- To go over again – Can you name the three forms of Fossil Fuels?
- Next week – Non-Sustainable energy versus Sustainable Energy?
Have fun! See you here next week!
Primary 1 – Numeracy
Number Talks
Snack Time
Without counting how many stars does Mrs MacCallum have for her snack?
(* Information For parents – Children might say “I think 10 because I can see 5 and 5 and I know double 5 is 10.” or “I think 10 because I can see 4 and 4 and 2 more which is 10” “They may also say 20 because I know Mrs MacCallum likes to eat chocolate” or something else a bit random. The purpose is to begin to spot patterns that help with quick mental calculations. Children wont always get it correct first time and sometimes will just guess. So spend time together spotting patterns and discussing different ways you can get the correct answer.)
Numeracy – Subtraction
Mrs Macallum – begins to eat her snack. Can you write a number sentence to find the missing amount eaten by Mrs MacCallum?
Use your snack or toys to create subtraction problems for those in your house.
Working a home has it downside Mr MacCallum wants some snack. Can you help Mrs MacCallum share her snack equally?
How could we forget Baby Mac? His bowl is at the ready. Can you share the left over stars equally between 3?
Your turn- Share a given quantity equally of crisps, sweets, lego or building blocks with a parent and or sibling and make a number or letter.
Taking the learning outdoors
Don’t forget to get outdoors and get some fresh air.
Today our outdoor learning activity was collecting leaves from the grass in the back garden. We each had our own bag and collected as many leaves as we could. We then counted how many we had in our own bag and then counted how many we collected altogether as a family.
