Hello Primary 1,
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how proud I am of you all. It has been an pleasure to have been your Primary 1 teacher and I have loved creating memories that will last a life time with you all. Here is our very last story. I hope you enjoy it and I shall see you all when you are a bit bigger in Primary 2.
Love and best wishes from Mrs Lurinsky
Sorry today’s story is late. It has been a super busy day.
I hope you are enjoying all the bear activities on this week’s learning grid. Primary 1 – Themed activities
Please keep sharing all your fantastic work with us.
We can’t believe this is your last week in Primary 1. Be proud of how much you have achieved this year, we are all very proud of each and every one of you.
This week, we’ve added a grid with lots of activities related to bears! We hope you can try lots of these activities and have fun. At the end of the week, we would like you to celebrate the end of term by having your own Teddy Bear’s Picnic. Post your pictures, we would love to see them.
I hope you now enjoy this story about a family of bears. More stories will follow throughout the week.
This week’s drama is based around the animals at Edinburgh Zoo. Have a look at the videos of some of the animals on the zoo’s website here
https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/animals-and-attractions/main-attractions/
The page looks like this and each section contains a video you can watch.
After watching each video, pretend to be that animal. When pretending to be the animals think about
Other activities
As always I would love to see picture of your drama. Tag me on twitter cara_aikman (remember not to include your child’s name).
Good Morning P2/1,
I can’t believe we have reached the final week of our P2/1 journey. It’s been a great year with lots of fun moments even although latterly we faced a few challenges.
P2 – you have some last week fun activities to try on your grid week 11
P1 – Your activities will be a little different this week but will still be uploaded by the P1 teachers.
I am hoping to see as many of you collecting your end of year reports from school tomorrow (Tuesday 23rd June). Remember you have an allocated time to collect.
P2: 1.30-2.00pm
P1: 2.00-2.30pm
Enjoy your last week as a P2/1.
Hello P1 – Here are some fun activities for you to try today or on your last week as Primary 1.
Science – Investigating water
| Resources |
| · Ice cube tray (or a plastic cup/holder to freeze water in)
· Pot/pan/kettle · Bath/sink/back garden · Jackets made of different materials · A cup |
| Questions to explore |
| · What is happening to the water?
· Why is it happening? · What word is the right word for what is happening to the water- is it melting/freezing or boiling? · Can you predict what jacket will be best for the job we want? · Can you tell me why you think that? |
| Information you might want to record |
| · Put water into an ice cube tray- predict where they will freeze the best…why do you think that? Use the tray, once frozen, ask your child what they can use around the house to defrost each one quickly (maybe leave out some hair dryers/salt items that would work so that your child can easily choose/access) Take a photo of what you use for each cube and write down the time it takes beside it to melt.
· Take an ice cube out the freezer, is it solid/liquid? Ask an adult to put it into a pot and add heat on the cooker- what is going to happen to it? Does it stay solid? If you keep heating the water, what happens? Can you see anything coming from the pot? What is happening now? Can you draw the process from ice cube-water-steam? Add in the words frozen, melt, boil next to process. (If you don’t want to boil the water in the pot- use a kettle and watch what comes out of the spout as it boils) · Create/record a weather report with a difference- you are going to choose the right jacket to wear in different weather- warm and sunny, windy, raining. You can report on what jacket to wear in this weather and why- maybe demonstrate with a small cup of water why you have chosen that jacket for the rain. · If you don’t want to make a video- use your camera/phone to take pictures of what happens when you pour a small cup of water onto different materials. Do this is in the sink/bath otherwise you may get other areas in the house soggy! |
Technology – Creating animation
Download the app ‘Stop Motion’ and create your own cartoon using toys from your home. Try using lego, dolls house, teddy bears, play dough models etc. I had fun using this app and made the animals in our Sylvanian Family house move and also made our lego superheroes have a running race…. Batman won! I can’t wait to see what types of movies you will be able to create. Remember to share so your teachers and peers can see your wonderful creations.
Have fun.
Good morning Primary 1 we hope that you are all safe and well. We have loved seeing all of your hard work on Twitter. It really does make us smile. It is our last week of learning to tell the time. So far we have covered-
Days of the week , months of the year, seasons, calendars and o’clock times.
Today’s challenges are….
To create a sun dial.
Put the stick or pencil in the ground, or in a large piece of modeling clay, if your space is on a concrete or wooden surface. Observe the stick’s shadow carefully over the course of the day. Add a stone to your sundial for each hour, from sunup to sundown. Mark the exact spot where the shadow falls each hour.
To create your very own watch to tell o’clock times.
Design then create your own watch. Then use your watch to tell different o’clock times through out the day.
Time Challenge- What can yo do in 1 minute?
How many star jumps can you do?
How many knees up can you do?
How many times can you touch your toes?
How many times can you run up and down the garden?
Time is a tricky concept and will take lots and lots of practise so take it a step at a time. We cant wait to see all of your learning.
Good Morning Primary 1!
Can you believe you only have one more week left in Primary 1?
Task 1 – Everyone changes even your Primary 1 teachers. Can you guess which one is your teacher?
Task 2 – Listen to the story ‘When I was a Baby’ and listen and learn ‘The Growing Up’ song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPk8wAfZLIU
Task 3 – Start to reflect on some of the changes you’ve made already.
Task 4 – Watch the animation below and think about what you might like to be when you are older.
This would be a nice thing to draw and write about so you can look back on when you are older. When I grow up…
Hi everyone,
We hope you are keeping busy and that you are finding fun and interesting ways to do your work. We are still so impressed with all the work you have been completing so far and the time and effort you have been putting in to continue learning at home.
For numeracy today, we will be looking at adding and subtracting with a missing number!
The proper name for this is missing addends and subtrahends. Addends are the numbers you add together to get your answer. A subtrahend is the number you are taking away to get your total.
For the sum 1 + 2 = 3, both 1 and 2 are addends.
For the sum 5 – 4 = 1, 5 is the minuend and 4 is the subtrahend.
If we were trying to solve an equation and we know the answer is 5 then what could the sum be?
You could have
0 +5, 1 + 4, 2 + 3, 3 +2, 4 + 1 or 5 + 0 for adding, or if it was a subtraction sum, it could be anything from 6 – 1, 7 – 2, even 100 – 95.
When we remove a number, we are progressing our problem solving skills so we have to figure out what that missing number is.
2 + _ = 5
For this sum, I am going to use objects to help visual and count.
OO + _____ = OOOOO
Lay them out so you can see a space for your missing number/amount.
Place an object one at a time into the space and draw attention to whether or not the correct amount is there.
OO + O__= OOOOO
OO + OO_ = OOOOO
OO + OOO = OOOOO
Allow time to work out the answer by counting forward or splitting the total into the correct amounts. Some of you will automatically be able to see the amount that is required.
If they are confident with just objects, try a written equation using materials as well.
_ + 4 = 5
__ + OOOO = OOOOO
Write the sum and place the objects below. Again, allow time to work out the answer.
For subtraction, it is similar, but depending on which number is missing it can be slightly trickier.
__ – 4= 1
Allows you to think what is the larger number you need to take away 4 .
5 – __ = 1
Has you thinking of what number you subtract from 5 to get the answer.
You may find one easier than the other, however you can’t swap the placement around, otherwise you get a completely different sum!
Put your objects in the right order, leaving a space for the unknown number.
For missing minuend ( _ – 4 = 1), put an amount down and take away 4 to see if you get the right. Try the wrong number first. Mistakes are good!
OOOOOO – OOOO = O.
For missing subtrahend, (5 – __ = 1)
OOOOO – __ = O
remove an object one at a time until you are left with the same amount. What you have removed is your missing number.
Next progress to writing the equation and using materials to aid with subtraction.
We are using small number to gain confidence and to help with recognition of these types of equations. This will help with our problem solving skills and lead onto understanding that you can rearrange the equation so you can use subtraction to solve an addition equation and vice versa (e.g. 5 + _ = 9, I know 9 – 5 = 4, so the missing number is 4)
Good Morning everyone. I hope you are all well. Are you all managing to get out and about and really looking at the plants and flowers around us? If you see anything interesting when you are out, take a photo and upload it.
