Nursery to Primary 1 Transition
Good morning everyone.
As part of our Nursery to Primary 1 transition, involving both Nursery and P1 pupils, each day this week a video to introduce the P1 staff will be uploaded to our new youtube channel. This is a great opportunity for both groups of pupils to meet/catch up with their teacher reading a story. We hope you enjoy them.
Follow this link to the video:
To Infinity and Beyond! P1 Drama
On Saturday a spaceship took off in America headed for space. You can watch the launch here.

Drama Activities
Imagine you are an astronaut headed on this mission. Act out the following –
- Pack a bag to take with you into space – what will you bring? You can use props.
- It’s the morning of your mission. Get dressed in your space suit – you will need a helmet, a spacesuit and space boots. Is it easy to move in? Try to walk about the room.
- You are sitting in the space rocket (with your seat belt on of course!) and the countdown begins. 10, 9, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0!! The rocket takes off. What would you say? What will your face and body look like?
- The rocket is now in space. There is no gravity in space so you are very light (your feet don’t stay on the ground!). Show how you would move about.
Just For fun
Would you like to be an astronaut? The girl in this video would!

I would love to see photos of you taking part in the drama activities. Tag me on twitter @cara_aikman (remember not to include your child’s name). Enjoy!
PRIMARY 1 READING
We hope you all enjoyed Fitness Fortnight. Your teachers certainly enjoyed trying lots of different activities,
This week, I wonder if you can create your own puppet show.
Choose a book and then make puppets for each of the characters in your story. You may also create the setting for the story too. I wonder where it takes place, is it the farm, the zoo, the woods or in Fairyland?
What can you use to create puppets? In class we often draw the characters, colour them, cut them out and add to a stick. You can also make puppets from paper bags, wooden spoons or even socks! We can’t wait to see what story you decide to re-tell.
Here are some ideas for making puppets.
Some parents have also asked for more keywords. I’ve added 3 sheets with more keywords, these are quite tricky so only use them if you already know all your words. They really are a challenge.
How many of these words can you find in your books at home?
Many of you are already really good at blending your sounds to read words. There are lots of sheets added here to help you practise blending. Cut out a strip at a time, muddle the words and then see if you can put them together to create a sentence. Remember the clues to look for- a capital letter will be at the beginning and a full-stop will be at the end. You can draw a picture of your sentence.
I’ve also added some sheets where you need to cut out the letters and then see if you can make the 3 letter words.
I hope you’ve still been managing to look at books on Oxford Owl. Here are this week’s books. Choose the best book for your level.
Remember, these are some ideas to help you with your reading, choose your favourite activities and share your learning on Twitter or on Online Learner’s Journals.

P2/1 Welcome to June
Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoyed Fitness Fortnight with the activities set by Mr Tennant. It was great to see some children participating and having lots of fun.
P2 – Here is the new P2 home learning grid – week 8 1.6.20 . We have changed it a little and the grid will now have 1 literacy activity, 1 Numeracy activity and 2 other activities for each day. The grid will still be issued on a Monday and you can complete the activities at a time which suits your family best. You do not need to complete all activities and some of them you might try out more than once. Remember to share any activities you do with me on Twitter. I have also set some assessments on Sumdog and Education City if you want to have a go.
P1 – Your daily learning experiences will continue to be issued by the P1 teachers. I love to see what you are doing so remember to share with me on Twitter. I have also set you an assessment on Sumdog for this week.
Have a great day,
Mrs Davies
Daily Challenges Task
Morning everyone, today’s task is to have a go at the below challenges which I have been setting over on Twitter. Some will take real determination and concentration! Can you choose something from the picture below which describes what you are working on in each video? Listen carefully during each clip as there may be a clue!

Health and Wellbeing Check-in Form
Good morning everyone. Please click on the link below to access the Wellbeing Check-in Form discussed in Friday’s assembly. As I mentioned, it is really important that our pupils complete this form so that we know if there is anything else we can do to support their wellbeing at this time. The deadline for completion is Friday 29th May.
