Relax Kids Calm Booklet

Leave a comment

As we look forward to welcoming our pupils back to school and nursery next week, I thought I would share the ‘Back to Calm with Relax Kids’ booklet for parents.

As children may be worrying or feeling anxious about returning to school or nursery, this booklet contains good information and activities for parents to work on with their children to help prepare them.

I hope you find it useful.

Leave a comment

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.

P7 Home Learning Monday 27th April

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, and welcome to another week of Home Learning.  We hope you are all doing OK and are continuing to look after one another and staying safe.

This upcoming week we will be focusing on Data Handling in Maths, spelling and grammar in literacy and we will continue our focus on Transition to High School, amongst many other things!

If accessing Teams is proving difficult please get in touch.  You can also find a whole host of lessons appropriate to P7 here: BBC Bitesize 2nd Level

Below we have a table of daily tasks which can be completed at home.  We will also continue to post daily lessons on our P7 Lesson Teams page.

Physical Activity – Aim to complete 1 hour of activity each day.  This could be Joe Wicks Fitness (Live on Youtube at 9am) or one of the many other active tasks available – keep an eye on Mr Tennant’s Twitter page for inspiration!  If you have a task you’d rather do then please go ahead and remember to take photos and upload then to Teams or Twitter.

 Free Writing/Daily Journal – Using a digital resource or paper try to write for 30 minutes each day.  This could be a journal keeping track of your thoughts each day or using the Files we have uploaded to Teams.  Try to write different genres – so creative writing one day, personal writing another, a letter to someone you are missing the next etc.

 

 Personal Reading – Continue to read your own reading book for a least 20 minutes day.  Please share what book you are reading with us.  You can upload a picture onto Teams or Twitter, draw a picture, write a book review, anything to keep us up to date with your reading!

 

 Daily Meditation – Remember to give yourself time to relax and stop and listen to your body and mind. Listen to some relaxing music and give yourself 5 or 10 minutes of quiet time, it could be colouring or just thinking (no screen time!).  This website has good ideas: Click Here
Numeracy Ninjas – Complete 1 page of the numeracy ninja’s booklet each day.  The Files have been added to Teams if you need the next set of tasks.

 

 Targeted Online Resources – Access the IDL website and complete tasks for around 15 minutes in both curricular areas – 15 minutes of Literacy and the same for Numeracy.

 

 Online Active Learning – Education City and Sumdog are all set for free play in a wide range of curricular areas.  Additional tasks will be regularly set by your teachers.

 

Help around the Home Each day think about ways you can help your family out.  It could be something small like keeping your room tidy or a bigger project like helping to cook dinner. Discuss this with people at home.

Hello everyone and welcome to Term 4 of Primary 7!  It is certainly a unique situation we find ourselves in and we wanted to make sure you all know how proud we are of you in the way you are coping with this massive change to your learning!

We will continue to post daily activities on our P7 Lesson Teams page.  Every pupil has been given access to this via their GLOW mail.  Please access this for different learning experiences created by the teachers and class chat pages.

As well as daily lessons, all pupils have access to various websites which contain curriculum linked tasks.  Our main sources are:

Active Learn – https://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk/login?c=0  This contains many resources including our Science Bug tasks and our Class Novel.  This term we will be studying Midsummer’s Night Dream!

IDL – https://idlsgroup.com/       We recommend that pupils access both the literacy and numeracy tasks here for around 15 minutes per day.

Sumdog – https://www.sumdog.com/user/sign_in   Numeracy and Maths tasks

Education City – https://www.educationcity.com/   A wide range of resources including Literacy, French and Technology.

The following file has a large amount of STEM tasks that can be completed at home using (mainly!) items found in the home:

77-STEM-activities-for-Families

Finally this file will give a wide range of additional online learning:

Playground Competition

Leave a comment

Hello everybody,

I hope you are enjoying spending time with your family this Easter. As you know, we have been working to improve our school playground and have recently had a number of new playground markings/games painted on the ground. Our Parent Council have told us about an amazing competition where we have the chance to win £10 000 to make our playground even better.

Click here and it should direct you to the competition documents. I’d really like you to complete the tasks and ask your parents to submit your competition entry via email to play@creativeplayuk.com by 1st May. I would also ask that you include the school email address (wlsimpson-ps@westlothian.org.uk) in your entries so I can get an idea of the improvements you would like to see. There are quite a few tasks to do so make sure you don’t run out of time!

Creative Play and I want to see what you’re doing, so please ask parents to share your photo on social media tagging @CreativePlayUK, @SimpsonPrimary and the hashtag #playgroundprize. Please make sure your name is not posted alongside your picture due to West Lothian policy. If we get a lot of people using the tags, it will get our school really well known with the company and hopefully improve our chances of winning!

Have fun, get creative and I’m looking forward to seeing your ideas.

Mr Weir
