Another snow day! Hope you all had fun yesterday. Here are some activities you could try today.

• If you have lego can you build a house? What kind of house have you built? A bungalow, detached, terraced house? Can you tweet us a photo?
• Can you write a letter to someone in a country that never gets snow and describe what the weather is like today?
• The poor birds are struggling to find food at the moment because of all the snow. Could you find out what we could do to help feed the birds and if you can put some food out for them?
• Could you write an acrostic poem about snow? Here is my example

SNOW

Spinning round and round the flakes fall to the ground

Nice and fluffy but cold to the touch the flakes keep tumbling down

Oh how I love to see them fall and land softly on the ground

When will it stop? I don’t know, but I’m wrapped up warm inside.

Remember to tweet us any photos! Have a great day and lovely weekend when it comes. Hope to see you all on Monday.

Can you create an imaginary introduction scene for the Simpson family?

You could also add some pets, since we have started to look at french vocabulary for pets.

Remember that to say ‘I have a…..’ you say ‘ J’ai un….’ or  ‘J’ai une…..’

Perhaps you can make up a rap like the one we listened to…. Here is a link to it.

Enjoy your day. Bon weekend!!

Good morning Primary 4!

We hope that you enjoying the snow, staying wrapped up warm and are playing safely.

Here are today’s learning activities:

– Happy World Book day! Continue to design your world book day hat or t-shirt design ready to share with the class.

– Stay cosy and warm and choose a favourite book. Try reading this with a brother or sister, mum, dad or grandparents.  Remember to read with energy and expression.

– Keep a diary of all of the interesting things that you do during the snow days  remembering to include the date of each entry and to use interesting vocabulary.

– Maths and Numeracy: using a ruler measure the snowfall outside, in different areas of your garden or the front of your house.  Try to use your estimation skills first to guess how much snow you think there is (in centimetres) and record your estimation and accurate measurement.

– Maths and numeracy: continue to practice your timetables.  Try to think of word problems with a snow theme using the four functions (add, take away, multiply and divide).

– Finally think about our science topic Forces, think about activities that you can do in the snow, e.g. Sledge, snowball fight. Have think and decide if these forces are pushes or pulls.

Have a lovely day!
