Day 15 – It’s a TAKEOVER!
Your next challenge comes from @keagsojac7 of @LiviFCOfficial.
You will need 5 pairs of rolled up socks, a helper & a target 5 steps away.
Have your helper throw you the “balls” 1 at a team, control the ball in the air & then kick into your target.
Good Morning Primary 1!
I hope you all enjoyed the story ‘One Button Benny’. I certainly did.
It has been great seeing some of your very own robot creations. You have been so imaginative and creative with your use of materials.
Don’t worry if you haven’t made one yet there is still plenty of time.
Today your writing activity is to write instructions on how to dance like a robot.
First use the link below to warm up your robot moves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-ulfVFtFBs
Then use the template below or your own format to write simple instructions for someone to recreate your robot dance.
Remember when writing your dance instructions to include those bossy instruction words (First, Then, Next, After, Lastly) these will help the person reading your instructions know what order to complete the dance in. (e.g. First stand up with one arm up in the air and one arm down by your side.)
We hope this activity helps make you smile. We look forward to seeing your robot dance instructions, pictures and videos.
Hi P2/1,
I hope you are still working hard at home and learning lots through different play experiences. I want to thank you and your families for all you are doing at this unusual time.
Please continue to let me know what you are doing via Twitter or here on our blog.
I hope you have had the chance to look at the P1-3 assembly which will now be posted on the blog every second Friday.
P1 will continue to receive daily activities from the P1 teachers and P2 will find this weeks home learning grid here – P2 Home Learning – Week 6 (P1 can also complete the ‘across the curriculum’ column on the P2 grid if they wish).
Remember to continue to do a little each day so you do not forget the skills you have learned. Sumdog, Teach your Monster to Read, Education City and IDL can help you revise.
A little reading/listening to a story everyday should be on everyone’s to do list.
Mrs Davies
Hi P2a, I hope you are all doing well.
Here is your home learning grid for week 6. I want to say a massive well done for your all hard work so far and it is great to see you sharing your learning with me on Twitter.
P2 Home Learning – Week 6
There are new assessments on Sumdog- Addition and Subtraction, Spelling 3a and 3b and Grammar. As usually, group b for spelling is more challenging. These are really useful to have a go at as I get to see how you did in the assessment. The assessments run from Monday-Sunday.
Another few points to make…Friday’s assembly has been uploaded onto the school blog for you to watch. In the assemblies we are doing shout outs for as many pupils as possible who have carried out random acts of kindness. Please share any random acts of kindness with me through Twitter. Also, if you are not already following @WLPENetwork on Twitter please do as they are sharing fun daily PE challenges and ideas. Number Talks will be shared daily on Twitter as usual.
It is great to see all of you are accessing the online resources and completing activities from the home learning grids. Remember it is not expected of you to be replicating the usual school day at home. Children are still learning and developing their skills when doing activities such as jigsaws, baking and playing. If you are finding it hard to concentrate at home try doing shorter intervals of 15-30 minutes and have regular breaks in between them as it can be hard to concrete for lengthier periods of time, especially at home.
I’m missing you all lots. Keep up the good work!
EXPRESSIVE ARTS.
Mrs Galloway and Mrs Henderson will be sharing some ideas and thoughts with you which you may want to try.
EXPRESSIVE ARTS WHAT IS IT ?
Firstly it covers all areas of music singing and dance. Painting, drawing, building models, drama, role play and much much more. Many of the skills our little ones are learning are improved on when being expressive in so many ways. That could be holding a twig, using a brush or wrapping themselves up in fabric. A child’s imagination knows no bounds and should be encouraged which ever media they prefer to use. We have a few ideas you may like to try to help keep your little ones busy and engaged.
Jar lids or bottle tops, caps, corks all sorts of sizes, shapes or colour can be used in many different ways. I’ve collected perfume bottle lids, fabric conditioner lids, anything unusual just remember to give it a wash first. You can use them with twigs pebbles or small pieces of fabric and buttons to make a picture or a face. An old picture frame with the glass removed is great for framing your child’s work. It can be any size take a picture of it and share it with everyone on the school’s twitter.
Playing music while your little one paints is very therapeutic. Lively music encourages large movements and brush strokes. Set them up outside with some cardboard and an old shirt over their clothes to help keep them clean. Pop the radio on the window sill and off you go. Remember we are small we make messes but we really love to express ourselves so join in and have fun.
Hi folks a cardboard box and rolled up socks make a fabulous throwing game. This is great fun n helps with hand eye co ordination. It’s really simple to do, try drawing a target inside the base it can be square, round, triangular any shape or colour. you could get your little one to help mark make and draw their own design. If outside make sure you can retrieve your socks and if indoors best choose an area away from hazards (corners/ ornaments). Vary the distance your little one throws from and give lots and lots of praise on all efforts.
If no cardbord box try using a basin or laundry basket and draw on a piece of paper to make your target. let me know how you score and remember have fun.

Hi P2A, I hope you are enjoying your long weekend. I am missing you all very much and I hope you are doing well.
Here is your home learning grid for week 5.
P2 Home Learning – Week 5
I have created Measurement, Spelling and Grammar assessments on Sumdog. For the Spelling assessments, set a is more challenging. Please have a go at these by Sunday. Don’t worry too much about the time limit, take your time and make sure to read the questions carefully. These are a great way to practice skills at home and for me to see how you are getting on.
Remember there are lots of useful websites to explore which you have all been provided logins for.
1. IDL is a great resource to develop Literacy and Numeracy skills. https://idlsgroup.com/
2. On Education City I have created folders under different topics. There are worksheets and online activities you can have a go at. https://www.educationcity.com/
3. Teach Your Monster to Read is a great resource to help with reading and phonics. https://teachyourmonstertoread.com/my_account

I understand this is a shorter school week so don’t worry about getting through all the activities. Remember just to do what you can as we are all still getting used to the current circumstances. Keep up the good work, you are all doing an amazing job! Take regular breaks and make sure to enjoy the sunshine.
Hi all,
Hope you are all doing well. Here is a child-friendly book which focuses on supporting and reassuring children about COVID-19. This is a useful resource if your child is perhaps feeling nervous, anxious or confused about the current situation.
I have attached an English, Spanish and Polish version.

English: 64c685_0a595408de2e4bfcbf1539dcf6ba4b89
I have also attached a really great resource which can be used to help children view quarantine as a more positive experience. It is a time capsule which encourages children to keep a diary of all the fun and exciting things they are doing during lockdown.
