Primary 3 Self Care

Good morning, Primary 3! I hope you have been learning lots this week – your teachers have loved hearing from some of you on Twitter and through the comments.

Through our Emotion Works topic, we discussed the idea of regulation strategies to help us manage our emotions if we are feeling scared, upset or down. There is a lot going on right now and we want to make sure we are still prioritising our health and wellbeing. We have created a self care grid with lots of different ideas to help you manage your emotions if you need it, or if you just want a few fun ideas to keep your mind busy! There is no pressure to try them, it is just there to make sure you have a resource if you need some regulation strategies. You can work your way through the grid or do any of the activities as many times as you like! 🙂

Parents and siblings, you are more than welcome to join in with these activities, too!

Good morning P3C.

Hello P3C. I hope you are all well on this sunny morning. It is lovely to see that some of you have been logging onto Sumdog and IDL to complete the activities. Remember you can also log onto Active Learn and Education City.   On Twitter I have shared details of two Education City webinars. The webinars will be helpful for adults at home who would like to learn more about using Education City.  A daily Number Talk will also be shared on Twitter – @MrsLDee – and I’m looking forward to you sharing your strategies. Best wishes, Mrs Dunsmore

IDL – Training

Good Morning everyone,

This morning I took part in an online IDL training – this was designed for parents but it has given me an insight into what the children see from their end. I have taken notes during this meeting – I thought it might be a good idea to share these with you to refer to if you experience any difficulties using the program.

  • Use the IDL website – this has a resource tab which has a parents guide. This guide has links to youtube videos to aid with using the program.
  • You have to use the program through google chrome, other internet servers will freeze and cause some issues.
  • There is a new ipad app- IDL2mobile it has to be the 2.0.3 version
  • If using an older ipad (below 1os 10) it might not work. IDL recommend using a laptop rather than an ipad.
  • You will not be able to use a mobile for idl
  • make sure the microphone is turned on, you wont be able to complete the lesson (particularly in literacy) if this is switched off.
  • If you have headphones please let your child use these. It will help to take the distractions away
  • Any messages from the teacher will pop up on the right hand side of the child’s home screen.
  • If a child has a dyslexic diagnosis and have a preferred background colour to make reading easier – they can change this through the colour tab on the home screen.
  • spelling book tab has 3 learning modules, its not commonly used
  • typing book tab – revision for using the keyboard
  • literacy / numeracy tabs will take the children into their next lesson
  • no need to sit with the child, they can complete this independently.
  • Assistance button can be used during the literacy lessons, you need to make sure this button is switched off, if it is not switched off you will not be able to move to the next lesson
  • if there are any issues with the program freezing / not progressing through a lesson and you have followed all the points made above. It is likely to be a software issue so is best to get in touch with idl themselves.
  • This program incorporates new learning and revision
  • Teacher can see how the child is progressing through the learning, and their time on each day. Parents will not be able to see this.

I hope this helps, I am new to IDL as well and I found this really helpful.

PRIMARY ONE – WRITING

Good Morning Primary 1!

We are so impressed to see all the learning and play you are doing at home. We have been enjoying seeing your messages and pictures on the blog or Twitter and hope to see many more.

WRITING ACTIVITIES

Before we finished we had been learning about procedural writing. We used sequencing words – First, Next, Then and Finally to write sentences to help others wash their hands in the correct order.

So before we start our writing the first thing we need you to do is complete an Easter Project this can be either making a chocolate nest cake  or designing an Easter card or painting an Easter egg.

Then we need you to write instructions for people to follow to help them recreate your Easter Project.

Remember to Include a title that matches your activity e.g. Make a Easter Cake , Painting a Patterned Egg or Making a Bunny Card.

You will also need to include a list of what Ingredients or materials are required.

Then write or cut and stick your instructions for someone to follow to recreate your project.  If you feel it would be too much for your child to write all the sentences you can write the instructions on bits of paper, cut them up and get them to stick in the correct order  e.g. write each of the following words on separate pieces of paper – chocolate. melt the First – Children would then order this – First melt the chocolate.

Children should be encouraged to read and write words they know and then use their sounding out skills to help with other words. Sentence punctuation can also help determine the order of the sentence and clues such as “Where would we find the capital letter?”or “Where would we find the full stop?” will help your child.

Remember to include capital letters, finger spaces and full stops in your instructions but most of all remember to have FUN!

Finally post lots of pictures for your Primary 1 teachers to see.

 

We are aware that these activities might be challenging to do in the current situation so should you not have access to the required materials then please complete one of the writing tasks from the writing grid in your child’s home learning pack. You can find a copy of the grid below.
