Happy Friday! It’s the last day of Fitness Fortnight. We’d all like to say a massive well done for how engaged you’ve been with the activities and challenges over the last two weeks!
My Friday challenge is a scavenger hunt around your house! See if you can find something shaped like a cube, a cylinder, a sphere, a cuboid and (as an extra challenge) a pyramid!
Good morning. What a lovely day! We hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine.
For our word families today we have “et “, “ig” and”ug”. Can you think of more words for each family?
There is a space in the middle of the picture. What word family and sea creature would you include there? Could you tell someone a story about the sea creatures?
If you have any suggestions for adding to the picture, or if you have more words to add to each family, please comment on the post or tag @missblyth1 and @MrsLDee on Twitter.
Happy Thursday! I have an art challenge for you today. I was so excited to see all the amazing responses to last week’s art challenge, keep up the hard work!
Today’s art challenge is to draw a squiggle on your page and see if you can create a piece of art from it. Sometimes it helps to turn your page around to see it from a different angle. Here’s my squiggle:
And here is the drawing I created from it! I had to turn my face until my squiggle was on its side, and then I used it as the muzzle of a dog! I’d love to see what you come up with – P3C can share with Mrs Dunsmore on Twitter @MrsLDee, P3B and P3A can share their responses with me on Twitter @MissBlyth1 and P4/3 can share their responses on Teams!
Hello P3. Today we have the “ed” word family. There are 5 “ed” words on today’s star fish:
bed, fed, led, red and wed.
Can you come up with some of your own?
Yesterday I added some words to my “ip” list – pip, ship and trip.
The P3 teachers love to see your work, so if you can, please share any word family art, word family lists and grid activity by commenting on this post or on Twitter, tagging @missblyth1 and @MrsLDee
It’s Wednesday! Lots of fun Fitness Fortnight activities to be trying today!
Today for my daily challenge I would like you to complete the sums below with either the +, -, x or ÷ symbols. You can double check them by completing the sums!
1) 50 ___ 10 = 5
2) 17 __ 2 = 34
3) 123 __ 16 = 107
4) 123 __ 16 = 139
Try creating a few of your own questions, too!
Edited to add answers:
50 _÷_ 10 = 5
17 _x_ 2 = 34
123 _–_ 16 = 107
123 _+_ 16 = 139

Good morning P3. Well done on all your fantastic Sports Day achievements. It was lovely to see you joining in. Some of you may have seen the picture of the word family flower garden from a few days ago. I had so much fun making it I have a new theme for practising more word families. Today we have the “ip” word family, and I’ve added a crab into the picture. Now I need to come up with a name for the crab. Do you have any suggestions? If you’d like to create a word family picture and share it with us please tag @missblyth1 and @MrsLDee
We hope you had an amazing Sports Day yesterday – we were all so impressed with your scores and pictures. Keep up the hard work and enjoy the rest of the Fitness Fortnight activities that are planned for the rest of the week!
My challenge for you today is to think back over the spelling words we’ve been learning and see if you can figure out what these jumbled up words are. I’ll post the answers at the end of the day!
Happy Friday! Welcome to the last day of Fitness Fortnight week 1. We’ve been so impressed by how enthusiastic you’ve all been and the amazing level of participation on Twitter. Keep up the hard work!
Today I am challenging you to revise your knowledge of pattern. Below are three sequences of shapes. I’d like you to continue the pattern for three more steps. Then create your own pattern and challenge someone else to continue it!
Hello, I hope you are all well. Here is a picture of a word family flower garden that I made this week. I included a mini-beast for every flower I made. Clover the caterpillar has come to say hello to Bill the Bumblebee, Stuart the Snail, Belle the butterfly and Lulu the ladybird. Maybe they will have an adventure?
Morning everyone! I hope you’re all having fun completing your Fitness Fortnight activities! Today’s PE challenge looks like a great one and can be found here: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/simpsonps/2020/05/21/pe-daily-challenge-day-17/
I’ve got a little art challenge for you to try today. Choose an object in your house like a teddy or bottle. Split your paper into four rectangles. In each box, draw the same object in a different way.
1 – in under 20 seconds. 2 – upside down. 3 – eyes closed. 4 – with the hand you don’t write with. Here’s my attempt:
