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
Activity 1 – Design your own key worker
Using our template, young people can design what a key worker in their area looks like. Remember to upload completed designs week commencing Monday 1st June 2020 and tag us @DYWWestLothian, @simpsonprimary and @missblyth1/@MissLDee
Activity 2 – Create your own key worker poem
We want to encourage young people to write their own key worker poem using our template. Remember to post completed poems on social media week commencing Monday 1st June 2020 and tag us @DYWWestLothian, @simpsonprimary and @missblyth1/@MissLDee
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: 
I’ll be posting a daily challenge here and on my twitter account @missblyth1. It is not compulsory – just for a little bit of fun and variety! If you complete any of the challenges, you can tweet them to me @missblyth1 (remember not to name your child if they are in the picture) or comment on the challenge post! Today we have some subtraction questions to challenge you to use the jump and split strategies. If you need a reminder of those strategies, look at Miss McGregor’s blog post here: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/simpsonps/2020/04/03/a-message-for-p3a-2/
I’ll tweet/comment the answers later!
