Good morning everyone,

Hope you are all well and supporting one another at home. We can’t keep up with all the amazing learning that has been going on this week so far, fantastic effort everyone!

We have now collated a list of additional activities that can be used at anytime during this school closure. Please make sure that you are balancing learning and family time. Remember one of our school priorities this year has been about the importance of play, both indoors and outdoors so we are keen for everyone to continue this priority at home.

Remember that we are all here for you during this difficult time, stay safe everyone, miss you all!

Good morning everyone,

We hope you are all well and managing to work from home. It has been busy here at St Ninian’s PS as we are opening for children whose parents are key workers and providing free school meals to those who need it.

It has been great to hear about how your learning is going at home via the blog, Teams and Twitter. We are all very proud of you, it is great to see how you are all showing resilience and supporting one another in your classes and families.

Remember to take time to have fun as a family and make special memories.

Mrs Smith and I will be posting daily and your teachers are all very busy responding to your emails and Teams files.

Have a good day everyone, and we will keep in contact!

Mrs Smith and Mrs Roy

 

Literacy Learning

In writing we wrote an exposition about Fun 31. We had to include time and sequence words, a title and sensing verbs.

Our class novel is ‘I was there…Titanic’ and we also have ‘The Attack of the Demon Dinner Ladies’.

Numeracy/Maths Learning

We have been working on our 3 and 4 times tables using tower sums.

STEM Learning

We made a waterproof boat in teams using waterproof items and materials, eg. foil.

We also made cabins for the Titanic using junk.

In Science we did an iceberg experiment.

We used QR codes to research the Titanic.

Home learning

Why don’t you try to make a boat as a family and try to see if it floats? Take some photos and put them on your WOW wall.

Keep working on times tables at home whenever you can using this link for games.

Overview

This week we have been focusing a lot on our nativity. We are so excited for our shows next week.

We have started focusing on word problems in numeracy and finished off our Information Reports in writing.

In Maths we have been continuing to learn about time – o’clock, half past using analogue and digital. We played some time challenge games where we had to record the time in 3 different ways – Joshua, Connor and Liam were our worthy winners!!

In Spanish we have been learning the days of the week and next week we will move onto the months of the year.

Parental Involvement

P2 chose to share our song that helps us count in 5s. Here it is:

Ask your child to explain what each numbers ends with when we count in 5s.

Sing along to our Spanish song:

 

Pupil voice

Luke – We have been practising lots for our nativity.

Roma – We did our one minute talks. I spoke about a teacher’s job.

Scott – I liked Scottish dancing. We were spinning around.

Anna – We had our dress rehearsal for nativity. It went well.

Amelia – Writing this week was all about Winter.

Rojin – We learned it’s not just an o and an o that make the ‘oo’ sound. It’s an e and a w too. They make ‘ew’.

Shea – We met Rosie and George. They are our class elves.

Pati – We made sparkly posters for our edible snowmen.
