Numeracy

Today’s numeracy task is a building task. Get building! Can you build a model of something using construction materials you have in your house? You could build a Lego model, a tower of playing cards or something else! When you have finished your building, can you estimate how many pieces of lego/blocks etc. have been used in your building? Estimate the number of pieces and then count to check how many you used.

Have a great day and make sure you are enjoying the sunshine,

How are you getting on with your health and wellbeing this week? I find Sports Charades really funny. Here is an activity to help with your mental wellbeing:

Let someone you love know how much they mean to you. You could draw them a picture, help them with something or phone them if you can’t see them just now.

Choose a book and read it for 5 minutes. You can bring a teddy if you like.  If you can’t find a book at home, there are lots to choose from on the:

Oxford Owl E-book library 

 

Numeracy

Here is a tricky problem for you to solve. Your clue is that the value of the triangle is 6.

Mrs Docherty HWB: Feelings 27.5.20

Good morning everyone. This week’s Health and Wellbeing theme will be feelings and how we can explore them with our children. There are so many feelings for children to name and recognise and it is good to encourage our children to begin to both recognise these and how they make us feel.

I have included a lovely link below for a story all about feelings called In my Heart. Please listen to the story and share it with your child as a way of supporting them to recognise feelings:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIfLgHBwYx4

For today I thought it would be good to share ideas about how we can talk about feelings.

Knowing your Feelings:

It is easy to talk ab out feelings when we know how we feel and why we feel that way. Some ways to achieve this with your child include:

  • Think of the name for how you feel. (Maybe you feel upset.)
  • Think of why you feel that way. (Maybe you feel this way because of how much things have changed for us and because our routine is different)
  • Get your child to put these two points together into words. (Say to yourself, “I feel upset about Coronavirus.”)
  • If your child doesn’t know why they feel a certain way, you can still talk about it. You can say, “I feel upset but I don’t know why.”

 

Pick someone to talk to:

It is good for your child to choose someone to talk to. In school we do this using the helping hand approach. On each finger the child identifies someone they can talk to. Try this at home too. It is a good way for your child to know there will always be someone to talk to.

  • Let them know that the other person will listen
  • They might give them advice or they might even make them laugh
  • Let them know they have someone to share their worry or indeed their excitement with as all feelings are good to share.

Taking time to talk to someone and taking the time to listen is such a key part of allowing your child to explore and identify their feelings . I hope you have enjoyed the story and if you try any of the ideas please let me know.

Have a great day everyone,

Mrs Docherty

Maybe today as part of your Healthy Body topic you could design and make a healthy lunch snack. For mine I am going to have a chicken salad with lettuce, spring onion, tomato, chicken, gherkins, sweetcorn and diced beetroot. Do you think I have a balanced plate of food? If you would like to share your creation add it to your One Note profile or let me know in the comments section.

 

 

How are you getting on with Hit the Button: what is your highest score?

 

In your literacy can you add suffixes to your spelling words. Did you have to double the last letter, did you have to drop a letter to add your suffix? Don’t forget about those long and short vowels when deciding what to do. You can post this on your One Note too.

Can you think about what makes our Education special as part of our weekly Right: You Have the Right to an Education. You could write a sentence or draw a picture to show this.

Have a great day everyone and please know I am here if you need anything. Enjoy your learning and don’t forget to share it with us.

Maths

You have been set a Maths challenge to look at the length of spoons.

Here are spoons from my kitchen in order of size, smallest to largest.

I used pasta twirls to measure my spoons.

 

        

I noticed that not all my pasta twirls were the same length, is this a good measuring device? Why?

Here is a game you can play which will help you with the maths language largest/biggest and smallest.

Mrs Docherty’s Positive Song for the Week I’ll be There for You: 25.5.20

Good morning and welcome to another week of online learning. This week’s song is a positive upbeat song about Friendship. It is a song that also sends a positive message to each and every one of our St Ninian’s families and staff. Friendship is the bond that is supporting and guiding us through these times. It is what helps us to check in, share good news, provide support and has made us smile since the start of lockdown.

Please have a listen to the song by clicking the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8PNXgLhkT0

The words in the song definitely suit the times we are living in just now and also convey exactly what we as a staff would like to say to each and every one of you:

 

I’ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
‘Cause you’re there for me too

 

Every week I share messages about being the rainbow in someone else’s storm and how important it is to appreciate the little things in life and without a shadow of a doubt one of the simplest and most important things to focus on going forward is Friendship. On that we would like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your ongoing friendship and support and know that you too have ours.

 

Have a great week filled with love and laughter and of course Friendship.

Mrs Docherty HWB: Positive Thought for the Week: 22.5.20

Another week has flown by and I hope you have all had a good week and continued to make memories.

Every week we hope we are getting closer to returning to the way things were and to being able to see each other again, hearing laughter in the playground, seeing smiling faces all around and experiencing the sound of joy in our daily lives. Things we all took for granted before now become so important and precious.

As a school we have been amazed at how much you have come together to support us and also to support each other. 9 weeks have already gone by and I think that what we have all learned is how strong we are and much we can achieve in challenging times. On that note our special quote for this week is:

You have certainly risen to the challenges and overcome them all with great strength and compassion so thank you and remember:

 

Please have a lovely relaxing weekend and enjoy doing the things you love most. Stay safe and keep smiling.

Take care,

Mrs Docherty
