How are you getting on with your number talks this week?

I have been using the link below to create different ways to make 8 on a rekenrek.

https://apps.mathlearningcenter.org/number-rack/

However, I haven’t managed to finish creating 8. Can you look at the pictures below and help me finish my number racks to make 8.

     

Literacy

Try playing this listening and talking game with your family.

Good News/Bad News

Someone starts the game by giving some made up good news. E.g. My friend Sam won the lottery. The next person adds to the story with bad news. E.g. But he lost the ticket. Then it goes back to good new again. E.g. It was OK because his dad had the ticket. Continue with the good news/bad news etc. model to create a silly story!

It is important that you listen carefully to what has been said in the story so you can add the next part – have fun!

Numeracy

Use this link below to access a time game or search for the game in your search bar by typing ‘topmarks matching pairs time’. On this game I suggest selecting the 3rd option “analogue to words” and clicking the “o’clock” button. Can you match the times? Good luck!

NHS Speech and Language Advice 29.4.20

Following on from Monday’s Speech and Language advice I have included ideas on how to support your child with speech sounds. This was shared on the NHS Lothians Speech and Language Therapy on Facebook.

https://en-gb.facebook.com/NHSLothianSLT/

Please see below ideas and  suggestions from NHS Lothians for you to use with your child to help support them with their speech sounds:

  • Hide objects or pictures in a sensory box (a box filled with feathers, leaves, popcorn kernels, ripped up paper etc) – every time your child finds an object/picture they should practise saying the word.
  • Use any fun turn-taking game – every time your child takes a turn they should practise a word.
  • Take turns naming a picture and then posting the picture into the box
  • Take turns to throw a bean bag/ball into a box, choose a picture/object from the box and practise the word.
  • For all these activities you can use objects around the house or cut out pictures from magazines/newspapers etc, that begin with the sound your child finds difficult.

 

Please use the comments box if you have tried any of these ideas and let us know how you got on.

Have a great day everyone,

Mrs Docherty

Good morning everyone!

I hope you are all well today. I have uploaded this below for you to access easier:

Learning Grid Week 4 WC 27th April P1

Remember the importance of staying active throughout the course of the day.

One fun way you can stay active is by making an obstacle course (this can be done indoors or outdoors) and then challenging others to complete it too.  Here are some ideas; crawl under a blanket, go through the legs of a chair, run round the washing pole.  If you have any amazing obstacle course ideas you can always post them here so that others can try them too.

Learning Grid

What salty/sweet/sour food have you tried?

Which ones did you like?

Literacy

For your numeracy this week you were given the idea of using chalk or just a paintbrush with water to write numeracy calculations outside, why not try this with some of your tricky words or the boost words?  Here is my example, I used a paintbrush with water.  In this weather it dries really quickly!

Numeracy

I really like the programme NumberBlocks.  It is a fun way to learn about numbers.  Have a go at trying to draw your favourite number block character.  Here are some reminders below of what some of them look like.

If you are having any difficulty with any of the home learning activities please remember to ask your question in the comments section below. I will try to answer your question as quickly as possible.

Have a lovely day!

National Superhero Day

Good afternoon St Ninian’s Primary School! I hope everyone is doing well and keeping active by exercising!

Today is National Superhero Day! Here are some things I’d like you to think about;

Who is your favourite super hero and what makes them so great? Mine has to be spider man! I love the way he moves from building to building!

Can you think of what super power you would love to have and why? Mine would definitely be super speed, I think that would help me a lot when I am playing rugby!

Finally, the most important one, what super power do you already have? It is important just now for everyone to stay positive and I would like every single one of you to celebrate yourselves! Are you super smart? Are you super kind or caring? Are you super funny? Have a think and if you’re stuck, ask someone around you!

All the best,

Mr Cumming.

NHS Speech and Language Therapy Marvellous Monday Post: 27.4.20

Good morning everyone. A very exciting piece of information to share is that NHS Lothian Speech and Language Therapy are this week posting great ideas on how to support your child with Phonological awareness.

They are doing this on their Facebook page:

https://en-gb.facebook.com/NHSLothianSLT/

 

I will take out the main points as shared below and over the week continue to share their ideas and tips with you. It is also worth going onto the page using the link above as there is a wealth of resources available. Over the coming weeks I will use this site to continue to support you with your child’s speech and language development.

Did you know? Phonological (Sound) Awareness involves listening and playing around with sounds in words. Children can then begin to understand how the sounds join together to form words.

 

 

Children benefit from being able to break words down into smaller parts called ‘syllables’. First show your child by clapping 👏🏼 whilst saying 🗣words and then let them try too!

‼️ Remember: these activities are beneficial for all children in nursery and early school years as it helps with early reading 📖 and writing 📝skills. The activities also support children with speech sound difficulties 🗣!

⬇️ Try the syllable activities below using words with different numbers of syllables.


 

If you have any questions please just post in the comments section above.

 

Have a great day everyone and please visit the Facebook page it is really informative.

Mrs Docherty POSITIVE SONG OF THE WEEK: 27.4.20

This week’s Positive Song is Rise Up by Andra Day which is a very powerful song with a powerful message. It is a song about courage and strength in the face of adversity. The song has a very special message for everyone and has been used by our special NHS nurses across the country to rally each other and support their patients.

 

As a school we feel the message of the song is exactly what we would want to say to you as our parents and as our friends. It is a message of working through things and knowing that we will rise up and come out the other end. We will do this together as a team and the lines from the song which stand out for me are:

 

You’re broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I’ll rise up
I’ll rise like the day
I’ll rise up
I’ll rise unafraid
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
And I’ll rise up
High like the waves
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
For you

 

Please listen to the song which is even more powerful when you hear the lyrics with music.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMpXtI6Nhskknowing

 

The song gives a clear message that who we are is demonstrated in what we do to help each other. It is about how we show support and empathy for each other which as a school we see in abundance not just now but at all times, so thank you. The words of the song give us a positive message of how we will get through these times and the positivity and experiences we will have again soon.

 

Have a great week everyone and please stay safe,

Mrs Docherty
