P2 Mrs Currie Daily Update Friday 01.05.20

Good morning everyone.

It’s Friday so that means self-assessment time.

Let’s use the traffic lights to help us assess our work today.

What colour will your work for the week be.  Remember if you give any of your work red try to come up with a goal you could set yourself to help you work on the skill.

Literacy

To assess your spelling get someone at home to call out the words from the weekly grid and you write them down.  How many can you spell correctly?

How did you get on with the reading skill of using inference.

For the bench picture I thought the bench was old was because it looked like there was some old faded paint that you could still see a little bit. I’m not sure I think it looks comfortable to sit on because the slats on the seat part are all at different heights so this might dig into you when you sit on it.  I think this bench is in a park because of the green grass that was all around it.  I used my imagination for who I think might sit on this bench and I decided it might be a giant because the seat has a dent in it from where the huge giant was sitting.

For your free writing use this writing skills success criteria to assess how you got on.

Well done everyone for all your hard work this week.

Enjoy the long weekend

NHS Speech and Language Advice 30.4.20

Today’s focus from the NHS Speech and Language Facebook page is focussing on Listening and Talking. Listening and attention skills are one of the key parts of our overall Literacy and Language areas of CfE. They are important for your child to help with their social skills, understanding of language, following instructions, learning to communicate, developing speech sounds and all areas of their learning.

The website below shares some great ideas to help support your child with listening and talking and is definitely worth a look.

www.lets-talk.scot.nhs.uk

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

  • Play musical bumps or statues. These are also examples of games we play in Nursery and School.
  • Get your child to spot the mistake. You could use their favourite song or nursery Rhyme and make a deliberate mistake. See can your child recognise the mistake you have made or the word you have left out.
  • Play games where your child must wait for you to say go before they take part. An example is building a tower of bricks where your child cannot knock it down until you say Go!
  • Use a noisy toy and get your child to follow the noise by hiding the toy or object.

As always have a go and try them out. If you have any other ideas that you use at home please share these also.

Have a great day everyone,

Mrs Docherty

You could try making your own survey at home to find out which flavour of ice cream is the most popular in your household. You can even ask toys or teddies. Here is an example for how you could lay out your survey:

Be careful of the spelling of flavour, this example was made in America!

Can you spot the mistakes in these sentences? As an extension you  could write the sentences with the mistakes corrected. Ask someone at home to look over your work or post it in the comments section of this blog.

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

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.
