Activity Instructions – Virtual Sports Day (1)

Literacy

Today’s extra literacy task is to choose a favourite book and settle down to read it for 5 minutes – just like BEAR time in class! When you have finished your story, perhaps you could draw a picture of your favourite character from your book and choose 6 adjectives to describe the character. If you can’t find a book at home, there are lots to choose from on the Oxford Owl E-book library . You could also choose a book from your Read, Write, Count bag.

Maths

Today’s extra maths challenge is on Sumdog. We have set up special a Sumdog challenge to help you to build your skills on adding and subtracting to 100. We can’t wait to see all your super work on Sumdog!

Have a lovely day.

Writing support and ideas: Day 3 13.5.20

For our final day of writing support I would like to share further advice and strategies to support you when supporting your child. Writing is an important form of communication and one which plays an important part in your child’s life.

Today’s final tips will be simple ways you can further encourage writing at home using everyday routines.

Send a message

As parents you can leave messages for your child around the house, on their pillow, in their lunchbox or on a chalkboard. Encourage your child to write a response. The tooth fairy could even leave a message!! That happened in my house and caused great excitement leading to my child writing a response which I have kept for years!

Keep a Year in Review book:

A lovely idea is to keep a diary of things you have done as a family throughout the year. Everyone can add to this and it will encourage your child to write in it too. Pictures and photographs could also be added to make it all come to life.

Make a menu

Have your child create a menu/recipe for your family dinner. They could use the ingredients to help with spelling and vocabulary.

Copy

Think of your child’s favourite rhyme or song and get them to copy some of the lyrics.

Saying Thank You

Get your child to write thank you notes to friends and relatives.

On that note thank you for sharing in our blog posts and literacy supports and please do not hesitate to contact me for further ideas, supports or links when supporting your child with aspects of their literacy and language skills.

Have a great day everyone,

Mrs Docherty

Mrs Docherty’s Positive Song for the Week: Somewhere Over the Rainbow 11.5.20

Good morning and welcome back to the start of another week. I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and have continued to make memories along the way. I love to start our week with a positive song and today is no different. One of my all-time favourite films is The Wizard of Oz and with it, its iconic song Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

In the film the characters have to show courage and determination as they embark on a journey like no other. This is very reflective of what we are all doing with life at the moment. We are all on a journey like no other and what is important to get through it is bravery, determination, friendship, support and love.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_XNczdUEoc

The lyrics of the song are reflective of what we are thinking and feeling every day as we wish for the brighter days ahead when we can all be together again. As we go into this week let’s think of the lyrics from the song and stay positive looking forward to another week of exciting learning and support of each other.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.

The lyrics provide us with hope and knowledge that as each day goes by we will be getting closer to being together again and starting our new journey after the storm.

Have a great week everyone, take care and stay safe,

Mrs Docherty

P3 Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan Friday 8.5.20

Good morning Primary 3. It has been lovely to see all of your wonderful work on your OneNote profiles and we have been so impressed with your spelling and maths on our Sumdog challenges.

As it is Friday, it is self-assessment day when we review our learning.

Literacy

In reading, we listened to dancer Dianne Buswell reading extracts from the book Funnybones and you choose one of three follow up activities to complete. Think about how well you completed the task and draw a traffic light on your work to show your progress.

In writing, we wrote poems about the months of the year. Use a pink pencil/ crayon to highlight work that you’re really proud of and a green pencil/ crayon to highlight work that you’d like to improve next time.

Think about:

Did you you use rhyming words?
Have you used an adjective?
Did you use punctuation at the end of each line?

We’re really looking forward to reading your poems!

Maths

In maths we have been learning about measurement. Here are the answers so that you can self-assess your work.

Mrs Wassell’s P3 Girls Weekly Round up 8.5.20

Good morning girls,

It is Mrs Docherty for you this morning. Can you believe it is Friday again and we are entering another weekend with hopefully more lovely sunshine.

Friday is our day for reflection and assessment and so today’s tasks will help you to look back at your week and focus on what you have achieved and had success with. It also allows us to think about what we can work on to make things even better.

Writing :

In Writing you had to compose a Poem all about The Months. When you are self-assessing can you identify the following:

Correct layout: Did you take a new line for each new sentence in your poem?

Vocabulary: Can you highlight key vocabulary that you included in pink and think about why you chose that word.

Can you identify rhyming words?

Punctuation: Did you include correct punctuation at the end of each line of your poem?

Numeracy and Maths:

Using what you have learned in length can you use a fist of 5 to decide how you have got on. Was there something that you found tricky and would like to look at again. Was there something that you did really well on? Can you tell estimate how tall you are in cm? Please share your learning on your One Note Profile or comment on the Blog to share how you have got on.

There has been lots of fabulous work going on with our Global Goals and RRS. Please remember to send your RRS work to Mrs Conway. brogan.conway@westlothian.org.uk

Finally have a great weekend everyone and enjoy your time with your family. Remember to log back on, on Monday for your new and of course exciting learning grid for next week.

Happy weekend everyone. Take care and stay safe,

Mrs Docherty

MRS DOCHERTY POSITIVE QUOTE FOR THE WEEK: 8.5.20

As we look back at another week of learning, friendships, support and hope we realise what a journey we have been on and indeed are still on. Hopefully for all of you things are starting to fall into a new normal and a new routine that works for you all.

While things have changed and we are all adjusting, what is important is to remember that when we come to the end of this part of the journey we are all here for you and as we get closer to that time we are getting more and more excited to see you all.

They always say absence makes the heart grow fonder and I know that is the case for us at St Ninian’s. When we remember the words of our song of the week from Monday “Rise Up ” by Andra Day please keep in your minds the lines:

All we need, all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
We will rise

This song means a lot to me and I have used it as a writing stimulus in school which resulted in amazing pieces of writing based on hope, strength and courage. Please know these are the qualities you are showing at the minute and we are so appreciative of your support and engagement. Our special quote for this week is:

We know that as a school and as a community we will grow even stronger through this and look forward to a new chapter of learning, laughter and fun.

Have a lovely weekend with each other, continue to make special memories and please stay safe.

Mrs Docherty
