Mini Vinnies Lockdown Appeal

Hi everyone,

Yesterday the Mini Vinnies committee launched an appeal for children to send cards/pictures to hospital patients who cannot have their family/friends as visitors just now.

Below are 2 other addresses which your cards can be sent to – Morningside Care Home and the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow. They were chosen by teachers in our school who have close links to both and they would love some of our children to make people in the hospital and care home smile. Your card/pictures can be for the staff who work in the hospitals/care homes too.

Remember to address your cards as ‘Dear Friend’ and sign them as ‘A pupil from St. Ninian’s Primary School, Livingston’ NOT your name.

Good morning girls!

How are you all doing? I am thinking about you all and I hope you are enjoying all of the learning experiences you are having at home.

Reviewing our Learning

Today we are going to review our learning for the week and do some self-assessment tasks. How have you got on with your learning this week? Record your two stars and a wish for this week’s learning in your jotter or on your OneNote profile.

Literacy

Our writing task this week was to write a story about spring using the roll-a-story to find a character, setting and plot.

The success criteria for this task was:

to include a title
to use capital letters and full stops
to use past tense verbs
to include a main character
to include the setting

Year 2 Class: September 2012

Today, read over your story and self assess your work using the success criteria above. If you can find a pink pen or pencil you can underline in pink where you have achieved your success criteria. If you have a green pen or pencil you can underline in green an area that you would like to improve. Share your self assessment with a family member.

Maths

In Maths this week we have been working on time. How confident do you feel in your learning? Draw a traffic light in your jotter or use your OneNote profile to review your learning. Use the picture below to help you.

I hope that you all have a lovely Easter break. A time to relax, have fun and create memories.

How are you getting on with learning time in Maths? Remember the big hand is the minute hand and the small hand is the hour hand.

Science

Rainbows have been the symbol many relate to this time. Some people have been drawing and painting rainbows for their window to make others smile as they walk past. Today I would like to see if you can grow your own rainbow.

Numeracy

I have set a sumdog competition for all the boys and girls in P3/4. This will be some revision on all the things we have learned in Maths and Numeracy in P3/4. You have until Friday to take part.

How are you getting on building your own Viking Longboat from junk materials or construction toys such as building bricks? We are loving seeing the pictures of Longboats that you have uploaded to OneNote already – the creativity is wonderful!

Once you’ve built your boat, perhaps you could check if it will float. Think about:

does your Viking Longboat meet the design criteria with a a square sail, a figurehead and oars?
does your boat float or sink?
how could you improve your design?

Literacy

Today’s challenge is to complete the P3 Spelling Challenge on Sumdog. The challenge will help you to learn the weekly spelling words for your group. Your Sumdog login details are in your home learning jotter. We love to see your progress on Sumdog!

Maths

Today’s maths task is to try this First Level number talk, from the FVWL RIC Numeracy Academy (they post a new number talk on Twitter every day). Remember – number talks are all about how you solve a task, mentally. For this task, you don’t need to use anything to help you, just use your brain.

Look at each number sentence and share the strategy you use to get each answer. Did you use the same strategy each time? You can share your strategies with someone at home. Did they work it out the same way as you? Share your learning on the blog in the comments box below.

4 + 8 + 2 + 6

1 + 9 + 2 + 8

5 + 3 + 7 + 5

I’m going to start my day with the Joe Wicks workout – what are you going to do first? Have a lovely day and let us know how you are getting on with your learning.

Take care,

from Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan

Daily update – 31/3/20

Good morning everyone,

It was lovely to work with our staff team in the HUB yesterday supporting children of key workers. All the staff commented on how proud they were of all the efforts and work you have been completing at home. We are all missing your smiles and laughter, we hope you appreciated yesterday’s virtual hug on our Twitter page.

Today we are posting some ideas for Messy Play at home, a favourite for the children but often a headache for parents!! Creativity is a key skill we encourage in learners so our challenge to you all is to have a go at one of the messy play tasks together as a family.

Today I have a little challenge for you. I would like you to go on a reading scavenger hunt. I would like you to explore your books you have at home, use your own knowledge of books you have already read or you can use the internet to help you. Can you find books that have all of these things?

Numeracy

We have been working on learning our times tables over the last couple of months. Try to continue learning your times tables over the next few weeks. You can use the game hit the button to help your do this.
