Good morning everyone! I hope yesterday went well for your learning. I have included the learning grid again for you here.

Spelling Activity Suggestions

Here are some additional and support activities to extend your grid learning.

Home Learning Grid

How are you getting on with Number Talks? Can you name any of the strategies you have used to work them out? Here are some ideas:

Counting in ones
Five wise (seeing a pattern of five) and counting on
Counting in twos

Here is a link you can use to create your own Number Talks dice pattern challenge:

If you are having any difficulty with any of the home learning activities please remember to ask your question in the comments section below. We will try to answer your question as soon as we are able to.

Literacy

This is our first week back after Easter. I loved the treasure hunt challenge from one of our previous blog posts.

Try and find something in your house that begins with each of the letters in Easter, such as eggs, armchair etc.

You could take a picture of your objects and send to the school email account or draw pictures and label them in your jotter.

Numeracy

I have set up a Sumdog Challenge for all of you. It focuses on number words up to 20, such as two, fourteen etc. It is open for you to complete from today and closes at 3pm on Thursday.

Your log in details are in your home learning bags and your jotters that you received before the school closed. You have until Friday to complete it. Good luck!

Good morning everyone!

I hope your first day back of home learning went well for you.

Home Learning Grid

I had a little go at sorting some of the toys into push and pull, here are some of my ideas:

Literacy

It is important when you write a lowercase letter j that it hangs below the line. Look at this image showing both the capital and lowercase j. In your jotter you can also try writing the capital letter J. Some of the months of the year start with a capital J eg January, June, July.

Numeracy

I have set a Sumdog challenge for you to try. It is called Number Word challenge and it focuses on the learning the words that go with each number up to twenty, for example,

9 is written and spelled as nine

Some of the number words can be sounded out but others are sight words that you need to learn. The challenge opens today at 9am and closes on Thursday at 3pm.

Good luck.

It was lovely to hear from some of you yesterday, I was working in the St. Ninians hub yesterday so I am looking forward to getting back to you all today.

Supporting your child with Rhyme: 20.4.20

SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD WITH RHYME: 20.4.20

Rhyme is a great way to help support your child with reading. It helps your child to notice that rhyming words often have shared letter sequences, such as –all in tall, ball, and small. Most children enjoy hearing and participating in rhyming activities, and when they are exposed to rhyming, they usually pick it up naturally.

There are 3 stages to help support the development of Rhyme. These are:

STAGE 1: HEARING RHYME: Your child gets used to hearing and repeating rhyme.

STAGE 2: RECOGNISING RHYME: Your child can identify two words that rhyme.

STAGE 3: PRODUCING RHYME: Your child can think of a word that rhymes with another word

Over the next few days we will look at 5 different ways you can help your child to understand rhyme and I will share resources and ideas to help also. Step 1:

Read rhyming picture books together.

There are hundreds of great rhyming books, and this Rhyming Picture Books Library List is a good place to start. As you read, occasionally point out words that rhyme. (“Oh, goat and boat rhyme! They sound the same at the end. Goat, boat.”)

Use the list attached to help you share rhyming picture books together like we do in Nursery and P1/2 and let us know how you get on.

Rhyming-Picture-Books-Library-List

Tomorrow we will look at a Rhyming games and also Nursery Rhymes to further support teaching Rhyme and I will include the games and further reading lists.

POSITIVE SONG FOR THE WEEK 20.4.20

Welcome back after the Easter break. I hope you have had a lovely time with your family and that you have made many memories to cherish at this time.

As we return to our New Term albeit a very different start to our final term I think the message we need to continue to focus on is that we are all in this together. We will get through this with the help of our friends and the support of each other. On this note the Song for the Week has been chosen by James in P3/4. It is a great song with a very strong message of Hope and Friendship which is what we are all relying on at the moment. It’s You’ve Got a Friend in Me from Toy Story.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNi02gxTI1M

The lyrics always make me smile and help us realise that at St Ninian’s we stick together and share everything along the way as good friends do. One of my favourite lines is:

And as the years go by

Our Friendship will never die

You got to see it’s our destiny

You’ve got a friend in me

Please know we are missing you all greatly and missing the smiley faces but also know that when we are all back together we will continue to make great memories and build on our amazing Friendship as it is one that will last a lifetime even as the years go by. Have a good week everyone,

Mrs Docherty

Welcome Back P7!

Good Morning P7 children and families!

I have emailed all pupils via GLOW this morning with their ‘Back to School’ tasks for the day – this is also available here (click the link)

Welcome Back to School P7, and via TEAMS.

Mrs Kerr and I are working on our new learning grid for the week and will have that posted tomorrow morning!

Today an idea might be to agree as a family what this week is going to look like for you, your learning, your well-being, your physical activity…

Would you benefit from agreeing a loose timetable? Are there periods of time where you will agree to be away from your screen? How long do you think you should be spending outdoors? Are there any passions or interests you could explore during this time? How many of the tasks on the learning grid are you able to get through? What are your priorities?

Learning in lockdown looks different for everyone, make sure you strike a good balance and identify when things aren’t working out, and what you can do to help it.

Many thanks for you continued support. I am thinking of you all regularly,

Mrs Conway
