Positive thought for the week 3.4.20

Good  morning everyone. Well done on another successful week of learning and making memories in our new normal routines and with our distance learning.  Life has certainly changed over the past few weeks and as we adjust to this new normal we hope that it will be for a short period safe in the knowledge that we will weather this together.

On that note my positive thought going into the weekend is:

 

As we all adjust to this new way of life it is important that we try to find alternative ways to make memories and make the most of all the wonderful things we have.  It’s important to make memories that will last a lifetime, laugh at the smallest of things, dance to the music and care for each other holding close in our hearts our loved ones.

One of the most uplifting things I heard this week was a Scottish grandma’s advice to her grandchildren. It brought both a tear and a great big smile to me all at once. Her inspirational message reminds her family  that it’s finding a new way to dance in the rain that will get us all through this to the warmth of the sun and each other. She even made National News and GMB.

You are all doing amazing things from home and we appreciate all you are doing and the contact you are keeping with us. It means a lot.

I’ll end my post with a beautiful poem Mrs Scott shared with me and the staff team called At Home. Please read it as it is truly magical and heart warming and sums up a beautiful positive message of how well you are all doing. Thank you Mrs Scott.

Have a lovely weekend and a wonderful Easter holiday as you switch off and spend time together with your loved ones whether that is in your home or via the phone. You truly deserve a magical time. Keep smiling and dancing!

Happy Easter everyone,

Mrs Docherty

Daily update – 3/4/20

Good morning everyone,

It felt strange waking up this morning on this last day of term, we should have all been having family tea and toast together at school before our Stay, Play and Learn Outdoors morning. It would be great if families could still take part in this today and spend a little time in their gardens or perhaps go for a short walk together.

Here are some ideas for outdoor learning that you might want to use:

Nature-Play-Leaflet

Remember it’s also Funky Friday, so get the music on and get dancing!

Today would also have been our last Hot Chocolate Friday of the term so today we nominate………ALL OF YOU!!! Join us at 11.15am for a hot chocolate in recognition of all your hard work these last few weeks at home.

As we approach Holy Week let’s also take time to prepare ourselves for Easter. The Archdiocese of Edinburgh have some useful guides and activities for families to do:

Notes-for-parentscarers-catechists

Holy-Week-Day-by-Day

Stations-of-the-Cross-for-Children

We have also provided some additional materials for over the Easter holidays if anyone is looking for some activities to do as has West Lothian Council:

Easter Holiday Activities

https://www.westlothian.gov.u k/article/51911/Learning-at-home

All that’s left to say is have a restful, relaxing family break for the next 2 weeks and enjoy Easter when it comes. The teachers will be logging off today for their Easter break too and will be back online on Monday 20th April.

Stay safe everyone, take care!

  1. You can try drawing a bunny by following these steps:

  1. Try this quiz all about spring animals: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/quizzes/quiz-spring-animals?collection=easter

3. Write an imaginative story starting with ‘If I were the Easter bunny…’

  1. Make an origami Easter bunny with someone at home by following these instructions : https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/thingstodo/bp-origami-bunny

Self ­­Assessment

Today is about reflecting on the week we have had.

This week we will focus on The Fist Of Five to assess our learning (five fingers mean you have fully understood your task and feel confident with the skill, four fingers means you are nearly there perhaps just a little more practise needed, three fingers you needed some support but then were able to do it, two fingers you needed support to do most of it, one finger you needed support and would still need support in the future with this type of task).

For any pieced of work that you have below 4 for, can you think of any ways you could practise or develop your understanding of the work you found tricky?

You can either show your score to someone at home or if you have recorded work in your jotter, draw a circle and put the number inside the circle with how you feel you got on with the task.

Literacy

How did you get on with your reading this week?

Try and re-read the newspaper report out loud and focus on reading with fluency. What strategies can you use to help you to read tricky words? For example, you might see a word within a word or use sounding out.

P1 Mrs Currie Daily Update 03.04.20

Good morning and happy Friday!  I cannot believe how quickly this week has seemed.  Thank you to everyone who has been in touch this week or have logged onto Sumdog to complete the challenge!  If you have not had a chance to complete the Sumdog challenge it is still live until 3pm today.

Today is about self-assessing; how have you got on with your learning this week?

This week we are using 2 stars and a wish to assess our learning. Some of the tasks you have completed you will be thinking about 2 things you done well with your activity and 1 thing you could have done even better. You can talk about this to someone at home or draw the stars beside the things you done well and a wand for a wish beside the thing you could have done better.

Health and Wellbeing

How did you get on with naming the different body parts? I have attached an image below of different body parts. How many of these body parts did you find and label?

Can you complete the 2 stars and a wish self assessment strategy for this activity.

E.g.

Star – Labelled all the body parts on the face.

Star – I tried to sound out the names of body parts when spelling on my own.

Wish – Think about the body parts that are inside my body.

IDL

How did you get on with your research topic? What do you want to be when you grow up? Write a comment below about what you would like to be. When I was at primary school I wanted to be a teacher! And my dream came true, and so can yours!  Reach for the stars and you can achieve anything.

Literacy

Can you use the 2 stars and a wish tool to self-assess your writing from this week? Did you spot the mistakes I made in my story this week? I have pointed them out below for you.

  1. first get two slices of bread and put butter on one side. I missed a capital letter.
  2. Next grate some chese and put it on the bread I missed a full stop and spelled cheese wrong.
  3. Then carefully cut the sandwich in half.
  4. Finally injoy your cheese sandwich. I spelled enjoy wrong.

I have attached the link for the reading activity for you self-assess your work against.

P1 Reading Activities Week 2 Self Assessment

Numeracy

When completing your number talks for this week did you spot dice pattern of 4 on the rekenrek and the 10 frame? I spotted the dice pattern of 4 and then counted on.

How did you get on using the online rekenrek to complete my number talks? I have given you the answers to my examples from yesterday:

  • Use the rekenrek (in link) to create 6. I made 6 by doing a double. What did I do?

I had 3 + 3 = 6. I had 3 at the top and 3 at the bottom. This also looks like the 6 dice pattern.

  • Use the rekenrek to create 7. I had 2 at the top, how many on the bottom row to make 7?

I had 5 at the bottom. 2 + 5 = 7.

  • Use the rekenrek to create 8. I had 5 at the bottom, how many on the top row to make 8?

I had 3 at the top. 3 + 5 = 8.

Counting in 2’s is another super number talks strategy. On Tuesday, we asked you to have a go at counting in 2’s and completing a counting in 2’s worksheet. I have attached the completed counting in 2’s worksheet to 60. You can use this to self-assess both of the worksheets attached on Tuesday’s blog post. See below:

Counting in 2’s past 60 Self Assessment

How did you get on with completing the pictogram questions this week? I have posted the answers below in the attachment.

Pictogram self assessment

Well done everyone who completed some of these tasks this week, also remember the importance of play and the life skills you can develop from helping out around the house.

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

Mrs Currie

P3 Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan 3.4.20

Good morning P3!  Would love to hear from lots of you this morning.  Let me know what you are up to and how you’re getting on with your home learning!

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 recount about either a day out, going to the swimming pool or a  visit to the park.

The success criteria for this task was:

  • to include a title
  • to use capital letters and full stops
  • to use past tense verbs
  • to use time sequence words
  • to include a personal comment at the end

Today, read over your recount 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 with coins up to £1.00.  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.

We hope that you all stay safe and well over the Easter holidays and we look forward to sharing more learning with you on Monday 20th April.  We are so proud of all of the fantastic learning that you have all been doing.

from Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan
