Good morning and happy Friday.

We have got to the end of our first week of remote learning together.  I hope you’ve all been able to stay active even if you are indoors or in your garden.  I’ve been trying my best too.  Every day I start with a ten minute set of exercises, I found a really good tutorial online for this.  Have you tried Joe Wicks on youtube at 9am?  If not give it a go next week.

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

This week we will focus on two stars and a wish.

For this I would like you to choose two things you think you did really well with this week with your learning (these are the two stars) and write them down or tell someone at home.  And then decide on one thing you would like to improve (this is your wish).

You can use your wish as a goal for next week to see if you can improve on it.

Literacy

How did you get on with your writing?

Use a pink pen and green pen and read over your story again.  Using the success criteria that was on your weekly grid,

Your success criteria for this writing was to;

*Use capital letters and full stops in every sentence.

*Write at least four sentences.

*Try to use and/but/because to stretched one of your sentences.

Tickle pink by under lining or drawing a circle around each of the success criteria that you see in your story.  Ask someone at home to check over your work too, if you have any spelling errors they should choose three and underline them with the green for growth green pen.  Find out the correct spelling of the word and write the words out three times each.

For the reading section of your work where you had to write about a character from a book you can always use the comments section here to tell me which character you were writing about.

Well done everyone this week.!

Next Monday morning I will post a new weekly grid for you.  Then on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I will send out some daily activities to support or challenge your learning.  On a Friday we will have time to reflect and self assess.

Mrs Currie

Good morning everyone and happy Friday.  I can see some of you have even been on Sumdog already this morning, well done to those early risers!

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

Each week we will use a different method of self assessing.  This week we are using 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)

You can either show your score to someone at home or if you have recorded work in your jotter, draw a circle and put little lines coming out of it to represent your fingers.

The IDL challenge this week was to match the names with their links to Livingston, here are your answers.

People From The Past

*Sir Walter Scott – The street names in Dedridge named after the characters and places in his books.

*James Young – A High School named after them.

*Saint Margaret – A High School named after them

*Saint John – A Hospital named after him.

Literacy

How did you get on with your story? Using tickled pink, highlight the conjunctions you used (and, because). Also find any describing words (adjectives) and tickle pink those too.  If you used a capital letter and a full stop at the start and end of your sentence draw a pink circle around them.  Using green for growth ask an adult to underline only two words that you have spelled incorrectly, and then underneath write the two words correctly three times each.

Numeracy

Don’t forget that the Sumdog challenge is still live until 3pm today, it’s not too late to earn all your coins.

Here are your answers for the numeracy questions;

3 + 4 = 7	7 – 2= 5	10 – 3=7	6 + 3= 9	4 + 4= 8	6 – 1= 5	8 – 8 =0
5 – 3 = 2	5+5 =10	7 + 0 =7	9 – 0 =9	10 – 8=2	7 + 1 =8	5 + 3 =8

Or these calculations are a bit more challenging:

13+4=17	17–2=15	20–3=17	6+13=19	4+14=18	16–1=15	18–8=10
15–3=12	5+15=20	17+0=17	19–0=19	20–8=12	17+1=18	15+3=18

When completing your number talks for the ten frame or the rekenrek did you use any of these strategies?

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

For the number talks dot pattern did you use any of these strategies?

• See a dice pattern
• Count in ones
• Count in twos

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.

Good morning everyone,

Hope you are all well and supporting one another at home. We can’t keep up with all the amazing learning that has been going on this week so far, fantastic effort everyone!

We have now collated a list of additional activities that can be used at anytime during this school closure. Please make sure that you are balancing learning and family time. Remember one of our school priorities this year has been about the importance of play, both indoors and outdoors so we are keen for everyone to continue this priority at home.

Additional online learning resources

Remember that we are all here for you during this difficult time, stay safe everyone, miss you all!

Good morning everyone.  Thank you to everyone for working so hard on all their activities, it has been lovely to receive comments on the blog; posts on twitter and e-mails with what you have been doing.

Below you will find some more ideas (and a challenge) for you to complete at home today.

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.

How are you getting on with the writing section in the home learning grid? I finished my story yesterday and I’ve typed it for you below. I think I made a few mistakes though. Can you spot the mistakes I made?

Find the website ‘teach your monster to read’. There is also an app for this resource which needs to be paid for but the full resource is free from the website. Create your account as a parent and then add your child onto this account. Your child can then customise their own monster. When asked to select which stage/level to begin with either select the ‘fun with words’ section for those children who are more confident readers or the recommended first section if you would like your child to refresh their learning of some initial sounds e.g. s, p, t etc.

Enjoy the story and the games – I had lots of playing along yesterday testing it out for you all to use today!

Log into your sumdog account (login details were in your home learning jotter), I have set you a challenge to complete. The challenge is called ‘Money Challenge’ and it should come up when you log in. This challenge will test your understanding and knowledge of money and coins – there are even prizes to be won if you complete the challenge. The challenge will begin at 9am today and will finish at 3pm tomorrow. I am going to be logging in to sumdog to play along with you and see how you are getting on this afternoon.

Enjoy and good luck!

Have a lovely day P1 and I’m looking forward to seeing how you are getting on with the extra activities today.

Good morning everyone.  It is a bit misty this morning but that won’t dampen our spirits.  Here are some suggestions to compliment your weekly learning grid.  Have fun.

Let’s use our creativity skills to create and verbally narrate an imaginative story. Your story must have a beginning, middle and an end. You can plan your story using drawings or notes. Use puppets, teddies, drawings or toys to narrate your story and you can even showcase your story to someone at home.
