As we prepare for returning to school this week, don’t forget to make the most of this extreme weather as this is the type of things that make memories to last a lifetime.

Get a head start –

Writing – When we return to school we will be completing a personal piece of writing all about our time off school during these snow days.  We will be writing about all the different activities that you got up to (both inside and outside) and what we liked and disliked about having so much snow.  You could start to think about what you will write in your story.

Spelling – also on or return we will be going over our key words again and looking to see how many you can remember how to spell without checking.  you could prepare for this by using the key word lists you have at home.

Numeracy – we will revise again our knowledge of the coins we use in everyday life and complete some simple calculations with these, this will also help us look at the numbers to 100 too.  Also we will be rounding up our work on division (grouping).

Topic – This week we will begin to look at modern transport with a particular focus on Space Travel.  Much of our work will be about rockets, and hopefully we will get a chance to use materials to design our own rocket model.

Good morning everyone!  Here are some more activities you might like to try today.

Well done to all the children who have sent in pictures of what you have been doing.  It is lovely to see all of your activities.

I’ve set up a new snowy day challenge on Sumdog which runs for today only.  Log in and try to earn an extra 250 coins.

Draw a picture of yourself in the snow and write a few sentences underneath to describe your picture.  You can bring it in to school on Monday.

Why not try some baking?  I’m going to do some baking later and I’ll share my picture on Class Dojo.  You’ll need to read your recipe and measure your ingredients.

Read lots of books or if you prefer listen to online audio books http://www.storylineonline.net/ Primary 3 children can also update their Reading Passports. Primary 2 children can keep a note of books read and we’ll add them to our class chart next week.

Stay safe in the snow.

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all staying safe and warm on this snowy day. I have been keeping in contact with you all via Classdojo and keeping an eye out for any tasks you have completed so far.

Here are some extra activities which you might enjoy:

Literacy/Technology: write a blog post detailing your ‘Snow Day’ off school, include ambitious vocabulary and any of our BOOST words we’ve learned so far.

Numeracy: https://nrich.maths.org/6499

Use this link to play Countdown and try to see if you can beat the grown-ups!! Let me know your solutions and post them on the blog/dojo or email them to me.

Art: Go for a walk and look around, what do you see, recreate this image in a piece of artwork using any material of your choice. Rachel Mc has already had a go at making a snowflake. The link is on our Winter Ready class page.

Daily Mile: Get outdoors and do your daily mile in the snow. I managed 2.5 miles this morning with my 2 girls. Take a selfie and send it to me.

Drama/Music: use your script and MP3 sound files on your email to practise for the show as we were due to have a rehearsal today, make or gather any props you need.

Hopefully I’ll see you all tomorrow!
