P6/7 had a fab time designing their own eggs for a class competition. Winner to be announced tomorrow…

Get reading a book for World Book Day! No excuses! 🙂

Cinco is loving the snow!

Good morning primary 6/7 and HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY! I have really enjoyed seeing pictures of you having lots of fun in the snow. I will try to capture some photos of my own and post them later today 🙂 If you are looking for some more activities, here are some suggestions you could try.
1. Since it is World Book Day, you could cosy up and read your favourite book. Me and Cinco (my dog) are going to be snuggled in reading “Brain Freeze” by Tom Fletcher.
2. You could create a poster to advertise your book and persuade someone else to read it. Think about the persuasive openers you completed for your Read, Write, Swap books!
3. We have been working hard in class to create interesting newspaper reports which include the 5ws – what, why, where, when, who? You could write your own newspaper report on the weather across Scotland. Remember you need a catchy headline!
4. Continue to play games on Sumdog and compete with your classmates. You are really challenging yourselves and doing a fantastic job. Have you shown someone how to use the grid method for multiplication?
5. Practise your times tables! There are plenty of songs on Youtube that you could learn to help you. These ones are particularly fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XzfQUXqiYY
6. Are you feeling inspired by the snow? Get creative and make some artwork. You could draw or paint a snowy landscape. I know you love the “How to Draw” videos so why not show someone at home?

1. I know you will have been having lots of fun. Why not write me a letter to let me know what you have been up to? I can’t wait to hear all of your stories!
2. There are lots of unusual birds in my garden at the moment. Why not spread some kindness and feed some birds. They will be finding it hard to find food in all of this snow.
   Please continue to wrap up warm and keep yourselves safe! Keep sending me your pictures 🙂 lauren.walker1@westlothian.org.uk

Morning Primary 6/7 and happy snow day! Below is a list of activities that you could choose to complete throughout the day.

1. Reading – Make a cosy corner or den and read your favourite book. Remember it is World Book Day tomorrow. You could draw a picture of your favourite character or write a summary/book review of your book.
2. Maths – Go online and play Sumdog. Remember you can play against your classmates! I will keep an eye on the scores throughout the day – challenge yourself!
3. Show someone at home how to use the grid method to solve multiplication problems. You can do 2 digit numbers by 1 or challenge yourself further!
4. Didbook – You could go online and create a Didbook post. Think about everything we have been learning recently and choose your favourites to post about.
5. Weather Report – Have some fun and film a weather report on today’s weather. Think about your voice and outfit. Are there any safety tips you could share? How could you make it exciting for your audience? Get creative! Remember to share your videos.
6. Get outside and enjoy the snow! You could create a giant snowman, snowdog or how about an igloo? You could measure your snowman’s height and we can see who built the tallest snowman.

Above all, have fun and enjoy the snow! Please keep in touch and share all your fun activities and videos!
