Hi everyone in Glee CLub.
You can keep yourself warm today by practicing our routine. We are missing a run through today so you need to keep going over our songs and dance moves. You have all been working so hard and we need to keep this up in order to be ready for the competition next Thursday!

Here are the links to our songs:

Remember Sumdog! https://www.sumdog.com/
You can all have fun and challenge yourself to improve your maths, reading and writing skills using this fun site. You can play against friends from your class or from children around the world!! Can you create a Users Manual? Imagine that an Alien has arrived at Toronto PS and needs to learn how to use Sumdog. Sadly the Alien can only read – they can’t hear you!? Have a go.

Good morning primary 7!

Here are some ways that you can carry on learning at home today. Please save anything you work on and bring it in to show me.

1. Numeracy

Usually at this time we’d probably be finishing CLIC. Since we’re not, why don’t you test a family member.

• Can they round to the nearest thousand, ten thousand or hundred thousand?
• Can they round to 1 decimal place or 2  decimal places?
• Can they complete a multiplication card?
• Can you teach them the GRID method for multiplying?

2. Balanced Arguments

West Lothian Council made a tough decision in the early hours of this morning. They closed ALL the schools! What arguments would they have considered for and against doing this?

3. World Book Day

It’s World Book Day tomorrow.

1. Dig out those book swap books and read them for one last time!
2. Or you could read to a parent or sibling.
3. Why don’t you use kiddle to research what a Thundersnow is?

4. Weather Watch

Will the weather forecast be accurate? Is it all cold air?

Use this form (p7 weather watch) to compare what the Met Office and BBC Weather have predicted for today. Were they accurate?

5. Other links to learning websites: Winter learning links

See you soon!

Good Morning P2! Happy Snow day!

As well as keeping safe in this weather here is a list of a few fun activities you can complete today, I know how much you will be missing school.

literacy – after all your fun snow  activities,  write about something you have really enjoyed doing today? Perhaps it was spending the day in your pjs. What was your best bits? Remember those amazing wow words to help describe your day.
Get cosy and read a book, perhaps you might want to design a new front cover for this?

Maths – log onto sumdog and play some games, remember you can challenge your friends to a competition.

P.E – go outside and have fun, can you make a massive snowman? Perhaps go sledging? What about helping parents and carers to clear the snow?

Topic – we are carrying on our learning about the winter Olympics, if you are able ask a parent to help you find out 2 facts about a winter Olympic sport of your choice. Can you design a new piece of  equipment for this sport (i.e what design would you have on your bob-sleigh, skies or snowboard?)

Most  of all  have fun and stay safe! Please send in any pictures of your snow day so we can share our adventures when back in school. I can’t wait to hear all your stories!!
