P4 Friday Fun

Good morning P4 – another day of snowy fun!

Miss Munro’s quote of the day 🙂

If we were all in class just now, we would be getting ready for our SPELLING TEST. Why not test yourself at home? Get somebody to read your words to you. You could even write your words into the snow. Will you get 7/7 today?

Continue practicing your times tables using our MULTIPLICATION MASH UP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgjCLhoI9Mk) I will be testing you all when we return to school!

The staff at Toronto met over a Skype call yesterday and we were all wondering what this “Beast from the East” looks like… Put your imagination and creativity skills to the test and draw a picture of the beast to share when we return to school.

If you are out in the snow today, challenge yourself to make a sculpture from the snow – Try something other than a snowman. Make sure you take photographs of all your amazing creations!

Above all, keep extra warm, stay safe and have the best time EVER. Have a fun filled weekend and thank you for sending me all of your amazing photos and videos so far – I am loving them!

Toronto Nursery Challenges

Hello everyone,  we hope that you’re all lovely and cosy in your homes enjoying watching the snow falling down on us, or maybe you’ve been lucky enough to jump around in the soft fluffy snow making snow angels?  Whatever you’ve been choosing to do today so far we really hope that you’ve had fun!  Now, knowing you all like we do, we thought you might be looking for some more ideas by now so why not have a wee look at the grid and choose a few fun activities to do if you have time?

*Remember that tomorrow is our Big Bedtime Read launch day (hopefully) so pop your jammies on, and no doubt wellies too, grab your teddy bear and head in for a day full of fun!

See you all soon,  The Nursery Team

P4 Winter Weather Activities!

Good morning P4! The school is closed today due to severe weather conditions so we will keep in touch with you through the blog… Since you can’t read our quote of the day on the whiteboard here is one for you 🙂

Below you will find a variety of learning activities that will keep you busy today. You can reply to the blog post to share your learning!

1) Make sure you have lots of FUN. Get out in the snow and have fun – I want to know who can build the biggest snowman. Take lots of photos and share them on here. If you are going out, please remember to wrap up warm – it is very cold outside!

2) We like to warm up our brains in class with our MULTIPLICATION MASH UP… Why don’t you do this at home? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgjCLhoI9Mk) Let’s see who can remember all of their times tables without looking on the screen #challenge

3) It is WORLD BOOK DAY tomorrow… Why don’t you keep your pj’s on, find a cosy corner to sit and get lost in your favourite book?

4) Now that we have Mrs Gingell on side for our Terrific Tuck Shop, our next mission is to get the rest of the school on side. We will do this by creating a video advertisement to show everyone at assembly. If you are watching the TV today, look out for the different adverts that are on, grab a pad and pencil (most of you will have your homework jotters – you can use this!) and write down all of the GOOD things about the advert, and if they used any PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES to convince you. We will now be one step ahead for our writing lesson next week!

5) Why don’t you practice being part of a video advertisement? You could create a weather report on today’s weather or find a toy that you really LOVE and persuade everyone else that they should buy it too. Think about the adverts that you have been watching, particularly how long they are, the tone of voice, and the persuasive techniques used!

6) Since we have planning permission now for our tuck shop, we really need to start thinking about how it will look. Can you design the outside of the tuck-shop (this can be completed in your homework jotter) and a logo for the tuck-shop. We may have a competition to see who has the most EYE-CATCHING, COLOURFUL and SIMPLISTIC logo, which will be used for our Terrific Tuck Shop. Here is an example of logo’s below – remember they are not big detailed drawings!

7) You could help out around the house today since we are all sprinkling our kindness around like glitter. You could do this by helping to make lunch or dinner, tidying away toys you have been playing with, hanging up your wet clothes to dry, shovelling the paths outside with an adult, helping with a sibling…

8) If you have access to a computer or tablet, there are lots of fun and interactive websites that you can go on. I have added a list of links below with different maths and spelling games:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Search.aspx?Subject=16 (hit the button or sharing equally)

https://www.sumdog.com/ (sumdog logins should be in homework jotters)

https://kidsspell.com/

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=just+dance (we all LOVE just dance – If you can’t get outside today, stay active in the house with a little SWISH SWISH)

MOST IMPORTANTLY… Have lots of fun and stay safe. I cannot wait to hear all of your amazing stories about your day in the snow. Miss Munro 🙂
