P2- Wednesday 27th May

Bonjour P2

Hope you have been enjoying the sunny weather.  I thought, with the weather getting better, you might be able to pretend you’re going on holiday.

Today, I’d like you to pretend you’re planning a holiday.  You could use the most popular destination from your Monday/Tuesday maths lessons or you could choose a different dream location.

I’d like you to make a list of items to take in your holiday suitcase using headings.  Before you start your own list, read the one I’ve started.  There are four pictures at the bottom.  These are items I’ve still to sort under the headings.  Can you sort them for me?  You can then use this template to help you write your own list or you can write in your jotter or on paper.

Once you’ve done this, why not brush up on your languages (using the grids below) before tomorrow and Friday’s literacy tasks:

P2- Friday 22nd May

Good Morning Everyone!

Today we have our school assembly  which will be at 10am.  If you have an older sibling in P4-7 you will be able to watch with them through TEAMS.

Literacy

Today we are going to listen to a Cat in the Hat story about money.  It’s an American book so, although it describes American currency (not British), it’s still funny to listen to the rhyming words and learn about the history of money.

After listening to the story, think about these questions.  You can answer them by telling someone, writing down your answers in your jotter or on a piece of paper.

  1. Did you learn anything new/interesting about the history of money?
  2. Find out about the history of British money. Write down at least three facts you have learned (below is a template to get you stared).
  3. If you haven’t done so already, look at the money grid. One option is to design your own coin or note.  Why not try that today or over the weekend?

Money Facts

It would be great if you have the time to complete the eform to tell us what you thought about money stories and the money grid this week.  Thank you.

As it is Mental Health Awareness Week, you could try some of these activities over the weekend (Kindly shared by MIss Rodger).

Good Morning Everyone!

Hope you managed to enjoy the sunshine yesterday.

Maths- Giving Change 

Money task 3

Reading:

Today, listen to the Max and Ruby story, Bunny Money.  Listen carefully to how much money they have and how much they spend.  ($1 or one dollar = £1 or one pound).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcVaypXBEqg

  1. Listen to the story again and make a note of everything Max and Ruby buy.
  2. How much do they spend?
  3. What interesting sayings about money did you hear in this book? 

You can tell someone your answers, write them in your jotter or on a piece of paper.

Writing:

Max and Ruby were saving their money to buy a special gift for their Grandma.  Are you saving for anything special at the moment?  Tell me about it by writing a personal piece of writing.  You can tell someone, write a story in your jotter or on a piece of paper.

* As an extra can you draw in detail the item(s) you are saving for?

Below is an example for you to give you an idea.  It’s not what I’m saving for – I wonder if you can guess who is saving for this?

I am saving for…

You can also choose any of the options on the MONEY grids to complete.
