Planting sunflower seeds-P1

planting sunflower seeds

Have a look at the pictures I took when we planted sunflower seeds at home. They might help you to write your instructions for planting a seed. (Keep them simple though). This is the format we would have used if we were at school.                                                                                                  Mrs McKay

Instructions how to grow a bean

 

A super set of instructions written this morning by one of our pupils, great effort, thank you for sharing this with us.

 

P1 Home Learning Thursday 4th June

Good morning everyone. Here is what we would like you to work on today. Please also see plan for more details.

Literacy

Writing a set of instructions

· We would like you to write your own set of instructions for planting seeds You should use words like first, then, next and finally at the start of your sentence for each instruction.

· For example – First put some soil in a pot.

· Miss Mackay will post some photos of her planting seeds for you to follow. Photos to come today.

Numeracy

· Esti-mysteries

Use your knowledge of numbers to solve the problem, use the first recording sheet to record your estimates-it might be easier to cross off the numbers as you read each clue (this very quickly helps to reduce the range of possible numbers). If you would rather not print the recording sheet the numbers could be written into the home learning jotter instead.

Perhaps you could create your own game of estimation bullseye

(all you need is a glass or cup, some small objects e.g. buttons, lego, marbles, etc and a partner)
