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

Literacy

• Your common words for today are, the, of, and, a and to.

Numeracy

• Mental math as on timetable.
• Begin to learn number bonds within 10. (See number bond sheet within home learning pack).

Afternoon

• Mrs Grenfell will provide an art activity for you.

Just a little extra fun for our P1s… we all know how much Miss Mackay loves a penguin so check out the live webcam of the penguins at Edinburgh Zoo. There are other animals for you to look at as well. You could draw a picture of the animals you look at.

Take care and have a good day of learning.

Monday 23^rd March

Good morning everyone, we hope that you have had a nice weekend.

Here is what we would like you to work on today. Please also see the timetable sent home in your learning pack for more details.

Literacy

• Our new sound today is ‘sh’.

Say the sound, can you identify which part of your mouth you use to make the sound? (note for parents it is made with the flat centre of the tongue and is a green colour)

• Can you think of any words that use the ‘sh’ sound?
• Does the ‘sh’ sound come at the start, the middle or the end of these words?
• Slide some sounds together to form words:

ship, shop, shed, shut, sheet, sheep, shell, shelf, shark

• Now write these words and draw a picture to match (extension activity-write sentences containing the words)
• Videos to look at:

Numeracy

• To help you with your counting you could make your own counting stick or pick one of your soft toys to be a swinging counting buddy  (just like Mrs McKay’s counting monkey).
• Create your own linked fact families for numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 (you will be able to write 2 addition and 2 subtraction stories for each number (apart from 4) just like we discussed when we made our number robots).

PE

Get active! If you can, go outside.  If you can’t, try using one of our suggested sites.

On Wednesday the children in Primary 1 visited the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.  We took our packed lunches and teddy bears as we were invited to a Teddy Bears picnic by Edward Bear.  We learned about SWAF-this is a special code to help us remember what bears and other living things need to stay alive. We played games, went on a hunt for Edward Bear and found clues about SWAF as we were searching for him.  We got the biggest surprise when we went back for lunch-Edward Bear was waiting for us with our teddies!  After lunch we played another game to show us what happens to the bears when the trees get chopped down.  Our final activity was creating an island for the bears-making sure they had shelter, water, air and food.  There were some very sleepy boys and girls on the journey back to school!
