Wishing our P1s and their families a very happy Monday. Miss Mackay and I are missing you all and being at school so we have created a special ‘virtual classroom’ for you to explore. There are lots of links to activities, games and things to keep you busy at home-many of these would be what Miss Mackay and I would be doing with you if we were at school. These suggestions are not compulsory, just for fun. If this format works well we can adapt it over the next few weeks for you. Please let us know what you think by commenting on the blog.                                              Have a lovely day, so glad the sun has returned again!                                                                            Mrs McKay.

Virtual Classroom P1 week commencing 25 May

Thank you to everyone who managed to tune in to our first TEAMS P4-7 Assembly.  It was great to see/hear so many of our children and families, we are missing you all.

We are working hard behind the scenes to develop a live platform to include everyone from nursery to P7, so watch this space.  Mrs Galek will post the powerpoint from today on the blog for everyone to see.

Remember our Emotion Works focus for next week is the orange cog – emotion words.  Mrs Kinnear has prepared fun activities from next week which your class teacher will share.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Have a super weekend!

Virtual UPS Assembly Friday 22nd May 2020

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.

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).

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.
