4 Learning Descriptor and Home Learning
We are looking forward to seeing some of the great activities you do at home to develop your skills.
Primary 7
Hi P7,
Hope you are having fun in the snow and keeping yourself warm and safe. We would love to see some photos of what you have been up to! Has anyone managed to make a den or igloo in the snow?
Happy World Book Day!
Some activities for you to do at home…
– take a photo of yourself reading your favorite book, this could be inside or outside!
– Write a book review and post on Yammer or the school blog
– Visit the World Book Day website for other activities
Darwin Rocks!
Another activity to keep you busy is learning show lines and working on bringing your character to life through humour, expression and gestures. You could also be listening to show songs and learning the lyrics too.
Additionally, you could be looking at home for anything we could borrow to use for costumes, scenery or props. Please ask an adult first to make sure this is ok.
Maths
We will be setting some sumdog challenges for you to complete too if you wish.
Have fun, stay safe, stay warm and keep learning!

Hi P7
Hope you are all enjoying a day in the snow! We would love to see some photos of what you are getting up to. Email them to Miss Leys, Miss Brown or post them on Twitter, our school blog or Yammer. What can you build? Can you make an igloo? How creative can you be? Can you write a message in the snow to share with us?
Have a look at our P7 snow pack on the blog for some fun activities you can complete while nice and cosy in the house or outside in the snow.
Remember if you are out and about in the snow make sure you are all wrapped up and keep yourself safe.
Some more ideas to keep you busy and having fun:
– Go for a walk in the snow and take some photos
– Go sledging
– Play ‘Tic-Tac-Snow’ – use long sticks to make a grid in the snow and use crisscrossed sticks and pinecones as game pieces.
– Snuggle up and read a book
– Keep your First Minister’s Reading Passport up to date
– Work on you Fairtrade Fortnight competition entries
– Explore tasks on your new homework grid
– Do some research about Fairtrade gold and cotton and create an information leaflet or powerpoint to share your learning

Snow Fun
Can P6 boys and girls find any angles while out exploring in the snow? Perhaps you could collect data of any sledging races or snowman building competitions for us to display and interpret in class? How fast? How tall? I would love to see how creative you can be..

Enhancing our Literacy Skills
Some of our learners have been trialing and testing a new online literacy learning zone – IDL.
IDL is a quickfire module based learning program, based on improving spelling, reading and writing skills and is suitable for all learners. You can use it both in and out of school and on both computers or devices. IDL uses a multi-sensory approach through sight, sound, touch, and voice to improve reading and spelling and links are made between the visual, auditory and tactile pathways.
Once our children have used the program for a sustained amount of time we look forward to sharing our findings and exploring with more of our classes too.
Using Technolgies Across the Curriculum
A few P7’s have been asking how we make our ‘word pictures’ in school.
After taking 2 minutes to explain… they knew more about it than ME!
SO … either ask Libby or Ruby (P7) or follow these simple steps…
- Log onto the internet through SAFARI OR INTERNET EXPLORER (NOT CHROME).
- Follow this link… http://www.tagxedo.com/
- Create away!
Share yours if you make one 🙂
Safer Internet Day 6th February 2018
At Williamston we are passionate about digital technologies and equipping our children with skills that they can apply to all aspects of learning.
Today is ‘Safer Internet Day’ and this week all classes will be celebrating this by exploring how we use the internet, why we use the internet and, most importantly, how to stay safe and secure online.
