Good morning Primary 1! We hope that you have had a good long weekend and are ready to do some more school tasks today. Have you noticed that it is getting light earlier in the morning and getting dark a bit later? This is because it is spring and we are getting nearer to summer. Have you spotted signs of spring on your walks such as leaves appearing on the trees, lambs in the fields and the yellow flowers of dandelions in the grass?

Today the video link is of Mrs Cook reading chapter 1 of a story called The Great Denture Adventure. The publisher, MacMillan, are kindly allowing their books to be read on blogs whilst children are home learning. The video had to be shortened at the start and end to allow it to be uploaded so there is no introduction! It was chosen because we know that the P1 children enjoy chapter books and because previous classes have found it funny. Here are some questions for you to think about after listening:
- Did the children really like Grandma’s rock cakes?
- Why did Grandma make strange ‘Ah’ noises and flap her arms?
- Was it a little sneeze or a big sneeze? How do you know?
- Why did Grandma’s words sound funny?
Did you manage to answer the questions? If you did well done for doing careful listening! If you found this tricky perhaps you will get better with more practise when you listen to the next chapter.
Enjoy today’s activities!
