Primary 1 Learning Tasks 23rd April.

Good Morning Boys and Girls. It was lovely to speak to your mums and dads (and some of you) on the phone yesterday. If I wasn’t speaking to your family please look out for a phone call today. It will be from a private number. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing all your little faces next week.

In addition to todays tasks can I please draw your attention to the topic grid Mrs Christie very kindly put up on the main school blog last night. The activities in it are Completely Optional, however if you do have a go at any please feel free to send us any pictures.

Literacy: Phonics	Have a go at http://www.scootle.edu.au/ec/viewing/L7860/index.html. The game focuses on identifying two words with the same 2 initial letters. Children may need some support to begin with as this is not a game, they are familiar with.
Literacy: Reading	Have a go at re-reading A Home for Ted. Is it getting any easier?
Numeracy	Last week you showed your adults at home how to use pictures to help solve problems. Can you do this again but using subtraction problems? Parents: Feel free to make up your own however here are some examples to help. I know I get mind blanks when put on the spot. I have 10 cookies and I eat 3. How many cookies do I have left? There are 7 people on a bus. At the next stop 2 people get off. How many people are left on the bus? I have 9 sweeties. My brother takes 2 and my sister takes 1. How many do I have left?
Health & Wellbeing	When you were at school you were taking about where foods come from. You learned that some foods come from plants and some come from animals. Can you have a look in your kitchen and find 3 foods that come from plants and 3 foods that come from animals. Do you know what animals the items come from? If you do not have many animal products in your house, can you name any?
