Primary 1 Learning Tasks 19th May

Good Morning boys and girls!

Remember we have our google meet today at 11.30am / 12.00pm.

Literacy: Phonics	Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du3incCU6Xc and watch the video to learn about your new sound. If you are able, make a new phonics card with your sound on it to go in your phonics pack.   After you have watched the video try and come up with some words that have the ee sound in it. Can you solve my clues?   Something we do at night time? What do you put your shoes on? What does a mouse eat? A lady who wears a crown? What you need to do to ice lollies to make them hard?
Literacy: Reading	Parents: In the children’s homework folder you should find their word tin (small plastic box with red lid). There should be 15 words in each tub. These words will be the common words your child was still struggling to immediately recognise at the time of last assessment. I have attached a list of all the common words that your child should be able to recognise up until this point in Primary 1. Many of these words have not been introduced due to either the fact that they have not been in school or they have not been able to recognise the previous ones and I did not want to overwhelm them. The list should be read across the rows. Practice reading / recognising your common words with your adult at home. If you can confidently identify the words your adult can give you some new words to practice. You could make your own version of word cards for these new words.
Numeracy	Today we are going to do some measuring. Don’t worry if you don’t have a ruler or measuring tape, you won’t need one. We are going to use our hands and feet.   When you are measuring make sure that you put your hands or feet right beside each other- try not to leave any big gaps.   Use your hands to measure: A table Your bed The sofa.   Using your feet measure: The length of your garden The length of your bedroom (if you can walk wall to wall) The height of someone else in your house (you’ll need to get them to lie down and try not to stand on them!)
Health & Wellbeing	Having a healthy diet doesn’t mean eating only fruits and vegetables all the time. Foods can be split into two groups: Everyday foods and Sometimes Foods. Everyday foods are foods that help us grow and Sometimes foods are foods that are a little bit of a treat!   What category do you think these foods fall into?   Eggs Rice Potatoes Crisps Carrots Milk Chocolate Cheese Chicken

If you like Julia Donaldson have a look at this video. The school Miss Robinson’s friend works at had a very special guest reading them a book last week and she said I can share it with you!
