Primary 1 Learning Tasks 22nd June

Good Morning Boys and Girls. I hope you all enjoyed your virtual trip last week, I know I did.

Thank you to the people who sent in ‘topic’ suggestions- if you think of anything you’d like to learn more about and have a focus on please let me know and I will see what I can do! 🙂

Reading	Today our focus is going to be on Jungle Animals as this was a topic Ava suggested we learn some more about. I would like you to listen to the story Rumble in the Jungle at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2-O1LkCzpM, or if you have the book at home you could read it with your adult. When you’re finished can you remember all of the animals that you heard about.
Phonics	You will notice that throughout the story the lines in each description rhyme. We have been looking at rhyme quite a lot over the past few weeks. Do you think you would work out what words need to go in the spaces so that the 1^st and 2^nd lines of the poem rhyme and the 3^rd and 4^th lines rhyme. You can choose which poem you want to do. If you are feeling particularly motivated you could write the poem out and draw a picture (See Below)

Numeracy	Can you solve these problems? 1.The Monkeys in the jungle are having a hard time sharing their bananas. They need your help. In the tree there are 15 bananas and 3 hungry monkeys. If they share them fairly how many will each monkey get? 2. Up in the trees a family of 7 parrots are sleeping. In a nest there are 4 eggs. When they hatch how many parrots will there be? 3. The Tigers will only go hunting in pairs. If there are 17 lions will everyone be able to go hunting?
Technology	I would like you to choose one animal that lives in the jungle and find out 3 facts about it. You can use the internet or you could use fact books if you have any. I would also love it if you could share your facts with me as I like learning new things too!
