I am so glad to hear how much Primary 1 have been enjoying their tasks.
They’ve all been keeping super busy and learning new things along the way.
They’ve been practicing their measuring skills as well, making lots of yummy treats for their families.
Leo has also been busy doing some shapes wearing his lovely toy story jumper I can see woody. Mum said he found the triangles and squares a little tricky, they are Leo don’t worry just keep practicing it will get easier. I loved your pattern with your circles. Leo has been busy playing on his bouncy castle in the lovely sun he bounced so much he needed a wee nap in the afternoon, quite right Leo 😊
Good Morning Boys and Girls.
It looks like it’s going to be another beautiful day. I hope you get to have some time outside to enjoy the sunshine.
| Literacy: Phonics | Ask an adult at home to challenge you to spell 10 words (minimum). You can choose how you do this. You could use your phonics cards, magnetic letters if you have them or write them down it is up to you. Parents: Please remember that the words you are asking your child to spell should be made up of the sounds they are familiar with. (At this stage all single letter sounds, th, sh and ch). For example, they should be capable of independently spelling ship (sh-i-p) however they would not be expected to spell show (sh-ow) as they are not familiar with the ‘ow’ sound yet. I know this can be a bit confusing to get your head around as often as adults we are not used to breaking words down that much. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me- I am here to help! Here are some suggestions for the adults in case they are having a mind blank! Shop, chin, cash, cat, dog, fish, wish, chip, box, zip, pop, lip, fin, rat. |
| Literacy: Reading | Go to https://www.education.com/game/jump-in-sight-word-mud/ and have a go at the game. The words should be words you are familiar with but if not ask an adult to help you as they are all words you will need to learn to recognise. |
| Numeracy | In your reading book (that the silly website won’t let you access!) the character likes mixing thigs together. Miss Robinson’s favourite time to mix things together is when she is baking (Yummy). You do not need to bake anything however if you can, help your adults in the kitchen by helping to measure pout the things they might need. This could involve using scales or a measuring jug. If your adult does not need any help today this could be completed another day, or you could just grab a set of scales and measure the weight of different items around your house. Ask your adult to help you read what it says on the scales or measuring jug. |
| Health & Wellbeing | If you can, go on a walk with your family. It might be a nice idea to take your favourite teddy bear with you. Where Miss Robinson lives some people have Teddy Bears in their windows. Are there teddy bears in the windows of the houses near you? If there are, how many can you find? |

Alfie has been super busy over the holidays and last week. He has been enjoying the sunshine and busy making elephants and praticing his pencil control drawing shapes. His Mum has sent us some lovely photos to share, Its great to see his big smile. Well done Alfie!
Even if you haven’t managed to do the tasks Haggis has been setting you it would still be great to get some photos of your child so we can see their faces and hear what they have been doing, we are really missing them all. I know the other children enjoy seeing their photos too.
It was so lovely to see our children out enjoying the lovely sunshine and working so very hard with all the shapes and patterns well done.
Zachary was working hard in the sun wonderful concentration Zachary lovely pencil control and look at those amazing shapes. I really liked the fact that you looked around the garden and used some sticks to make shapes excellent adaptation of materials good thinking they look so good. Did you count the sticks in each shape?
Then Zachary and his brother Robert had lunch out in the garden.
Zachary mum told us he is really enjoying completing our wee tasks which is so nice to hear.
Amy and her sister Zoe were also very busy bees drawing shapes some really wonderful shapes here Amy well done. some good pattern work too Amy, well done to Zoe who tried really hard.
I hope you both had fun playing out in this lovely weather.
Harris looked as if he was having a great time out in his shorts and t-shirt, Harris used the same as haggis using some colourful chalks to make his shapes. These are fantastic shapes Harris well done.
Harris also enjoyed his time in the vegetable patch it looks like you nearly fell in Harris😁 whilst he was there he found a really good sign of the Season – we are in Spring now girls and boys.
what did he find?
what will it become?
Ollie also joined in today which was lovely good to see you enjoying the task also Ollie. Do you notice something with a pattern around about Oliver? I think he picked it especially to show us all the lovely pattern .
What great patterns and shape work:
Haggis has been having a wee nosy around he noticed that Mrs June’s curtains had a checked pattern and the cushions and throw had a stripy pattern. Could you look around your house for patterns girls and boys?
It is lovely to see everyone working so hard would be good to get some more pictures and comments girls and boys.
I apologise. There appears to be an issue accessing the reading book I suggested on Oxford Owl.
Can the children please try to access A Home for Ted instead. Thank you
Good morning boys and girls.

Would the world be more interesting or more boring if everybody was the same? Why do you think that? |
| Fun Challenge! | Can you guess these nursery rhymes? You’ll find the file for the nursery rhyme quiz below. |
The boys and girls of Primary 1 have had a busy couple of days.
They’ve been practicing their spelling and phonics.
Learning about the lifecycle of a butterfly.
Practicing their drawing.
Practicing their maths
Making puzzles.
And writing diaries.
What a fantastic response for nest building and well done everyone for correctly answering the 3 questions.
A hen can only lay 1 egg a day.
An ostrich lays the biggest egg.
A hummingbird lays the smallest egg.
Zachary made a fantastic nest for Chase, he used lots of different materials and I really like the use of the skipping rope it goes all the way round the nest. Some great mark making there too Zachary.
Leo also made a nest for a dog, it looks like a well loved dog. He used bark, sticks, moss, leaves and some bits of flowers to make is smell nice. It looks really comfortable. Leo is also doing great mark making, he asked his Alexa the questions about the eggs and got them all right, great use of technology Leo.
Amy was very busy today making her nest with lots of help from Zoe. In their nest is some princesses and a big leopard is watching over them. Amy also painted an elves door, I hope a friendly elf comes to visit you through that door girls. Amy got help from her uncle Michael on answering the questions, well done Uncle Michael!
Harris was impressed that Haggis had been out with Toby on a bike. Harris has been out lots on his bike and sometimes gets in the trailer of his mums bike to go much longer bike rides, Haggis definitely wants a shot in that trailer.
Harris made a nest for his chicken. This is what Harris had to say about it, “Sticks to hold him up off the floor, moss and grass to keep him comfy” then “we should hide him from foxes so he’s not eaten!”
Well done Harris it’s an excellent nest, I do like the eggs. I am sure you’ll keep the pesky fox away!
