P1 Art and Design



In Art and Design we are learning to draw figures with lots of detail and to add a background to show where we are.

Can you draw yourself learning at home?
What are you wearing? Show the details on your clothes – pockets, zips, patterns.
What are you doing? Reading, writing, building, cooking? Add the things you are using! 
Where are you? The kitchen, your bedroom, the garden? Include some detail to show this! 

You can create your drawing in pencil or felt pen. Add colour if you wish using pencils, pens, pastels or paints!

P2/3 Spelling Stations

Hello p2/3!

We always have lots of fun when we are learning at our spelling stations!

I have uploaded a document for you to show your parents what we do at every station. Have a go at sentence construction, alien station, cube station, creative patterns and spelling detectives at home!

I would love to see how you get on!

Happy Spelling!

Wednesday 25th March

Good morning P4,

Another day, another couple of learning activities to keep those P4 brains working! 

Numeracy

So far this week, you have been adding up to 3 digit numbers and then using your adding skills to find the missing number.

Today, let’s use those addition skills to solve some maths problems. Try the ‘Wednesday Workout’ in your maths problem solving booklets. This booklet is in your home learning packs. 

I have also attached an addition pyramids worksheet at the bottom of this post. There are three different levels of difficulty and the answers are attached too (no peeking!).

The two numbers below a box add to make the number above. You do not need to print this worksheet to complete it! You can simply work out the answers and write these answers in your jotter or on your whiteboard!

Literacy

Wednesday is writing day! Today, let’s focus on planning a piece of writing – a scene from a play script. Decide where the scene will be set, which characters you will include and decide what will happen in the scene. Maybe you could use a mind map to plan your piece of writing?

Remember, it is okay to borrow an idea from one of your favourite books or films! Tomorrow I’ll upload a model text to help you to write your play script.

Remember – be kind to yourself and make time to do lots of fun things too! Play a game, draw a picture and get some fresh air! Addition pyramids

Take care,

Miss Prentice

 

 

 

P4-5: Wednesday 25th March

Good morning P4-5! I hope you have all been using your home learning packs to practice some of the skills that we have been learning in class this term.  Try using the Pobble365 website to practice your writing, including improving sentences using adverbs.

Free writing is also a fantastic way to practice your writing- write about anything that takes your interest, either fiction or non-fiction!

Wednesday 25 March – P3

Good morning P3.  Miss Fraser forgot to bring home any spelling cubes so she has been doing her spelling using fruit pastilles.  Can you work out which “ee” words they could be?  I wonder what you have got at home that you could use to make spelling words?fp1

A Guide to Reading

At school, we often issue the same book for the whole week, which can seem odd. This is partly to allow time for lots of reading practice but there is also a lot of other discussion that happens in our reading groups on a daily basis. 

For adults, it can sometimes be frustrating to help a child struggle over the same word on each page but, when you see all of the different elements that combine to make a fluent reader, it is, in my opinion, sheer magic!

Hopefully this guide will help you to continue to read at home, daily. You can also use the discussion ideas for audiobooks.

P6 Art and Design 23/3/20



In Art  and Design we are learning to show ‘mood’ in our figure drawing.

This is a great opportunity for you to capture some family members on paper! Make 3 or 4  two minute sketches of someone. They could be curled up on the sofa, lying on the floor, legs crossed …..choose a position they will be in for a while! Once you have worked out the proportion and perspective of the figure, complete a more detailed drawing. You don’t need to focus on the face…think more about the shoulders, how the arms and hands are placed. What mood does the body shape suggest? Relaxed? Tired? Inspired? 

Use your pencil with different amounts of pressure to add TONE to your work.
