Primary 1 Home Learning Week Beginning 15th June 2020

Hello P1! 😊

We are getting close to the summer holidays!

We are finding it hard to believe that all this time has gone by. As

ever we want to say you are all doing such a great job and we are

always so happy to be receiving emails and seeing what you have been

getting up to!

Hopefully the rain will stop soon and we can all get back outside to

enjoy the weather again.

Good luck for this week!

Word Building Below are ten different words for you to spell this week. They are

differentiated into mild, spicy and hot words. Try one or two mild words first

and if they are too easy for you, move on to try some spicy or hot words!

Remember to use your Fred Fingers to identify all the sounds!

This week you could try:

Playdough Use playdough you have

or make your own to

build your words.

you need and use a

spatula to hit the sounds

to build your word.

writing in the air or on someone’s back!

Writing

A new Big Writing PowerPoint has been uploaded on to the website with new

ideas to encourage writing at home. There are enough ideas to last until the end

of term, with some left over in case you wish to continue practicing over

Summer. We suggest doing 1 a week 😊

We would love to see which one you choose so please take a photo to send to us

if you can!

Top Tip! Use a lolly pop stick to help you to remember finger spaces if you are

finding them tricky!

Everyone should have received an email from our school admin telling you what

reading group your child is in. Please click on the link under your child’s group to

be taken to their reading book for this week.

Top Tips:

1. Let your child listen to the story first. You can use the audio feature or read

the story to them.

2. Before they read the story, talk to your child about the pictures on each

page.

3. The first page of your child’s reading book has tips about what to do/ask

before, during and after reading. It also highlights words that you may need

to help your child to read.

4. Questions should be completed orally – we do not expect children in P1 to

write down their answers!

Red Words Practice

Red words are words that we can’t sound out using phonics. Your child knows

that these are words that we need to recognise, or they will trick us when we

are spelling or reading!

This week we would like you to learn and practice a new red word!

you

Click the link below to revise some of our old red words and give ‘you’ a go! 😊

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri4u0TjAZ38&list=PLIDN_6YOWUNRt_n0dn2_632327E6a-vL7&index=7

There are lots of ways you can practise red words at home. Here are some

ideas;

• Ask your child to use each word in a spoken sentence, e.g. I like going to

the park, Chocolate is my favourite treat!

• Build each word out of playdough/sticks/lego/pasta or whatever you have

handy!

• Use pens, paint, chalk or water to practice writing them. Children especially

love going outside to write them as BIG as they can!

• Go on a red word scavenger hunt – write out lots of these red words and

hide them in your house/garden. Once found, can your child read them to

earn a bonus point?

Numeracy!

Every week: 1. Log in to your SumDog account and complete the new challenges that we have

set for you in numeracy/maths.

2. Choose an activity from the SEAL grids on the school websites. These

activities do not require any technology!

Below are some maths and numeracy activities for your child to complete. You

can try to work your way through them all, or just focus on the SEAL Chapter

that your child is working within.

MILD Activities (SEAL Chapter 5)

1. Take turns to roll a dice and cover the numeral with a counter. You can

play bingo or connect 3.

2. Ask your child to repeat this pattern:

You can ask your child to copy different patterns or ask your child to

make up their own pattern for you to copy.

3. Click the link below to play caterpillar ordering. Choose numbers 1-10, and

then put the numbers in order from smallest to largest to complete the

caterpillar.

Caterpillar ordering game

SPICY Activities (SEAL Chapter 6)

1. Draw a picture to show the answers.

• Share 10 pears equally between 2 trees. How many pears on each

tree?

• Share 12 bones equally between 4 dogs? How many bones does each

dog get?

• Share 20 carrots equally among 4 rabbits. How many carrots does

each rabbit get?

• Share 15 fish equally among 5 cats? How many fish does each cat

get?

• Share 28 marshmallows equally among 6 plates. How many

Health and Wellbeing – Building Resilience Unit 12 Expect the Unexpected!

We are continuing with our ‘Expect the Unexpected’ programme, and we hope

you are finding it helpful.

This week we are focusing on the idea of ‘Transition’ as our school year is

coming to an end.

Transition in to Primary 2

Click below to listen to ‘Dear Teacher’ by Amy Husband

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVWvwu31t5g

• Fold an A4 piece of paper in half. Title one half as ‘Primary 1’, and the other

as ‘Primary 2’.

•

• Talk to your child about what they have enjoyed about their first year of

school. Was it the playground? Choosing time? Learning to read? Ask them to

draw a picture of what their favourite part of P1 was on one half of the

piece of paper.

•

• Discuss the things that will be the same and different in P2. Encourage your

child to share their worries/fears.

•

• Talk to your child about what makes them excited about starting P2. It could

be finding out who their new teacher is, getting a new school bag, or being in

a different classroom. Ask them to draw this on the other half of the paper.

•

• Put this picture in a prominent place at home (e.g. the fridge/next to your

child’s bed) and refer to it often throughout the summer holidays to help

prepare children for their return to school.

Session 8 – Movement

Watch:

Click on the link below to watch a video introducing session 8 of The Lion King

Experience https://www.lionkingexperience.com/sessions/kids/8

Explore: • Think of an everyday activity that involves movement (e.g. brushing your

teeth or getting dressed).

• Silently practice that movement.

• Repeat the movement, this time exploring the following

o Levels: high, medium, low

o Speeds: slow, medium, fast

o Qualities: sharp, bouncy, light, heavy, fluid

• Now pick a word from each category and try doing them together.

• Challenge: how can you use your whole body?

CREATE:

• Now you will become a choreographer and create a dance to your song

from Session 7!

• First – list the types of movement the character in the scene might do

(e.g. fly, prowl, play, hunt).

• Next – decide what types of level, speed and qualities you want to use

based on the music.

• Finally – create some moves and put them together in to a dance for your

song!

Share: We would love to see photos of you taking part in this project! Don’t forget

that you can upload photos to our school twitter feed or email them to our

school admin!
