Safer Internet Day

Miss Copeland

Yesterday was Safer Internet Day and the pupil participation group Internet Empire explored their knowledge of internet safety. All pupils should have knowledge of how to stay safe online for example, what to do if they encounter inappropriate content, how to keep personal details safe, using passwords to protect their information and cyberbullying.

In the session we used a special interactive questionnaire called ‘Mentimeter’ – Pupils were in groups of 3 and shared an iPad to answer the questions below which created this document. This will also be shared with staff to improve our quality learning and teaching

Holiday Home Learning

We asked what activities they would set to practise or show their knowledge of internet safety and this is what they came up with! Miss Bruner and Miss Copeland would be delighted to hear if anyone completes one of the tasks below to share their knowledge of safe internet use.

Games to learn more about online safety 

Interland – Children aged 8 – 12. A new game made by Google – covering cyberbullying, phishing, data protection through mini-games and quizzes. Very cool!

Jessie and Friends – A favourite of Miss Copeland, this includes easy to watch videos and songs, perfect for ages 4 to 7.

Band Runner – Also by Think U Know, this is designed for children aged 8-10.

Cloud Quest – An interactive adventure website with videos and activities for children under 10 (American website)

Numeral Identification in P1

Miss Copeland

Numicon

Matching the number shape to the silhouette – some times we need to use two to fill the space – this helps with our number bonds to 10 e.g. 9 and 1, 5 and 5, 7 and 3.

Ball Pit Fun!

Find a ball, read the number, tell it to Miss Copeland, put it back in the box to reload!

Musical Numbers

When the music stops, jump on a number tile and then shout the number before going back into the middle. Go to a different tile each time!

Homework superstar

Well done to Sarah who created this beautiful poster!

In Spanish!

We have been learning to count to 10 in Spanish using this catchy song (stopping half way)

We then played this counting game, saying the numbers in Spanish!

P1 P.E Homework

Miss Copeland

Please can you practise rocking back and forth as shown in the video below.

I would love for everyone to be able to rock to stand by the February half term!

Maybe you could make it a family challenge?

Core muscles are very important, not only in P.E, but also for posture when writing or painting.

Thank you!

P1 Burns Supper

Miss Copeland

From farm to fork

Where does our food come from? From a plant or animal? How does it grow?

We watched videos from Tesco’s Eat Happy Project to find out where porridge oats come from.

We then tested our knowledge using https://www.foodafactoflife.org.uk/5-7-years/where-food-comes-from-5-7-years/where-food-comes-from-interactive-resources-5-7-years/#PA

First we made porridge using porridge oats which come from a plant, and milk which comes from an animal. We tried the porridge for pudding during lunch time.

Next we prepared the potatoes ready for our haggis, neeps and tatties Burns Supper!

First we washed our hands and rolled up our sleeves. The table had been washed and all of the equipment. We peeled, chopped, boiled, strained, mashed, served and ate the mashed tatties. We set the table, poured the drinks and gave a toast. We were very brave and tried most of the foods. To become more comfortable with the new, sometimes scary, foods we used all of our senses – smelling, tasting and feeling the different textures of the food. Do you you like our home-made tartan placemats? We also enjoyed listening to some traditional Scottish music to make it a true party!
