Nursery Blog

Week Beginning 15/03/21

The story this week’s learning in the nursery will be based around is:

                            Five minutes’ peace by Jill Murphy

Meet Lulu the lion cub with cosmic yoga

Tidy up with The Mission Impossible countdown.

We  will be thinking about the people who help us.                                 Encourage your children to say, ‘thank you’. Talk about who helps them and how to thank them. 

We will talk about the ways we can show our thanks to people.                           Design a thank you card. 

The children will explore the concept of time. They will experience the passing of time by using timers to see how long tasks take.                                          Time your child putting on their shoes.

P2 Homework 15th March

General homework for 15th March 2021

Literacy – Look in your child’s homework jotter for their spelling homework this week. There is a task for their tricky words and for our sounds pattern this week – we look back at ‘magic e’ this week.
Maths – There is a worksheet in your child’s homework this week about when we usually do certain routines. Again, please have a discussion about this and think about the time word answers (such as morning or specific times as appropriate.)
Reading – Reading books will go home this week on Thursday to return next week on Monday. Reading books will not go out where a book has not been returned.

Primary 7 Homework for Thursday 18th of March

Welcome back Primary 7! This week we are celebrating Science Week, which will be reflected in your homework task.

Spelling

Choose one task from the grid attached to help you practise your spelling patterns this week. 

On Friday, we will design and create a poster for the Science Week competition. The title for the poster is: Innovating for the Future. 

During the week, you may want to start to think about this theme and start some research for the content. Here is some information about the competition theme to give you inspiration:

To research your poster


Investigate and imagine ‘Innovating for the future’ and everything that makes it special. Here are some topic ideas to get you started:


1) Think about your own innovation– from inventing your own toy that you want to share with your friends to a useful machine that will help your family or the whole world! How will it change the ways of play, sports and leisure, entertainment, communications, work, or even school?


2) Feeling futuristic and global? Why not think about an innovation – new ideas, inventions, products or services we have never heard before that would make the world
a better place?


3) Do you know someone who is an awesome innovator? Try to showcase their innovations and reflect on how this person’s innovations impacted the lives of many.


4) Everyday innovations can be easily overlooked. Identify common innovations that you use daily and give a thought on how your life would be without them.

On Friday, we will create our posters. If you find something that you really want to use for your poster, bring it with you to help inspire you! 

As always, any questions, please just ask me.
