Primary 1 Literacy
We hope you have received the little literacy pack that came home with your child this afternoon. This includes a yellow zip pocket, a yellow sheet of letters and a sheet full of ideas explaining how to use these cards.
Our sounds for this week are ‘a’ and ‘t’. Feel free to cut these out and begin to explore word making with your child.
We will update the website each week to let you know what sounds we will be covering throughout the week.

STEM – Paper Challenges
Welcome back to Queensferry Primary STEM Online.
This week there are three challenges to choose from across the whole school.
You can choose to try one, two or all three of these challenges. Choose from the height, length or distance challenge.
Use an A4 piece of paper to create something that fits the challenges in the videos.
I will post successful measurements at the bottom of this page and update it regularly. All of the video links are in the STEM classroom under the heading of Paper Challenges, just choose which one or ones you want to try. Remember you have to click on ‘present’ at the top, so the links work properly:
This is the link for the distance one if you choose to try that.
Good Luck

Mr B
STEM – Coke
Welcome back to another week of Queensferry Primary STEM Online.
This week there is no need to copy the activities at home, unless you really want to do them and the adults are happy for you to do them.
In my classroom, there are three videos linked to Early, First and Second Level.
Once you are in the classroom you may have to click on ‘Present’ to get it started.
The new Science Story is there too with the answer to last weeks story linked underneath.
Good luck.
