I hope you have a lovely weekend and enjoy the snow! If you are looking for something to do, why not try and build a snow house for a small toy animal like we did on our forest schools trip last week.? You could take a photograph of it and email it to me at kpearce@sandersonswynd.elcschool.org.uk . I will add it to our new class blog.
I look forward to seeing you all back on Monday!
Don’t forget to practice your songs for the Wriggly Nativity!

Hello!!

I hope you are enjoying your snow days!

If you would like some activities to keep you busy then have a look at the list below.

* NASA kids website – It has lots of space activities.

* Topmarks is a great website.  Look out for time, weight and numeracy games.

This is also a brilliant opportunity for you to work on your BIG BOOK topic.  I am really looking forward to reading them.  I am very pleased with the hard work that has gone into them so far.

Keep warm, keep safe!

Hello, everyone! I hope you’re having a great extra holiday and keeping warm.
P1 and 2 .. If you’re looking for something to do .. Please keep practising our songs and words for the Nativity. We won’t have so much time to get it ready, now. Also, the recording company are coming on Wednesday to make our CD!
Hope to see you all soon.

Sanderson’s Wynd 2011 Calendars will make an ideal stocking filler and can be ordered from the school. A self portrait of each child has been placed under their birthday month. Order forms will be issued next week. Calendars can be purchased at:

£4 each or 3 for £10.

A bargain!

Here are some idea for things to do at home while we are all off school because of the snow.

You can continue with your times table squares and play some of the maths games on

Instead of your Space log you could write a Snow log.  Tell us how the snow has affected your life and what sort of things you have been doing.  Some drawings or pictures would be good too.

Also have a look at the websites posted for P7 and the Space activities.

The school and the playground are looking quite different at the moment!

Hope you are all keeping safe but still enjoying the snow. Here are some ideas of things you can do at home.

1.Play battleships- work on your co-ordinates.

2. Give yourself an imaginary  budget of £400. Can you go online and see if you could afford skis, goggles, boots and an outfit to wear on the slopes ? They must be new. Write down what website you found them on, what make they are and what price. Who can have the most change ?

3. Use the snow to practise tricky spelling words

4. Research Japanese homes. What are the similarities and differences to ours? Comment back on the blog. look at http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/virtual/house/house04.html

5.Look at different types of leaflets. Write down different features of leaflets so we can make one of our own.

6.  A collective noun is the name for a group of somethinge.g., a swarm of bees. http://www.rinkworks.com/words/collective.shtml Make a list of 10 collective nouns.

Our E-magazine group will meet on Monday after school.  Please remember to bring your letters back.

Hopefully we will have some good ideas for our first issue but remember to have a look at any magazines you have in the house for ideas on our layout or features that we could include.

Here are a couple of activities P7 can do based on our Space topic.

You can find the information you will need on

You can also try to look at the stars (If it ever stops snowing long enough!!).  Winter nights can be the best time to look at the constellations.  See if you can see the “Plough” or “Orion”.  You might be lucky enough to spot a satellite orbiting the earth!

Good Morning P4,

Hope you are all enjoying the snow.  I’m putting up some websites for you to use.  You can use these to play some of the maths games we play in sets and class.
