Home Learning Activities
Stalmine Primary School Time Capsule:
We're going to be making a time capsule.
Once pupils have returned to school, we will be burying it on the school site with instructions that it is not to be opened for 50 years. In 50 years time, some pupils may still be in the village and might even be asked to come back to school!
In it we will be putting a school diary of the current events and a few newspaper articles.
We would also like each pupil to write a letter to pupils of the future. In it they can talk about how they felt during this time; what it was like to have to stay at home; what they got up to at home - what a typical day might be; who they were with at home; how they got the shopping; the effect on their friendships and how they stayed in touch with family.
We will then put all of these in a scrapbook which will be buried within the capsule.
Online and E-Safety:
All parents at Stalmine School have been given access to Britannica Online Encycopedia - this is recommended to be used for research rather than online searchers. However, where searches are being conducted online we advise the use of children's search engine www.swiggle.org.uk
It is vital that when using the links provided by school, pupils are supervised by an adult. Every effort has been made by all Stalmine Staff to ensure that all links are appropriate and suitable for pupils use.
Further advice on using the internet in the home and staying safe can be found on our E-safety home learning page here.

Lancashire PE:
Over the past couple of weeks the Lancashire School Games Organisers team, Active Lancashire and the Lancashire PE team have been developing a PE, school sport and physical activity resource/timetable.
The resource is centred around 4 key themes:
Move - resources that help children to achieve 60 active minutes.
Learn - Skill and sports skill development. Activities are adapted from the Lancashire PE Scheme Of Work.
Challenge - A weekly personal best challenge linked to the weekly PE Learn activity along with a current /trending challenge or other type challenge.
Play - providing ideas and resources for children to be active through play.
This website will constantly be updated as they develop new ideas. A new resource with updated links, games, PE tasks and challenges will be uploaded each week.
Please note these come with example videos on Youtube, we would recommend supervising your child whilst using Youtube videos to ensure they remain safe online.
Year 1 & 2 Week 1 Week 2 Week 3
The Lancashire SGO’s are offering a Prize draw and any videos/photos that are posted on social media will go into this weekly draw. This is for children only!
