Sent with the BIGGEST virtual hug from me!
Miss Robb 🙂

Good morning everyone!

Mrs McCaig here…….all set to welcome you to P5/6 for our Virtual Bump Up week.  I am delighted to be your teacher next year and I cannot wait until we are back in school in our classroom – UPSTAIRS (the most exciting part!).  I am sure we are going to have a fantastic year filled with lots of fun, laughter and learning.  I know from Miss Robb just how good you all are at your Number Talks and Active Literacy strategies so I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you have to offer.  To get us started this week just click the link below to ask me any questions you have about next session.

Friday 18th June

Good morning primary 4/5,

Can you believe we have come to the end of another week and have only one week left to go! Don’t worry, next week brings exciting new things. On Monday, your new class teacher will be in touch, on this page, for a chance to get to know you – how exciting!

For today’s challenge I thought we could do one last ‘Peak and Pit’. Seen as this will be the last one I thought we could take this time to reflect on the year and do a ‘Peak and Pit’ of the year.

My ‘Peaks’ of the year are;

  • Meeting you all for the very first time. Oh how you have all grown up since then.
  • Doing diacritical dancing outside as part of our Literacy.
  • Going to Dumfries House for our educational trip – I learned so much about the animals that day!
  • And every Friday, when we came back from ‘Funtime Friday’ and we enjoyed a check in with each other, our ‘Group Selfie’ and the best team group hug (Oh how I’ve missed those).
  • Getting to spend my Monday to Friday with the best class ever, meant that every day was a Peak in my eyes 🙂

My ‘Pits’ of the year are;

  • Finishing primary 4/5 remotely.  I would have loved to see you all in person to say goodbye properly.
  • Does anyone remember when I hurt my toe? And my school shoes were killing me. I remember and that was definitely something I didn’t enjoy as much!
  • This whole year has been a challenge for me because I was new to Catrine Primary but soon I found my feet and settled in. Remember you will be new to primary 5/6 but it won’t take you long to find your feet and you will all have a fantastic time.

If I’m honest I could have written a book about the amount of things I enjoyed this year but I thought I better limit myself. Too many ‘Peaks’ to talk about 🙂

I can’t wait to read all about your “Peaks and Pits’ on your Glow blog.

Mrs Schendel has kindly entered you all into the East Ayrshire SumDog Challenge. So make sure and give it a go. Good luck!

Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Robb 🙂

Wednesday 17th June

Good morning,

For today’s activity I would like you to create a poster about returning back to school.  You can change the layout of your poster and be as creative as you want. I would like you to answer the questions though as I think it’s important that we have a check in and I would love to know how you are all feeling about returning to school.

I look forward to seeing you fantastic posters and hearing how you are feeling about returning to school.

Miss Robb 🙂

Monday 15th June

Good morning primary 4/5,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sunshine that popped out yesterday afternoon to surprise us!

Over the weekend I seen some amazing art work on Twitter and I thought it would be fun if we gave it a try. For today’s activity I would like you to make your own self portrait using outdoor bits and bobs. I have put a little example below:

This week the Sumdog and ActiveLearn activities are going to be focused on ‘money’.  I will create a competition on Friday so make sure to join in!

With not long left before the summer holidays we need one last push towards the end. You can do it primary 4/5! Keep up the fantastic work 🙂

Have a lovely week.
Miss Robb 🙂

Friday 12th June

Good morning,

Can you believe it’s Friday again? I can’t quite believe it!

Do you remember ‘Feel Good Friday’? On a Friday we would choose someone in the class, take their photo and write all the things we love about them around their picture. We tried to make this as personal as possible and we made sure it wasn’t always related to school achievements. This always made the selected person feel extra special. Not long ago we done a Feel Good Friday on ourselves.

For today’s activity you are going to do a Feel Good Friday on someone else in your family. I would like you to draw a picture of the person and then ask your family to help you out. You are going to ask them each for 1 thing they love about the selected person. They might mention things you are good at, things they have done to be helpful or just something they really like about them. You can include grandparents and friends by phoning and asking them to help you out.

I would love to see your Feel Good Friday. Remember you can show me by updating your blog!

Have a lovely weekend 🙂 
Miss Robb

Wednesday 10th June

Good morning,

For today’s challenge I would like you to spot as many things as possible around your house, starting with the letters in your name.

M – microwave, mop

I – iPad, ice tray

S – scissors, sideboard

S – shoes, shirt

R – rubber, refrigerator

O – oranges, ornament

B – bananas, bath

B – blanket, bed

This is just a small list to get you start. I expect you all to have a list as long as… YOU! Just kidding but I’m sure your list will be far more impressive. Then I want you to challenge yourself and create some super sentences using some of the words from the list you have created.

I would love to hear from you all today. You can email me at EAalanah.robb@glow.sch.uk and tell me what you have been doing to keep busy over the past few day. I look forward to receiving your emails!

Have a lovely day. Missing you all LOTS!
Miss Robb 🙂

Monday 8th June

Good morning,

I hope you all had a fantastic sports day. I loved seeing all your videos and photos. Thank you so much for sharing!

For today’s activity I would like you to practice your multiplication outside in the garden. Do you remember we practiced number lines with chalk and arrays with stones.

9 x 4 =   5 x 7 =   8 x 3 =   7 x 9 =   2 x 8 =
3 x 6 =   4 x 8 =   7 x 7 =   3 x 8 =   5 x 3 =

I would like you to answer the above calculations using a number line or an array pattern. Remember you can use sticks, stones, leaves or anything you have around the house, for your array pattern.

As always you have new activities on Sumdog, ActiveLearn and ReadingWise! 🙂

Have a lovely day.
Miss Robb

Friday 5th June

IT’S SPORTS DAY!!!!!

Sac Race
For this race you are going to need a pillow case, a timer and a measuring tape. You need to measure out 5 meters, marking the start and finish. Then you are good to go! You will complete the 5 meters, 5 times. So that’s 25 meters 🙂

Burpee Challenge
For this challenge you are going to need to set a timer for 1 minute and do as many burpees as possible. Ask someone to help count your reps. A rep is complete when you have finished the move by jumping and clapping at the top. Here is a a little demo:

 

* You can find the details of the family challenges on the main blog! Make sure and get everyone involved 🙂 *

Good luck primary 4/5… not that you need it!

Remember to take as many photographs as possible and update your Blog with your photos and results! I can’t wait to hear how you all get on and see your fantastic efforts 🙂

Have the best time! 
Miss Robb

Wednesday 3rd June

Good morning primary 4/5,

I hope you are enjoying the health week activities so far. How did you get on with Mindfulness Monday? I would love to see your TikTok’s if you created one. Remember you can upload them to your Blog!

Walking Wednesday

Today is all about walking and getting those steps in. I know a lot of you have been enjoying walks with your family already and that’s great. It is so important to get out in the fresh air.

Today you might want to plan a longer walk or explore a new route. You might decide to do some extra walking around the garden or house today.

You can also increase your steps by making healthier choices. Instead of asking your parents to get you a drink or bring you something you could do it for yourself. Likewise, you could offer to help around the house today doing little jobs. That way you will be getting lots of extra steps in!

Have a lovely day. 
Miss Robb 😀

Monday 1st June

Good morning,

Welcome to  Health Week. This week we are going to be doing lots of activities with a key focus of Heath and Wellbeing. Mrs Ferguson had an excellent idea and came up with a key focus for each day:

Mindfulness Monday 
TikTok Tuesday
Walking Wednesday 
Thoughtful Thursday 
Fruity Friday 

Mindfulness Monday

Mindfulness is when you pay full attention to something. It’s when you slow down to really notice what you’re doing. Being mindful is the opposite of rushing or multitasking. It’s not thinking about what is next or what you have just done, it is concentrating on the now.

We can practice being mindful is lots of fun ways. Do you remember when we used to lie on the mats and do our breathing exercises in PE. That is being mindful. We had to concentrate on breathing in through our nose and out through our mouths and we had to really think about relaxing our bodies.

You can practice being mindful by doing some stretches. Do you remember the stretches we used to do before gymnastics? I would always here some ‘oh’ or ‘ouch’. That is when you have noticed that your body is a little bit tight or achy somewhere. That is being mindful of your body

What about mindful eating. Do you normal eat your lunch with the tele on or whilst playing a game. Then you are not being present in the moment. Today you could try mindful eating. This is when you really pay attention to the food you are eating and really enjoy the taste and feeling it gives you. You might notice the  taste, texture, and flavours of food really start to stand out to you.

Or if none of that suits you could try some mindfulness colouring. You might be colouring in a picture and really thinking about the colours that you are using. If you choose to use a red pencil you might be thinking about why you have chosen that and why it is best suited.

Why mindfulness? Mindfulness improves our overall health and well-being. We feel more relaxed by paying attention to the present moment. We are also training our minds to focus which is an important during learning. We always do better when we’re able to pay attention to what we’re doing.

I would love to hear all about your Mindfulness Monday. Remember you can update your blog or send me an email.

Have lovely Monday. Miss Robb 🙂

Friday 29th May

Good morning primary 4/5,

It is another gorgeous morning and the sun is shining!

For today’s activity you are going to design your own App for a phone. I want you to take some time and have a think about the following questions:

Who is the App for? For example, children adults, etc.

What is the purpose of the App? For example, a game, social media, shop,

How is the App going to work? What functions on the phone are you going to use? For example, will you use the camera, side buttons, swiping motion etc

How much is the App going to cost? 

Then you are going to create your own logo for the App. This is how it will appear on phones. Make sure you are creative as possible at this part to make your App stand out!

Then I want you to try and sell this App to someone in your house. Why your App? Why is it the best? What can it do that the other Apps can’t? Why is it worth the money? 

I would love to see how you get on with this activity. You can update your Blog or send me an email.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy this beautiful sunshine we are going to have! 
Miss Robb

Wednesday 27th May

Good morning,

Today  we are going to have a look at this picture and short story from Poggle 365.

The Forbidden Tower 

The night was still. Not a breath of wind could be felt. An eerie silence filled the warm evening air, broken only by the sound of the crow’s wings flapping as it returned to its nest with food.

Combined with the ghostly silhouette of the tower and the rickety pathway that led to it, the ominous silence made Lucy nervous. She felt a prickle on the back of her neck as she thought about what she might find inside the tower, and what might be lurking in the darkness around her.

Her heart began to thump inside her chest, seemingly matching the beat of the crow’s wings.

Lucy had always been slightly wary of crows; they had sooty, black wings, piercingly sharp beaks and menacing, staring eyes. The crow had settled down in one of the gnarled branches of a nearby tree. She thought it was watching her. Surely it wasn’t though? Crows didn’t do that. It must have been her imagination.

Plucking up all of her courage, she approached the stairs. They looked rotten and crumbling, as if nobody had set foot on them for years and years. The crow was still staring at her, and had tilted its head to one side as if pointing its beak towards the tower. “What was this crow up to?” she thought to herself.

“Are you trying to warn me about something?” she asked the crow. The crow did not respond, only shuffling its feet slightly on the branch, head still tilted to one side. She frowned. “Of course you’re not trying to warn me about something, you’re just a stupid bird.”

Her eyes left the crow and she ascended the first few steps on the rickety path towards the tower. “It’s just a silly bird.” Lucy muttered to herself under her breath. “Don’t be such a wimp.”

The crow watched as she left, and smiled. A wicked, cruel smile accompanied by a cackling laugh. “Silly, silly girl” it squawked. “I must tell the others she is coming.”

The crow took off into the night…

Activity 1: Questions
– If you were Lucy, would you investigate the tower or go back home?
– Why do you think lots of scary stories are set at night?
– What’s the difference between a silhouette and a shadow?
– Are stars and the moon sources of light? Do they light up the night?

Activity 2: Continue the story
– Can you continue Lucy’s story as she visits the Forbidden Tower?  – Where was the crow going?
– What would Lucy find inside?

Activity 3: Picture 
– Imagine what one of the rooms inside the tower looks like. Draw or write down what you have imagined.

Activity 4: Create a book cover. 
– What do you think the book cover looks like? Create your own book cover to go with this short story.

For today’s activity I would like you to choose 2 of the options above.

I love seeing how you are all getting on with the activities and hearing about the other things you are doing. You can keep me updated by posting on your Glow blog!

Have a lovely day.
Miss Robb 🙂

Friday 22nd May

Good morning primary 4/5,

It’s Friday which means we have nearly completed another whole week of remote learning 🙂

Do you know that physical activity is beneficial to your mental health? When you exercise chemicals called endorphins are released into your body. Endorphins are natural chemicals produced by our brain to boost our happiness. So today I would like you to do some physical activity. That might be PE with Joe Wicks, a fitness challenge, playing in your garden or a walk to get your steps in.

Do you remember ‘Feel Good Friday’? On a Friday we would choose someone in the class, take their photo and write all the things we love about them around their picture. We tried to make this as personal as possible and we made sure it wasn’t always related to school achievements. This always made the selected person feel extra special.

For today’s activity you are going to do a Feel Good Friday on yourself. I would like you to draw a picture of yourself and then ask your family to help you out. You are going to ask them each for 1 thing they love about you. They might mention things you are good at, things you have done to help them or just something they really like about you. You can include grandparents and friends by phoning and asking them to help you out. Remember that kindness, in the form of a compliment, benefits both the giver and receiver. So by the end of today you and everyone who has helped you will be feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

What better way to end our Mental Health Awareness Week. I hope you have enjoyed learning a little more about mental health and the benefits of kindness this week. I certainly have!

Have a lovely weekend primary 4/5!
Miss Robb 🙂

Wednesday 20th May

Good morning,

Keeping on the theme of mental health awareness we are going to think about activities that we can do to take care of our own mental health.

I want you to have a think about small achievable activities that you can implement into your daily routine. For example, playing your favourite song, enjoying a cup of tea or spending time outdoors. It is important though that these are personal to you and that they make a positive difference to your day.

Once you have decided on three activities, I would like you to upload them to your Blog. By doing this you are committing to your self care routine of carrying out these activities daily. As we know it is very important to look after ourselves, even more so during these uncertain times.

This is a game that I seen online called Kindness Bingo. I absolutely love the idea but some of the activities you wouldn’t be able to do because of the lockdown restrictions. It gave me the idea that we could create our own Kindness Bingo. So your activity for today is to create your own Kindness Bingo full of acts of kindness that you can do. Then of course, you need to play it!

In the words of Lexie,’ Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud’. 🙂
Miss Robb

 

Monday 17th May 

Good morning primary 4/5,

In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week, we are going to raise awareness by talking about mental health and joining in on some fun activities this week.

First, I would like you to have a conversation with someone at home about mental health. You might want to find out: What is mental health? Who has mental health? Do I have mental health?

This years theme is Kindness. Kindness is defined by doing something towards yourself and others, to make a positive difference. Research suggests that kindness and mental health are connected.

For today’s activity you are going to create a poster for Mental Health Awareness Week, sharing your ideas on how we can be kinder to ourselves and to others. You may want to display your poster in a window to inspire others to be kinder. Through small acts of kindness we can create a kinder world.

During this week, I would like you to carry out acts of kindness. Remember kindness comes in all shapes and sizes. It might be that you do a job around the house, or give a compliment to someone or ask a neighbour how they are. Whatever you choose to do, know that you are making a positive difference by doing so!

I can’t wait to see your amazing posters and hear all about your acts of kindness. Remember to update your Glow blog.

Miss Robb  😀

Friday 15th May

Good morning,

Today you are going to explore your senses. I would like you to go outdoors for todays activity. Think about the world around you.

What can you see?

What can you hear?

What can you touch?

What can you smell?

Now I want you to think about describing what you can see, hear, touch and smell using adjectives. Remember, an adjective is describing word. For example, I can see the beautiful blue sky. The adjective here is blue.

Next, I would like you to create super sentences about what you can see, hear, touch and smell. I would love to see your sentences so make sure and upload to your Blog.

Finally, you have another SumDog spelling test. You can participate in this at any point today. Remember this is just for fun. Good luck!

Sent with a virtual hug! Miss Robb 🙂

Wednesday 13th May

Good morning,

Today you are going to explore ‘Time’. If you go onto BBC bitesize you will see a series of lessons/videos on Time. I would like you to start by watching these videos.

Then you are going to make your own analogue clock. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube that will help you create an analogue clock. You can draw round a plate onto paper to get the base of your clock. Then you need to think about the hours and minutes. Finally you need to put in the hours and minutes hands. Then it’s the fun part – decorate your clock!

When your clock is ready you can play a game. You can ask people in your house, ‘Whats the time Mr Wolf?’. They will tell you a random time and you need to display that on your clock. Or, you can create your own Time game. You can keep this game and play it whenever you needing something to do.

Challenge: Can you take a picture of your clock displaying the following times: half past 2, quarter past 7, quarter to 12. Remember to upload the pictures to your Glow blog.

I am looking forward to seeing all your super clocks. Have a lovely day. 🙂
Miss Robb

Monday 11th May

Good morning primary 4/5,

I hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the holiday on Friday. I would love to hear what you got up to on Friday. Did you celebrate VE day? If so, what did you do to celebrate? You can let me know by updating your Blog.

For today’s challenge you are going to get creative and upcycle a tin. You might need to raid the recycling box to find a used tin of beans or soup for this or ask someone at home for helping finding a tin.

When you have your tin, it is time to get creative and decorate it. You can use paint, pens or pencils to decorate your tin. Your tin is going to be transformed into something for the garden. It might be a garden decoration or a plant pot.

I’m sure you all have amazing ideas of how you are going to transform your old tin into something beautiful. These will make the perfect gift for someone that you are missing or will be a lovely addition to your own garden.

I am looking forward to seeing your upcycled tins. Have lovely day. Miss Robb 🙂

 

Friday 8th May

VE Day

Today we celebrate VE day (Victory in Europe Day), which is the anniversary of the surrender of Germany at the end of World War II in 1945.

Follow this link to watch a small clip on VE day: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/history-ks2-ve-day/z7xtmfr

To celebrate this day and develop your understanding, I would like you to do some research yourself. You can talk to family members and find out what they know about this day. You can also search the internet – BBC Newsround will have lots of relevant information.

To share your learning on this I would like you create a poster or a Blog post. You should include pictures, key facts and any other relevant information.

I look forward to seeing your posters or Blog posts!
Miss Robb 🙂

Wednesday 6th May

Good morning primary 4/5,

I hope you’re enjoying your week so far and are making the most of the glorious sunshine.

For today’s challenge you are going to create your own Haka. Whats a Haka? I hear you ask. The Haka is a ceremonial dance from Maori culture, used by the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team.

First of all, you might want to do a bit of research and watch the Haka being performed – try YouTube. What do you think? Did you enjoy it? I have been fortunate enough to see this live at Murrayfield Stadium and it was breathtaking! Although, it is rather unusual, if you haven’t seen it before. Did you notice the powerful movements, foot stomps and rhythmic chanting?

Ok, so now you’re up to date with the Haka. Its time take inspiration from Maori culture and create your own Haka. Make sure you include powerful movements, hand gestures, foot stomping, rhythmic chanting and plenty of facial expressions.

Once you have created your Haka, you are going to get your family involved. Teach them your Haka and perform it as a group. If this doesn’t get you laughing – I don’t know what will!

I can’t wait to hear all about your Haka experience. Remember to keep us updated via e-mail or your Glow blog – I love to see what you’re doing!

I hope you have the best day filled with laughter!
Missing you all dearly.
Miss Robb 🙂

Monday 4th May

Good morning,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready for another fantastic week of remote learning. 🙂

For today’s activity we are going to create our word list for the week. The new phoneme is ‘j’ with the representations ‘j’, ‘g’ and ‘dge’. I have given you one example with each representation to get you started:

j – juice
g – giraffe
dge – hedge

Remember to list as many words as possible, for all of the representations. Make sure and challenge yourself to find showstoppers, like we do in class. When you have completed your word list you can send me a picture via e-mail or upload your work to  your Glow blog.

Challenge – Can you diacritical mark some of the words on your list? Remember that a single sound/phoneme is represented by a dot.  A joined phoneme is represented by a line and a split sound is represented with a bridge/arch.

Finally, I have updated your activities on SumDog, ActiveLearn and ReadingWise. Lets make this week a good one!

Enjoy your day.
Miss Robb 😀

Friday 1st May

Good morning,

Numeracy Challenge

For today’s challenge you are going to create your own board game. Your board game should be something that you can play on your own or with a partner. This way when you have are looking for something to do you can play a game on your own or challenge a family member!

Things to include:

  • Rules – Make sure your rules are clear and will be understood by everyone.
  • Include all types of calculations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
  • Title – Give your board game a name.
  • Make sure your board game is colourful.

Have a think about the numeracy games we have played in class. Can you remember a game that you really liked? Could you recreate something similar? If you are struggling to get started, think about a snakes and ladders style game – you can’t go wrong!

I hope you enjoy creating your own board game. I can’t wait to see the end result – please send me an e-mail or upload your finished board game to your Blog! Good luck – I know you superstars will challenge some of your families numeracy skills!

Friday spelling test – Yeah that’s right! I’ve set up a little spelling test on SumDog recapping some of the words we have looked at so far. This is just a little bit of fun. If you have time today you can participate through SumDog. Good luck!

As always, stay safe and have a lovely weekend.
Miss Robb 🙂

 

Wednesday 29th April

Good morning,

For today’s challenge you are going to create a survey. For this you are going to need a pencil and some paper.

First, have a think about what your survey is going to be about. In class we had a variety of different ideas – favourite animal, colour, food and place.

Once you have decided, create your questions. For example, if I was doing favourite colour my questions would be:

Is your favourite colour pink? 
Is your favourite colour blue?

Then you want to carry out the survey. Remember to gather your data using tally marks.  Perhaps you could phone family members to involve them in your survey.

When you have gathered your data, you then want to create a results table. This is when you count your tally marks and find the total.

Challenge: Can you display your results in a graph? 

I am looking forward to seeing the results of your survey. Have a lovely day!
Miss Robb 🙂

Monday 27th April

Good morning primary 4/5,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend enjoying the sunshine. I spent most of Saturday in the garden reading my new book – it was fab!

For today’s challenge we are going to be thinking about the SHANARRI health and wellbeing indicators. Can you remember what each letter stands for?

Safe
Healthy
Active
Nurtured
Achieving
Responsible
Respected
Included

I would like you to choose one of the indicators and create a poster representing what that indicator means to you. Think about the posters we made for the classroom. Your poster should be bright, eye catching, include words and pictures. You should then upload your poster to your Blog. If you have forgotten how to upload to your Blog then follow this link for instructions: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/ea/catrinepsmain2019/2020/04/24/how-to-post-on-your-blog/

I have updated your online learning with new activities. Keep up the good work primary 4/5!

Miss Robb

Friday 24th April

Good morning primary 4/5,

I thought that we could start doing some fitness related challenges on a Friday. Each week we can build on our fitness, increasing the difficulty of the challenges as time goes on. This weeks challenge is a plank hold. Watch the sway video for some hints and tips.

Friday Fitness Challenge

Number Talks

Remember the aim of this is to try and use a variety of different strategies. How many strategies can you use?

As always, stay safe and enjoy your weekend 🙂
Miss Robb


Wednesday 22nd April

Good morning boys and girls, it looks like it is going to be another beautiful day today.

Outdoor Learning

Did you know that today is Earth Day? For today’s challenge you are going to make your own nature cuff from outdoor materials. All you need is some sellotape and some time outdoors, in your garden, to collect materials.

First you need wrap the sellotape around your wrist, sticky side up. Then you simply stick your materials onto the sellotape. The results are fantastic!

Or…

If making nature bracelets isn’t your thing. You can create a picture using outdoor materials. This can be ambient art (think big) or you could create something smaller.

Number Talks

How many different strategies can you try? Think about the strategies you’re using. Are they effective? Are they efficient?

I hope you all have a lovely day. I look forward to seeing your work on your Glow blog.

Miss Robb 🙂


Monday 20th April 

Good morning primary 4/5, I hope you are all well and enjoyed your Easter holidays. I am looking forward to getting back into a routine and hearing from you all again.

Challenge:

For today’s challenge you are going to write a letter. You can write your letter to a friend in primary 4/5 or to me. In your letter I would like you to answer the following questions:

  • What have you been doing during the Easter holidays?
  • How are you feeling about lockdown? How did you feel at the start of lockdown? Have your feelings changed from then?
  • What do you miss about school? What are you looking forward to on return to school?
  • What do you enjoy about homeschooling?

These are some questions to get you started. You can include any other information you would like. Remember to include as much detail as possible. On return to school we can exchange letters.

I have updated SumDog, ActiveLearn and ReadingWise with new activities for you all to complete.

I hope you enjoy your first day back.
Miss Robb 🙂

Ps. I would love to see some blog posts about your Easter holidays!


Easter Holiday Update

Hi primary 4/5, I hope you all had a fantastic Easter holidays. It was certainly like no other Easter break we have had before but I tried to make the most of it none the less.

I did lots of baking – I baked flapjacks, millionaire slice, healthy cookies and attempted my first ever soda bread (red onion, chorizo and paprika – YUM). My sister made chocolate covered honeycomb which tasted SOO good!

I spent a lot of my time outside in the garden enjoying the sunshine whilst it was shining. Did you enjoy the nice weather? I had to wear suncream over the weekend because it was glorious and I didn’t want to get burned!

My sister entered a family dance routine competition. I spent all of Saturday morning learning her choreography and filming our routine. It was so much fun, I loved it! Heres a few pictures of us – don’t we look like professionals?

And in case you’re wondering, WE WON!!! Charlotte was really happy. After all her hard work she definitely deserved to win.

Now that I’ve eaten all the Easter chocolate it is time to get back into a bit of fitness. Keep your eyes open for fitness challenges, that you can all to participate in. 🙂
