Braidbar Primary 5 Blog

Good morning. I hope you and your family are doing well.

I will keep posting instructions and advice here for this week. Please try and keep a balance in your household – do what you can with your children as and when. Hopefully your child can do most of the work independently, but please feel free to take their learning in other directions. They are very capable of doing DIY work (not the home improvement kind yet!)

Hopefully yesterday you were able to access our Google Classroom space. If not, you can access it through the tile on Glow. It is compatible with Windows, Chromebooks, iOS and Android devices. Everyone has working passwords and login details – they should have a note of them in their diary. I have resent invitations to a few individuals who had not yet joined the classes. Just press “Accept”

Your child (or you) can ask questions in the Google Classroom Stream – I will try to address any questions asap. Please try to encourage your child to only ask questions about tasks they may have. They don’t need to indicate they have done the task in that stream – they can press “hand in” on each task to show it has been completed.

I would still recommend Joe Wick’s PE sessions daily at 9am and  Glasgow Science Centre at Home at 10am. A great way to start the day.

Thanks to everyone for your positive energy and hard work. I hope you have a peaceful day.

Mr C

Good morning to you all. I hope you and your family are well.

I will be posting instructions and advice here for this week. Please try and keep a balance in your household – please do whatever works for you. It will take some time for all of us to bed in to this way of working – progress, not perfection!

Most of your child’s work will be on their Google Classroom space. They can access it through the tile on Glow. It should be compatible with Windows, Chromebooks, iOS and Android devices. All children have working passwords and login details – they should have a note of them in their diary.

Your child (or you) can ask questions in the Google Classroom Stream – I will try to address any questions asap.

A lot of great learning opportunities can be accessed online, as you know. A few ongoing recommendations would be Joe Wick’s PE sessions daily at 9am (I will be doing them too!) And every day at 10am –  Glasgow Science Centre at Home

Thank you for your support and solidarity.

Mr C

STEM

We will continue to do our STEM homework this week (hand in on Thursday) I refer you to last week’s post by the STEM committee:

“Homework for STEM week is to take part in this STEM selfie challenge.  The idea for this challenge was created by the STEM committee and it is to encourage children to engage in STEM activities outside of school.

Children should take a selfie doing something related to Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths, print the picture and write their NAME, HOUSE and CLASS on the back of the picture.

They should bring this into school where we will create a display board of all the selfies.  The STEM committee will judge and select an overall first, second and third place winners.  They will receive point for their house.  Family pictures are more than welcome but please ensure each child has a copy of their picture to submit.  Please bring pictures to school by Thursday 19^th March.

Good luck and happy STEM-ing J

Maths

Following the success of last week’s efforts , we will run another class SumDog competition this week! Please use your login in your diary to compete against your maths group! There will be an overall prize and a prize for each maths group winner. Please complete the suggested tasks by Friday.
