Good Morning!

I hope you are still getting out as much as possible and enjoying the garden/park. Remember to keep sending me your amazing work.

Here is Mohammad Ibrahim working really hard

I know so many of you are so looking forward to Eid so I wonder if today you could teach me a few things about your special celebration, Miss Bull has recorded a video asking you some questions below:

If you do not celebrate Ramadan or Eid this would be a great time to learn all about the celebration, it is so important to learn about other people’s faiths and religions – remember, we are all different and being different is GREAT!:

• What does ‘fasting’ mean? Why do Muslims fast during Ramadan?
• What do these words mean; Suhoor/Sehri, Iftar, Zakat?
• Ramadan is the ninth month in the islamic  Lunar calendar, but what is a lunar calendar based on?

Watch these videos about the Lunar cycle:

• Ramadan starts when religious leaders tell everyone that they have seen a certain type of moon – Which moon is that?
• What special things do you do with your family during the 3 day Eid celebrations?

Ask the adults in your family the questions to help you find out the answers and then ask them to help you type your answers into the comments box on the video.

Here is an interesting video all about a little boy called who shares his ideas of how to celebrate Ramdan with your family during the Corona Virus Lock Down.

Have a go at making your own Moon Binoculars to help you to keep an eye on the lunar cycle!

All you need is: 2 toilet roll tubes, some glue, some string, some clingfilm or plastic and some things to decorate!:

OR make a Crescent Moon card for a friend or family member!

Have a great day!

You can have a little chat in the comments section. I hope to see you all in the chat later!

Here is some of the work you have been doing so far!

Thanks for sending these to me. It’s great to see how hard you are all working 🙂

If you have any photos or pictures of work you would like me to put on the blog please send them to me!

Keep up the great work with the packs. Remember to keep me up to date with how your bean plant is growing.

Today’s story is being read by Miss Graham:

Before you start this story can you look at the front cover and try to predict what you think the story might be about. You can either try to draw a picture of this or tell an adult what you think might happen in the story.

Enjoy!

Hi

I hope everyone had a lovely time over the long weekend and got to spend some time in their gardens or walking in the parks near your home. All the teachers spent lots of time outside in the lovely weather! Here is a little video that was made to help you enjoy the outdoors:

What did you see when you were out your walk? Did you take any photos or draw any pictures?

I took some photos when I was out. Can you find my pictures in the video and write a sentence about what you can see?

Activity

We are going to do a little bit of shape revision. Can you find any shapes around your house to make a shape picture? Take a photo of what you make and send it to me, so I can see your amazing work!

Do you remember the names of these shapes you have found?

Do you remember the names of any 3D shapes?

Here is Winnie the Pooh being read by Miss Kinloch as I know you all miss her:

Have a great day!

Mr Forshaw

Hi

It was great to see you all today 🙂 Keep up all your amazing work!

You now have the rest of your packs you can work on but remember Friday is a holiday so you can have some time to relax. Monday the 11th is a in-service day so all the teachers will be busy learning new things so that means you can all have an extra day to rest.

Enjoy the long weekend and hopefully the sun stays out so you can all get out and enjoy it!

Remember to stay safe 🙂

Take Care

Mr Forshaw

Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed Miss Bulls lovely thank you message.

The weather is looking like it is going to be really lovely this week so it would be great if everyone could get outside as much as possible. That could be going for a walk in the park, riding your bike or helping out in the garden. I am trying to go out on my bike or go for a walk along the canal everyday to help me stay healthy!

As we know it is Spring time. Here is a video of Mr Corrigan showing us lots of the signs of Spring. When you are out your walk in the park or in your garden, have a look and see if you can see any signs of Spring!

You can take photos or draw a picture of what you have found! You can even try to write a little story about some of the signs of Spring you  noticed when you were out exploring. Use your sound cards that were in the packs to help you sound out some of the trickier words.

If you want to send me some of your fantastic work, I would love to see it!

You could try to make some of your own Spring at work. Here are some examples:

Have a great day in the sun!

Mr Forshaw

Miss Bull wanted to send you all a message, ask your adult to read it and then watch the video too!

“I am feeling very overwhelmed today by all of the love you and the incredible staff at St Alberts have shown me this weekend. I am so lucky to work at such an amazing school and to have the joy of teaching you all. It is a place of Love, Happiness and Hope that I miss so dearly. Here is a little message from me to you to say Thank you! Miss Bull”

Hi Everyone!

It was great to see you all yesterday when I was delivering the packs. As well as working on your packs you can also have a look at Mr Corrigan’s video about Cherry Blossom and if you are out a walk you can see if you can spot any where you live. I found lots of them in Bellahouston Park when I was delivering the packs yesterday.

You can also have a go at creating your own Cherry Blossom picture like Mr Corrigan:

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Mr Forshaw

Hi Everyone!

It would be great if everyone could stay active today and join in with Joe Wicks:

Keep practicing your sumdog questions as there will be another little fun game going up on sumdog tomorrow to see how much you have been learning this week.

Here is a great story about Spring, read by Miss Bull:

Keep a look out today as I will be delivering packs of work to all of your houses!!

Mr Forshaw

Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone is feeling good, I know it can be hard not getting to visit family and friends but always try to remember that these times will pass.

Here is a little video for you to watch to help you cope with lockdown:

As our focus this week is on Health and Wellbeing, here is  a video of our school assembly from Monday:

Can you write down some of the things that you worry about? After you have done this you can talk to your family about them. This can help you understand that other people might have the same worries as you and that it is okay to be worries about things.

I have also set some new challenges on Sumdog. This week we will focus on measurement. So you can try and complete the sumdog tasks or try some tasks at home:

Picture 1: You can use a coat hanger to see what is heavier!

Picture 2: You can use different cups and buckets of different shapes and sizes to see which one holds the most water!

Picture 3: You can draw around our hand and cut it out then use it to measure different objects in the house!

Have a great day everyone!

Mr Forshaw
