Hello P5 boys and girls,

I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend and that everyone who celebrated Eid had a joyful time with your families.

The staff at our school created a video to share with you about us sharing acts of kindness, making traditional food and enjoying spending time with family.

It would be lovely to hear about how your family prepared and celebrated Eid so send me anything you want to be shared.

Science fun from Otis and Iggy-

Otis and his brother Iggy sent Miss Brooks this fabulous video of them carrying out the Coke and Mentos experiment for us all to share and enjoy. Well done boys!

Good morning P5 / 21st May 2020

HAPPY THURSDAY!

I hope you all had a fantastic day yesterday in the sunshine. I met and spoke to Galia and her brother outside her house and they looked happy and healthy.

Celebrations: Ramadan and Eid! 

I know so many of you are so looking forward to Eid. If you do not celebrate Ramadan or Eid did you look at the powerpoint that I posted on the blog on Tuesday 19/5/20?  The Ramadan powerpoint explains why Ramadan is so important to Muslims so this would be a great time to learn all about the celebration. Remember, we are all different and  it is so important to learn about other people’s faiths and religions.

Literacy-

Why not write a few sentences about what you are most looking forward to this Eid or what Ramadan and Eid mean to you. If you do not celebrate Ramadan or Eid you could write about what you have learned from the Ramadan powerpoint. I would love to read your stories so remember to email them to me. I would only post them on the blog if you agree it’s okay.

Computing-

As we are all using the internet more during lockdown here  are a couple of video clips to help you understand how the internet and search engines work (link below).

Have a great May Weekend and have a fantastic Eid Celebration.

Good morning P5 / Tuesday 19th May 2020

Hello boys and girls,

How are you all today? Yesterday my son Mark and I went out for a walk and got caught in a downpour and ended up absolutely soaked. I suppose the flowers and trees will be happy as they needed a drink of water.

The end of Ramadan is nearly here and Eid-ul-Fitr is at the weekend. Here is a powerpoint (link below) about Ramadan. I really enjoyed learning about how Ramadan is a very important time for Muslims.

Happy Friday P5 / 15th May 2020

Hello boys and girls,

It was so nice talking on the phone to your parents and some of you yesterday. I spoke to Eesa, Inaaya, Hasan, Iqra and Fatimah. I am delighted that you are staying very positive and upbeat during these strange lockdown times. It’s great to hear that you have been outside exercising on your bikes and keeping active.  Hopefully I will manage to speak to more of you over the next few days as I continue making my phone calls.

Today’s Tasks

Topic-

How did you get on with using the mnemonic  “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles” to help you remember the order of the planets?

Why not take this short quiz to see what you can remember about the planets (link below).

Good afternoon P5 / 14th May 2020

Hi everyone,

Yesteday I spoke to some of your parents and some of you which was lovely. I’m so pleased to hear you are doing well and staying safe and healthy. Today I’m going to continue phoning parents and hope to speak to you on the phone too.

I replied to Noor Fatimah and Mohamed on the blog yesterday. It would be great to hear from everyone as it helps us all stay in touch.

Today’s Tasks

Topic-

Did you watch the short video clip on yesterday’s blog about some of the properties the planets in our solar system have? We discovered that our Solar System has eight “official” planets. These planets orbit the Sun. Here are the planets listed in order of their distance from the Sun:

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

An easy way to remember the planet order is to use a mnemonic. A  mnemonic is a pattern of letters, ideas, or associations which assists in remembering something.

To remember the order of the planets a good mnemonic is “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles.”

See if you can learn the order of the planets.

Maths-

Have-a-go at these multiplication sums (links below) and let me know if you find them too easy, okay or a bit tricky.
