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.

Hi everyone,

I’ve had a great weekend relaxing and chatting on the phone to my family and friends. Lots of comments have been posted on the blog which is a good way to keep in touch with our class.  I have spoken to some of you during my phone calls to your homes and you have let me know that you have been reading, cooking, keeping active, planning Eid and spending time with your families.

As Eid is fast approaching here are some fun activities to keep you busy.

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

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?

Have a super weekend,

Mrs Hughes

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.

Hello P5,

I hope you had a lovely holiday weekend and managed to get ouside and enjoy the sunshine. As last week’s focus at St Albert’s was the outdoors the school staff have put together a short video for you to watch about being outside and enjoying nature. Why don’t you send me some pictures of you outside to post on our class blog.

Today’s Learning Tasks

Literacy-

In class we completed some work on identifing similes and metaphors.

Hello boys and girls,

I do hope you managed to get some fresh air and sunshine yesterday. This week the St Albert’s focus has been the outdoors and getting exercise. Using the map below can you plan a walk near our school that our class could take when we return to school.

Literacy-

Writing Task

In term 3 we created comic strips about superhero characters. A storyboard is a bit like a comic strip. It is a visual representation of the key actions within a film/television show/a book. Look at the example below. You will notice that it has:

• Individual pictures of the key scenes
• A brief description of the action in each shot
• Different camera shots

Try to create your own storyboard/comic strip. You should pick your favourite film/television series/book, and turn it into a storyboard/comic strip. Remember to provide a brief description of the key scenes.

Remember you can email me your work or post  comments on the blog and I will reply.

This weekend (Friday-Monday) would have been a holiday weekend so there will be no posts on the blog until Tuesday 12th May.

Enjoy your weekend,

Mrs Hughes

Plants need air, light, warmth, water and nutrients to be healthy. If they are healthy, they can continue making their own food through photosynthesis .

Happy Monday P5,

Art-

I’m in a creative mood today so why not join me in creating some art work. Have you heard of the very famous artist Pablo Picasso. Why not watch the short BBC video (link below) telling us what inspired him.

The artist also talks about the way he painted people. Rather than painting them the way they looked, he explored the face from different angles. He demonstrates studying a person’s profile and then their whole face to show how the facial features can appear to change when seen from a different angle. Why not have-a-go at creating your own Picasso picture by cutting up faces from magazines to make new ones using his techniques. P5 you are very talented artistically so I would love if you could take a picture of your art work and send it to me to post on the class blog.
