Hello boys and girls,

How are you all today? I’m feeling a little sad as it is my Mum’s birthday today and I would love to visit her. I usually take a cake and a present and give her a big hug but I’ll just phone her instead and sing happy birthday to her.

Hello everyone,

This week the school are focusing on making sure that everyone is keeping mentally well.  We are now in our 6th week of having to stay at home to make sure we stay safe so it is okay to feel sad, worried or confused about things. The important thing is that we spend time talking to someone in our family about it or you can email me at anytime and I will email you back. Sometimes it helps to keep ourselves distracted. This could be building something, playing an instrument, gardening, art, doing a puzzle, painting, cooking or spending time with a family member. Look at the chart below and check that you are taking care of yourself.

Take time today to share your feelings.

Hello boys and girls,

It’s another sunny day! I hope you had a lovely relaxing weekend. I kept myself busy by going for walks in the sunshine, sitting out in the garden and doing youtube exercise videos to make sure I stay fit and healthy.

Remember to send me pictures of what you have been getting up to or leave a comment and I will share them on our class blog .

Hello boys and girls,

It’s a scorcher today! I do hope you are able to get out and enjoy the sunshine.

Fun task-

Eco Schools-

Why not have a look at the St Albert’s Eco blog page. Miss Brooks has posted links to help you get involved with keeping Scotland beautiful.

Language-

Now that Mrs Brightman has finished reading Fantastic Mr Fox why not have-a-go at creating a book of your own.

• Think of ideas of possible stories.
• Choose one of your ideas and plan out the story, thinking about the setting and characters.
• Write the first draft of your story. Share this with someone in your family to get feedback.
• Edit your story, ensuring spelling and punctuation are correct.
• Think about the title, layout, front cover and illustrations of your book. Once you are ready, create your book.

You could post your book on the blog for everyone to share.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Hughes

Hello boys and girls,

I really enjoyed speaking to some of you on the phone yesterday and finding out what you are doing to pass the time since school is closed.

Here are a few activities to try-

First Bus have created a special learning pack for children during lockdown. Why not have-a-go working out the problem solving challenges.

First Bus Education pack FINAL April 2020

Tonight marks the start of the holy month of Ramadan which is a time that you usually meet and break fast with family and friends. Sadly, at this time it may not be possible to meet so Mrs Pattie from P4 thought that it would be nice to make a hug that you can send to people you miss.

All you need is some paper and pens to decorate.  You can use fabric to make the “arms” and paper to make the hands and heart but you can make the whole thing from paper if you don’t have any spare fabric. If you do have some fabric and want to try sewing go for it! You can write a message on the back of the hands to add something really special.

PE-

Your teachers at St Albert’s have made a funny exercise video for you to enjoy.

Remember to comment what you are doing and let me know what you would like to see on the blog.  If you want to send pictures of your work you can email them to me at the address below so I can share your work with the class:

Hello boys and girls,

It’s the end of TERM 3! I  would love to have spent what would have been our last school day before our Easter holiday break doing something fun together.  In order to stay safe we have to stay at home but  we can still  relax and do things we enjoy with our family.

Here are a few things to help keep you busy-

Numeracy

Try these number word problems

Literacy

A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but has a different meaning and may differ in spelling.

2. ‘Please welcome our most esteemed guest/guessed,’ announced Mrs Harker as the famous sportsman entered the assembly hall.
3. I wish I could eat my favourite serial/cereal every morning but mum says it is too sweet.
4. After learning about rattlesnakes and scorpions, I am in no hurry to visit a desert/dessert.
5. As the heard/herd of wilderbeast grazed, a solitary lioness crept up on the weakest member.
