Have a great day.

I hope you’ve all had a great day. I’ve loved speaking to some of you on the phone and loved reading your comments on the blog.

Today, I’ve been very busy with work then I made a big pot of homemade vegetable soup. After that, I made chocolate orange brownies. As the brownies were cooling off, I went for a long walk in the rain because I love walking in the rain for some reason 😂🌧️ I think I love it because it reminds me of being young and happy playing in the rain 😊❤️. Does anyone else like being in the rain? 

Here’s the recipe I followed for the brownies. I added in chocolate orange to the melting part though and at the end for decoration. They are so tasty. 😋😋

Good morning guys, I hope you’re all feeling well. 😊😊

Thanks to everyone who has sent me work.  You can send me pictures of what you’ve been up to too. Today I’m going to bake brownies so I will show you some pictures of that later.🍫🍫

Here are some tasks to keep you busy on this dreich day. Can anyone remember what ‘dreich’ means from our Scots language lessons? ☁️🌧

Maths – have a go at these equivalent fractions activities.  Remember, to find equivalent fractions, use your times tables knowledge to help you.

Science – go onto the St Albert’s YouTube channel and check out the fun experiments Miss Cohen has been doing. I laughed out loud while I was watching. If you’ve seen Mrs Doubtfire, you will understand.

Leave a comment on this blog and let me know what your favourite experiment was and why it was your favourite. Also, let me know if you tried any of the experiments or if you are planning to carry out any of them at home.

Here’s the link – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBjqn03lZYc-6pCjJPIRqwg/videos 

Modern Studies – Our topic this term has a modern studies focus. On the YouTube channel, Miss Cohen has explained what Modern Studies is so follow the same link as I have posted above and go check it out.  Have a go at your first topic task.  You can email me and let me know how you got on. Feel free to do some of your own research for this topic before the next lessons, this will help you have a better idea about it. 

PE – Even though it’s quite dull and rainy today, you should still try and go outside for a while. Fresh air always makes me feel better.
Try this PE in your house or in your garden.  I’ve chosen an activity I think you’ll enjoy. You get to be a wee bit silly doing it and that’s always fun isn’t it? 🤪🥳

After you’ve done this activity and you’re feeling really warm, why not give this a go! I know a lot of you love dancing to TikToks (I do too, sshhhh) so you could do this for the task below. Happy dancing 💃🏻🕺🏽


Remember, you don’t need to do all the tasks.  You only do what you want to do but try and challenge yourself. Keep your brain and your body active while in lockdown.

I’m looking forward to seeing all your replies and pictures of your tasks.
Stay safe,

Miss McCue xx

The focus this week is mental health and so this is what our guided reading is about.  I have recorded myself reading the text and asking the questions if you would prefer to listen to it and do the task this way. To watch this, follow the link for the YouTube video.  Copy and paste the link onto your safari.

If you want to do the task by reading the text and the questions, I have posted them here too.  Read the text and give the questions a go if you want to.  You can zoom in on the text and it won’t go blurry so you’ll be able to read it all. You should be able to do this on your own so give it a go independently. You can ask someone in your house for help if you need it.

If you want to, you can email me your answers and I can post your work on the blog. Mr Stewart is going to be choosing a star pupil every week for work they have produced or something they have done so email me your work and your pictures and I’m sure we will be very impressed. 🤩🤩

The school’s focus this week is mental health.  The blog posts and the guided reading will be tasks related to this focus.  Please email me – gw17mccuecatherine@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk – if you want to chat or let me know how you’re doing.  💜💜

Every person needs to look after their mental health.  That means you, your mum and dad, me and everyone else on this planet because we all have feelings and these feelings play a part in how we feel mentally.

We talk a lot about mental health in class and we focus on staying positive and looking for the good in situations. However, it is easy to become sad or worried about things, especially at times like just now because we don’t know what’s going to happen in the next weeks and months and everything is a bit uncertain. This is natural so don’t feel like it’s a bad thing to be feeling sad sometimes. The important thing is you talk to someone about your feelings. You could talk to a family member, a friend who you trust, you could email me or any other adult in our school.

If you want to, complete the two activities below. You can email me your answers by writing 1) Some days. I will know what the question is so you don’t need to write the question out.  I will reply and we can chat about things.  I’m going to do the activities too because I feel worried about things too sometimes.

You might do these activities and then think ‘Oh no, I’m feeling really negative’. Don’t worry about that, it is good to find out what you’re worried about so we can work on how to make you feel better about it. Remember what I always tell you, you aren’t competing against anyone else, you’re competing to be the best version of yourself every day. 💜💜 I am impressed by each and every one of you every day for different reasons so please remember how amazing you are and feel proud of this.

Love and miss you all lots,

Miss McCue xx

Happy Wednesday P6/7 🤩💜

I hope you enjoyed the video from Miss Cohen.  She can’t wait to see all your replies.

I’m going to set some science, maths and wellbeing tasks for you.  Remember, you don’t need to do all the tasks or any of the tasks but it is a good idea to keep your mind active during this situation so make sure you’re doing something that requires some thought. Feel free to email me any questions, pictures or for a chat – gw17mccuecatherine@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk

Today is known as Earth Day.  Try out this Earth day challenge with your family and let me know how you get on. Maybe you could do the challenge when you are out for your daily exercise? You don’t need electricity when you’re walking in the sunshine ☀️ 🥳

Here is a link to a cool post from NASA –

Here is another link to a live stream from NASA so you can see what they are up to right now.  How cool is that? –

Here are a couple of maths sheets on simplifying fractions. Remember, to simplify a fraction, you find a common multiple. That means, find a number that divides into the top number (numerator) and the bottom number (denominator). Have a go and you can email me and let me know how you get on or else leave a comment on this blog post  

If you had a go at that one and want more challenge, try this activity.

You know that your well-being is the most important thing to me, especially at this strange time.  💜💜  I love challenges like these And I’m going to take part in this one too.  Have a go at these for the rest of this week and I guarantee you that doing this will make you and your family feel happier. Remember what we always say, just smiling at someone can make them and you feel so much better. Be kind, always.

Have a great day everyone.  Love and miss you all lots 💜💜
