Reading! Reading!Reading!!

Good afternoon,

I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

I am missing your happy  faces so very much!

So many of you are working hard to complete Sumdog,  Studyladder and Scholastic Reading Pro.

Well Done, the team at Chapelgreen are all very impressed!

Your teachers are working hard to provide lots of fun and interesting activities for you to do at home.

Keep checking the blog for updates.

Reading has been one of my favourite things to do whilst being at home. It helps me to relax and enter other worlds, whilst getting to know new characters.

I know many of you are Roald Dahl, J.K Rowling  and David Williams fans and your parents have informed me that you have been reading your favourite books at home.

You can write a review of your favourite book or complete a visualisation of your favourite character and send it to : rmeimaroglou@chapelgreen.n-lanark.sch.uk

I would love to see them!

We have also provided you with a wonderful online reading scheme to use at home. Scholastic Reading Pro.

I see many of you have accessed it and have completed the quizzes. Great Job.

This week I would like everyone to login and have a short reading session. There are so many fabulous books for you to work through.  I will have a look to see how you are all getting on.

You each have books assigned to you. Enjoy and happy reading!!

Love,

Mrs Savva

Week Beginning 18/05/20

Hello Room 4,

I hope that you and your families are doing well.  I think of you all everyday and wonder how you are doing.  Last week I asked you to write me a letter and share some of your news with me.  I want to say a big thank you to Riley who wrote me a wonderful letter filling me in on all his news.  It made me so happy to hear from him and I cannot wait to write back to him this week.  I’d be delighted to hear from more of you this week.

A huge well done to Lea for her work on Sumdog last week!  She had the most correct answers overall and she spent the most time on Sumdog.  She has been rewarded with 200 coins.  I wonder who will get the 200 coins reward this week?

Our class is part of the NLC Sumdog competition which started last Friday.  We always do really well on at the NLC competitions because we work as a team and we can still do this even though you are at home.  All you have to do is spend at least 20 minutes playing games on Sumdog each day.  There are a lot of sums to answer but remember it’s not about the how many sums you answer it’s about the accuracy of what you answer, so take your time. Come on Room 4 let’s see how well we can do!  I will be on Sumdog every day this week at 1 o’clock if anyone wants to play me.

Here are your tasks for this week.

Spelling Week Beginning 18.5.20

Literacy Week Beginning 18.5.20

Numeracy Week Beginning 18.5.20

Stay well and stay safe.

Love from,

Miss Richardson

Fairtrade Family Challenge – Competition Time!!

Competition Time!!!!

Watch the video linked here ‘Guardians of the Rainforest’: https://schools.fairtrade.org.uk/resource/guardians-of-the-rainforest/

It follows the life of a boy named Beshey who lives and farms in the Gola Rainforest . If you are in P1-3 you could ask an adult to sit with you and help you take notes.  If you are P4-7 try to take notes on your own whilst watching the video.

What do you see in the Gola Rainforest?

How does Beshey live and farm?

Where does he live?

Your task this week is to create a picture of the rainforest/visualizer from what you have learned from Beshey living in Gola. Try to put in as much detail as you can. You can label your drawing.

We will be looking for the most creative and detailed drawings and visualizers.

This is a competition so do your best!!

Ask an adult to upload your pictures to the blog as a reply to this post. We will judge as a staff and a winner from each stage will be given a certificate and house points.

Have fun!! Remember to use the video to help create your picture/ visualizer.

CLOSNG DATE FOR ENTRIES – Monday 4th May 2020

Please send entries to : rmeimaroglou@chapelgreen.n-lanark.sch.uk

Chapelgreen and Banton Partnership Family Challenges

 

Chapelgreen and Banton Partnership Schools

Family Learning Challenges

 

We know how hard it can be when you have more than one child working on different things during the course of the week. To try to address this and to perhaps help ease some of the difficulties, we have developed some family learning challenges.

These challenges reflect the work we have started in school and work that had been planned as part of our pupil committees, assemblies and curricular developments this term.

We will issue these challenges once a week and we would love to encourage you and your child/ren to participate together. This work can be completed in place of a piece of topic work and the class teachers will adjust their weekly planning to reflect this.

As we have a wide range of ages within our school, we will provide a choice of two tasks within the challenge for most weeks. You can, however, choose the task which you feel is most appropriate for you and your family. (Or just the one you like the sound of most!)

Certificates and points to be won for the weekly challenge winners

This week’s challenge follows our Fairtrade theme and will be posted on the school blog shortly.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact.

rmeimaroglou@ chaplegreen.n-lanark.sch.uk

Hope you are continuing to stay safe and well.

Fairtrade Family Learning Fun

Good morning,

I hope you are all  safe and well.  Before the holidays we were learning about Fairtrade in assembly and in class. We even made Fairtrade banana bread and cookies.  They were delicious!

As we cannot continue this learning  in school for the moment we would like the pupils to engage in some family learning at home.

Family Learning Challenge

This challenge can be completed as a family if you have more than one child at the school.  Choose whichever activity you find most suitable for your family situation and the resources and time you have on hand.

1- Watch the video clip using the link below…

https://schools.fairtrade.org.uk/resource/fairtrade-story-a-fair-tale/

2 – Look at the home learning activity grids attached to this post and choose an activity to complete.  Please note that there are two grids, one for younger children and one for older children.  You can choose one activity from either grid depending on what suits you best as a family.

3 – Once you have completed your challenge, depending on what you have done, you can email it to:

rmeimaroglou@chaplegreen.n-lanark.sch.uk

Or feel free to  post a picture in a reply to this blog post.  Whatever is easier for you.

Letter to Room 4

Hello Room 4,

Here are lots of activities, across different subjects, to keep your brains busy and active. It might be a helpful for you to make up your very own timetable using these activities. Try to choose a different subject for each part of the day.  blank-editable-timetable

These activities are only suggestions- if you think of something you’d like to do or learn about then go for it. Remember though, you have worked very hard this year to develop and learn lots of skills in many areas- it is a really good idea to keep practising so that you will remember them when we are all back together at school. There is a saying – ‘If you don’t use it, you lose it!’ 

Each week I will set you differentiated numeracy and literacy tasks through your Studyladder, Sum Dog and Spelling City accounts.  The focus for maths, spelling, writing and topic work will change periodically.

You can post work to me on twitter and glow or email me.  I would love to see how you are doing and I look forward to reading and commenting on your posts.

Love from,

Miss Richardson
