*** School Trip to Summerlee 5/3/18 ***

Important information for parents of P6/7

We have organised a trip to Summerlee museum for our P6/7 pupils so that they can take part in a workshop related to their WWII topic.  As you are aware the school was closed for three days due to the weather and as a result we were unable to hand out permission slips.

All of the children in P6/7c, along with all P6 children from P6/7a and four P7 children from P6/7a are due to take part in the workshop tomorrow (5/3/18).

All of the children from P6/7b along with the other half of P6/7a are due to take part in the workshop on Friday (9/3/18).  We are taking P6/7 to Summerlee on two separate dates as the workshop can accommodate a maximum of 33 children at a time.

As we haven’t  had the chance to hand out permission slips before tomorrow, Mrs Dillon will send a text to parents first thing tomorow morning and we will use the general permission slips filled in at the start of the year. If you child is going on the trip tomorow it would be helpful if they could bring a packed lunch.  The children are due to leave after interval and will return before 3 pm.  If you do not wish you child to take part in the visit to Summerlee tomorow please contact the school tomorow morning.

Thanks,

Miss Gallagher

Keep On Reading!

Glad that you have enjoyed world book day and cant wait to hear all about that terrific book!

Feed the Birds!

Two very thoughtful girls out this morning making sure our wee birdy friends have something to eat.

So delighted that you have not forgotten  the birds in this terribly cold weather girls, very well done, great work…

 

…Mrs Byrne nearly did forget, but fortunately Mr Byrne Remembered.  We thought you might like to look at our pictures too.

The first one is birds flying down in the snow on Wednesday towards  the path in our back garden, to get their food…

The next one is birdie lunch. Yum!

Good morning boys and girls !

What a strange week it has been and what a pity we have not been together to celebrate World Book Day 2018, First Friday Mass, our Fairtrade Coffee Morning and House Quiz.

It has been fantastic to see how you have been following the ideas posted on the website and twitter to keep progressing your learning although your teachers are not with you to teach you directly and I am very proud of your imagination and creativity.

The teachers and I have all been working really hard too as we still have access to our emails and glow. I have now transferred all of my desktop work onto glow one drive and hope that Miss Gallagher will be impressed by my ICT skills !

I have followed the advice on twitter and remembered to feed the wildlife in my garden too although I don’t think they liked the over ripe pears I gave them very much !

!

I am going to work on my fairtrade assembly for Monday today and start looking at our classes for next year as well as reviewing our school improvement plan. While I am doing that I am hoping that my daughter can  practise her soup making skills !

This is what my street looked like last night after the gritters had been round so I am really glad NLC made the decision for us all to stay safe indoors and keep the roads clear for our emergency workers

.

Enjoy your last snow day everyone and I look forward to giving out lots of golden tokens on Monday for all the hard work you have done at home.Plesae look at the Fairtrade website if you can and make a poster using the Fairtrade logo to help spread the message.

Here’s hoping the school doesn’t look like this by Monday morning !

School remains closed today (Friday 2nd March).  We hope you are all having fun in the snow.  If you have had enough of the outdoors for now , here are a few Maths activities you could try. Do not worry if a sheet is too tricky or not challenging enough.  Choose one you feel is most suitable.  Remember you all have access to SumDog too .

IGLOO CHALLENGE

Wow!!  Great Project Managing skills there, definitely.  You and Dad have done a fantastic job.  Well done. Love it!  BUT ARE YOU UP FOR …

…AN IGLOO INVESTIGATION

I wonder if Dad Mum or one of your family could help you to find out:-

  1. How many bricks did it take to build your igloo?

2.  How long did it take to build?

3.   Can you measure the  temperature on the inside?

4.  Can you measure the temperature on the outside?

5.  Will it be colder /warmer/ just the same inside?

If you can write down what you have found out , then when we all get back to school we can try to find out  what the answers are and you can be our Scientific Adviser as we conduct our investigation.

Don’t worry if You, Dad, Mum and Family  are too busy, but if not that would be great!

See you next Week!

‘Snow Days

Love seeing you having fun practicing your common words in the snow Emily.  Well done.

 

Mrs Stevenson and I are hoping you are all enjoying your lovely, ‘restful’, unexpected snow days.

We are delighted  that many of you are enjoying using ‘Sumdog’ and ‘Studyladder’, while you are off, as well as  some of the great ideas for learning on the Holy Family Twitter Page suggested by Miss Gallagher and Miss McGuire.      Great Work Boys and Girls.

We’d love to see your pictures!

Remember we love to see pictures of how you are choosing to learn  outdoors (and indoors) and have fun at the same time.  So keep sending them in  to our Holy Family Twitter Page.

For those who don’t have access to twitter, I’ll copy any that come in  and put them on our class Webpage for everyone to see.

Holy Family Primary will be closed today as decided by NLC.  Here are a few suggested activities your child could carry out at home-

  • Write the letters of the alphabet/your weekly spelling words in the snow.
  • Write a story/poem about a snowy day.
  • Curl up with a good book and enjoy in preparation for World Book Day.
  • Log in to your SumDog account for access to Maths games.
  • Measure the depth of the snow in different areas outside your house.
  • Practise your time tables against the clock.

    • Find out what the temperature is today. Is it a negative number ? Will the number go up or down if the temperature drops further ?

Our upper school children all have access to GLOW.  P5-7 you could create a PowerPoint/Sway on a topic that interests you or you could relate it to your class topic.  You could also create a Word document and write about a job you would like to do when you are older as a follow up activity to our 2 day DYWF programme.

Feel free to share pictures of any of this work to our school Twitter. P5-7 can also email or share their work with Miss Gallagher using their GLOW account.
