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:-
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!

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.
World Book Day/ Book Report Link
We hope you will all get the chance to cozy up with a good book too, on this special World Book Day.

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.
You may also be able to attach any photos as a comment/message, in response to this post.

Happy world book day primary 6/7’s!!
Since the school is closed today just wanted to give you some activities to celebrate the day:
Remember you can still do some of the activities Miss Gallagher posted yesterday. Have a good world book day everyone!!
We are closed again today (Thursday 1st March) due to severe weather warnings.
Today is World Book Day. Why not spend time reading a good book and stay cosy? Tweet us a photo of your child reading or email Mrs Wilson/Miss Gallagher with a photo and your child will receive 10 Golden tokens when we are back at school 📚📚😬
Holy Family Primary will be closed today as decided by NLC. Here are a few suggested activities your child could carry out at home-
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.
Congratulations to all of the award winners for the month of February!
Literacy – Interdisciplinary and Outdoor Learning
February Star Writers
Big Garden Birdwatch – P 2 Had a great time when they ‘quietly’ ventured out into the Holy Family playground, garden and community park, to find and record the types of bird groups who like to visit, spend time there and use our school to feed. It was tricky trying to be especially quiet, but they did a wonderful job.
Later during a writing lesson they were able to revisit the experience, discuss it and write about it. 
Global Big Play Day /Opportunity / Personalisation and Choice
Primary 2 having a fantastic time as the enjoy the different choices they made during the Global Big Play….
…and here are some of our Star Writers after they wrote about their wonderful experiences.
Half Term Holiday As the children relaxed during the holidays they had lots to talk about and share with each other when they returned to school, so they decided they would like to write about it and share their experiences in their recount of …
…My Holiday
People Place and Environment Cold and Hot Climates
Our Shape Penguin Arctic Hare Masks
The Life Cycle of the Penguin and Our Antarctic Animal Masks
Health and Wellbeing/Cosmic Kids and the Penguin Dance!
The Antarctic The children are learning about hot and cold climates and are also enjoying learning about the animals, people who live there and their lifestyles. At the moment they have been finding out a lot about the Antarctic. This topic is child led and the children are enjoying leading their learning. To begin with, the children recorded some of the information that they know about the Antarctic, what they would like to know, and will build a record to finally show what they have learned.
Health and Wellbeing – A welcome Visit from the Dental Nurse
P2 were very happy to welcome their Dental Nurse when she visited the school. Bringing them new toothbrushes and toothpaste, she kindly re-visited all the important points the children should remember as they diligently cleaned their teeth. The children were able to tell her the best way they should do this and how often, but that importantly, teeth should always be cleaned night and morning to keep them healthy and strong. Cleaning them after every meal would be even better. Terrific good listening skills boys and girls. Keep cleaning those beautiful teeth!
Pyjama and Movie Afternoon As the children of Holy Family and P2 enjoy their Pyjama and Movie day, P2 and their Star Writers for this week, celebrate their successful Report Writing, about the Life Cycle of the Penguin too. Great Work P2.
Fun Friday Lenten Fundraiser Events
The Beginning of our Fun Friday Lenten Fundraiser Events, kicked off with Pyjama and Movie Afternoon. The children had a terrific time and enjoyed relaxing after all their hard work. What makes it even better, is they get to raise money for their Lenten Charities at the same time.
Thank you sincerely, to all parents, family and friends who are helping to support the children and school as they endeavor to do this.
Wow, what a day! Primary 1/2 really enjoyed our Pyjama day and our cosy movie afternoon. It was a great way to end a wonderful month.
This month we have really been enjoying PE, where we have been doing gymnastics and learning fundamental skills with Mr Mitchell. We are also still enjoying our topic of journeys and in Religion we are learning lots about Lent.
But our favourite day of all was Global Play day! We had so much fun playing inside and out.
Primary 3 are learning all about the Vikings.
