Old Monkland Primary School & Nursery Class

Hello boys and girls,

Did you all enjoy celebrating World Environment Day? I hope you enjoyed participating in some of the activities your teacher and I posted. Remember Microsoft Teams is a great way to show your teacher what activities you have been doing.

This weeks focus is Article 42 – knowledge of rights. This means that Governments all around the world must actively work to make sure children and adults know about the Convention of Rights. I have attached this weeks PowerPoint below:

Article of the Week – Article 42

Today is also ‘World Oceans Day’. World Oceans Day, on June 8, is all about protecting the ocean. A healthy planet needs a healthy ocean, but our waters face huge risks from overfishing, climate change, and plastic pollution. This links to Article 29 – encouraging respect for the environment.

I found a great eBook for Primary 1-3 called Starry-Eyed Stan.

Starry-eyed Stan Story

For Primary 4-7 I found a different tutorials on YouTube about how to draw different sea creatures.

I hope you enjoy this weeks focus!

Good morning boys and girls,

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.

I cannot believe we only have a few weeks left of school before we all finish up for Summer! As this will be our last learning grid, I have added some summer themed activities that I hope you will like 😊. I have attached all documents in this post, but you can also find these in our class team in the ‘class materials’ folder. You can continue to carry out activities from previous learning grids which you enjoyed, or may not have got round to yet.

Home learning

I will continue to post weekly spelling words, Sumdog challenges and you can still access Epic to read books which have been assigned. If you need any help with any activities, please get in contact with me by leaving a comment here or on teams. I have really loved seeing everyone’s hard work everyday!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. I’m looking forward to hearing about your adventures on Teams.

I have created your last At Home Learning Grid for you to use. Can you believe it is only 3 weeks until the summer holidays? The grid and associated worksheets will also be posted on Teams for you at access from there. Remember if there is previous activities you have enjoyed you could also do those again. Some of you have even created your own activities which I’ve been super impressed with!

Good morning Primary 3/4 and happy Monday!

I cannot believe we only have a few short weeks left of school! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I know the weather wasn’t as good as last week but I still managed to get out my walks and I finished my 4th book since the schools closed! What did you all get up to? I would love to hear!

Home Learning Grids

Your new Home Learning grid and activities can be found below. This is the last one before the Summer break can you believe it?? This Home Learning grid has a ‘Summer’ theme to it so lots of the activities are about Summer things. As normal you will still receive weekly spelling words, Sumdog challenges and Oxford Owl books. Remember the instructions to get on to Oxford Owl and the reading activities to follow the books can be found on our class Teams page. You can still complete activities from the previous Home Learning Grids if you would like to aswell.

Sumdog

Well done to everyone who took part in the assessment and challenge on Sumdog last week! I was at the St Ambrose Hub on Friday helping out so I did not have the chance to post the winners of these! As you know you had a Times Table and Division Assessment last week so there would be no winners for that but again you all did very well and I can tell you are still practising your times tables! The top 3 children for the Spelling Challenge last week were: Logan R, Robyn and Enya. Well done to you three 🙂

This week you have another assessment on Time. There are 20 questions so please take your time with each of these. You also have another Spelling Challenge too. Good Luck everyone 🙂

Oxford Owl 

I have some new suggestions of books to read on Oxford Owl this week. Please remember to look for your group! If you find another book you would like to read on Oxford Owl that is completely fine too 🙂 The instructions for getting on to Oxford Owl and the reading activities can be found on our class Teams page!

Blue Group – Double Cross

Red Group – Swamp Crash

Orange Group – Tiger x4

Green Group – Cat’s Painting

Have a nice day, missing you all very much

Happy Friday everyone!
We have made it to the end of another week and you have continued to impress me with your dedication to your learning that I am seeing through Teams and Sum Dog. You should be very proud of yourself.

Good Morning boys and girls!

I cannot quite believe that we are at the end of another week of home learning. You are putting in such a great effort and making us all so proud. Give your brains a little rest and enjoy the weekend! The Sumdog house will be open for you.

Today is World Environment Day. I hope you enjoyed trying some of the recycling activities. It has been great to see your models on Microsoft Teams!

From today to Thursday the 11th of June, there is another NLC Sumdog Contest! We are great at Sumdog so lets work together to qualify on the leader board again! You simply just need to play Sumdog’s Maths games. As a reward for taking part, you will receive an item for your  Sumdog House when you answer 100 questions. It is recommended that we all work as a team and that you all should try to play for at least 20-30 minutes each day. You can also play on Saturdays and Sundays!

Good luck and have a great weekend,

Miss Jones x
