Good Morning boys and girls, welcome to another week of homeschool and a brand new month! I can’t believe its June already!

Sumdog
Well done to those of you working hard on Sumdog, I have set some new challenges and assessments which you can access later today. I am looking forward to sending golden coins to some of you this week again!

Oxford Owl
I hope you are enjoying the stories and activities on Oxford Owl, I think they are fantastic! Let me know what you think. This week I would like you to read another two stories and complete the play activities for each book.

Home learning Grids
Choose activities from your home learning grids to complete over the week. In the Files section of Teams you will also find lots of ideas for outdoor learning and exercise.

Microsoft Teams
It is lovely chatting with some of you on Teams, thank you for your photographs and messages! I would love you to upload some of the work you are doing too! Anyone unable to access Teams yet, please get in touch and we will support you with this.

Have fun in the sun today everyone, you might like to try some shadow art activities with your favourite toys.

Hi Everyone ,

It has been a very busy week with news that staff will gradually be able to go back into our School and Nursery in June to start to prepare the building as required to meet Health and Safety and Social Distancing guidelines.

We will be in touch with you all as soon as we have clear and accurate plans for some transition visits/activities for new P.1 and P7  later in June and obviously with regard to groupings / staffing for August .

We also intend to get both Nursery and School Progress Reports to you as soon as possible.

Thank you all again for the efforts in supporting home learning . It has been really nice to see and hear from lots more of you through Class Teams.

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather and are having a lovely time being able to see some friends and family members , even if only outdoors, two metres apart  and in small numbers for now.

Have a lovely weekend everyone , keep safe

Hello Primary 3/4

I hope you have had a great week and have enjoyed trying some of the activities on your Home Learning Grids. It has been great to hear from some of you on Microsoft Teams and I have really enjoyed sharing learning with you! A big thank you to you and whoever is helping you at home for your effort this week on Teams 🙂 Remember if you have not managed to get onto Microsoft Teams yet you can leave a comment below or email Miss McFadden or Mr Henderson and someone will be able to help you get all set up 🙂

Sumdog

Well done to those of you who took the time to complete the Addition and Subtraction assessment on Sumdog this week. I was super impressed with your scores! As this was an assessment and not a challenge or competition there are no winners this but I am very proud of each and every one of you. Also a big well done to those of you who completed our Spelling Challenge. The top 3 in the challenge this week were Aaron, Enya and Robyn – well done 🙂 Look out for a little reward from me later on today!

Things to look forward to jar

Last week I posted a Health and Wellbeing activity grid as part of Mental Health Week. I have been trying out some of the activities myself. One thing I have been working on is making a ‘Things to look forward to’ jar to keep happy and positive during this time. I found an empty jar and have been writing little notes of things I am looking forward to doing when I get the chance. I cannot wait to use it! I have not decorated the jar yet but I thought maybe you could give me some ideas? I wonder if any of you have made something similar? If you have I would love to hear about it or hear about any of the other activities you have tried 🙂 You can see my jar and an example of what I wrote inside it below:

I hope you have a nice day and a super weekend. Enjoy some of the lovely sunshine!

Happy Friday everyone, this week has gone so fast! I hope you have enjoyed completing some home learning activities, as well as enjoying the beautiful weather.
Sumdog challenges are available until 1 o’clock for you to do. I have sent some of you coins as a reward. Next week I am going to post some Assessments, I hope you will all join in!
It looks like it is going to be really hot over the weekend, have fun in the sun with your families but remember to put on sun cream, wear a sun hat and drink lots of water!

As always I would love you to message me and post pictures of what you are getting up to! Enjoy your weekend. I miss you all!

Thank you to all of our families who participated in our ‘Uniform Day’. It was lovely to see so many of our children looking so smart in their Old Monkland uniforms.

Happy Friday!

It’s the end of another week, I feel like that was a really quick one!

If you would like to take part in the Sum Dog challenges for this week you have until 12 noon today. I’ll post winners on Monday :). Great answers so far, very well done.

I hope you are able to enjoy the sunshine today and over the weekend, it looks like it will be a fantastically sunny time! Remember to use sun cream, drink lots and lots to stay hydrated and take some time in the shade too. I can’t wait to hear what you get up to next week on Teams.

Enjoy yourselves (families too!!), missing you all
