Old Monkland Primary School & Nursery Class

Hello boys and girls,

Are we enjoying learning a little bit more about our rights? If you have done any tasks remember to post them on Microsoft Teams to let your teachers see. We love seeing all the different tasks you are doing at home and are so proud with how well you are all doing. Keep up the great work!

This weeks focus is Article 15 – Freedom of Association. This means you have the right to meet other children and join different groups, clubs or organisations. I know lots of you go to a variety of different clubs such as football, dancing, gymnastics or karate. You could send a picture to your teacher of you doing an activity from one of your clubs! That would be super to see!

Article of the Week – Article 15

Stay safe and well,

Morning P2/3!

I hope you all had a nice, relaxing weekend at home. I would love to hear what you got up to. Did you try out any of the Health and Well-being activities? I had a go at lots of Maximo’s yoga on Go Noodle. It was lots of fun. I also went for lots of walks around Ravenscraig.

Microsoft Teams

Teams are back up and running today and I will be available again to see your lovely work and catch up with you all. The teachers all have a meeting with Miss McFadden on our Staff Team this Wednesday 10-11.30 am, so I won’t be available during those times, but I will after. Thank you to everyone who took part in our Uniform Day. It was so nice to see so many pupils in our class in their uniforms again. I loved seeing your siblings joining in too! A lot of our class have now logged in and are using Teams but we are still waiting for a few of our classmates to join in too. Please try to log in if you have not already and let us know if you require any assistance getting this up and running. We’re happy to help!

Oxford Owl

I had posted about Oxford Owl on our Team last week, an online reading resource. I have created a class account for us to use. Instructions for how to log in are available in our Teams ‘Files’ and are attached to this post. For now, I’d like you to try logging in and exploring some books. I’ll be using this resources in future Home Learning Grids.

Try Something New

Here’s a fun idea I thought you might like to try. Even though you are at home just now, why not make a cool pack lunch for yourself? I thought this one was really cute, it’s Jack Jack from “The Incredibles”!

Sumdog 

Well done to all the boys and girls who took part in the North Lanarkshire Sumdog challenge last week. I was so proud of all of your efforts. A big well done for taking part in the Spelling challenge too. The top 3 children for the Spelling challenge were Robyn, Enya and Alexa. Fantastic work girls 🙂 There is a new Spelling challenge for you which starts today! This week I have set a mini assessment on Sumdog all about Addition and Subtraction. There are 20 questions so please take your time when you are answering them all. Good luck everyone!

Good Morning everyone, I hope you are all well and enjoyed the long holiday weekend with your family. I would love to hear what you got up to!

Sumdog
I have created new challenges on Sumdog for you, they will be available until Friday. Please try and do a little everyday. Some of you are getting really good scores!

Oxford Owl
This week I would like you to read ‘The Haircut’ and ‘Big Bad Bug’. Listen to both stories first and then have a go at reading them yourself. Look at picture clues and try blending sounds together to help you read unfamiliar words. Both books have two play activities to be completed at the end of each story.
(Our class login details for Oxford Owl are in our class file in Microsoft Teams)

I would love to see more of you join our class team this week. If we can help you get logged in please get in touch.

Choose some activities from the home learning grids posted last week. Remember you can repeat activities if you want too. Finally it looks like its going to be a lovely day, so I hope you will be able to play outdoors. Get in touch and tell me what you are doing. As always, I am thinking of you of you all.
Take care boys and girls.

Here is a lovely message for all of our boys and girls from the Nursery Team.

Good morning P2/3!

It’s the last school day today for the week as Friday and Monday are holidays. As it is Mental Health Awareness Week I’ve gathered some Health and Well-being activities you might like to do over the long weekend to help you relax and chill out. If you try any of them, I would love to hear if you enjoyed them on Tuesday. I will upload these to  our Team too.

Uniform Day

Today is uniform day. Remember if you would like to take part, please post a picture of you in your uniform to our Teams page. It would be lovely to see you back in your OMPS uniforms again!

Sum Dog

Well done to the pupils taking part in our Sum Dog challenges. I could not believe it when I logged into Sum Dog on Tuesday to see some people had answered over 400 questions in one day! We also have 11 people in our class taking part in the North Lanarkshire Contest which means we will now appear on the leader board. Our Spelling and Grammar challenges will end on Friday at 12 noon and I will be announcing the winners on Tuesday.

Microsoft Teams

Lots of us are now using Teams to keep in touch. It has been great to hear from so many of you and even see some of the work you have been doing from home. I have been very impressed and I am missing you all very much. It really does make us teachers smile lots when we see our pupils having a good time!

Enjoy the long weekend, I’m hoping it’s a sunny one!

Take care,

Miss Bennett xx
