Old Monkland Primary School & Nursery Class

Good Morning Primary 4/5,

I hope you are all having a lovely week and enjoying your new home learning activities. I have loved speaking to some of you on Teams and I have been so impressed with everyones effort completing their tasks. Keep up the hard work, you are all superstars!

As you know, today is a ‘uniform’ day. If you would like to take part, you can comment below and post a picture, or you can post this in our class team. I would love to see you all back in your OMPS uniform again!

Tomorrow and Monday are both holidays, so please have fun and enjoy this time off :). I will set new Sumdog Challenges and post new spelling words on Tuesday 26th.  As its Mental Health Awareness week, I posted a planner on Tuesday for you to try out some different activities, I will attach this again below. You could even try these out over the long weekend. I have also posted this in our teams page. Please get in touch if you are having issues setting up teams and we can help you.

I am missing you all very much.

Enjoy your holiday weekend with your families. Make sure you have lots of fun and stay safe 🙂

Hello boys and girls

I hope you are all okay and enjoying some of the activities from our new Home Learning grids. It has been lovely to hear from some of you on Microsoft Teams this week! If you are still having problems please leave a wee comment or email Miss McFadden or Mr Henderson and someone will be able to help you! Please remember tomorrow Friday 22nd May and Monday 25th May are holidays and so we will be posting new learning on Tuesday 26th May. Enjoy your time off! 🙂

Uniform Day

Today Old Monkland Primary are taking part in a Uniform Day. I would love to see some of you in your uniform! You can leave a comment below or send a picture on our class Teams page. Look out for a wee message from me about Uniform Day on Teams!

Health and Wellbeing Grid

As some of you may know this week has been Mental Health Awareness week. Some of the teachers have been posting some ideas and activities for this. I thought I would make a Health and Wellbeing Grid with some activities on it that you could choose to do over the next few days with your families. I will be trying some of the activities too and I will let you know how I got on. If you would like to let me know how you got on you can leave a comment below or post on our class Teams page. Here is the activity grid:

Feelings cloud activity

Sumdog

I have been SO impressed with all of your efforts on Sumdog this week for the North Lanarkshire challenge. I cannot believe how many questions you have been attempting and I am very proud! Look out for a wee reward later or the next time you log in 🙂 I will announce the winner of the Spelling challenge on Tuesday.

Have a great long weekend everyone, stay safe and have fun!

Good Morning Primary 1/2,
I hope you are all well and have enjoyed completing activities from the new home learning grids posted on Monday. If we were at school this week, we would have been finishing today for a holiday weekend, with normal learning resuming on Tuesday. I have therefore attached a Health and Wellbeing grid with some fun activities for you to try over the next few days. I would love you to post photos of the activities you complete on our Class Team page!

Uniform Day
Old Monkland is taking part in Uniform day today, get involved and upload a photo. Mr Henderson is hoping to make a whole school collage/video.

Microsoft Teams
It has been so nice to chat with some of you on Teams this week. If you are having trouble logging on get in touch and we can help you!

Sumdog
Remember that there are weekly challenges set for you to complete on Sumdog each week. Try to do 20 minutes each day.

Enjoy your holiday weekend with your families boys and girls. I miss you lots and I am thinking of you all. Stay safe and take care.

Hi All

Just a wee reminder for those of you who want to join in – tomorrow is a UNIFORM DAY! Like some of the other primary schools  in Coatbridge, we are calling tomorrow a Uniform Day  and asking children to wear their uniform    ( or part of it!) and send photos to their Class Teams ! We hope to be able to make a wee video clip out of the photos and thought it would be a bit of fun and let the children feel a bit connected to each other and our school again!

If we were at school it would be a long weekend for everyone with school holidays scheduled for Friday and Monday. Therefore teachers will be asking you all to focus on Health and Well Being activities over the next few days and full home learning activities will resume on Tuesday .

Of course the teachers will still be checking in to look at comments and photos in their Teams , as they are really enjoying getting a chance to hear from you all. It honestly makes our day when we see the messages, read your emails  or get to speak to some of you on the phone .

As always , please  feel free to email me on-

ht@oldmonkland.n-lanark.sch.uk

I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Enjoy the rest of the sunshine today

Take Care for now

Hi Boys and Girls,

This week we are looking at Article 28 – the right to education. Right now children all around the world are off school or some are going back to school to a completely different looking classroom. All the teachers are so proud of how great you are all doing getting your school work done at home!

I have attached another PowerPoint that you and a member of your household can have a look at. There is a variety of activities that you may want to give a try.

Article of the Week – 18th May

It would be great to see some of your activities. You could even try to post these to your teachers on Microsoft Teams.

Stay safe,

Miss Jones
