Good morning everyone, I hope you are having a nice week so far. Well done to those of you working hard on Sumdog, and completing your home learning tasks. I know its not easy but try to do a few things each day.

As its Thursday again, I thought I would remind you that Julia Donaldson will be reading another story live on the Gruffalo Facebook page at 4 p.m. Today she is reading Detective Dog. We haven’t read this story in class, so I hope you enjoy it.

Remember there are fun activities on BBC bitesize everyday for you to do to. I have attached a few rainbow experiments you can try out too. I hope to see more of you log into Teams today. If you are having trouble logging in please get in touch.

Take care and have a good day

Miss Sharkey

Good Morning Primary 4/5 🙂 

I hope everyone is having a great week.

Well done to the boys and girls who have managed to set up teams so far. It has been lovely to speak to some of you over the last few days. If you scroll down, Mr Henderson has reposted some instructions on how to set this up. If you manage to do this, please leave a little message for me.

BBC Bitesize are hosting a variety of live lessons over the next few days. I have attached a schedule of the lessons taking place for today and tomorrow. 

You can access the webiste via this link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/dailylessons 

Let me know if you manage to join in and if you enjoy them.

Missing you all,

Miss Davidson  🙂 x

Hello Primary 3/4

As you know on Monday 18th May we are moving over to Microsoft Teams to continue to help you with your learning. Well done to those of you who have managed to set this up already and for those of you who haven’t managed it yet Mr Henderson has posted lots of useful information on it further down the blog! You need your Glow username and password to login to Glow then you have to add the Microsoft Teams tile to your Launch Pad. You can also download the Microsoft Teams app on an ipad/tablet/phone and again use your Glow username and password to login.

For those of you who are unsure how to do this or need your Glow username and password please leave a comment below or email  Mr Henderson and someone will be able to help!

The Microsoft Teams tile looks like this:

I have left a Welcome message on the Primary 3/4 Teams page so if you do manage to get on to Teams it would be great if you could leave a wee message to let me know you managed to get set up. Well done to those of you who have done it already!

Have a nice day, looking forward to hearing from you!

Miss Marchant 🙂

Good morning Primary 1/2, I hope you are all well, it was nice to chat to some of you on Microsoft Teams yesterday and I hope to see more of you there over the next few days.
If you can, choose some activities from your home learning grids, or try the lessons on BBC bitesize. Today there is a fun science lesson all about animals. I have also set new challenges for you to try on Sumdog.
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning P2/3

Teams
Well done to the pupils who have managed to log into our Team so far. We’ve been able to catch up with each other and share some pictures which has been really nice to see. If you have been unable to access Teams so far, please let us know. We’ll be using Teams from Monday 18th but you can get logged in and familiarised with it before this date. Once you have first logged in, if you could post a wee ‘hello’ that would be fantastic!

Sum Dog
Your new Sum Dog challenges are now all available, remember to have a go at these to support what we have previously learned in class.
Well done to Holly who won our first Grammar challenge last week with 131 correct answers.

I thought I would share this picture with you. My friend likes to build things and made himself a picnic bench… for squirrels! He’s even had a few visitors. He was kind enough to make me one so I’m on the look out for wildlife in my garden now too. Have you managed to spot any wildlife while you’ve been at home? I’d love to hear about it!
