If you didn’t get enough sports challenges last week, today is the Active Schools Virtual Sports Day. I have created a separate blog with all the information you need or you can visit @NLActiveSchools on Twitter.

At the moment when we return to school our learning will look a bit different. Try this BBC Bitesize lesson on using the web (internet) safely.
I have set up an end of year Sumdog assessment for each group. They have a mixture of questions on most of the concepts that we have covered this year. Just try your best. They will be open from Monday at 8 am until Wednesday at 1 pm, when the school year ends!
It’s the last full week of the school year and what a strange year it has been. While we haven’t seen you for nearly 3 months, be assured that we have been thinking of you and wondering how you are. For those who have posted photos and comments on Twitter and in our class team, it has been lovely to see you. We would like to set you some reflective tasks this week alongside the sports challenges. Normally at this time of year we would think back over the year and what our favourite memory would be as well as thinking about our biggest achievement. Maybe you loved our school trip or something special happened in your family. Perhaps you learned how to ride your bike or you moved onto trickier reading books.
My favourite memory was our class trip to Edinburgh Castle. It was a beautiful sunny Autumn day and the sky was blue. Everyone had such a great time and were a credit to themselves and the school, we were so proud of you. The views from the castle over Edinburgh were breath taking and appreciated by all.
My biggest achievement is having the motivation to go to the gym and classes 2 or 3 times a week. I’ve never been a big fan of exercise but now I actually like it, so much so I’ve been doing some online classes during lockdown!
So now it’s your turn. Below are some different sheets you could use to record your memories and achievements. If you can’t print the one you want to use then draw your own border or sections with headings, just copy the writing from the screen.

Welcome to the Ladywell Virtual Sports Week
We’re nearly at the end of term and as we have missed our annual sports day we thought it would be great to have a virtual one. We have set you 2 daily sports challenges, 1 race and 1 other activity.
Email me (gcarton@ladywell.n-lanark.sch.uk) with your results for any of the challenges you undertake. Times in seconds for your daily race over 10m and the number of times you did the daily challenge in a minute. House points will be awarded within each stage and count towards a daily winning house.
On Monday 22nd June Active Schools are holding a virtual sports day, details will be posted on here and Twitter once we have them.
What are you waiting for? Let’s get active! Open the document below to find out your challenges.
Can you believe it is nearly the Summer holidays? I now feel like the time is flying past. This week the teachers are back in school for the first time since we closed and I’m sure it will be strange. I’m only in one day but I’m already looking forward to a socially distanced catch up with the teachers that are in at the same time. We’re going to start getting ready for when we can reopen, starting with clearing out a lot of our own resources and bringing them home (not sure where I’m going to find space for them!). You’re tasks this week are a lot more interesting though. Below is a grid of STEM (Science Technology Engineering Maths) activities for you to choose from. You could try and enlist the help of someone at home or even be the teacher and teach it to a sibling. Most of all, have fun!
A new North Lanarkshire Sumdog contest starts tomorrow and runs until Thursday 11th June. Give your brains a workout and help us get on the leaderboard! We need 10 players in each class for that class to qualify.
Have a go at this rainbow challenge. Pentagons see how many colours you can do. Hexagons you could try any or all of the colours or get an adult to change the numbers and try adding/subtracting to 20 and numbers up to 100. I tried this with my little girl and found it easiest to read the PDF myself. You could try one colour each day for a quick mental workout.

As part of our Wear Yellow Week to raise money for St. Andrew’s Hospice here’s some Summery activities with a twist.
Can you design a flower using only yellow? You could use any materials you can find, paint, torn paper, natural materials, wool, pen, etc. Here are just some of the tones and shades of yellow.

Or try weaving a sunburst. Can you make one using only yellows? Don’t worry if you can’t, have a go with whatever strings, ribbons and wool that you can find.

Remember to share photos of anything you do. If you share on Twitter we’ll be able to show St. Andrew’s Hospice too.
A good concept to do outside while it’s nice, especially if you have a paddling pool out. Pick the worksheet you’d like to try, they are levelled using 1, 2 and 3 stars.
Use words like full, nearly full, half full, half empty, nearly empty and empty to describe how much liquid is in a container.
We can use smaller containers to fill larger one and say how many times the smaller one has to be filled to fill the larger one. Try estimating first.
Find an assortment of containers and order them from least to most depending on how much water they will hold. Can you find a way of checking?
