Wednesday 22nd April 2020 Primary5

Good morning everyone, Happy Wednesday! ( I can’t believe that we are half way through our week already!)

I hope hope that you are managing to get into a routine and trying hard to complete some home learning tasks. Please begin your day with a prayer. You might like to try The Five Finger Prayer guide.

The winner of yesterday’s Sumdog competition was LD. Well done! Your accuracy was amazing! Another competition is available for today, why not have a go!

RAINFOREST RESEARCH

I know that you are all experts on our rainforests. Our rainforests are not just home to animals and plants; they are also home to groups of people. There are many tribes of people who call the rainforest home but the most well-known are the Yanomami tribe, the pygmy tribe and the Huli tribe. Choose one tribe to research. Find out as much information as you can about them and create a poster of facts.

STEM IDEAS

Here are some simple home STEM ideas. Perhaps you would like to give one of them a go. I particularly like ‘As if By Magic’. Home Stem

Remember that a new Home Learning Grid is also available on St Barbara’s website.

Please do not feel under any pressure to complete all suggested tasks. Feel free to adapt tasks to suit your learning and try hard to keep your mind active.

A huge well done to R M for creating a very cosy reading den yesterday.
