Primary 4/3

Friday 24 April 2020

Good morning boys and girls!!  Rise and shine, I think it’s to be a lovely day and it’s Friday!! That’s our first week after the Easter holidays over.   Yesterday was a much better day than my weather app had told me.  It was actually quite sunny and not as cloudy as they had said.  Today it has to be even warmer (fingers crossed).

So before we start we will remember to say our prayers.  Let’s begin with our Morning Prayer and we will say a Hail Mary and  an Our Father.  We will take time to remember all of the people who need a little prayer and ask God to keep them and ourselves safe.

Let’s take our learning outside today!!  Remember to put on some sun screen and wear a hat.

How do you fancy some shadow drawing!!

Today we are going to base our learning around your marvellous creations.  You can use your favourite toys to make a scene like the child in the picture.  You are going to use the sunshine to trace round the shadows of your toys on paper (single sheets will do then you can join them).

Look at your drawings, now you are going to use them to write.  What will you decide to do?  An imaginative story, a newspaper report, what title will you give your piece of writing?  It’s all up to you.  I can’t wait to read them, please email or post your drawings along with your stories to SBoyce@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk or gw09boyceshirley2@glow.sch.uk or our Twitter.

If you have time remember to test yourself on this week’s words.

Thank you to the boys and girls who sent me in pictures of their work from yesterday.  Well done, I was very impressed with what you remembered about your parts of speech. 🥇

Numeracy

Today I would like you to continue with your stepping stones from yesterday.  If you haven’t given it a go, try today.  If you have chalk you might want to use that (if you are allowed).  Write the numbers 0 to 12 on the ground or on paper and test yourself on a table of your choice.  Keep a record of your time and you will be able to see how fast you can get.

Sumdog Challenge Update – Well done to all the amazing mathematicians who have completed their Sumdog Challenge.   If you can, try to finish before the deadline at 2.30 pm today.  I can see that you have been working hard on your Place Value.🥇

RE  🙏🏻

Let’s take a short time out of our day to think about what we have achieved this week.  We thank God for all the beautiful things that we can smell, hear and see whilst outside.  We can also thank God for ourselves.  Look at all the wonderful things we can do, how much we have learned in our time at school.  We are all unique and very special to God and our families, so we need to remember that and give thanks to God.

Boys and girls you have worked very hard this week and I want you to give yourselves a great big pat on the back.  You should be proud of all you have achieved and I hope you have a lovely weekend in the sunshine with your families.  Take care and I will be back again next week.
