P4/3 Wednesday 22nd April
Good morning everyone, start today with our morning prayer and a Hail Mary for all those who are sick and for all our NHS workers who are working hard in all the hospitals across the country.
H&WB
Keep moving boys and girls, either with Joe Wicks or Jump start Johnny or even Oti Mabuse! Exercise is not only good for the body but great for the mind. It makes you feel good! Therefore I have attached some Workout Challenges for you. You don’t need any fancy resources, in fact you will see that you have most of them in your house already! Do you have a pillow ? Or even a bag or box of mismatched socks?!?!? Hahaha if your house is like mine, I’m sure you will! My girls are doing the sock game today! Try it out!
Literacy
For 15-20 minutes, ask an adult to help you revise your phoneme words, ask them to dictate short sentences for you.
On Monday, I asked you to start reading a book of your choice. By now you should have completed at least one chapter. I would like you to use one of your comprehension strategies – Visualisation. Choose a descriptive setting or character from your text and draw and label your drawing. Remember, this is how you imagine it to look like using the descriptive language from book. Feel free to send me these.
A follow on task from this: Can you list the adjectives used in this phrase? Can you remember what an adjective is? Find out if not. Next, using adjectives, describe your own appearance or a family member’s. You can draw a portrait of them too.
Numeracy
Let’s start with practising our counting this morning, you should try to count in 2s,3s,5s and 10s. Have a look at that following link, there are lots of activities you can do here to support your counting.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/znywjhv
Write the following numbers in words:
89, 112, 159, 202, 270, 333, 471
Use the following link for extra work on place value. I have also attached some challenges for those of you who want to give yourself that little bit extra challenge and push.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmdpnrd
Place Value 3 digits (extra challenge)
STEM
I came across a great wee experiment for you and have attached it below; how to make your own lava lamp. If you have the resources, have a go at this and don’t forget to post your pics or videos on twitter! Have fun!

Today, I want to look at rounding.
Think about the number 27. It sits between 20 and 30 on the number line.
These are the closest TENS to 27, but which is closest?
27 is 7 steps away from 20 but only 3 steps away from 30 so if we are rounding to the nearest TEN then 27 is rounded (nearer) to 30.
We say that, “27 rounded to the nearest ten is 30.”
The rule is:- If a number has a 1, 2, 3, or 4 in its units then we round down.
Examples – 24 rounds down to 20, 61 rounds down to 60, 353 rounds down to 350,
27,451 rounds down to 27,450
If the number has 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 in the units then we round up.
Examples – 58 rounds up to 60, 69 rounds up to 70, 397 rounds up to 400,
1,456 rounds up to 1460, 27,305 rounds up to 27,310
1.Round these numbers to the nearest 10
a) 46 b) 82 c)19 d) 84
e) 146 f) 181 g) 219 h) 424
i) 65 j) 195 k) 203 l) 888
2.There were 137 pupils at the school dance. Round this to the nearest 10.
3.It is 432 miles from my home to my secret submarine. Round this to the nearest 10 miles.
4.My bed is 196cm long. Round this to the nearest 10 cm.
5. After a lottery win was shared out each winner received £476. Round this to the nearest 10 pounds.
Write your answers in your jotter and I’ll post them tomorrow. You can also send them to me at
gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk
There are more questions like this in your Sumdog challenge this week and in your Studyladder learning pod.
Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 11 (part 2) of, “How to Train your Dragon.”
The Hairy Hooligans have turned to the book, “How to Train your Dragon” to find out how to deal with the enormous sea dragon that is sitting on their beach. The advice is, “Yell at it!”
After listening to the chapter review the advice given in the book. Would you say that it was successful?
We know that yelling does work for smaller dragons so is the advice all bad?
Can you think of any way that the Hairy Hooligans could have followed the advice to, “Yell at it.” and it would have worked?
We also have some new reading materials for you to work on. Your parents should have received a username and password for Scholastic Books yesterday. Follow this link
https://slz03.scholasticlearningzone.com/slz-portal/#/login3/GBRWY9D
To find a new reading book and quiz for you to complete in your jotter.
To wake your body up after all that work why not try these stretches
Today you could write a prayer thanking God for the things in your life that bring you joy and comfort.
Remember to keep working on an activity from your new homeworking grids.
Oh, and wash your hands!

Good Morning Primary 3,
I hope you’ve been enjoying your home learning this week.
Don’t forget to say the morning prayer before you start your day.
Lets start today with some P.E as part of our Health and Wellbeing.
Don’t forget to warm up. Here is a link to the warm up song we use in class.
I found a useful resource with exercises we can do at home with little to no equipment. Click the link and take a look. Lets get our bodies moving.
For literacy today click the links below for some spelling and reading tasks.
For Numeracy today check out the link below.
This afternoon I would like you do some R.E work. This week we have had a look at prayer. Today we are looking at The Lord’s Prayer. This a prayer that you all know from school. Please have a look at the power point which will take you through each line.
When you have read through the power point I would like you carefully think about what each line means. Copy each line down into your jotter and draw a picture to represent what it means.
End this task by trying to say The Lord’s Prayer.
Like always, I would love to see some of your work so feel free to send some pictures. Also drop me a message if you have any questions regarding your work. mcmullenke@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk
Remember it is not compulsory for you to complete every single task just do what you can manage and ensure you take lots of breaks. You also have access to a brand new home learning grid for some further challenge tasks.
Have a wonderful day!

I have attached a powerpoint with the activities for today. Please complete what you can.
If you have any questions please get in touch by emailing me at
gw14waughamanda@glow.sch.uk

P1a Wednesday 22nd April
Good morning boys and girls, it’s Wednesday already!! I hope that you are enjoying the sunshine and managing to spend some time in your gardens.
HWB
Let’s begin today with some exercise, Joe Wicks or Jump Start Johnny will both wake you up and get your mind ready to work.
Literacy – I would like you to continue working on all of your initial sounds and phonemes th, sh, ch and ng.
This week our focus phoneme is wh. I hope that you have managed to think of some words with the wh phoneme sound in them. Usually in class we use our magnetic boards to practise with a friend, if you have one at home please try to do this with someone in your family, if not you can practise writing the words out.
when, whip, whisk, whisper, which, why
Strategy:
Say the word out loud – when
Make the word/break the word – wh e n
Blend the word (push the sounds together) – when
Read the word – 📖when
Write the word 📝 Try to use this strategy with each word.
It is also important to practise reading all of the common words in your word box, remember to write out your 3 new words and add them to your box – out, now, new. As these are tricky words we can’t sound them out, we can look at the shape of the word to help us remember it (take a picture in your mind) or sometimes we can spot other words within words.
Practise writing these words in a fun way. These are my two favourite ways: shaving foam and play doh.

Please select a new book from your reading website, listen to it first, then read along with it. Try to write a sentence about your favourite page and draw a picture to match. I’d love to see some pictures of your super literacy work!!
Numeracy – Practise counting fowards to 30 and backwards with a clap. Can you remember the doubles song that I taught you? 🎶One and one make two, one and one make two, e oh my daddio, one and one make two🎶 If you do try and sing it up to 5 and 5.
For the next task you will need a whiteboard or a pencil and paper. We are going to practise the formation of our numbers to 10. This might be quite easy for you but I’d like you to try and write them as neatly as you can. Watch this clip and join in…
TIOF
At school were learning that we are all special and unique. Can you sing this song to someone at home?
Draw a picture of yourself and write one sentence about what makes you special.
I am special because…
Your caterpillars turned into beautiful butterflies, I am sorry that you didn’t get to see them. I took some pictures before I let them fly away.
Please contact me if you need any help or advice or send me some pictures of your great work. gw09wallacemarie2@glow.sch.uk Do what you can and try your best, that’s all we can ask of you.
Take care,

Wednesday 22nd April- Primary 7
Good morning Primary 7, we are half way through the first week of term 4. Doesn’t time fly when you are having fun? 🙂 I hope you are all awake, had your breakfast and ready to start your day.
Today I have included some more learning tasks for you to work on. Well done to everyone who has been completing these already, I would love to hear how you are getting on with the activities that you have chosen. Remember you can comment here, post on Twitter or email me a copy of your completed tasks.
Here is the link to today’s work-
Remember to say your daily prayers and continue to thank God for keeping you and your family safe. Say a Hail Mary and Our Father today, I would be really impressed if you could try to say these in Spanish as I know you regularly practise this in assembly.
Here is the PowerPoint about Vincent Van Gogh that will support you with your research task this afternoon.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and keep smiling! 😀
Mrs Butler 🌈
I thought this was a very good image to help inspire all the pupils who say, “I can’t draw” or “I am rubbish at drawing”. Give today’s art activity your best shot.
Primary 2- Wednesday 22nd April
