🌈🌈GOOD MORNING PRIMARY 4/3🌈🌈
Hi boys and girls, hopefully the sun breaks through the clouds today!! ☀️ 🌞 I have loved watching/seeing all of your Virtual Sports Day activities from Tuesday. Definitely some budding athletes for the future I think!
Let’s start the day with our morning prayer 🙏. We could also say a Hail Mary remembering anyone who needs a little prayer.
Literacy 📝📖 🔠
Choose a starter activity from the link below. Remember to choose one you haven’t already used.
Today we are going to continue with our homophones. Watch the following link to give yourself a little reminder.

Remember homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and are spelt differently. Last week we looked at to/too/two because they are very commonly mis-spelled as people use the wrong one. You must ensure that you use the correct word in your writing. We all did very well on the exercise but the hard part now is to remember to apply what you have learned and use the correct word. I’ll be looking very closely at this in your written work. 🔎
Today I would like you to think of pairs/trios of other homophones. Can you list 5? 7? or maybe even 10? Try your hardest and I would love to see your lists. Some are more common than others. Once you have your list I would like you to take 3 of your sets of homophones and show me you understand what each of them mean by using them in a sentence. Remember your core targets and make your sentences as interesting as possible. Remember, too, it must make sense.
Continue to practise your phoneme words if you need to.
Today I have assigned you a reading book 📖 in Scholastics. Please email me and I will send you the information you need to get into your book.
Numeracy🔢
Today we are going to concentrate on our 4 number operations. These are addition/subtraction/multiplication/division (+ – x ÷). If you are given a sum you always have to look at the sign and ensure we carry out the correct operation. If we are given a word problem we have to ensure we read it carefully and ask ourselves what we need to do. Will we add, subtract, multiply or divide.
We are going to be working from our Teejay Textbook today, so I will give you your exercise when you email me about your reading book.
When you have finished you can choose to play an online maths game of your choice for one of the four operations.
Health and Well-being 🚴♀️🕺🤾🏼♂️👒 🧢
We have all been enjoying the lovely sunny weather recently and it has been great to be able to get outside and play. Even though it is important for everyone to enjoy the sun we have got to remember that it can burn your skin. There are three important steps to stop sunburn:
• Cover up with clothing and a hat
• Spend time in the shade,
• Wear suitable sunscreen and apply it often
In the attached sheet the character in it is out in the sun with no hat!!! I would like you to design a hat for the character and make sure it offers suitable protection against the sun.
Or if you want to make a more detailed design on your sun hat why not click on the link below.

R.E. 🙏
When we pray it is important to remember a few simple things. Prayers can be simple thoughts and words coming straight from the heart. Sometimes God doesn’t seem to give us what we pray for. Do not give up praying – keep on talking to God and listening for he knows what is best for you, even if it is not what you expected. It is also important to remember that we don’t just ask God for things we want. Remember to praise God and thank him for his goodness, to tell him about ourselves and others and say sorry if we have done wrong.
Why not join in with this hymn Alleluia Alleluia Give Thanks to the Risen Lord below to praise God:
I would like you to write out a short prayer thanking God for all the wonderful things you have in your life. I have included a template below for you to use or you can design your own.
Please send us a copy of your prayer at gw09boyceshirley2@glow.sch.uk or Tweet us @St_BarbarasPS.
Also as it is Thursday again let’s remember to thank all NHS workers tonight at 8pm by clapping and making as much noise as you can for them. 👏👏
Remember you can choose an activity from the grid too!
Well boys and girls that’s you finished for the day. I hope you remember all the good advice given in your health and well-being work today about staying safe in the sun. ☀️
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Take care and stay safe.
