Month: May 2020

Good morning boys and girls! Happy Friday!😁 I hope that you have had a good week. This is the 1st of May, a new month.  Usually we would go to mass on the first Friday of the month.  Fr Kenny is live on Facebook at 10am, perhaps your parents would tune in and watch mass with you, this would be a nice way to begin your day.

Literacy – Let’s begin today by revising all of our initial sounds and phonemes.

How did you get on with your alphabet scavenger hunt on Wednesday? I hope that you found an item for most sounds in the alphabet. If you didn’t manage to do this perhaps you can try it today?

Please revise all of the common words in your word tin.  Can you ask a parent to test you on the  common words that you have been practising this week? How well do you know them? Please write them neatly into your jotter. Remember to put today’s day and date at the top of your page.

1. this

2. that

3. then

4. with

5. us

6. so

7. much

8. now

9. new

10. out

Now mark them out of 10. How many did you get correct?

Reading – Continue to read the book that I have assigned you on Scholastic.  Can you design your own front cover for the book, including the title, author and illustrator’s name and picture of your own? If you prefer to use a Collins book you can.  Well done to all the boys and girls who have read their books, I can see that you have been doing really well. Keep it up!

*Please e-mail for logins if you haven’t already, these resources are helpful.*

I have also set a few tasks on studyladder for you to try.

Numeracy

As Friday is usually a testing day to test your knowledge, I’d like you to try another Daily 10 on topmarks.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Select level 1/Addition/Missing number calculations up to 10.

Practise writing your numbers up to 30 in your jotter.  Remember to leave a space between each number.

RE – This Sunday’s Gospel is about Jesus the Good Shepherd.

This story teaches us that Jesus is always there for us when we need him.  We are like the sheep and Jesus is the Good Shepherd.  Our Good Shepherd loves us and will protect us.  When we have Jesus as our shepherd we are safe.

Remember to say your prayers for everyone in our world who is sick and in need just now.

Can you draw a picture of Jesus – The Good Shepherd?

Have a great weekend.

Happy Friday Primary 7,

It’s nearly the weekend 🙂! Today marks the beginning of May, this is my favourite month of the year. We always get such lovely weather which makes me smile.

Let’s begin with our morning prayer. Find a quiet spot, close your eyes, join your hands and say thank you to God for looking after us and keeping us safe.

Here is the link to today’s learning activities-

Well done for working hard this week again Primary 7, I know it’s not easy in these circumstances. I really enjoyed hearing from some of you this week, your emails really cheered me up because I am missing you all. Remember you can email me at gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk or sreid@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk.

A huge thank you to all of your parents who are supporting you during this time. Please do not worry if you were not able to complete some activities this week, there was plenty for you to choose from and remember they are only suggestions. The main thing is that you are all keeping active, are healthy and safe. Maybe you could treat your mum and dad today and do something special for them to say thank you for helping you over these past few weeks? Perhaps you could make them lunch or a cup of tea?

Have a fantastic Friday and I will be back on Monday with some more fun learning activities.

Good morning primary 3,

Can you believe that another week of home learning is over?

Please start today by saying the morning prayer.

God Our Father as we prepare to begin our work we ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us so that we may fully benefit from our day together in school.

St. Barbara pray for us.

Literacy

Start off your literacy tasks today by doing some revision on adjectives.

Can you remember what an adjective is?

Take a look through the power point below to help remind you.

Adjectives

Now please write 5 sentences that contain an adjective. You can do this in your jotter.

For spelling today let’s have some fun!

What is the most creative way you can think of to revise your spelling words?

I had a go at home and chose to do some shaving foam spelling. It is harder than it looks!

Click the link below to take a look at how I got on.

Foam Spelling

Choose any method you like to practise your words today. Please remember to ask an adult’s permission before doing anything messy.

You can rainbow write them in your jotter if you would prefer.

For reading today I would like you to have some ‘ERIC’ time. This means we are reading for enjoyment. Choose any book or story you enjoy and sit down to read quietly. Reading is so important and can be so much fun when you find a story you enjoy.

Numeracy

To begin please choose a times table to revise. Go over it in your head or write it down in your jotter. Ask someone at home to test you on your focus table.

Yesterday I discovered a fun maths game for you try. This is called rounding pairs.

I had a go at home and was trying so hard to beat my time.

Click the link below to see how it works.

Rounding Pairs

R.E

Today we should have been attending  First Friday Mass. You can follow Holy Mass which is being streamed through Facebook  by Fr. Campbell at 10am. Please remember you must be supervised by an adult.

May is the month when we focus on Mary, the mother of Jesus. Traditionally at the beginning of May we would change the altar in our classroom to honour Mary. Why not see if you can set up your own altar somewhere in your home to have a special place to remember Mary during the month of May?  Click the link below to find some ideas of what you can include in your May altar.

May Altar

Health and Wellbeing

As today is the first day in the month of May, I thought we could take part in the ‘Meaningful May Calendar’.

 

Today it asks us to remember what is really important to us and why.

Finish off your day with some well deserved golden time and do something that makes you feel happy.

Take care and have a lovely weekend.

Hooray, it is Friday and a brand new month already…does anyone know what month it is now? Why not begin with your days of the week and months of the year song to find out! (I’ll give you a hint, last month was April)
