Maths🔢
Yesterday you explored what you could do in one minute. How did you get on with your one minute challenges? Did you manage to beat your partner?
The Hour🕘
Lets think…
What can you do in one hour?
An hour is quite a long time but is tricky to estimate.
Today Sabrina is going to show you how one hour can be measured on a clock, using the example of her football training from five o’clock to six o’clock.

Remember the shorter hand on the clock is the hour hand.
The hour hand takes one hour to move between one number and the next, while the minute hand moves right round the clock in the same time.
There are 60 minutes in one hour.
Now I would like you to think what you do in one hour?
Do you go to a club for an hour?
Does it take you an hour to take your dog a long walk?
O’Clock Task🕐
Digital Clocks
You have been learning all about the analogue clock.
Today I am going to introduce you to the digital clock.
We’re surrounded by digital clocks everywhere these days on mobiles, computers, TVs and alarm clocks.
Digital clocks use numbers to tell the time, instead of hands. It is usually battery or electricity powered.
Digital clocks are often smaller than analogue clocks as the numbers are easier to read.
Jack Hartmann wants to tell you more about the digital clock.
Digital Clock Hunt 🕵🏻♀️🕵️♂️
Today I would like you to go on a hunt around your house to see if you can spot any digital clocks.
You could take photographs of these and send me pictures of some of the clocks that you found on your clock hunt. 🕐
A parent in our class has very kindly emailed me a picture of this time poster that she bought and has been using with her child to help them learn about Time. She has found it very useful and kindly wanted to share this picture with you, to see if it would help any other parents.

We we’re talking yesterday about how important it is to look after our bodies. Drinking plenty especially during exercise and warm weather to keep us hydrated. Our bodies are amazing things.
Here is a little activity to keep you busy and at the same time learn about all of the parts that make up ‘US’!!
Have you got a roll of wallpaper lying around or if you have been receiving lots of packages (did you know all our posties are busier than their busiest time of the year, Christmas!) during lockdown and have cardboard boxes around I want you to lie them flat on the ground and get someone in your house to draw round you. (The weather’s not looking that good today but should be dry so even do this task outside)
Here we have our template!! Can you label and identify as many parts of the human body, all the organs? See if you can have a good guess at where they are located. Our heart 💓 Should be easy, what about our lungs, liver etc. Try to see how many you can find. You could even put your artistic talents to good use and draw them in.
Remember to email your marvellous pictures to gw13mceleneylauren@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.

As we know things just now are very different from what we are used to. By now our new Primary 1 children would have been in to visit the school but, like you, they have not been able to come in for their visits. We are thinking that it would be a lovely idea for you to say a little prayer for them. In order to make them feel welcome to our school in August, I would like you to choose the word for your stage below, write/colour it on a sheet of paper, hold it up and ask an adult to take a picture of you holding your word with a big smile and if it is possible you could wear your uniform. Please email your picture to (gw13mceleneylauren@glow.sch.uk). We will use these to make our Primary 1’s feel very welcome to our school.
A Great Big Welcome To St. Barbara’s!
Primary 1 – A; Primary 5 – Great; Primary 4 – Big; Primary 6 – Welcome; Primary 2 – To; PRIMARY 3 – St. (remember the dot); Primary 7 – Barbara’s!
Do you remember our Easter Message?
We still miss you lots!!
