Good Morning, Fine Fives!
I hope that you are well-rested and ready to start your learning day.
As usual we will begin with our morning prayer:

We ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us
So that we may fully benefit from out day together. Amen.

Spelling Task
At the top of a page in a dictionary there are GUIDE words. Guide words are the first and last words on the pages. Look at the pages above. Bear is the first word on the first page while beyond is the last word on the second page. All of the other words on the pages are listed alphabetically between the guide words.
Here are the guide words from three different pages in the dictionary:
cool – correspond P.42 correspondent – country P. 43 impulse – independent P.109
Write the number of the page on which the following words would appear:
- coroner 2. count 3. increase 4. inadequate 5. copper 6. correspond 7. incident
Now try these:
- indeed 2. core 3. cosmonaut 4. corrupt 5. income 6. coppice 7. inadvertent 8. council
Can you think of three words not mentioned above which would be found on each of the three pages?

R.E.
This week we have been looking at Jesus’ commandment to:
‘Love one another as I have loved you.’
Jesus showed his love for all of us on Good Friday when he died on the cross. Tomorrow we are going to celebrate the Feast of the Ascension. On this day, forty days after his resurrection on Easter Sunday, Jesus ascended into Heaven leaving the disciples behind to carry on with his work and to be witnesses for him. They were a little scared to be left without Jesus but they believed in him and they knew that he would not leave them alone. They were quite right of course; the Holy Spirit came to help them on the Feast of Pentecost and we’ll explore that later.
Below you will see two very different video clips about the Ascension. Please watch both of them.
Now what I would like you to do is to draw or make your own reminder of what happened on the Feast of the Ascension.
You could think about making the figures of Jesus, his disciples and the two people dressed in white – you could even create your own video clip.
Or you could draw them and write a sentence or a paragraph below; you might want to make a picture using other media – e.g. cotton wool for the clouds.
I have attached some ideas to help you below.
Whatever activity you choose to do, please email it to gw09mckinneysheelah@glow.sch.uk or, with an adult’s permission, upload it on to Twitter @St_BarbarasPS
Well done Primary 5. You’ve worked hard today. Time for a rest and I’ll see you tomorrow!
