Here are some super fun science experiments that you might like to try. Please ask a parent to help with experiment 2. Mrs Haughey

Fun science activities

 

Good morning Primary 5,

I hope that you are all well and looking after yourselves. Mrs Haughey has been telling me how busy you have been.

Continue working on your coordinates. Here is a link to the maths game that we didn’t get time to play in class.

https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/click-coordinate.html
Remember
*the horizontal axis (the “along axis) is called the x-axis
*the vertical axis (the “up” axis) is called the y-axis

Pictures can be drawn using coordinates.
If you have squared paper here is one to try:
Make a coordinate grid (Cartesian coordinate grid)
Remember to plot the points in order and join them up as you move from one point to the next.

Highest x-coordinate 15
Highest y-coordinate 10
(2,4)(2,1)(7,1)(13,4)(13,7)(7,4)(2,4)(8,7)(13,7)Stop
(7,1)(7,4)Stop
You could try to make your own picture and test the coordinates on a family member.

I hope that you have remembered all of the information that we have learned about cleanliness, hygiene and safety in the kitchen. This is a link to a game where you can test your skills.

In Spanish we have been learning about food and drink. This is a link to the video we have watched. There are some activities attached to it which you could try, but you don’t have to. Practise your Spanish with food in your kitchen, like the girl in the video.

Sunday is Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week.
This link will let you see how they celebrate Holy Week in Spain.

I think that you have deserve Golden Time today 🥇

During the Easter holiday there will be no official blogs from teachers. However, you can still keep busy with the many of activities that have been suggested over the last few weeks.

We wish you a relaxing break.

Stay safe🌈
! Feliz Pascua !🐣 Mrs Goodwin

Good Morning Primary 5,

I hope that you are wide awake and ready to learn. Try to start your day with some exercise  and a healthy breakfast. Could you set the table and organise breakfast for your family? Write down 3 things today that you are grateful for. It can be people, things and experiences – anything!
The winner of our Sumdog Competition yesterday was EP. Very well done, your accuracy was amazing! Today, please complete a daily 10 challenge from topmark.co.uk. You might even ask a family member to compete against you.

Let’s continue exploring negative numbers using rising and falling  temperatures. Check out the clips below and work through the challenges given:

Let’s revise some silent letter words today:

wrong  climb  wrist  knot  write  comb  knock  sign  knelt  thumb  wrestle  plumber  rhythm sword  honest  debt  government  autumn  solemn  build  circuit  silhouette raspberry

Use pyramid spelling to practise words. Write a paragraph story using as many words with silent letters as you can. Circle the silent letters within words.

Read a chapter of your personal reader and tell a  family member what it was about.

Practise some of your Spanish Vocabulary as you watch episode one of Mi Vida Loca – ‘My Crazy Life.’  Jot down the key vocabulary as you watch and practise it on a family member.

Recently we studied germination and plant/ flower growth in class. Unfortunately, we were unable to conduct the experiment that we had planned. I have always wanted to grow my own vegetables, so over the coming weeks I am going to try hard to have ‘green fingers’ and grow my own vegetables from cuttings. If you are interested  in having a go watch the following clip for some ideas:

Again, please remember that you are free to select and adapt suggested activities. The most important thing is to keep yourself busy and active. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reply or email.

Have a very happy Thursday, Mrs Haughey x

 

 

Good morning to our FABULOUS PRIMARY 5S,

I cannot believe that April has arrived. It is of course April Fool’s Day, be kind to your family!

Try hard to join the live Facebook Fractions and Decimals Workshop by Count On Us at 10.30 am. Further details are on my previous blog post.

Let’s continue exploring negative numbers. Watch the following clip and complete questions.

 

Make sure that you pause the clip whilst you work on the activity. If you want even more practice have a go at the following page in your jotter: Answers are provided below, so no peaking!

Negative Number lines

Please spend some time on your personal reading today. Select 5 tricky words or phrases and investigate their meanings by reading forwards and backwards and checking your online dictionary.

Please take some time to complete reading, spelling and numeracy set tasks on Sumdog today. A new competition is live and waiting. I will announce the winner tomorrow!

I know that you are all experts using Power Point now. Why not begin a personal research project on an areas of personal interest and start to create your own Power Point. It could be about your pet, your hobby, a country, a famous person, a planet, a sport that you love, an era in history. You choose! Remember to gather information from a variety of sources before organising your Power Point. Feel free to share your work.

Remember that you can select and adapt tasks suggested to suit your circumstances. However, it is important to continue to push yourself and keep your amazing brains active throughout the day.

I am looking forward to hearing about your home learning. Mrs H x

A little memory of P5:

 

 

 

Good afternoon P5,

I hope that you have all managed to complete some tasks today and have been busy and active.

Good morning P5. Let’s make the most of our day today.

Please spend a short time working towards challenges set on Sumdog, First News and Studyladder. Have you completed some tasks from your grid? Select  a challenge that you think you might enjoy for today.
I have added this week’s spelling words to Sumdog Spelling. Please spend time revising focus words.

I have signed up to a fabulous maths resources that we will be using in the coming weeks called Rigour Maths. This resources will provide you with video teaching clips for second level concepts in maths. You simply watch the clip, record examples and try the challenges set in your jotter. You must pause the clip as you work on the set examples. Next week I will also provide you with an online textbook page that will go along with the learning clips. For today I would like you to familiarise yourself with the online clip about negative numbers. To access the clip simply cut and paste/ copy the address below into the URL at the top of your search page. https://youtu.be/a5fhef4uV9Y
Please let me know how you get on with this activity by replying to this post.

If you have Lego at home perhaps you will enjoy today’s engineering challenge:
EYE LEGO Engineering Design Challenge: Amazing Mazes
Challenge: Create a maze that a marble can run through including turns, tunnels, and dead ends to make the maze difficult to navigate.
Engineering Goals:
The maze must have a defined start point and end point. Make sure that you make a plan before you build, just like an engineer would!
Engineers make plans before they build, but those plans often change and evolve during the design process. Good luck!

Try to get your body moving today. How many of each exercise can you do in one minute: squats, star jumps, sit ups, push ups, burpies?

I would love to see more pics of your home activities on St Barbara’s Twitter page.

Please spend some quiet time today and say a Hail Mary and an Our Father for all NHS workers.

If you have any questions, please get in touch. Feel free to send me an email to tell me what you have been learning: louisehaughey@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk.

Stay safe and keep smiling. Mrs H x

Good morning Primary 5,

I hope that you enjoyed a lovely relaxing weekend with your families.  Week two of home learning will be a little easier if you make a plan and try to get into a routine. Some of you managed to spend some time completing tasks on First News, Sumdog and Studyladder last week, well done. New tasks are set and waiting for you for this week. Remember that Sumdog will also allow you access to spelling and reading tasks.

We discussed the idea of creating a Time Capsule Letter to our future selves. In your letter you could give information about your likes, dislikes, your hopes/dreams for the future, what is happening in the world in 2020, what you have been doing during school closure and how you are feeling.  When complete seal the letter in an envelope and mark ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 2030.’ Give your letter to a parent for safe keeping.

The sun is shining today so wrap up warm and spend some time outdoors.  You could jog around your garden or create your own fun workout.

Have a go at Dance Mat Typing on Bitesize: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf2f9j6/articles/z3c6tfr

This will help to improve your touch typing skills.

Please spend some quiet time praying for those who are suffering across the world. Try to make someone at home smile today.

Stay safe! Mrs Haughey x

 

 

Good morning to all our fabulous P5s,
