I hope you enjoyed your Slushies yesterday!! We just managed to get them made in the warm weather as today is to be a bit cooler.

YOGA

We are going to follow a little Yoga session that Mrs McFall (Daniel and Luke’s mum) has kindly allowed us to share on the Blog.

Below is a great Yoga workout that you can do along with an adult or your siblings.  You can also have your favourite ted join in too.

Yoga is a great skill helping you learn the importance of how you breath which in turn helps us relax and sleep well.  (Parents: Mrs McFall recommends that you allow your child to go with the flow and, if you are able to accompany them doing the video, ask them similar questions).  Remember with any exercise we should remember to drink plenty to keep us hydrated, looking after our bodies!!

Once again a great big thank you to Mrs McFall and Luke.

R.E

Over the course of the last few days we have been learning about the importance of Pentecost. It has shown us how important the feast is in the church’s year.

There are a few activities below which you can complete to reinforce what you have learned about The Feast of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit.  You can choose to do one activity or why not complete it together with your siblings.

pentecost – story

pentecost – word search

When you have finished your activities, take a few minutes to pray together with your family.  I have attached a lovely hymn that you could sing together to finish off your Pentecost work for today.

Have a lovely day boys and girls.

Please send me some pictures of your work as I would love to post some of it on the blog for your friends to see.

Remember if there is anything I can help you with then please get in touch at gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk

Take care and ….

P4/3 Tuesday 2nd June

Good morning everyone, what a glorious day it was yesterday.  I hope you all enjoyed the weather.  Any work that you didn’t get a chance to do yesterday, try to do it today.  Your spelling words are the most important, these will keep you on track for when you return to school in August.

Morning prayer and Our Father.

Literacy

Spend 15 mins this morning revising your spelling words.

During this time away from school, we have had to spend a lot of our time in our gardens or out walking in our local area.  Following on from your acrostic POSITVE poem yesterday, today I would like you write another poem.  The title can be MY GARDEN or MY DAILY WALK (or cycle), or SUMMER.  To begin with, I want you to use all of your senses for the content of this poem.  For example:

  • In my garden/During my walk, I can see…
  • In my garden/During my walk, I can hear…
  • In my garden/During my walk, I can smell…
  • In my garden/During my walk, I can touch…
  • In my garden/During my walk, I can taste…

Complete this and then use the information to create your poem.  It can be an acrostic poem using the words above or you can choose to write a poem with 2 or 3 verses.

Numeracy

Some mental maths to begin this morning with The Daily 10.

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

Using the Teejay textbook 1A, do page 142 and if you have time or want to do more, have a go at page 185.

Health & Wellbeing

With the hot weather that hopefully we have all been enjoying we are going to look at ways to help us stay hydrated.  We know that we need to drink plenty of water and ensure we do that more frequently during hot days.

Another great way to enjoy the hot weather is with a lovely cool Slushie!!

Yum Yum.  Below there is a great recipe, with a little bit of science thrown in, that lets you make a slush with your hands!! Yip that is right you don’t need a fancy NutriBullet or a blender, just your hands.  So here goes :

Instructions to make a cool mouth-watering smoothie!!

  • Place one cup of your chosen juice into a small Ziploc bag and zip tight.
  • Place 4 cups of ice and half a cup of salt into a large Ziploc bag along with the juice bag and zip that tight too.
  • Shake the large bag over the sink or outside for 2-5 minutes or until the juice bag turns to slush.
  • Pour into a cup and enjoy!!

If you have your own recipe/method for making a Slushie please email this along with a picture of your Slushie to gw09grahamannemarie@glow or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.

The Feast of Pentecost is a very important celebration in the Church’s year and watching the short clip below will give you a snapshot of the importance of this great celebration.

The Feast of Pentecost is seen as the Birthday of the Church.

The Holy Spirit came to the disciples not only as a reminder that Jesus would always be with them but so that they received the strength and courage to continue to build God’s kingdom, not only in Jerusalem but to ensure it reached the ends of the earth.  In John’s Gospel on Sunday we heard not only about Jesus’ word but about Jesus’ action, “he breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit”.  Jesus’ breath gives new life, eternal life into the disciples, giving them the courage to go out and spread the word by being given special gifts. Jesus gave them the gift of speaking different languages to be able to carry out his work all over the world.

The Holy Spirit came to us in the Sacrament of Baptism and will or has come again to us in the  Sacrament of Confirmation.  Talk to an adult about your Baptism/Confirmation(if you have made it yet).  Think about all the wonderful gifts God has given us and give thanks to the Lord for all that we have to be glad of.  Just like the disciples we give thanks to the Lord of all the gifts he has given us.  We are so grateful to God for always being with us.

Here’s a little update on our Shining Stars!

Have a great day!

Primary 6 – Tuesday 2nd June

Good Morning Primary 6!!

It’s Tuesday, But you probably already knew that.

What you may not know is that we have been watching, ‘Mi Vida Loca’ on a Tuesday  but in Spain Tuesday is considered an unlucky day, especially Tuesday the 13th

 

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.

  1. 17x48p = 816p ,  2×52 = 624p,  816+624 = 1440p or £14.40
  2. Change everything to pence. 435p-75p = 360p,  360p÷3p = 120 pages
  3. 3000÷60 = 50 portions of rice
  4.  2000x£2.30 = £4,600,  700x£2.30 = £1,610,  50x£2.30= £115,  3x£2.30 = £6.90,  £4,600+£1,610+£115+£6.90 = £6,331.90
  5.  Change it all to pence,  61295p÷65 = 943 programmes
  6. Simplify and remove the decimal points,  4485÷975 = 4.6 or £4.60
  7. 24 cubes÷4 = 6,  6×3(to find ¾) = 18,  so 18 red cubes,  4 blue cubes and 2 green cubes to make 24.
  8.  Try a table, estimate and check

    Bags of Red

    		 Bags of Green Total
    1 1

    75+90 = 165p or £1.65

    2

    		 2

    150+180 = 330p or £3.30

    3

    		 3

    225+270 = 495p or £4.95

    (75p too much)
    2 3

    150+270 = 420p or £4.20
  9.  100x50p = 5000p or £50,  80x30p = 2400p or £24,  £80+£24 = £104
  10.  40%+15% = 55% leaving 45% still to visit,  45% of 250,000 is 250,000÷100 = 2,500×45 = 112,500 people
  11.  There are 5 blocks of 200g in 1kg, so divide by 5,  £7.50÷5 = £1.50
  12.  There are 4 stacks of 90p in £3.60 so she buys ¼ of a kilogram or 250g
  13.  Try a table, estimate and check
    Buy Lunch Packed Lunch

    Total

    5

    		 25

    £25+£75 = £100

    10

    		 20

    £50+£60 = £110
  14.  Change everything to grams and divide, 1500g÷30 or 150÷3 (the answer is the same) = 50 days
  15.  8x6g of fibre = 48g of fibre in an 800g loaf,  48g÷20 = 2.4g of fibre in each slice
  16.  Weight of matches = 45g-23g = 22g,  one match weighs 22g÷220 = 0.1g
  17.  Total cost of the journey is 114x£1.36 = £155.04,  cost for each person is £155.04÷8 = £19.38
  18. 35 apple trees cost 35x£24.75 = £866.25,  money left = £1200-£866.25 = £333.75,  £333.75÷12.50 = 26.7 so he can buy 26 pear trees but not 27
  19. £40÷4.25 = 9.41,  so they can buy 9 yo-yos,  9 yo-yos cost 9x£4.25 = £38.25,  they have 75p left
  20. If a quarter of the class are boys then three quarters are girls, so 18 is ¾, that means 6 is ¼. There are 6 boys in the class

How did you get on? They were a proper nightmare weren’t they. Today were going to go a little easier.

  1. Mr Gifford has 282,519 photos on his camera. His sister has 632,649. How many more photos does Mr Gifford’s sister have?
  2. Samantha has 438,670 DVDs in her collection. Tara has 234,548. How many DVDs do they have together?
  3. In an endurance race, George ran 366,264m. The winner ran 406,938m. How much further was the winning distance?
  4. Sam the giant ate 481,930 people. His dad ate 620,784 people. How many more people did his dad eat?
  5. In January, 1,470,306 people visit the swimming pool. In June the number of visitors increases by 1,742,465. How many people visit in June?
  6. On Monday, one million, four hundred and fifty two thousand six hundred and two people watched a football match on TV. On Wednesday, two million, eight hundred and ninety six thousand two hundred and eighty nine people watched a football match on TV. How many people watched the two games?
  7. A brand new Ferrari costs £1,180,205. In the sale, the price is reduced by £209,890. What is the new price of the Ferrari?
  8. A farm in Australia has 3,548,205 sheep, 1,709,878 cows and 11 dogs. How many animals are there in total?
  9. What is the sum of 4,332,892 and 3,769,247?
  10. There are 3,882,675 West Ham fans in the world and 9,920,249 Liverpool supporters in the world. What is the total number of West Ham and Liverpool fans in the world?

Remember, decimals make no difference to how you add, subtract, multiply or divide you only have to remember to keep the decimal points above one another, in a straight line.

This is not how we would write out sums to find the answer so don’t write them this way in your jotter. Use place value, carrying and decomposition (borrowing) to find your answers.

I’ll post the answers to these tomorrow or you can send me your answers at:

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

For spelling this week I want to look at another spelling rule.

The sound ‘sh’ represented by ‘ci’.

Some words use ‘ti’ to make ‘sh’. Words like station, nation or education.

When a longer word is formed from a root word, however, the ‘sh’ sound is represented by ‘ci’.

Copy these words into your jotter adding the missing letters

music – mus—–

space  – spa—–

finance  – finan—-

opti-  – opti—-

office  – offi—-

suffi–  – sufficient

face  – fa—-

grace  – gra—–

tactic  – tacti—-

electric  – electri—-

I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.

On Thursday and Friday I put up a special announcement about the buddy letters that you should be writing to the new Primary 1’s.

I’ve now received letters back from about three quarters the class.  If you haven’t sent me your’s yet, now is your time to get it written.

Primary 1b- Tuesday 2nd June

Good morning boys and girls🙋‍♀️

Welcome to a brand new month! Let’s hope the sunshine keeps up!☀️

This is the last month of your first year at primary school. I can’t believe how fast time has flown by, it seems like only yesterday that I was welcoming you into our class for the first time. I wish we could be spending this last month together but I am just so glad that you are all safe and well. I miss you lots but we have lots of amazing memories in Primary 1b to remember to keep us smiling!

I was working in the hub yesterday, it was great to see some familiar faces from our school. I hope you managed to enjoy the sunshine and complete some activities from your home learning grid.

We will begin our day as always, with our morning prayer.🙏🏻

God our Father, as we prepare to begin our work, we ask you to help us 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.

One thing I love is listening to you all reading each day in class. I am really missing hearing you all read. I would love if you could record yourself reading your Scholastic book today and send me your audio/video clip. You could record yourself on Scholastic or use an IPad or phone to record you reading.

Maths🔢

Time ⏰

I can tell from the pictures I have been sent, that a lot of you have been enjoying learning about time.

Look at the amazing clocks Layla and Chloe created. Well done girls!

 

 It is important that we can tell the time because we have to do lots of things at certain times of the day.

What time do you start school?

What time does school finish?

What time do you usually go to bed?

What time does Father Campbell stream mass live on a Sunday?

On Friday you were learning how to tell the time to the hour on the analogue clock. How did  you get on telling the time using o’clock?

Remember:

When the short hand points to a number, this tells us how many hours it is.

When the minute hand is pointing to 12, it is showing a full hour.
We call this time ‘o’clock’.

Telling Time 🕰 

Join in and practise reading the time on the clock!

Parents, if you are looking for a clock to help practise o’clock with your child, I have included a useful link below. This is an excellent online resource which you can use to support your child.

Cluedo: Literacy

Step 1

Decide on six characters. In the game you have Professor Plum, Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard etc. You can give your character a title e.g. Lord Lime, Captain Chloe -it’s up to you!

Step 2

Give each of your characters a colour and  a few characteristics: for example, Lord Lime might be green in colour, he might have a walking stick and he might be sneaky, dishonest and cunning.

Step 3

Think of a setting. In the original edition of Cluedo each room belonged to a mansion with nine rooms.

You can choose any setting – but it must have nine rooms also. It could be a castle, a spaceship etc. List the nine rooms.

Step 4

Decide on six accessories the characters might have e.g. a walking stick, a metal briefcase etc.

Task

Draw each of your characters just like Top Trump cards. The top of each card should show the name of the character. Their clothes should clearly show which colour you have selected for them and each should feature the chosen accessory.

On the bottom of each card, write a brief description of the character based on the characteristics. You don’t need to add any categories or gradings (e.g. Magic 70 above).

Keep your cards somewhere safe.

Weight

Yesterday we began looking at units of measurement we use in weighing: grams and kilograms.

There is a reminder for you below.

Kilogram and Gram

A gram is a small unit which is used to weigh objects. It indicates how heavy the object is.

A kilogram is made up of 1000 grams.

Yesterday we changed grams to kilograms and kilograms to grams. We’ll do a little more of that today.

Remember: 2kg = 2000g         4kg 630g = 4630g

Try these:

Change these to grams:

a) 62kg        b) 19kg        c) 58kg 241g      d) 13kg 827g      e) 1kg 52g      f) 26kg 305g      g) 87kg 2g

Change these to kilograms:

a) 8000g      b) 19 000g      c) 92 000g      d) 48 000g      e) 31 000g      f) 65 000g      g) 5000g

The weights below are in grams. Change them to kilograms OR to kilograms AND grams:

a) 87 000g      b) 16 000g      c) 4000g      d) 8900g      e) 15 400g      f) 3200g      g) 60 000g

h) 8564g       i) 9560g            j) 4750g       k) 1018g       l) 9040g         m) 8003g     n) 1003g

The Feast of Pentecost is a very important celebration in the Church’s year and watching the short clip below will give you a snapshot of the importance of this great celebration.

The Feast of Pentecost is seen as the Birthday of the Church.

The Holy Spirit came to the disciples not only as a reminder that Jesus would always be with them but so that they received the strength and courage to continue to build God’s kingdom, not only in Jerusalem but to ensure it reached the ends of the earth.  In John’s Gospel on Sunday we heard not only about Jesus’ word but about Jesus’ action, “he breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit”.  Jesus’ breath gives new life, eternal life into the disciples, giving them the courage to go out and spread the word by being given special gifts. Jesus gave them the gift of speaking different languages to be able to carry out his work all over the world.

The Holy Spirit came to us in the Sacrament of Baptism and will or has come again to us in the  Sacrament of Confirmation.  Talk to an adult about your Baptism/Confirmation (if you have made it yet).  Think about all the wonderful gifts God has given us and give thanks to the Lord for all that we have to be glad of.  Just like the disciples we give thanks to the Lord of all the gifts he has given us.  We are so grateful to God for always being with us.

Please select an activity from your grid….and then you’re finished for the day! Well done, everyone! Time to relax and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Tuesday 2nd June- Health and Wellbeing 

With the hot weather that hopefully we have all been enjoying we are going to look at ways to help us stay hydrated.  We know that we need to drink plenty of water and ensure we do that more frequently during hot days.

Another great way to enjoy the hot weather is with a lovely cool Slushie!!

Yum Yum.  Below there is a great recipe, with a little bit of science thrown in, that lets you make a slush with your hands!! Yip that is right you don’t need a fancy NutriBullet or a blender, just your hands.  So here goes :

Instructions to make a cool mouth-watering smoothie!!

  • Place one cup of your chosen juice into a small Ziploc bag and zip tight.
  • Place 4 cups of ice and half a cup of salt into a large Ziploc bag along with the juice bag and zip that tight too.
  • Shake the large bag over the sink or outside for 2-5 minutes or until the juice bag turns to slush.
  • Pour into a cup and enjoy!!

If you have your own recipe/method for making a Slushie please email this along with a picture of your Slushie to gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.

Have a terrific Tuesday Primary 7 and I will be back tomorrow morning with more activities for you to complete.

Mrs Butler
