Good Morning, Fiery Fives!

I hope that you had a good rest, a good breakfast and are now ready to go!

Let’s begin with our 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 out day together. Amen.

 

Health and Wellbeing

We have all been enjoying the lovely sunny weather recently and it has been great to be able to get outside and play.  Even though it is important for everyone to enjoy the sun we have got to remember that it can burn your skin. There are three important steps to stop sunburn:

• Cover up with clothing and a hat
• Spend time in the shade,
• Wear suitable sunscreen and apply it often

In the attached sheet the character in it is out in the sun with no hat!!!  I would like you to design a hat for the character and make sure it offers suitable protection against the sun.

R.E.

When we pray it is important to remember a few simple things.  Prayers can be simple thoughts and words coming straight from the heart.  Sometimes God doesn’t seem to give us what we pray for.  Do not give up praying – keep on talking to God and listening for he knows what is best for you, even if it is not what you expected.  It is also important to remember that we don’t just ask God for things we want.  Remember to praise God and thank him for his goodness, to tell him about ourselves and others and say sorry if we have done wrong.

Why not join in with this hymn ‘Alleluia! Alleluia! Give Thanks to the Risen Lord’ below to praise God:

I would like you to write out a short prayer thanking God for all the wonderful things you have in your life.  I have included a template below for you to use or you can design your own.

Also as it is Thursday again let’s remember to praise (thank) all NHS workers tonight at 8pm by clapping and making as much noise as you can for them.

Good morning Primary 7,

I hope you are all well. I received quite a few emails from you yesterday and it really put a smile on my face reading them as I am missing you all.

Let us begin as we always do with our morning prayer. I would like you to say a special prayer to your Guardian Angel to continue to watch over and protect you.

Angel of God
My guardian dear
To Whom God’s love
Commits me here
Ever this day
Be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide.

Amen

A few children have contacted me to say they have completed their Scholastic novels that they were set and would like to be assigned new ones. Well done if you have completed your assigned novel or indeed a personal reader as we all know how important reading is and it is such a nice way to switch off and relax. I have really enjoyed reading my book in the back garden with the sunshine.

Continue to try your best Primary 7 and remember to take plenty of breaks, get lots of fresh air and do something that you enjoy to help keep your spirits up.

Send over any work that you have completed so that I can share it with your peers on our daily blogs. Any task that you complete should make you proud as I know it can be difficult to stay motivated during these times. I am proud of you all!

Have a terrific Thursday and I will be back tomorrow with more learning opportunities.

Mrs Butler

 

 

Good morning my wonderful ones 🥰

It’s Thursday already! It certainly has been a quick week!🤗

How are you feeling today? I hope you are well and ready for another great day of learning.📒

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.

Maths🔢

Yesterday you kick started your maths work by practising the days of the week and months of the year. Today we are going to focus on the Seasons.

How many seasons are there?

There are 4 seasons. The four seasons — winter, spring, summer, autumn.

It is important that you can name the seasons and their characteristics.

Jack Hartmann is here to help you! He is back with another catchy song. Enjoy!

How did you get on yesterday with reading the calendar? It is a very important skill that you will use throughout your lives, especially when you are a grown up.

I like to mark important dates on my calendar. First I always like to put in peoples’ birthdays so I do not forget. I also add in any holidays I have planned and any appointments I need to go to.

Calendars are very useful! Keep practising reading the calendar in your house.

Round the clock ⏰ 

Yesterday you were learning about clocks!

You now know that  a clock is a device that tells the time.

How many different types of clocks did you find in your house?

Today you are going to learn even more about the analogue clock.

Before you can tell the time, it is important that you learn all about the different parts of the analogue clock.

Let’s learn about the analogue clock with Jack Hartmann.

Here is a picture of an analogue clock:

An analogue clock is a circular-faced clock.

There are twelve numbers on a clock. As you can see the numbers one to twelve are around the outside of the clock. These numbers represent the hour.

The clock has two hands. Can you notice the difference in their size?

The hour hand is the short hand.

The long hand is used to measure minutes.

Here is a little song to help you remember the difference between  the short hand and long hand on a clock.

Now that you know about the main parts of a clock, it’s time to make your own!

Today I challenge you to make your very own clock face! ⏰ 

There are lots of different ways you can do this. Let’s get creative!

First you will need to find something that is a circular shape and draw around it. This could be a lid or plate.

Write the number 12 at the top and the number 6 at the bottom of the circle. Can you write in the rest of the clock face numbers?

Now put a dot in the centre of your circle. Well done! Now you have a clock face.

What else do we need? 2 hands!

Can you find 2 things that could be the hands of the clock? You could use spoons, pencils or straws but remember, one has  to be longer than the other.

If you would prefer to make your own paper clock, I have included a template for you below.

I would love to see a picture of the clock you have created. Please send a tweet or email me a picture.

Today is our writing day. We are going to be writing an imaginative story.

This is a fictional story and must include characters, setting and a main event.

To help you generate some ideas have a look at the story mat below.

Use a dice to choose one thing from each column. You should roll the dice 3 times to give yourself a character, setting and a problem. The problem will be your main event. If you do not have a dice at home then you can choose one thing from each column.

Now I would like you to use these three things to write an imaginative story. Remember it must have a beginning, a middle and an end. You could also include a picture.

Don’t forget to check your core targets!

I would love to read some of your finished stories. Please send them to gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk

Good morning everyone, I am wondering how tired you all were after a great virtual sports day!  Thank you to those who emailed videos and put up twitter pictures.  It was great to see you all looking so well and dare I say it, out of breath!!!

Let’s start with our morning prayer and a Hail Mary.

Literacy 

For the rest of this week, I want you to revise your phoneme from last week.

• P3 – ough
• P4 – ow

Choose some from your list and use them in a sentence, you can write these down if you want.  I was very impressed with some of your phoneme stories last week, thank you for those.

Quizzes are very popular just now and I have set you one below all about St Barbara’s parish and community.  You may have to do a bit of research to answer these and that is fine.  After you have completed this, create your own quiz on any topic of your choice, e.g Disney films, Children’s novels, The Spanish language etc  Send it to me and I will put it up on our Shining stars wall for all to see and have a go!

St Barbara’s Quiz

Maths

Again, well done to everyone who took part in the Sumdog challenge.  Today let’s practising counting out loud.  Let’s start counting in 1’s to 100, 2’s to 100, 5’s to 100 and 10’s to 100.

I also want you to say your times tables like we do in class – chanting.  Do this to the 6x.  You like to play BINGO in class, choose your 6 answers between the 2-6x and ask an adult to shout out times tables questions for you.  It would be good to play against someone else, a sibling or another adult.

Recap on Time from last week:

Write these times in digital format using the 12 hour clock.

• Half past 12
• 5 o’clock
• Half past 3
• Quarter past 1
• 10 o’clock
• Quarter to 7
• 9 o’clock
• Quarter past 2

 

RE

When Jesus needed to feel very close to his Father, what did he do? – He would pray.  Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, before he was betrayed by Judas.  He prayed before he raised Lazarus from the dead and Jesus prayed during the Last Supper, before he broke the bread.  Like us Jesus needed to share his worries and problems with his heavenly Father; he knew that he was never alone.  Just as we are never alone.  God is always with us.

When we pray we are having a conversation with God.  When we talk to God, he listens.  We don’t have to have special times for saying prayers.  Often we say them at bedtime but we can talk to God at any time.  Do you ever feel unsure about what to say to God?  Don’t worry as God our Father likes to hear about everything we have to tell him and he is always ready to listen.

The apostles knew how important it was to pray to God but like us they often felt uncertain about how to pray.  One day they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray.  What was the prayer that Jesus taught them? – The Our Father.

Watch this short video about how Jesus taught his disciples the Our Father:

 

Let’s say the Our Father now.  I have copied the words to help you if you need it.

I would like you to download the picture below if you can and colour it in.  If you can’t download it why not draw a picture like this one.
