Today is our writing day. We are going to continue with our revision on instruction writing.
I would like you to think back to the healthy snack you made on Monday.
Can you write a set of instructions to tell me how you made it?
Have a look at the template below to see how to lay out your instructions. If you do not have a printer then please just copy this into your jotter.
I have included the instruction power point from last week in case you need some help.
If you did not manage to make your healthy snack then you can select another topic.
Maybe you could tell me how to play your favourite sport or x-box game.

Today is Ascension Thursday!
We have been thinking about loving and caring for others all week and we have tried to follow Jesus’ commandment to, ‘Love one another as I have loved you.’
You have created a Caring Wreath to show that you care and you have learned about how Jesus ascended into heaven forty days after his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Normally on Ascension Thursday we would all be going to Mass. Although we can’t actually go to church today, Bishop Toal is celebrating Mass for all of the children of the Diocese of Motherwell at 11am.
This Mass is being streamed on Facebook so you will need an adult’s permission to watch this:

Father Campbell is also celebrating Mass on St. Barbara’s Parish website at 10am.
With an adult’s permission, please select a Mass to follow.

Continue to revise your phoneme words and ask a parent or older sibling to dictate some sentences for you.
Today, (if this is possible, if not then you can do this tomorrow or another day when you have the ingredients) I would like us to have a P4/3 Bake off. I know that some of you have been learning to bake or make cakes. I would like you to do this today and post a picture on twitter or email me at gw09grahamannemarie@glow.sch.uk. I also want you to use your knowledge of instructional writing and write the instructions for how to make your cake. I will include them and the pictures on our Shining Stars page. It’s a great way of swapping recipes. I will participate too and post my outcome on twitter! Remember:
I’m looking forward to seeing them!

Today we will continue to revise Time and I know that most of you have the online TJ maths book (if you don’t, please email me and I will sort this for you) therefore I would like you to do:
Teejay 1a textbook: Pg43-46 (This consists of an assessment on pg 46 which you can do tomorrow or at the weekend if you feel it is too much for you to complete today.)
For those of you who feel confident so far, have a go at the following worksheets which ask you to the write the time for o’clock and half past digitally. (Only using 12 hour time for just now)
Remember there is still a SUMDOG competition on until Thursday and we need more of you to play to ensure we qualify and make the leaderboard!

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 gw09grahamannemarie@glow.sch.uk or, with an adult’s permission, upload it on to Twitter @St_BarbarasPS

Good morning Primary 6,
It’s Wednesday, the name Wednesday actually derives from two mighty but distinct pagan gods.
The Old English word for Wednesday indicates that the day was named for the Germanic god Woden or Odin.
In Romance languages, the name is derived from the Roman god Mercury. (For example, Wednesday is Mercredi in French.)
So watch out for ravens today. They are said to be the eyes of Odin and will carry news back to him about your plans and schemes.
Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.
a) £22×10 = 220 £22×2 = 44
£220+£44 = £264
b) £16.75×200 = £3,350 £16.75×50 = £837.50 £16.75×3 = £50.25
£3350+£837.50+£50.25=£4237.75
c) £0.80×20 =£16 £0.80×7 = £5.60
£16+£5.60 = £21.60
d)12,905 ants
e) 4,277 trees left
f) 3,325 miles to go
g) 4,001 fiction books
h) £731 left to save
i) 1,037 miles further
j)226,574 people more
This week we are working on some word problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Calculate the answers to these questions in your jotter.
a) 316,900 people live in Coventry. Warwick has a population of 81,971 and a further 49,500 live in Leamington Spa. How many people live in Coventry Warwick and Leamington Spa altogether?
b) 15,467 people went to Spain for their summer holiday on 12th August 2014. The following day 8,769 people travelled to Spain. How many more people went to Spain on the 12th
c) The diameter of Mars is 6,779 km and the diameter of Earth is 12,742 km. How much bigger than Mars is the Earth?
d) A mother frog laid 20,000 eggs. 1,543 failed to develop into tadpoles. Sadly 2,575 tadpoles were eaten by dragon flies and trout. Another 6,543 met their deaths in various ways over the next year. How many of the eggs grew up to be frogs?
e) I won £2,000,000 in the lottery. I bought a house for £455,500, I bought a Jaguar XK convertible for £103,500. I also went on a luxury cruise that cost £13,900. How much money have I got left?
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
Sumdog are running a special competition for North Lanarkshire schools. We haven’t made the leader board yet because lots of you are on Sumdog but are not answering the competition questions!

This week for spelling we’re looking at words which end in ‘et’.
Look carefully at these words.
Copy them in to your jotter and underlines the one that has a different spelling pattern. The first one has a clue.

1. I have lots of these in my mouth, they help me chew my food.
2. I am white and fluffy and I live in a field.
3. Plant me in soil and I will grow.
4. I am the colour of grass.
5. I am royal and I wear a crown.
I thought that you might like to watch this little clip from Alphablocks.
Now I would like you to read these words to someone in your family.
Practise these words on your whiteboard or into your jotter.
Remember to use our strategy:
Say the word – teeth
Make the word/break the word – t ee th
Blend the word (push it together) – teeth
Read the word 📖 – teeth
Write the word 🖊- teeth
Common words – had, see, has. Choose a fun way to practise your common words. Why not try them in sand if you have some in your garden. Can anyone remember my favourite ways to write my common words? I sent you some pictures a few weeks ago. Maybe you could send me a picture of your favourite fun spelling practise. I’d love to see them.
