So that we may fully benefit from out day together. Amen.

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:

1. coroner   2. count   3. increase   4. inadequate   5. copper   6. correspond   7. incident

Now try these:

1. 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?

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!

Good morning boys and girls, it’s Wednesday again, you are half way through your week already! You have all been working so hard, well done, I am proud of you 🌟Let’s begin our day 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 our day together. St Barbara pray for us.🙏

Literacy – I know that you have all been busy bees 🐝 working very hard and have learned a new sound. Can you remember what your new phoneme is? That’s correct “ee”. How many “ee” words can you remember? I’m going to give you some clues, can you shout out the answers?
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.

T-CR-9820-ee-words_ver_1

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.

Reading – I have assigned you a new book to read on scholastic. I hope that you are enjoying your books. You have been doing so well!

Maths – *SUMDOG* Well done to all the boys and girls who have joined in with the Sumdog competition so far, you are amazing! We only need one more of you to join in and we will make it onto the leader board! Keep working hard P1a, tell your friends too. The more answers you get correct, the more points you get.

Let’s see how many 3D shapes you can remember.

Hello Primary 7 ,

I hope you are all up, had breakfast and ready to start your day.

We will begin the day with our morning prayer. Before we start today’s tasks I thought it might be nice to say a decade of The Rosary to continue honouring Mary during the month of May. On a Wednesday we celebrate the ‘Glorious Mysteries’. Today we will explore the third ‘Glorious Mystery’, The Descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-41).

Why not try this little brain teaser to get your brain wakened up?

Good morning everyone.  The weather wasn’t so good yesterday, hopefully it will be a bit drier today and you can spend some time outside.

Morning prayer and an Our Father today.

Literacy

Revise your phonemes and add anymore words to your list.  In class, we normally look at a phoneme story.  Can you make up your own using as many of the phonemes as possible?  Make sure to highlight the phonemes throughout.

This week is Mental Health Awareness week with a focus on kindness.  In class, months before the virus, we wrote “postcards of kindness” do you remember?  I would like you to design and write a message on a postcard and give it to someone in your house or (if you are allowed) post it to someone, a friend or family member.  Being kind not only brightens up someone else’s day, but it makes you feel good about being that kind person.  There are many lonely people out there just now or people who are feeling sad, you can help them just a little by doing that.

Numeracy

Yesterday we revised time – o’clock and half past.  Today we will revise quarter to and past.

RE

Yesterday we were looking at the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ message to,

‘Love one another as I have loved you.’

I asked you to think about your families and how much you love them. I also reminded you that Pope Francis has told us all to care for others, ‘No ifs, no buts!’

Today I would like to think about the people living in the same house as you; there might be two of you, there might be six of you! It doesn’t matter. Now I would like you to think of FIVE little things that you could do this week for those in your home. It could be that you set the table, make your bed, clear up after a meal, make someone a cup of tea or even take the vacuum cleaner for a walk!

When you have selected five things, draw some heart shapes and inside each, draw or write your tasks. You can make some extra hearts for decoration. Colour or decorate them carefully. Next make a circle wreath-shape like the picture below or if you have a paper plate, use that. Attach your heart shapes and display your Caring Wreath somewhere you can see it easily. Carry out your tasks this week and show that you care – no ifs, no buts!

 

Please email your Caring Wreath to gw09grahamannemarie@glow.sch.uk  or, with an adult’s permission, upload them on to Twitter @St_BarbarasPS and to Pope Francis’ Twitter @Pontifex
