• Good morning primary 3,

I hope you had a nice day yesterday.

From all of the pictures I have seen it is clear you are all working very hard.

Keep it up!

Some of you were in touch yesterday to confirm you were using the correct spelling words. I will send an email to everyone else today to ensure you are using the correct list.

Literacy

Spelling:

Please write a phoneme story for your new sound. Lets see who can include the most words.

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 gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk  or, with an adult’s permission, upload them on to Twitter @St_BarbarasPS and to Pope Francis’ Twitter @Pontifex

Good morning Primary 7,

How did you get on with yesterday’s tasks? Remember to send me any work that you have completed and I can have a little look at it.

To begin our day we will say the 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.

Common Words

You have 3 new common words to learn today children.  They are;

had

see

has

The first two words are quite easy boys and girls because you can sound them out, they look exactly the way they sound!  When we say the word ‘has’, the ‘s’ sounds like a ‘z’ so we can’t sound out this word.  We need to remember it is h-a-s.

So, write each word out 3 times.  Now write a sentence with each word. Finally, copy these sentences down and put in the missing word.

1. There is your mum, can you ——— her?
2. When my dad was little he ———- a toy aeroplane.
3. My friend ——— a trampoline in his garden.

If you have time you can make some rainbow words or pasta words or just use your magnetic letters to make the words again.

Boys and girls, I have copied a link to a lovely book that I thought you would enjoy.  It is an audio book so you can listen to the story and read along where you can.

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/the-old-toy-room-ebook-t-or-1122

You can tell your mum and dad all about the story now.  Remember, what happened at the beginning, what happened in the middle and what happened at the end of the story.

Today we are going to remind ourselves about symmetry.  If something is symmetrical it is exactly the same on both sides.  Like these pictures below.

Now I would like you to make this butterfly symmetrical! Remember to make the 2 sides exactly the same!

Now lets carry on practising our addition and subtraction.

Here is a game to help you practise your adding skills.

Good morning, boys and girls.  I hope you had a lovely weekend and are all ready to start this weeks activities.

R.E.

We will start today by saying 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 that you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together at school.  St Barbara Pray for us.🙏

Yesterday was the sixth Sunday of Easter. In the Gospel, Jesus said that if you love him, you will keep his commandments.

Commandments are rules. However God’s rules are all about love – about loving God and each other. If we love someone, we try our very best to show that by being polite, kind, generous and happy when we talk to them or about them to others.

You have rules at home and we have rules at school. Just like the Ten Commandments, our rules are all about looking after each other and doing the best for each other so that we can all be happy together at home or in school.

Sometimes we break the rules – adults as well as children. If we break God’s rules, we call that sin. Don’t worry though, we can make it better.

Just like at home or in school, if we are sorry and say that to the person we have hurt – and try our best not to do it again – God will forgive us because he loves each one of us so much.

We can read about the Ten Commandments which were given to Moses in the Old Testament which is the first section of the Bible.

You can see them here. Read them or ask an adult for help then speak to someone in your family about them.

In the New Testament, (the second section of the Bible), Jesus spoke about love all the time. In fact, he made a ‘New Commandment.’

He asked us all to, ‘Love one another as I have loved you.’

If you think about it – we all love ourselves and look after ourselves.

Jesus is saying simply that we should love everyone else as much as we love ourselves. If we all did that, the world would be a much happier place! In fact, if we all did that then we would be following the Ten Commandments without even realizing it!

At Easter, Pope Francis told us that we should love and care for each other, ‘No ifs, no buts!’

Today, let’s think about how we love each other, our family and our friends.

I would like you to choose one of the following activities. You can download and print a picture or you can make one of your own. When you have finished it, place it somewhere where all of the family can see it to remind yourselves of how just much you love and care for each other.

Please email your pictures to gw14connollymary@glow.sch.uk or, with an adult’s permission, upload them on to Twitter.

Your new phoneme sound this week is ‘ee’

Here are some ‘ee’ words for you to learn.

seed

deep

feet

meet

sheep

First of all, I would like you to read the words to your mum or dad.  Remember to sound out the words – e.g.      s  ee  d      =     seed.

Now, write each word 3 times using  look, say, cover, write and check.

Now, can you write a sentence with each word. Remember to put a capital letter at the start of the sentence, a full stop at the end and finger spaces between your words!

Healthy Snack Day!

We’re heading towards our Virtual Sports’ Day next Tuesday and what better way to prepare than to think about healthy snacks for the day.

They don’t need to be fancy, just healthy and tasty.

Have a look at some of these:

Try to create a healthy snack of your own. What ingredients might you need?

Cooking Skills for Learning, Life and Work!

Depending on your age, you could practise some of these skills  as you prepare your snack. You might need to ask an adult for help.

You will be using skills that will be with you for the rest of your life. These skills are progressive. That means that if you haven’t peeled or sliced ingredients before (see the Primary 1 list) you will need to practise these before you move on to the next list!

Remember to wash your hands before you begin!

Once you have made your snack, take a picture before you eat it and share it with all of us!

You can email your picture to GW14connollymary@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission. Happy Healthy Snack Day!

Number

Boys and girls, Remember to log in to SUMDOG today if you can, lots of your friends at school are taking part in a competition – why don’t you get involved too!

Today, we are going to do some shape revision.  Can you count the corners and sides and put in the answers?

Now some addition.  Remember, when we add 2 numbers together we get a bigger number.

Now, do the take-away sums and colour in the picture!

I know there are lots of things for you to do today, boys and girls.  But remember, you only have to do what you can manage.  You don’t have to complete everything.

I hope you have a great day. Take care,

Mrs Connolly.
