Good morning to all my wonderful pupils!!  How are you?  Yesterday should have been our P4 Holy Communion Day, I hope you all managed to see the video we put up for you.  I was so pleased to see all your wee faces and some of you have really grown!  We will start with our morning prayer and a special Hail Mary for our P4’s.  When your day comes P4, it will be special and hopefully a bit sunnier 😉

Literacy

P3 phoneme is ough (thought), make a list of as many ough words you can.  Remember to use a coloured pencil to highlight the phoneme in the word.

P4 phoneme is “ow”.   This can be written in two forms, ou and ow like ground and crowd.  Make a list of words with this sound. Remember to use a different colour to highlight the phoneme.

P3 and 4 – Choose 3 of these words and write them out in your jotter 3 times and write a sentence for each.  Remember to make your sentences longer by using conjunction words such as and, but, however.

Next, write some news for me.  I would like to read all your news.  What have you been doing? How are you feeling?  I am looking for neat handwriting, good punctuation and paragraphs.

Maths

Today, we are going to revise telling the time.  Below there are two powerpoints to refresh your memory.  The first one is revising o’clock and the second, half past.  Have a go at the worksheets too.

Telling Time – o’clock

Time – Half Past

Time Worksheet

Remember we have a Sumdog competition on too.  Go on and let’s try to be the best class!!  It closes 21st May.

Our Shining Stars

A very big well done to both Rory and Jenna.  👏👏👏. Keep them coming!!

R.E.

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 and home and we have rules in 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 chat to someone in your family about them.

In the New Testament (the second section of the Bible), Jesus spoke about love all of 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.

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 delicious.

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 upon 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!

At Early Level Primary 1	First Level Primary 2- Primary 4	Second Level Primary 5 – Primary 7
o    Peeling o    Slicing o    Mixing o     Spreading	o    Washing ingredients o    Peeling o    Cutting o    Juicing o    Grating	o    Weighing o    Measuring o    Kneading o    Chopping o    Baking o    Grilling

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 gw09grahamannemarie@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.  Happy Healthy Snack Day!l

Have a lovely day!

For example: £5 + £2 + £2 + £1

In your jotter, list the other 9 ways.

4. How many ways are there of paying a bill of £20 using note and/or £1 and £2 coins?

Good morning my super sevens ,

Did you have a nice weekend? I spent the weekend reading a book, going a nice walk and relaxing. Getting out a walk and breathing in the fresh air helps me feel relaxed at the moment. What are you doing to relax during lockdown?

Let us begin our week by saying our morning prayer. Close your eyes and say the special prayer to our Guardian Angel to keep us safe and protected.

We are going to wake our brains up this morning by trying this little brain teaser. Can you say the colour and not the word? It’s a lot harder to do than you think. Took me a few attempts to get it right.

🏆 IT’S SUMDOG COMPETITION TIME AGAIN!! 🏆

GOOD MORNING PRIMARY 4/3

Happy Friday everyone.  Thank you to everyone that got in touch with me from their Glow accounts.  Well done!! 👏👏

Let’s start the day with our morning prayer 🙏.  We could also say a Hail Mary remembering anyone who needs a little prayer.

Numeracy🔢💻🏆

Today we are going to use our Numeracy time to start the Sumdog competition.  Remember that we are competing against all of the schools in North Lanarkshire .  So far there are 854 classes entered and during the last competition back in February/March we finished 21st!! Wow!! Let’s see if this time we can be even higher.

The rules of the competition are:

• 10 people need to play from your class to qualify, we need you all playing boys and girls.
• you have until next Thursday at 8.00 pm to answer all of your questions

Remember there are 1000 questions, take your time, read your questions carefully and we will be well on our way to improving our class position.  We might even finish highest in the school!!  Watch out Primary 7 we are after your top spot from last time, when you finished an amazing 10th!!  👏👏  So here goes boys and girls, your best is all that we ask. 👍

Literacy📝

Test yourself on your common words.  Remember to think of all the strategies we know to help us spell challenging words.  How did you do?

Today we are going to use our novels for our work. 📚

I would like you to take your favourite book that you have read over Lockdown.  I want you to imagine that no one has read this book – it is just about to be published.  When a new book is going to be launched the people that print the book use a variety of ways to publicise it.  You want to tell everyone about this new amazing book that is about to be launched.  Will you design a poster, record a TV ad,  write a news paper article; record a news report.  You decide!!

Include

• the title
• the author
• fiction/non-fiction
• the story line, not giving too much away, you want people to buy your book
• the launch date etc

Good luck everyone, I wonder who will persuade me to read their book!!

Health and Well-being 🚴‍♀️🕺🤾🏼‍♂️

I hope that you are remember to exercise every day.  Here’s a little activity to keep you active on your daily walk.

Art  🎨 

Here is a little art activity that you might like to use as you finish off your day.  It gives you great ideas to help you draw.

Boys and girls, you have been superstars all week and I have seen some fantastic work.  ⭐️🏆Remember these activities are a guide and you should try your best to do what you can.  You can also choose an activity from your grid.

A great big thank you to your parents for helping us out so much with your home learning.  Take care and have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Graham will be back with you on Monday.

Take care and stay safe everyone.
