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

Your spelling words for this week are:

process, resources, soldier, technique, weight, proposition, Saturday, stationary, texture, women

Today I would like you to organised your words into alphabetical order and then add prefixes or suffixes to make word families.

Example

process – processing, processed, processor, procession, reprocess

After 19 chapters we are now finished, “How to Train your Dragon.”

I’ve assigned you some more books in Scholastic Books. Some are shorter but there is one longer novel that I think that you will enjoy.

I’m also going to give you the option to do some short comprehension exercises. I’m going to post three a day but you can choose to do as many of them as you wish. I’ll post the answers tomorrow.

Blue Light comprehension

Deep Space comprehension

Virtual comprehension

 

May is the month of Mary.

Today let us say the Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

Now lets think about the different situations in which you could provide help to someone.

Read each of these situations and answer showing the ways in which you could help.

a) If someone was feeling lonely, I could….

b) If someone was feeling unwell, I could….

c) If I accidentally deleted half of my work, I could….

d) If I saw someone being badly treated, I could….

e) If I saw an animal in distress, I could….

As it’s Tuesday why don’t we follow the further adventures of, “Mi Vida Loca”

Tuesday 5th May – Primary 5

Good Morning Fun Fives!

I hope that you’re all feeling great this morning and ready to go.

Let’s begin with the morning prayer:

God our Father, as we prepare to begin our day’s 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. Amen.

Health and Wellbeing

Yesterday we had a little bit of Spanish health and wellbeing in the form of a Hula. Today, let’s travel to France for an early morning disco! On y va! (Let’s go!)

 

Literacy

Spelling

Your spelling words are called ‘proper nouns.’ Proper nouns always require capital letters – in this case many of them are place names.

Today’s challenge is to work out the anagrams; I have jumbled up the letters in your spelling words but I have NOT added any capital letters, just to make it trickier for you!

When you work the answers out, please add capital letters.

sumfired        shourt          ebeander        nabo        reslome        loluolpa

sinevsner        wagglos        bredginuh        arrestran      bathrora       ray

Now, check your spelling against yesterday’s list.

Proper Noun Challenge

     

For each of the following common nouns, create a Proper Noun (the first one is done for you):

  1. girl          Julia
  2. boy
  3. car manufacturer
  4. film
  5. snack
  6. song
  7. Scottish castle
  8. loch
  9. dog’s name
  10. restaurant chain
  11.  country in Europe
  12. city in Asia
  13. river in Africa
  14. airport in South America
  15. cartoon character
  16. Pokemon character
  17. English premier league team
  18. language spoken in Switzerland
  19. soft drink
  20. actor/actress

Yesterday you were working on a tourist guide related to one of the towns/cities from your spelling list. Please complete this if you have not already done so.

Maths

Yesterday you were exploring numbers to one million, 1 000 000. Today we are going to work a little more on place value.

Can you find the following:

5-digit-number-place-value

 

The answers will be posted tomorrow. Good luck!

Tuesday 5th May- Primary 7

Good morning Primary 7 🌈,

How did you all get with yesterday’s learning activities?

I hope you are all wide awake and ready to start a new day.

Let’s begin with our morning prayer. Close your eyes and remember in your prayers all of those who have recently died. 🙏🏻

Can you please keep Mrs Haughey and her family in your prayers during this extremely sad time?

As another week of lockdown begins I thought it might be nice to think about all of the things that we are going to do when things get back to normal. Complete the activity below and think about everything you have got to look forward to.

Here is a link to today’s learning activities-

P4/3 Monday 4th May

Good morning boys and girls, I hope you had a lovely weekend.  Let’s start today with our morning prayer and a Hail Mary.  It’s the month of May now and a lovely hymn for the month of May is Bring Flowers of the Rarest.  Why not learn this?

Health & Wellbeing

A good way to start the day.

Go Noodle – Banana, banana, meatball

Have a go at this one, It is so catchy and great for making patterns.  My girls love this one!

Literacy

P3 Phoneme -oe (eg. toe)

Make a list of as many oe words as you can find or think of and write sentences for five of them.  Get an adult to check them for you.

P4 – Common words:  sure, before, never, fruit, believe, decided,

Write each word out three times using your spelling strategies (pyramid writing, bubble writing etc).

The month of May is when we remember Mary.  Mary was the mother of Jesus.  Can you write a paragraph about why your mum or nana is so important to you?   What does she do to make you feel safe/happy/proud?

Draw a picture of your nana/mum and label it “You are special to me because…”  Write all the reasons around the picture.

Numeracy

This week we are going to look at sharing – divison.

Have a look at the following powerpoint to remind you of division.

Division PPT

Here is a worksheet for you to try.

Divison challenge cards

RE

This week’s Gospel was The Good Shepherd, if you didn’t manage to tune in for mass yesterday, have a look at the video below:

Who is the Good Shepherd?

Who are the sheep?

Can you give examples of other people in your life who are like the Good Shepherd?

Remember you have the grid to choose two tasks from.

Have a lovely day and remember to be kind to others and help out when asked.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 19 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

Hiccup and Toothless have just saved everyone from certain death but the tribes believe that Toothless is dead and are giving a great viking funeral to the little dragon. Describe this funeral before it is interrupted by Hiccup, Fishlegs and Horrorcow.

Here is some film that might spark your imagination.

I’ve also assigned you some more books in Scholastic Books. Some are shorter but there is one longer novel that I think that you will enjoy.

May is the month of Mary.

In class we would be making a May Altar in honour of Our Lady. One of the things that we would be putting on our class altar would be flowers. Can you find out which flowers are associated with Our Lady? Perhaps you could try to find or draw some at home that you could use to begin making a May Altar of your own.

As it’s Monday it’s time to get your body moving.

Remember you can still choose another task from your learning grid and there are other tasks on Sumdog, StudyLadder, FirstNews and Scholastic Books.

You can email me any of your work at:

May the fourth be with you!

Monday 4th May – Primary 5

Good Morning, Fearless Fives!

I hope that you have all had a wonderful weekend, that you’ve had breakfast and are ready to begin a brand new week!

Let’s begin with the morning prayer:

God our Father, as we begin our day’s 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. Amen.

Health and Wellbeing

I saw that you were practising some Spanish on Friday. How about a Hula to get us going?

 

 

Learning Grids

The eagle-eyed among you might have spotted that new learning grids have been uploaded today. There are quite a few activities I think that you are going to enjoy.

 

Macavity the Mystery Cat Challenge!

On the last learning grid I set a task based on one of my favourite poems: Macavity the Mystery Cat. I challenged you to write an additional verse. Well, below you will find a super verse written by Rachael:

Macavity, Macavity, he likes to be well-known

He always knew  he would be the cat that had the heart of stone.

You might lose your golden treasure or your fruits like grapes or pears;

But when you start to find them all, Macavity’s not there!

He may give your kids a fright, or even quite a scare

But when the parents come to see, Macavity is not there!

He has been away for weeks now, oh where could he have gone?

But when you become fast asleep – he will be there all along!

 

Fantastic work, Rachael! I really enjoyed reading your work and I think that TS Eliot, the poet would have loved it too!

I’m still waiting for more verses and visualizations. Please email them to me:

ht@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk

Thank you!

Literacy

Spelling Words

This week we are going to focus on place names, specifically those of cities and towns in Scotland.

Edinburgh        Inverness        Melrose        Arbroath       Dumfries        Ullapool

Thurso       Oban        Ayr        Stranraer        Aberdeen        Glasgow

Use the map below to see where each of the towns and cities lies within Scotland.

Literacy Task

Creating a Tourist Guide

Note: this task might take a day or two to complete.

Many people use a Tourist Guide when they visit a new country, city or town. Your task is to select one of the cities or towns from your spelling list and to carry out some research. You are going to write a couple of paragraphs about the city/town giving key information for a tourist visiting Scotland.

You might want to consider the following:

  • Population
  • Landmarks (e.g. museums, galleries, lochs, rivers, mountains etc.)
  • Hotels
  • Restaurants
  • Activities for families
  • Airports/ports/rail transport links
  • Theatres
  • Recreational facilities (e.g. football stadia with tours, leisure centres, visitor centres etc.)

Remember: this is a guide for tourists. You could include some illustrations or maps however it has to be brief and include all of the salient (key) information about your selected town or city (tourists are eager to see the sights – they will not have time to read for a long period of time). I’m looking forward to reading some of your work as I haven’t been to some of those places…perhaps you might persuade me to visit some in the future!

Numeracy

Today we are going to explore numbers to one million – 1 000 000!

Don’t worry if you have not worked on these before – as I said, we’re going ‘to explore!’

Please click on the link below and then switch to ‘slideshow’ as the answers follow the questions! Let’s go Number Detectives!

Monday 4th May

R.E.

Yesterday was Good Shepherd Sunday. We remember that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and that we are just like his sheep. A good shepherd looks after all of his sheep and he always makes sure that he knows exactly where each one is. A good shepherd worries about each and every one of his sheep and he keeps them safe and well.

Yesterday Fr. Campbell told a true story during Mass about a shepherdess who lives on one of the Scottish Islands far north of the Scottish mainland.

She had a flock of sheep and one of these sheep had a little lamb. Nothing unusual about that; however the mother sheep wouldn’t look after the lamb and wouldn’t feed it or care for it. That is unusual.

The shepherdess, a good shepherdess looked after the lamb herself. She fed it and cared for it; she even gave it a name – Norman!

In due course she sold some lambs at auction, including Norman. A while later, she regretted her decision. She traced him all the way to a farm in Aberdeen – hundreds of miles from where she lived.

She travelled all the way to Aberdeen to the farm. There were seven hundred lambs in the field but she recognized Norman. Amazingly, Norman recognized her when she called his name and came running over to her! They both went back to the islands.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He always recognizes each one of us and he always takes care of us. Even when we do something wrong, he welcomes us back with open arms when we say that we’re sorry.

Perhaps you could make a 3D picture of the Good Shepherd. Look at the idea below.

 

Learning Grids

To finish today, please select an activity or two from the home-learning grids. You’ll find them in the home-learning grid section on the right-hand side of the website!

I hope that you all enjoy the rest of your day and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Monday 4th May- Primary 7

Good morning Primary 7 🙂,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are feeling refreshed and ready to go.

Let’s begin our week with the morning prayer. Close your eyes and ask God to continue to keep us safe. 🙏🏻

To help us get moving and grooving this Monday morning I want you to think of songs that cheer you up and make you want to dance. I have attached a worksheet that I would like you to fill in with your top songs that make you smile 😀. When you have completed this task perhaps you could put on a few of the songs and do some dancing before you begin today’s lessons? Can you think of a better way to start your Monday morning?
