Good morning boys and girls😀

I hope that you are all well and enjoyed your weekend.🌟

I had a quiz on zoom with all of my family members on Friday night. It was lots of fun and it was a beach theme! I miss not being able to go and visit them but it was great to see their funny faces on the television and have a little chat! 📺

I am missing you all too but just now you are keeping me smiling with all of your amazing work and photographs! You are all doing so well with home learning❣

We will begin our day by saying a Hail Mary. I would like you to pray especially for Mrs Haughey and all of her family today.🙏🏻

Here is today’s overview:

Good morning everyone, I hope you are well and are looking forward to the day ahead. Have you brushed your teeth and made your bed?

Let’s start with our morning prayer and today we will say a special Hail Mary and the Eternal rest prayer for all those who have died recently.

Eternal rest, grant unto them O’Lord

And let perpetual light shine upon them,

May they rest in peace,

Amen.

RE

As it is the month of May, we would be organising and creating an altar in class.  We would have a statue of Our Lady and lovely pictures of Mary and some beautiful flowers.  Below is a little art activity for you to have a go at making your own flowers, there are lots of good ideas on this website. My girls and I did some of these yesterday and they were good fun. However, if you would rather draw or paint some flowers then that is fine also.

Flower Crafts for Kids

It would also be nice if you could say a Hail Mary every night before bedtime during the month of May.

Literacy

Yesterday, I gave P3 their phoneme for this week and the P4’s got some common words.

P3 – If you have play doh, why not spell out the phoneme words using the play doh.  Use one colour for “oe” and add the surrounding letters.  If you don’t have any play doh, can you use something else around the house? Eg spaghetti, buttons, pipe cleaners

• If none of the above, you can paint or draw the words.

P4 – Write a sentence for each of your common words.  Underline your common word.  Use your spelling strategies to help you spell them. Eg. How many syllables does it have?

Using the reading book you chose last week, write a summary of your book so far. I’d like to know what your reading.

• What’s the title and who is the author?
• Where and when is it set?
• Who are the main characters?
• What’s happening?

What do you think might happen next?

Numeracy

When we are doing division, we need to make sure that we are confident with our times tables.  Remember that division is the inverse of multiplication.

In this short video you will see that knowing her times tables helps the superhero find out the answer quickly.  Have a look:

Carrying on with division, here is a game about sharing.

https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/doggyDivision/index.html

This next game is on a timer and it is good fun.  When you click the link, input the times table from 1-6 and go!

Have a great day boys and girls, the weather is going to be nice for the next few days, so make sure you get out for some fresh air if you can.  Why not design an obstacle course for PE? I know you all enjoyed when we got the apparatus out in the gym hall last term.

Miss you all very much.

Mrs Graham 🙂

 

 

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!

Grid Activities

For your last challenge today, please select one or two activities from the new grid (or from the old one if there is something you prefer).

After that you are finished for the day. I hope that you have a relaxing evening and I’ll see you tomorrow!

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-

Tuesday 5th May

These are some of the resources you need to help you complete today’s tasks-

Good morning everyone.

I hope that you all remain safe and well. Please see a reminder for planning and tasks this week as a result of staff working in the HUB.

 

Chryston HUB; Public Holidays and INSET Day

Parents, this week is a little different for everyone as many of our staff will be working in Chryston HUB. On the days they are working in the HUB, staff will not be uploading work for children.  However, new home-learning grids have been uploaded and children can select tasks from these.

The timetable below indicates the days when work will not be uploaded for specific classes:

Monday 4th May: Primary 1 (Miss McEleney) and Primary 3

Tuesday 5th May: Primary 1 (Mrs Connolly/Mrs MacLeod) and Primary 2

Wednesday 6th May: Primary 1 (Miss McEleney) and Primary 2

Thursday 7th May: Primary 3

Friday 8th May is a public holiday consequently tasks will not be uploaded for any of the classes.

Monday 11th May is an INSET day for staff. Again tasks will not be uploaded for any of the classes.

Home-Learning Grids

New grids have been uploaded onto the Home-Learning Section on the website.

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.

Division by Sharing

If you are feeling confident, try 3 or 4 of these 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.

Mrs Graham

 

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.
