Primary 1a 28/4/2020

Good morning, boys and girls. I hope you are all well and keeping busy.

How did you get on with your tasks yesterday? Hopefully you managed to get some of them finished.

Today, we are going to start with some exercises to waken you up!  I thought that you would enjoy another yoga session.  Today, you are going to watch and follow a programme of your choice.  Here is the link:

Remember to have some water handy.  You need to keep your body hydrated during and after exercise.

https://www.cosmickids.com/category/watch/?duration=long&changed=duration

Now that you are all wide awake, let’s get on with our literacy work.

Phonics

Our common words today are words that you already know! However, I need you to practise them so that you are an expert at writing these words.  They are:

this

that

then

with

us

so

much

of

us

now

new

out

So there are 12 words for you to practise today.

First of all I want you to write each word 3 times – just the way we do it in class!

Now, I would like you to write out each word in CAPITAL LETTERS!

Like this – THIS, THAT, THEN etc.

Great!  Now, let’s see if you can read these sentences, copy them down and put in the missing words.  Each missing word is one of the common words  we are practising today.

  1. I went to the shop ——– my mum and dad.
  2. I got a ———- toy for my birthday.
  3. There is too ——- water in that cup.
  4. I am going to the shop ——- I am going to the park.
  5. Do you want to come ——– to play with me.

How did you get on with your reading tasks yesterday? Did you manage to find lots of common words in your book ?

Today you can pick another new book.

Look at the title and the picture on the front cover of the book and see if you can tell what the book is going to be about.

Tell your mum or dad what an author does.

Now tell them what an illustrator does.

I hope you can remember! If not, they can remind you.

Now I would like you to read your book 2 or 3 times.  Remember to sound out tricky words and look at the pictures to help you.

Now, can you think of a ‘who’ question about your book?

Can you think of a ‘what’ question about your book?

Can you think of a ‘where’ question about your book?

Ask your mum or dad these questions and see if they know the answers.

You can draw a picture of your favourite character and write about what they are doing.

Time for some number work.

See the source imageBegin today again by counting and clapping to 30.

Now, count and clap from 30 to 0.

Remember to do your days, months and seasons.

We are going to do some counting and matching today so get your thinking caps on!

Now, some addition.  This is a space invader game so you need to be quick!

R.E

Boys and girls, here is a beautiful book for you to enjoy.  When you click on the pages the book will read to you so you don’t need to read it by yourselves.

It is all about the seasons because that’s what we are learning about just now.

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/serens-seasons-ebook-t-e-1000

When we are looking at our world, it is important to remember that all the beautiful things that grow and live in our world are gifts from God.  We need to remember that God loves all of the animals, birds, fish, plants and flowers very much.  It is very important that we look after them and do everything we can to protect them.  We should be thankful for them every day.

Here is a link to one of your favourite bible stories – The Story of Creation.  I know you will enjoy it!

I hope you have a great day boys and girls.  Remember; only do what you can manage!

Take care,

Mrs Connolly.

Good Morning Primary 3,

I hope you all had a nice and relaxing weekend.

Let’s start off our week by saying the morning prayer and asking God to look after anyone who is sick at this time.

Please click the links below to access some literacy and numeracy work for today.

Literacy – 27th April

Numeracy – Monday 27th April

Estimation Activity

Estimation Challenge

Estimation Game

Last Monday and before the holidays we had a look at some spring artwork. When I was on my walk yesterday I noticed lots of daffodils. These are my favourite flower as I think they are so beautiful. This afternoon I would like you to have a go at drawing some daffodils using the video instructions. This is just the same as the drawing guide we have used before. Remember to pause the video after each step to give yourself enough time.

Finish off your day with some exercise. I think I will try a Joe Wicks video this afternoon. You should do the same. It is so important to stay active during this time.

Have a lovely day Primary 3 and I look forward to seeing some examples of your work.

Take care!

P4/3 Monday 27th April

Good morning boys and girls. Let’s start with our morning prayer and a Hail Mary for all those who are sick or in need of a prayer.

I hope you had a lovely weekend, the weather was glorious.  My girls had their paddling pool out and we had such a lovely time.  I would like to read how you spent your weekend.  Write me a few sentences/short paragraph about your weekend.

Literacy

P3 Common words:

begin, follow, often, letter, woman

P4 Common words:

seven, seventeen, clothes, garden, yesterday

How can you break up these words?  Syllables? words within words? double letters?

Use your spelling strategies to practise the spelling of these words.  Use pyramid writing, rainbow spelling or flower writing.

Write a sentence for each word.

Read a chapter of your book.  Choose a character and write a character profile for him/her.  Draw a picture of this character.

Numeracy

Mental Maths  – use this link to complete a daily ten challenge of mental maths activities.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

We will continue with place value, using resources available to you can you show me bundles of tens and ones.  For example in the number 34, there are 3 tens and 4 units.  Therefore show 3 bundles of ten and 4 ones. You can use spaghetti, pencils, cubes etc.

I would like you to be able to specify how many hundreds and tens and units are in a number. I have attached a worksheet for you to do,  I expect most of you to be able to state the tens and units, P4, I would expect you to be able to state the hundreds, tens and units in the numbers.

Place value 3 digits 2

Health & Wellbeing

Let’s think about our growth mindset.  Write a list of five things you are good at. Eg, football, dancing, singing etc.  Now, write a list of five qualities you have,  For example, what kind of person are you?  Are you caring, loyal, patient, loving, funny?  What makes you YOU?  Now, ask a parent/adult to write five qualities that you have.  Do they match?   How does this make you feel?  Self talk is very important to us.  It is not boasting or bragging if we say we are good at something.  It is important to have a healthy relationship with ourselves.  If we believe in ourselves and have healthy self respect then we have more to give other people. You are a kinder person if you love yourself first.

I would like you to practise positive self talk. Design a poster with the words “I am …”  Fill in the gaps.  Maybe it’s funny, caring, kind, loving, a good friend.  Hang this poster somewhere you can see it every day.  Seeing this will encourage you to be kind to yourself and talk to yourself in a positive way.

Have a great day everyone!

Mrs G 🙂

Primary 6 – Monday 27th April

Good morning Primary 6,

I hope that you had a lovely weekend and had the chance to enjoy the good weather.

Your spelling words for this week are words which contain “ow.”

arrow

narrow

sparrow

yellow

elbow

pillow

window

follow

hollow

borrow

sorrow

shadow

shallow

Copy them into your jotter and then practice them any way you choose.

Your spelling words, and some words from their word families, are also waiting for you on Sumdog.

Speaking of Sumdog, you have a Place Value Challenge starting today and there is some support work in the Grammar section to help you with your spelling too.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 14 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

Hiccup reveals his, “fiendishly clever plan.” After listening to the chapter try to break Hiccup’s plan into steps. You can number each step and draw a simple image to show what is happening.

Example,

Step 1: Steal feathers from the nesting birds.

Step 2: Steal every item of material that we can find.

Step 3: …..

And so on. Try not to include TOO much detail if you draw Baggybum’s hairy knickers.

You can send me your work at

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

I’ve also assigned you two new short books on Scholastic that you can read this week with quizzes about your reading.

You should also have received your GLOW log ins and passwords which means that you can use your own email address. If you didn’t get your log in, let me know and I’ll send it out to you.

Let’s start the week with some movement to get your body working again.

I heard a story about someone who set this workout to double speed so that they could do it in 10 minutes, but they burst.

 

After the Resurrection on Easter Sunday Jesus appeared to many people. One of those appearances is described in Luke’s Gospel.

Luke 24:13-35 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

On the Road to Emmaus

13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were going to a town named Emmaus. It is about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking about everything that had happened. 15 While they were discussing these things, Jesus himself came near and began walking with them. 16 (They were not allowed to recognise Jesus.) 17 Then he said, “What are these things you are talking about while you walk?”

The two followers stopped. Their faces were very sad. 18 The one named Cleopas answered, “You must be the only one in Jerusalem who does not know what just happened there.”

19 Jesus said to them, “What are you talking about?”

The followers said, “It is about Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet from God to all the people. He said and did many powerful things. 20 Our leaders and the leading priests gave him up to be judged and killed. They nailed him to a cross. 21 But we were hoping that he would free the Jews. It is now the third day since this happened. 22 And today some women among us told us some amazing things. Early this morning they went to the tomb, 23 but they did not find his body there. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels. The angels said that Jesus was alive! 24 So some of our group went to the tomb, too. They found it just as the women said, but they did not see Jesus.”

25 Then Jesus said to them, “You are foolish and slow to realise what is true. You should believe everything the prophets said. 26 They said that the Christ must suffer these things before he enters his glory.” 27 Then Jesus began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures. He started with Moses, and then he talked about what all the prophets had said about him.

28 They came near the town of Emmaus, and Jesus acted as if he did not plan to stop there. 29 But they begged him, “Stay with us. It is late; it is almost night.” So he went in to stay with them.

30 Jesus sat down with them and took some bread. He gave thanks for the food and divided it. Then he gave it to them. 31 And then, they were allowed to recognise Jesus. But when they saw who he was, he disappeared. 32 They said to each other, “When Jesus talked to us on the road, it felt like a fire burning in us. It was exciting when he explained the true meaning of the Scriptures.”

33 So the two followers got up at once and went back to Jerusalem. There they found the 11 apostles and others gathered. 34 They were saying, “The Lord really has risen from death! He showed himself to Simon.”

35 Then the two followers told what had happened on the road. They talked about how they recognised Jesus when he divided the bread.

 

Imagine that you were one of those followers of Jesus that he appeared to on the road to Emmaus. Write about your experience that day and how it changed you.

Monday 27th April- Primary 7

Hello Primary 7,

It’s Monday again which means it’s time to get back to work. I hope you are all ready to learn.

Let’s begin our week by saying a special prayer to our Guardian Angel to continue to protect us and keep us safe,

Angel of God, my Guardian dear,
To whom God’s love commits me here;
Ever this day, be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide.

Amen

Here is a link for today’s learning activities-

Monday 27th April

Remember there is no right or wrong way to work when learning at home. Learning takes place in a variety of ways and I know lots of you have been working on developing your life skills which is so important and extremely beneficial in a time like this. Some of you have been painting, cooking, cleaning and helping out with younger siblings, I am very impressed. Keep up the good work! ❣️

I know how much you all love a competition, so why not take part in our road safety competition? Have a little look on St Barbara’s Twitter page to find out more details.

Have a marvellous Monday and remember if you need me for anything please do not hesitate to contact me.
