Did you have a good sleep last night? I can’t believe it is Friday already, what a busy week! Yesterday I made my google logo, I have put a picture of it in the powerpoint!
Parents if you want to give any feedback on what we are providing please email me. I understand everyone’s home circumstances are different so we are trying to provide activities children can complete with or without adult support.
Have a lovely weekend everyone and I will be back on Wednesday! Stay safe and be kind to your family.
Today is Happy Friday! What makes it even better, is that, it has to be another beautiful sunny day today! Make sure you enjoy it!☀️
Let’s start by saying an Our Father and thanking God for this beautiful weather. I would also like you to say a special prayer to ask God to look after all of those brave NHS workers who are doing such an amazing job right now.🙏🏻 I was out on my doorstep last night clapping with everyone at 8pm to say a great big thank you to them and all of the other amazing key workers. Were you?👏
We know that Friday’s are special in school because if you work hard and try your best, then you get golden time. You have already done a great job this week so far, let’s see if you can try some of today’s tasks and then you can get some golden time this afternoon. 💫
Well done boys and girls for working so hard this week and trying your best. It has been lovely receiving pictures and videos, allowing me to see all of your hard work and getting to see those smiley faces that I am missing so much. You definitely deserve to enjoy some Golden Time! 😁
Parents, thank you. Please do not worry if your child was not able to complete some activities this week. The number one priority right now is that you and your family are safe, healthy and happy. I really appreciate all that you are doing to support your child with their school work.
I hope that you and your family have a lovely weekend.
We have had a busy week full of lots of revision. Before you do anything else give yourself a big pat on the back. You are working so hard and Miss McMullen is very proud of each and every one of you.
Before you begin your work today please take some time to say the morning prayer. Please also say a Hail Mary and Our Father for anyone who is sick at this time.
I had so much fun doing some literacy tasks in the garden that I thought you might want to give some of them a go. To begin today we are going to revise our work on nouns. Can you remember the definition of a noun?
Take a look at our poster to remind you.
Now, if you are able, go outside and try to make some nouns using items from your garden. Take a look at some that I tried in my own garden by clicking the link below.
Now lets revise our spelling words from this week and get our bodies moving at the same time.
Use the poster below and spell out your name. Now challenge yourself and spell out some of this weeks spelling words. Miss McMullen was very much out of breath after this task.
Now we should all be feeling tired so lets relax with some reading. Choose a story to read, this can be one you have at home or an ebook from Oxford Owl. Sit down, chill out and read quietly to yourself. You might choose to do this in your garden or maybe curled up on your couch. Wherever you feel you can relax.
For Numeracy today we are going to bring together some of the concepts we have been working on this week. Please click the link below to access some tasks.
This afternoon, if you are able, go into your garden and try to make up a game to play using things you can find. Click the link below to take a look at my bowling alley using my nieces ball and bottles from my recycle bin. As you will see, I didn’t quite manage a strike.
Please ask an adults permission before using any household items or things from your garden.
Now please do not worry if there are any tasks you cannot manage. Just do what you can and take plenty of breaks. As it is Friday, finish off today by giving yourself some well deserved golden time. If you aren’t able to go outside today try some of the tasks with items you find indoors.
Please keep an eye on Twitter today to find out how you can enter our Road Safety competition.
Have a lovely day and a fantastic weekend. I hope to hear from you all soon.
Let’s work hard to complete some of these before taking our well deserved golden time this afternoon. You have all wowed me with your amazing efforts already this week. I have really enjoyed being back and hearing from you again. You all continue to make me a very proud teacher, keep it up 🙂
Parents, thank you for all your support. You have all been wonderful. I know it can’t be easy and I really appreciate all you are doing at home.
I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing weekend enjoying the sunshine. I am sure it is well deserved.
The weekend is nearly here! You have worked hard this week and should be very proud of yourselves. Thank you to all the parents, you have been doing a great job supporting your children and helping them to get the best out of their learning during these difficult times.
Who enjoyed yesterday’s riddles? Did you manage to work out the answers?
I have included the answers below:
What is full of holes but still holds water? A sponge
What becomes wetter the more it dries? A towel
What belongs to you but others use it more than you? Your name
What goes up but never comes down? Your age
What kind of coat can only be put on when wet? A coat of paint
Here are some brain teasers to get our brains engaged today, I will post the answers to these brain teasers later today.
God Our Father, as we begin our days’ 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.
St Barbara, Pray for us.
Please say a Hail Mary for all those who are sick
I hope that you are all well and looking after yourselves. Mrs Haughey has been telling me how hard you have all been working and it has been a joy to see some of your lovely healthy faces.
Here are your Friday tasks. Please only do what you can manage and don’t worry about not finishing all the tasks.
Numeracy
1. Warm up – describe the number 234202
In case you have forgotten here are some clues about the kind of things you can write:
– it is an even number
– it has 2 units
– the total of the digits =
– it is 5 more than
– it is 5 less than
– to write it in words would be …
Now let me see if you can come up with 10 ways to describe the number. You can use my clues.
2.Table challenge
Hopefully you all still have your table challenge sheets. If you don’t, don’t worry.
If you still have your sheet then continue with the table that you were working on.
If you have a brother or sister they could help to test you, if not you could FaceTime/phone your gran, grandpa, auntie or uncle and involve them. I know mums and dads are sometimes busy working.
If you can’t find your sheet, pick a table you find tricky, learn it and test yourself.
3.Statistics
You will be reading, seeing and hearing a lot about statistics on the television and in the newspapers. (See if you can spot the advert with Professor Jason Leitch and the pictogram of how we stop the spread of Covid-19 by staying at home)
Statistics are when you collect data, organise the data, understand what the data means and then present the data.
For example
If you gather information about how many pets each person in your class has, organise that information into groups and then make a graph out of the information.
Please watch this lesson and complete the questions that follow. We will only be looking at bar graphs today and you don’t need to complete the line graph questions.
Good morning Primary 1 and happy Friday!!😁 What a beautiful day it is again.🌞Let’s begin by saying our morning prayer and an Our Father and thanking God for our beautiful world in Spring.
Literacy
Please practise writing out each initial sound/phoneme as you sing along to our Jolly Phonics songs. You could use a whiteboard or write them into your jotter, just one time for each sound.
Revise the wh phoneme in the same way that you did on Wednesday.
When, what, whip, whisk, whisper any other wh words that you would like to try.
Common words – Practise reading all of your common words from your word box. Can you read the three new words? Well done! Today I would like you to do some rainbow spelling 🌈 Choose 3 colours and write each word with each colour, like this..
If you would prefer, you could use chalk and write them outside.
Dictated sentences – ask your child to try to write one of these sentences into their jotter, read a word at a time slowly for your child to write down. Boys and girls remember out little song 🎶Capital letter at the start, full stop at the end, finger spaces in between and show it to a friend🎶Choose the sentence which best suits your child.
1. I went out to play.
2. What will I do now?
3.I got a new toy.
Reading – Choose your favourite story from home and ask someone in your family to read it to you. Try read the common words that you can from it. Make a list of any of your common words in the story.
Numeracy
Can you tell someone in your family the days of the week? How many days are in a week?
Can you rhyme the months of the year? How many months are in a year?
Can you write down 3 different ways to make 10?
Health & Wellbeing
During this time at home we might be feeling lots of different emotions. Sometimes we might feel happy to be with our families, sometimes we might feel sad when someone does something we don’t like, sometimes we might feel afraid because everything is different. It’s ok to feel all of these things. Can you draw the faces showing how these people feel and talk to someone in your family about how you are feeling today?
Remember that these are only ideas and we know that you may not be able to do them all, everyone has different circumstances. Do what you can do, that’s all that we ask. I hope that you have found some of the tasks useful. If I can help in any way please contact me:

There are more questions like this in your Sumdog challenge this week and in your Studyladder learning pod.
Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 12 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”
Hiccup has gone to speak to The Green Death on his own.
Imagine that you are The Green Death retell the events of the conversation between yourself and Hiccup. Try to write it in the style that we used when writing about being inside The Trojan Horse.
Think about how giant and ancient The Green Death is. Hiccup is no threat to you but something happens in the conversation that makes you take him seriously. Try to describe what is going on inside The Green Death’s mind as you talk together.
In case you missed it we have some new reading materials for you to work on. Your parents should have received a username and password for Scholastic Books. Follow this link,
to find a new reading book and quiz for you to complete in your jotter.
Remember Monday’s pack of cards workout? Why not try it again today but this time choose your own exercises for each suit.
Hearts
Clubs
Diamonds
Spades
It’s 10 minutes on the timer and you must do the exercise the number of times on the card. Aces are 1, other face cards are 13.
Today is St. George’s Day. There are many stories associated with St. George but the most famous one concerns a dragon. Find out what happened and retell the story in your own words. St George is the patron saint of England, can you discover why?
Let’s begin our day with your morning prayer. Say a Hail Mary and Our Father, remembering all the people that are sick in hospital.
I have set you some Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Well-being tasks to try throughout the day. Remember you can do them in any order and try your best to do as much as you can.
Literacy
Let’s begin with a little challenge. Remember our blue jotters from class. You can use your home learning jotter for this. Write the word:-
BREAKFAST
See how many words you can make from it. Remember our rules: each word must have 2 or more letters, no proper nouns and you can only use the letters from the word. Off you go!! How many words did you make? What was your longest word?
Continue to practise your 3,4,5 and 6 times table. Have you played stepping stones? Let’s start with the 3 times table. Lay out numbers from 0-12 on the floor or in the garden (if it’s not too windy), then as you step on the number you multiply it by 3 in your head and call out the answer, move to the next number and repeat, all the way to the last number. Now do the four times table. Time yourself and make a grid in your jotter to keep a record of your progress. How quickly can you do it?
Challenge yourself – jumble up the numbers on the ground so that they are not in order, it’s more tricky.
I have also set a challenge on Sumdog. It will start today and finish tomorrow. Good luck!
Health and Well-being
Follow this link for a new little challenge to keep you active today. HWB
Boys and girls I hope you have a lovely day and that this nice dry weather keeps up. Remember to drink plenty of water and to have your breaks throughout the day. Be good and remember to help around the house. If you need extra work remember you have your grid!! Please send me in some pictures of your work to my email address gwboyceshirley2@glow.sch.uk or SBoyce@st–barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk or you can get an adult to post them on Twitter.
