Good afternoon my super sevens 🌟,

I hope you have all tried to complete today’s tasks, remember to post any pictures you have taken on Twitter.

I would like to congratulate Connor Ward for winning this weeks Sum Dog competition. This was a tricky competition and you smashed it. Well done, you should be extremely proud of yourself! I will be posting lots more maths competitions in the coming weeks. Let’s see who can beat our reigning champion, Connor 🏆.

I would like to wish you all a very happy and holy Easter break. I know this school holiday will be extremely different from previous holidays but it is important that we make the most of them by spending time with our family, get outside when possible and do lots of fun activities to keep us busy. Try not to spend too much time on computer games etc. Here are pictures of some Easter craft ideas.

Let us take a moment to remember the true meaning of Easter. Easter is a time when we remember that Jesus died for our sins. In the week leading up to Easter Sunday we celebrate Holy Week. During this week we prepare for the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Try to spend time each day of Holy Week saying a special little prayer. I have attached a PowerPoint that explains a bit about each day of Holy Week and why it is important.

Holy Week

Don’t eat too many chocolate eggs and please remember to stay safe. Speak to you all soon.

Good Afternoon Primary 6,

There will be no official blog posts by teachers over the Easter break but I didn’t want to leave you wondering what the nine letter word from this morning’s challenge was.

Y  R  E  A  T  I  N  T  C

CERTAINTY

Did you get it? I thought that it was a CERTAINTY that you would.

Did you see what I did there? I used the word that WAS the answer in a sentence ABOUT the answer. It’s that kind of clever wordplay that made White Haired Teacher Magazine call me, “A teacher at St. Barbara’s Primary School” and you can’t get better than that.

Stay safe and have fun over the holiday. If you accidentally learn something try not to get too upset, sometimes brains do that.

Mr. McIntosh

Good afternoon boys and girls☺️

Well done to all of the children who managed to take part in this week’s Sumdog Maths competition. You have all worked very hard and tried your very best. The leader board was very close but we have a winner.

The winner of our maths competition is Matthew. 👏👏👏👏👏
Well done Matthew. You have been crowned our MATHS CHAMPION this week! 👑🥇

         

Today we stop for our Easter break and I would just like to tell you how proud I am of each and every one of you. Learning has been very been different these past two weeks and I know how much you must be missing your friends. I am missing you all lots! You have all been working so hard and I have loved hearing about all the amazing things you have been doing at home. Well done everyone! You definitely deserve a break!

Thank you to all parents for your help over the last two weeks. You have all been wonderful. I know it can’t be easy and I really appreciate your support and patience as we begin a new way of learning.

I know your Easter break will be quite different this year boys and girls, as you will be spending most of your time at home but I hope you have lots of fun and enjoy spending time with your families. Remember to be kind and helpful around the house, stay safe and keep smiling! I hope the Easter bunny pays you a visit and you get to eat lots of chocolate eggs! 🐰 🥚 🍫

I hope you all have a lovely break. Wishing you and your families a very happy and holy Easter.

Take care,
Miss McEleney 🥰

Here are some super fun science experiments that you might like to try. Please ask a parent to help with experiment 2. Mrs Haughey

Fun science activities

 

Good morning Primary 5,

I hope that you are all well and looking after yourselves. Mrs Haughey has been telling me how busy you have been.

Continue working on your coordinates. Here is a link to the maths game that we didn’t get time to play in class.

https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/click-coordinate.html
Remember
*the horizontal axis (the “along axis) is called the x-axis
*the vertical axis (the “up” axis) is called the y-axis

Pictures can be drawn using coordinates.
If you have squared paper here is one to try:
Make a coordinate grid (Cartesian coordinate grid)
Remember to plot the points in order and join them up as you move from one point to the next.

Highest x-coordinate 15
Highest y-coordinate 10
(2,4)(2,1)(7,1)(13,4)(13,7)(7,4)(2,4)(8,7)(13,7)Stop
(7,1)(7,4)Stop
You could try to make your own picture and test the coordinates on a family member.

I hope that you have remembered all of the information that we have learned about cleanliness, hygiene and safety in the kitchen. This is a link to a game where you can test your skills.

In Spanish we have been learning about food and drink. This is a link to the video we have watched. There are some activities attached to it which you could try, but you don’t have to. Practise your Spanish with food in your kitchen, like the girl in the video.

Sunday is Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week.
This link will let you see how they celebrate Holy Week in Spain.

I think that you have deserve Golden Time today 🥇

During the Easter holiday there will be no official blogs from teachers. However, you can still keep busy with the many of activities that have been suggested over the last few weeks.

We wish you a relaxing break.

Stay safe🌈
! Feliz Pascua !🐣 Mrs Goodwin

Good Morning Primary 3,

Happy Friday! Today is usually when we do our spelling test. As we are revising phoneme sounds and common words that we have already learned, I would like you to choose one week from the list and test yourself. You may want to write them down or spell them out loud. This is a good way to know which words we need to have another look at. If you haven’t got your spelling list yet please get in touch. (mcmullenke@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk)

It looks like it’s going to be a lovely day so try and get some fresh air and a bit of exercise today.

At 11:00am a Sumdog maths challenge is going to begin.  This will run until 3:00pm and I will announce the winner. Good luck!

Over the next 2 weeks try and have a well deserved rest. You have all been working extremely hard. I know it isn’t the kind of holiday we are used to but let’s try and make the most of spending some time at home with our family. I am planning to read a new book and go for some nice walks. I look forward to hearing what you get up to.

Keep checking the blog over the holiday as Mrs McKinney is going to be uploading some Easter activities for you to have a look at.

I’m wishing you all a safe, happy and holy Easter and I will speak to you all very soon.

Good morning Primary 7,

It is Friday again which means that you have completed 2 full weeks of home learning. Well done as I know it can be tricky to focus and concentrate on school tasks in an environment out with the classroom.

Let’s start today with a prayer. Close your eyes say our morning prayer and an Our Father.

Remember you have a few hours left to take part in the Sum Dog maths competition. The leader board is looking very close between a few pupils. I will post the name of the winner at the end of the day.

Complete the maths problems below, remember to read the questions carefully.

Maths Problems- Friday

Being active is a great way to keep you feeling positive! Complete a Joe Wicks workout. Go to the ‘P.E. with Joe’ section and let’s keep fit.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ

Here is a challenge for you all – can you create your own workout routine and get your family to join in?

To develop your spelling skills and expand your vocabulary select some challenging words from some books/newspapers/magazines, explore their definitions and select appropriate spelling strategies such as syllabification, phonological knowledge, word patterns, mnemonics, spelling rules etc. to ensure correct spelling.

Work hard today Primary 7 and I will post again this afternoon.

Mrs Butler 🙂
