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 🥰

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 🙂
