I hope you had a lovely day today and were keeping your bodies and brains active. Did you try the mental maths questions this morning? How well did you do?
I hope you are all well and had a good day yesterday.
I have checked First News and can see some of you are working on your tasks, if you haven’t logged on yet, please give some of them a go today. Continue to work from your grids too. After the Easter holidays, I will be setting you daily tasks on here.
Why not try some art and crafts today? You could make a nice spring picture or a butterfly using materials found at home. We did this and the girls loved it!
Remember our topic was about plastic pollution, so anything you can find that you can recycle would be good too. Upload your creations on twitter so I can see them, remember you can send me a little message below too. I miss you all very much.
I hope everyone had a good night’s sleep and are ready to start a new day. Continue working through your learning grids to keep your brains active, there are lots of fun tasks to be completed.
Tune in to the Science Centre’s live broadcast at 10.00am this morning and write a short summary about what you have learned.
After the Easter holidays I am going to be setting you some tasks that encourage you to research WW2 as I know this was a topic you were all looking forward to learning about in school. Over the next few days you could record any facts that you already know about WW2 and any areas that you would like to explore. When you have created a list of questions you can email them to me and I will use them to plan out this topic.
I have created a Sum Dog competition that focuses on fractions, decimals and percentages. It would be great if as many of you as possible could participate in this competition and I will post the name of the winner on Friday afternoon. Come on Primary 7, bring out your competitive side!
I have set a reading comprehension task on First News that explores current news around the world. This task encourages you to read the articles carefully and explore a range of different questioning styles.
Remember to continue with personal reading every day, it is such a nice way to switch off and relax for a little bit of time.
Hope we are up and ready to learn. Lets start the day with some exercise. You could try some go noodle videos or even try out Joe Wicks at 9:00 am on YouTube.
Today from 10:00 am there will be some new Sumdog challenges for you to try. These will be spelling and reading challenges. This is something we haven’t tried before so give it your best shot! Remember if it seems too tricky at first sumdog is just trying to set itself to the correct level for you.
For Maths today you can access Study Ladder for a money challenge. If you don’t have your log in yet remember to email me and I will get it sent to you.
Some of you have already been in touch to ask for a list of spelling words to revise. Please continue to email me and I will send these to you.
Most importantly boys and girls remember to have fun and stay safe!
It’s a new day, lets get up and ready to do some super learning. Please continue working on your learning grids- select one literacy and one numeracy task to do today.
Why not put your dancing skills to the test with Just Dance! Go to their YouTube channel and choose a dance to follow. Encourage anyone at home to join in too!
This week, I would like you to work through the reading, spelling and maths challenges that are set for you on Sumdog- You have until Friday to complete these.
Remember you can also access Studyladder, I have learning pods set up ready for you. These will not time out so don’t panic! Thank you to those who have emailed me for your login details already. If you haven’t done so, please feel free to email me- shreenann@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk and I’ll get your login details sent out to you.
Have a brilliant day and don’t forget to go out and get some fresh air on this beautiful spring morning.
Yesterday was another beautiful Spring day. If you are outside today, see how many signs of Spring you can spot. You could even draw or paint a picture of Spring when you get back inside.
Remember I have set you a spelling and reading challenge on Sumdog to work on this week. I have also set up a Maths competition for our class. Take part and test your amazing skills. I will keep a close eye on Sumdog each day this week and announce the winner of our competition on Friday. Good luck everyone!
Remember to keep active and have fun! Tuesday is our PE day so why not try the Joe Wicks workout, Jump Start Jonny or even some Cosmic Yoga.
We enjoy practising counting to 100 in ones in class with Jack Hartmann. Why not try this at home and ask someone in your house to join in!
Spread some joy by showing kindness today. You could help your mum and dad with any jobs around the house.
Enjoy your day boys and girls. Have fun and keep smiling!
How did you get on with yesterday’s maths challenge?
Mrs. McIntosh bought eye-liner for £4.20, hair conditioner for £5.55 and face cream for £3.79.
How much change did she get from three £5 notes and what coins could she have been paid in?
You find the answer by adding all of the costs together £4.20+£5.55+£3.79 to make £13.54
Then subtracting that from 3x£5 = £15
£15 – £13.54 = £1.46
So Mrs. McIntosh gets £1.46 in change.
There are a few different ways to make this in coins but the one which uses the least number of coins is
£1, 20p, 20p, 5p and 1p
Here’s Cressida Cowell reading Chapters 5 and 6 of “How to Train your Dragon”
Old Wrinkly says that the times call for a new kind of hero and he implies that Hiccup could be that hero. Compare and contrast the two ways of being a hero that Old Wrinkly talks about. The old way followed by characters like Snotlout and Professor Yobbish and the new way that Hiccup could show them.
Keep practising your key spelling words and try to add other words in the same family.
For example – lightning, light, lighten, lighting
I added some new learning pods on Studyladder you should have a look at. Remember you can switch from one pod to another and go back when you want to.
Here’s a maths starter for today.
I started adding work to Studyladder at twenty to four and finished at twenty past five.
How long did I spend on Studyladder in minutes?
How long did I spend on Studyladder in hours? (This is trickier)
I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday and managed to get out – perhaps into your garden for a play.
Today I’d like you to go out and exercise in your garden if you can or join in on one of the many workouts – perhaps Joe Wicks or Jumpstart Jonny.
Keep up with the Sumdog, Firstnews and Studyladder activities.
Have a go at these mental maths questions. Remember try to answer them without writing your working down.
I will post the answers today at 3pm.
I would also like you to say a prayer for everyone who is sick and is in need of our prayers. Why don’t we all stop what we are doing at 12.30pm if we can and say the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. Remembering to keep those who are sick in our thoughts.
