Good morning Primary 1b🙋♀️
Friday has arrived and Golden Time is near.🌟
You have a few more tasks to complete today and then you can enjoy a well deserved break. You have continued to amaze me this week with all of your wonderful work!👏
Let’s get started on today’s activities.
We will begin our day as always, with our morning prayer.🙏🏻
God our Father, as we prepare to begin our work, we ask you to help us use properly, the many gifts you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together in school. St. Barbara, pray for us.
Here is today’s overview:
Literacy🔠
Primary 1. We need your help!😀
Yesterday I sent an email to all of your parents. I have a very special mission that I would like you to complete. Have a little look at the email for more details. I would like you to use today’s Literacy time to complete this task. It is a very special and important task but I know that all of you wonderful ones will do such a great job! Remember to show off your lovely smiles.
Maths🔢
Sumdog Competition
Sumdog have launched a new contest for North Lanarkshire primary schools.
It begins today, the 5th of June and will end on Thursday 11th June.
Last month our class finished in 35th place out of 316 classes. What an amazing achievement Primary 1b. Our Class Champion was Chloe! Amazing!
Let’s try and see if we can get higher up the leader board in this competition. I believe in you all, I know we can do it! Who will be crowned our Class Champion in this contest?
Remember, in order to qualify, we need a minimum of 10 people to take part in our class. 15 people in our class played last time which was amazing! Let’s try and see if we can get all 19 players this time. You can do it boys and girls.
Your Maths task for today is to log on to Sumdog and take part in this amazing contest.
Good luck! Take your time and give it your best shot Primary 1b. I am rooting for you all!
HWB🧘♂️🤸♀️🏊♂️⛹️♀️
Let’s get active with some more Yoga practice. Remember all the good advise Mrs McFall gave on Monday! Enjoy and make sure you drink plenty.
Well done – we have definitely kept our bodies well looked after this week! 👏👏
R.E.🙏🏻
As today would have been our final First Friday Mass of the school year I would like you to follow Father Campbell’s mass at 10.00 am on Facebook (with an adult’s permission).
Remember to have your SSP (Special Sneaky Playtime). Hopefully the sun will be shining. ☀️
Alyssa spotted lots of digital clocks around her house yesterday! Great work Alyssa!🌟
Matthew had lots of fun drawing around his little sister. Take a look at all of the body parts he was able to identify and label! This is amazing Matthew!🌟
Thumbs up for Holly! She has written super sentences and remembered her core writing targets. Excellent effort!🌟
🌟It’s now time for GOLDEN TIME. Have fun!🌟
You have completed another week of home learning boys and girls. Thank you for all your effort and hard work this week. I have really enjoyed reading emails, seeing pictures and watching video clips that you have all been sending me throughout the week. There has been lots of wonderful work going on at home. It has been great to see your smiley faces again and hear some familiar voices.
Next week all of the teachers in St. Barbara’s will be returning to school to organise classrooms and learning for you all coming back in August. There will be new updated grids for you to use from next week until the end of the term. R.E. and Health & Well Being activities will be posted on here.
Keep working hard my Superstars. I am missing you all lots and lots.
I hope you have a lovely relaxing weekend.🥰
Take care,
Miss McEleney😀🌈❣️

Happy Friday Primary 7 
,
Can you believe it is nearly the weekend already? One more day of home learning activities and then you can have two days off to relax. There were 3 important things that I asked to be sent over to me this week-
- My best memory of my time at St Barbara’s Primary School.
- Where do I see myself in 20 years time?
- A photograph of you in your uniform.
I would really like to have these from all pupils by the end of today so if you have not completed these tasks can you please do so ASAP! When you have completed these activities send them to me at gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk. For the 2 writing tasks it would be good if you could type them in an email or send them as a word document rather than as a picture.
We will being with our morning prayer. 
God our Father
As we prepare to begin our work
We ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us

Primary 3 – Friday 5th June
Good morning primary 3!
I hope you have all had a lovely week.
I would like to say thank you and a big well done for all of your hard work. I am very proud of you all.
Literacy
Reading:
For reading today I would like you to chose a book you enjoy and read it quietly to yourself. When you have completed your book you can fill out the book review below. Remember you do not have to print out the sheet as you can just answer the questions in your jotter.
Spelling:
Friday is usually our spelling test day. I would like you to choose 5 phoneme words from this week and test yourself. To do this you can read, cover, write and check the words in your jotter. This is just like the way we do it in class.
Grammar and Punctuation:
Can you remember when we looked at putting words into alphabetical order?
Have a look at the power point below to remind yourself what this means. It will give you some challenges along the way that you can complete in your jotter.
Numeracy
Number Talks:
Choose one question to complete in your head.
Red – 78 – 9 =
Amber – 84 – 23 =
Green – 63 – 36 =
What strategy did you use?
I will post answers and suggested strategies at 3:00pm today.
For our main numeracy task today we are going to be taking part in a Sumdog competition.
This is a North Lanarkshire competition for primary schools.
To qualify we need all of our class to log on a play.
Good luck!!

Make sure you still access these blogs for your daily RE and Health & Wellbeing as well as any other important messages.

Here are your questions for today.

Remember, decimals make no difference to how you add, subtract, multiply or divide you only have to remember to keep the decimal points above one another, in a straight line.
This is not how we would write out sums to find the answer so don’t write them this way in your jotter. Use place value, carrying and decomposition (borrowing) to find your answers.
I’ll post the answers to these tomorrow or you can send me your answers at:
gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk
For spelling this week I want to look at another spelling rule.
The sound ‘sh’ represented by ‘ci’.
Some words use ‘ti’ to make ‘sh’. Words like station, nation or education.
When a longer word is formed from a root word, however, the ‘sh’ sound is represented by ‘ci’.
List these words alphabetically
musician, spacious, financial, optician, official, sufficient, facial, gracious, tactician, electrician
Then write a short sentence which explains each of their meanings.
I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.
I’ve now received buddy letters back from most of the class. If you haven’t sent me your’s yet, now is your time to get it written.
Here is a link to the announcement.
Primary 6 – Important Announcement!
Here are the answers to yesterday’s comprehension exercises
Here are three new comprehension exercises for today. You can choose to do as many of them as you wish.
I’ll post the answers tomorrow.

As we know things just now are very different from what we are used to. By now our new Primary 1 children would have been in to visit the school but, like you, they have not been able to come in for their visits. We are thinking that it would be a lovely idea for you to say a little prayer for them. In order to make them feel welcome to our school in August, I would like you to choose the word for your stage below, write/colour it on a sheet of paper, hold it up and ask an adult to take a picture of you holding your word with a big smile and if it is possible you could wear your uniform. Please email your picture to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk . We will use these to make our Primary 1’s feel very welcome to our school.
A Great Big Welcome To St. Barbara’s!
Primary 1 – A; Primary 5 – Great; Primary 4 – Big; Primary 6 – Welcome; Primary 2 – To; PRIMARY 3 – St. (remember the dot); Primary 7 – Barbara’s!
Do you remember our Easter Message?
We still miss you lots!!
H.W.B
We we’re talking yesterday about how important it is to look after our bodies. Drinking plenty especially during exercise and warm weather to keep us hydrated. Our bodies are amazing things.
Here is a little activity to keep you busy and at the same time learn about all of the parts that make up ‘US’!!
Have you got a roll of wallpaper lying around or if you have been receiving lots of packages (did you know all our posties are busier than their busiest time of the year, Christmas!) during lockdown and have cardboard boxes around I want you to lie them flat on the ground and get someone in your house to draw round you. (The weather’s not looking that good today but should be dry so even do this task outside)
Here we have our template!! Can you label and identify as many parts of the human body, all the organs? See if you can have a good guess at where they are located. Our heart 💓 Should be easy, what about our lungs, liver etc. Try to see how many you can find. You could even put your artistic talents to good use and draw them in.
Remember to email your marvellous pictures to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.
You can email me any of your work at:
gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk
