  • STEM WEEK – UPDATE FOR FRIDAY 12 JUNE 2020

    Good morning boys and girls ,

    I hope you are all up, have had breakfast and are ready to continue with your weekly activities.

    R.E.

    Close your eyes, join your hands and let us begin the day 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

    So that we may fully benefit from our day together.

    During the month of May we honoured Our Lady. We created a special altar, said decades of the rosary and completed lots of different activities that reminded us how important Our Lady is.

    The month of June is the month of The Sacred Heart of Jesus. The heart is seen as the essence of a person.  Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is devotion to Jesus Christ Himself. Next week (19th June) we will celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, this always takes place 19 days after Pentecost.

    Throughout the Gospel, we experience the outpouring of Jesus’ love from His heart. We experience this love from the miracle stories, His forgiveness of sinners and His compassion for those who are suffering. Kind and caring are two words that come to mind when I think of Jesus, can you think of more words that can be used to describe Him?

    Look closely at the image of The Sacred Heart of Jesus. What do you notice about His heart? Why do you think this is? What does it symbolise? Think of the things that happened in Jesus’ life to help you understand why Jesus’ heart is shown like this.

    Do you have an image of The Sacred Heart of Jesus in your home?

    Task 1

    • Use the image of The Sacred Heart that has been included or find an image from the internet and use it as a stimulus to create your own picture of The Sacred Heart of Jesus. When you have finished your drawing, display it proudly in your home. This can be a special place for you to pray to The Sacred Heart of Jesus over the course of this month.
    • I have also attached an image of The Sacred Heart of Jesus that you can choose to colour if drawing the image is too tricky.

    The Sacred Heart of Jesus colouring page

    We say a special devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. Try saying this special prayer every day during the rest of June.

    O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee.

    Task 2

    Get a piece of paper, fold it in half and cut half a heart shape. Younger pupils may need some help from an adult for this. When it is open a full heart shape will be visible. Decorate the paper and then stick it on top of another sheet of paper. You should then have a blank heart shape on your paper. Write the special devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus in the centre of your heart.

    Decorate this and email it to your teacher or, with permission, upload it onto TWITTER.

  • R.E – Wednesday 10th June

    Happy Wednesday everyone.

    Today you will be learning about The Pope. Have a look at the powerpoint below.

    Who is The Pope

    Every pope has three main jobs:

    • He teaches us by writing and preaching about Jesus.
    • He governs, or leads, us with the power handed down to him from St. Peter.
    • He sanctifies us, or helps make us holy, through prayer and the sacraments.

    Although The Pope has just three primary jobs, he has many names, or titles. Fill in the missing vowels to find just five of his many titles. (Use the powerpoint to help you.)

    To show that the pope is the spiritual father of all Catholics, he is called the

    H____LY     F____TH____R.

    To show that he is the head of a very special diocese, he is called the

    B____SH____P       ____F       R____M____.

    To show that he represents Jesus on earth, he is called the

    V____C____R   ____F     J____S____S   CHR____ST.

    To show that he is the head of the Church, he is called the

    S___PR____M___       P____NT____FF.

    To show that he is carrying out Jesus’ command to help others, he is called the

    S____RV____NT       ____F     TH____       S____RV____NTS     ____F

    Here is a picture for you to colour in.

    Extension Activity

    You are going to research our current Pope. You must include the following:

    • The Pope’s real name and reason for their chosen name as Pope.
    • Their date and place of birth
    • When they began their papacy
    • 5 interesting facts about them

    Please send your work to gw14waughamanda@glow.sch.uk or tweet us @St_BarbarasPS

    Have a great day!

    Here are your questions for today.

    1. Jane wins £802,649 on the lottery one week and £100,876 on a scratch card the following week. She shares the winnings equally between her 3 children. How much money do they get each?

    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 later today or you can send me your answers at:

    gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

    A special North Lanarkshire Sumdog competition begins today. We qualified last time and finished 40th overall thanks to amazing performances by Dylan, Safeia, Olivia D, Harris, Olivia C, Niall and Shay. They were our only class members who completed the competition.

    More people in our class took part than in any other class but because only 7 of us finished 4 other classes finished higher than we did on the Leaderboard.

    Primary 1b beat us by 5 places!

    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’.

    It’s the day of your spelling test. Give this list of words to someone in your family and ask them to test your knowledge.

    musician, spacious, financial, optician, official, sufficient, facial, gracious, tactician, electrician

    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.

    • A photograph of you in your uniform.

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.
