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
So that we may fully benefit from our day together.

Golden time is just around the corner so let’s get started on today’s activities.
We will begin with our morning prayer. 🙏🏻

Well another week of home learning has flown by. The great work has continued to flood in and I am so proud of the time and effort each and every one of you has put in to your work, you are all superstars!🌟
Let’s end the day by having a look at some of the Incredible Work I have been sent.
Arran had lots of fun learning about adjectives. What a great job you have done finding them all. Well done Arran!
Calum really enjoyed his HWB task yesterday. How amazing is this drawing of the human body. Well done Calum!
We certainly have a talented bunch in Primary 2.🌟
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.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend with your families.
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.
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.
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!!

Well it is Friday again and another week of home learning nearly complete. We are finishing with our rainbow topic this week so I made us some word art to represent our class.
Here are the activities for today. Take some Golden Time today everyone (parents too!) You are all working so hard and deserve a break.
This will be our last blog as there will be new updated grids for you to use from next week until the end of term. The teachers will be back in school next week making sure we have everything ready for you to come back in August. Make sure you still access these blogs for your daily RE and Health & Wellbeing as well as any other important messages.
It has been a strange time but I am so proud of you all for staying home and trying to do your best. I am still here for you so feel free to email me anytime.
Well done to all of the children who managed to take part in today’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…Harris Devine.
Well done Harris! You have been crowned our MATHS CHAMPION this week!🏆🏆
Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.
6,470,920-2,847,936 = 3,622,984
12,825,087-8,596,729 = 4,228,358
26,444,561-8,823,000 = 17,621,561
36,570,818+11,630,999 =48,201,817
£96,832,790-£12,670,889 = £84,161,901
20,000,000+12,530,547 =32,530,547
£11,068,086-£6,500,990 = £4,567,096
The smallest 8-digit whole number is 10,000,000 and the greatest 7-digit whole number is 9,999,999. The difference between them is 1.
$357,115,007-$257,698,183 = $99,416,824
1,000,000÷20,000 = 50 (the same as 100÷2), 50x£25 = £1,250
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:

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’.
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.
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.

Hello everyone, you have me today – Mrs Graham. Mrs Boyce says hi but she is a busy bee this week with other school work so I am doing the blog for the rest of the week.
Morning prayer and an Our Father
Literacy
Continue to use your spelling strategies to revise your spelling words this week. Tomorrow, I will ask an adult to test you on your words from this week and I may add in a few sneaky ones from weeks gone by.
During this unusual time, we notice many acts of kindness which are happening around us. Maybe it is someone delivering food to those who can not get out or maybe it’s sending a card or letter through the post to cheer someone up. My friend delivered a bag of goodies on my doorstep one day to cheer me up, it really did. It felt wonderful to know that I have such a caring friend. Have you noticed anything like that? Or maybe you saw something on the news. If you could thank anyone just now, who would it be and why? Write a short letter of thanks to someone. To help you get started, here are a few more examples:
Father Campbell saying mass via live link every day to ensure we can all experience mass and prayer when we can
Your teachers uploading work every day to keep you as up to date as possible with your lessons
Your mum or dad for being your teacher during this time away from school
Your grandparents for sending cards or treats
Your friends/cousins for video chatting or sending you cards

Tomorrow there will be a Sumdog competition for all North Lanarkshire Schools therefore, today make sure you work on your times tables and prepare for tomorrow. Why not have a go at the following games:

Literacy
Time for some fabulous Literacy Work! Have a look and enjoy!
The first is an Acrostic poem by Hannah. Well done!
Now for another wonderful poem, this time by Euan – well done!
Now for the third acrostic poem of the day and this time it’s Hollie’s poem. Fantastic!
Well done, everyone and thank you for sharing your work with all of us!
This week you have been creating sets of cards:
Set 1: Six character cards with associated colours and accessories. You had pictures on each and a brief description
Set 2: Nine room cards with pictures and a brief description of each room
Set 3: Six accessory cards with the picture and the name of the accessory on each.
You were also asked to research the game of Cluedo including the layout of the board and the rules.
Thursday’s Task
Your task is to create a board game of your own. You can use Cluedo as an inspiration or you can be totally original.
The game must be for between three and six players.
All of your cards should be used.
Once you have designed your game you should make a set of easy-to-follow instructions so that others in your class can try it.
The instructions should:
List the contents of the ‘box’
The aim of the game (what you have to do to win)
A list of what each player needs in order to play
Rules of play – what you are allowed/not allowed to do
A rule for deciding who plays first (the youngest child; roll dice – lowest number etc.)
Anything else which a player would need to know in order to play YOUR game
WARNING: You do not have to complete this whole task today…it might take a few designs and rule changes before you get it just right!
Please send pictures of your game to:

Numeracy
Mental Challenge: Multiplication
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10
Select: Level 3 or Level 4 or Level 5
This week the mental maths challenges have all been linked to multiplication.
Select three tables and set yourself a challenge. Aim for 3 or 5 second intervals. However, if you need more thinking time, that’s fine. Better to think it through correctly than rush and make an error!
Now select two challenges from the mixed section.
Weight
We have been looking at weight this week – specifically at grams and kilograms.
Try these:
monkey snake tarantula tiger elephant
List these zoo animals in order beginning with the one you think weighs most.
Change from kilograms to grams.
a) 8kg b) 12kg c) 14 1/2 kg d) 31kg e) 5kg 800g f) 21kg 6g
Change these weights to kilograms OR to kilograms and grams.
a) 7000g b) 17 000g c) 40 000g d) 6800g e) 8060g f) 10 001g
Jenny and Mandy weigh themselves on some bathroom scales.
Jenny weighs 49 and a half kilograms. Mandy weighs 50kg 200g.
How much more does Mandy weigh?
A box of shopping arrives at Mrs Brown’s house.
It includes 4 tins of soup, 3 jars of pickles and 5 pot noodles.
If a tin of soup weighs 400g, a jar of pickles, 300g, a pot noodle 70g and the box itself weighs 200g what is the total weight of the box and its contents?
Answers will be posted at 3.00pm today.
