Good morning everyone, what a glorious day it was yesterday. I hope you all enjoyed the weather. Any work that you didn’t get a chance to do yesterday, try to do it today. Your spelling words are the most important, these will keep you on track for when you return to school in August.
Morning prayer and Our Father.
Literacy
Spend 15 mins this morning revising your spelling words.
During this time away from school, we have had to spend a lot of our time in our gardens or out walking in our local area. Following on from your acrostic POSITVE poem yesterday, today I would like you write another poem. The title can be MY GARDEN or MY DAILY WALK (or cycle), or SUMMER. To begin with, I want you to use all of your senses for the content of this poem. For example:
In my garden/During my walk, I can see…
In my garden/During my walk, I can hear…
In my garden/During my walk, I can smell…
In my garden/During my walk, I can touch…
In my garden/During my walk, I can taste…
Complete this and then use the information to create your poem. It can be an acrostic poem using the words above or you can choose to write a poem with 2 or 3 verses.

With the hot weather that hopefully we have all been enjoying we are going to look at ways to help us stay hydrated. We know that we need to drink plenty of water and ensure we do that more frequently during hot days.
Another great way to enjoy the hot weather is with a lovely cool Slushie!!
Yum Yum. Below there is a great recipe, with a little bit of science thrown in, that lets you make a slush with your hands!! Yip that is right you don’t need a fancy NutriBullet or a blender, just your hands. So here goes :
Instructions to make a cool mouth-watering smoothie!!
Place one cup of your chosen juice into a small Ziploc bag and zip tight.
Place 4 cups of ice and half a cup of salt into a large Ziploc bag along with the juice bag and zip that tight too.
Shake the large bag over the sink or outside for 2-5 minutes or until the juice bag turns to slush.
Pour into a cup and enjoy!!
If you have your own recipe/method for making a Slushie please email this along with a picture of your Slushie to gw09grahamannemarie@glow or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.

The Feast of Pentecost is a very important celebration in the Church’s year and watching the short clip below will give you a snapshot of the importance of this great celebration.
The Feast of Pentecost is seen as the Birthday of the Church.
The Holy Spirit came to the disciples not only as a reminder that Jesus would always be with them but so that they received the strength and courage to continue to build God’s kingdom, not only in Jerusalem but to ensure it reached the ends of the earth. In John’s Gospel on Sunday we heard not only about Jesus’ word but about Jesus’ action, “he breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit”. Jesus’ breath gives new life, eternal life into the disciples, giving them the courage to go out and spread the word by being given special gifts. Jesus gave them the gift of speaking different languages to be able to carry out his work all over the world.
The Holy Spirit came to us in the Sacrament of Baptism and will or has come again to us in the Sacrament of Confirmation. Talk to an adult about your Baptism/Confirmation(if you have made it yet). Think about all the wonderful gifts God has given us and give thanks to the Lord for all that we have to be glad of. Just like the disciples we give thanks to the Lord of all the gifts he has given us. We are so grateful to God for always being with us.
What you may not know is that we have been watching, ‘Mi Vida Loca’ on a Tuesday but in Spain Tuesday is considered an unlucky day, especially Tuesday the 13th
Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.
Change it all to pence, 61295p÷65 = 943 programmes
Simplify and remove the decimal points, 4485÷975 = 4.6 or £4.60
24 cubes÷4 = 6, 6×3(to find ¾) = 18, so 18 red cubes, 4 blue cubes and 2 green cubes to make 24.
Try a table, estimate and check
Bags of Red
Bags of Green
Total

75+90 = 165p or £1.65

150+180 = 330p or £3.30

225+270 = 495p or £4.95
(75p too much)

150+270 = 420p or £4.20
100x50p = 5000p or £50, 80x30p = 2400p or £24, £80+£24 = £104
40%+15% = 55% leaving 45% still to visit, 45% of 250,000 is 250,000÷100 = 2,500×45 = 112,500 people
There are 5 blocks of 200g in 1kg, so divide by 5, £7.50÷5 = £1.50
There are 4 stacks of 90p in £3.60 so she buys ¼ of a kilogram or 250g
Try a table, estimate and check

£25+£75 = £100

£50+£60 = £110
Change everything to grams and divide, 1500g÷30 or 150÷3 (the answer is the same) = 50 days
8x6g of fibre = 48g of fibre in an 800g loaf, 48g÷20 = 2.4g of fibre in each slice
Weight of matches = 45g-23g = 22g, one match weighs 22g÷220 = 0.1g
Total cost of the journey is 114x£1.36 = £155.04, cost for each person is £155.04÷8 = £19.38
35 apple trees cost 35x£24.75 = £866.25, money left = £1200-£866.25 = £333.75, £333.75÷12.50 = 26.7 so he can buy 26 pear trees but not 27
£40÷4.25 = 9.41, so they can buy 9 yo-yos, 9 yo-yos cost 9x£4.25 = £38.25, they have 75p left
If a quarter of the class are boys then three quarters are girls, so 18 is ¾, that means 6 is ¼. There are 6 boys in the class
How did you get on? They were a proper nightmare weren’t they. Today were going to go a little easier.

There are 3,882,675 West Ham fans in the world and 9,920,249 Liverpool supporters in the world. What is the total number of West Ham and Liverpool fans in the world?
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’.
Copy these words into your jotter adding the missing letters
music – mus—–
space – spa—–
finance – finan—-
opti- – opti—-
office – offi—-
suffi– – sufficient
face – fa—-
grace – gra—–
tactic – tacti—-

I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.
On Thursday and Friday I put up a special announcement about the buddy letters that you should be writing to the new Primary 1’s.
I’ve now received letters back from about three quarters the class. If you haven’t sent me your’s yet, now is your time to get it written.

Welcome to a brand new month! Let’s hope the sunshine keeps up!☀️
This is the last month of your first year at primary school. I can’t believe how fast time has flown by, it seems like only yesterday that I was welcoming you into our class for the first time. I wish we could be spending this last month together but I am just so glad that you are all safe and well. I miss you lots but we have lots of amazing memories in Primary 1b to remember to keep us smiling!
I was working in the hub yesterday, it was great to see some familiar faces from our school. I hope you managed to enjoy the sunshine and complete some activities from your home learning grid.
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.
Now it is time for you to have a look on Scholastic. I would like you to read the really good book that I have assigned for you!
Reading Challenge Time🌶
One thing I love is listening to you all reading each day in class. I am really missing hearing you all read. I would love if you could record yourself reading your Scholastic book today and send me your audio/video clip. You could record yourself on Scholastic or use an IPad or phone to record you reading.
Maths
Time
I can tell from the pictures I have been sent, that a lot of you have been enjoying learning about time.
Look at the amazing clocks Layla and Chloe created. Well done girls!
It is important that we can tell the time because we have to do lots of things at certain times of the day.
What time do you start school?
What time does school finish?
What time do you usually go to bed?
What time does Father Campbell stream mass live on a Sunday?
On Friday you were learning how to tell the time to the hour on the analogue clock. How did you get on telling the time using o’clock?
Remember:
When the short hand points to a number, this tells us how many hours it is.
When the minute hand is pointing to 12, it is showing a full hour. We call this time ‘o’clock’.
Telling Time 🕰
Join in and practise reading the time on the clock!
Parents, if you are looking for a clock to help practise o’clock with your child, I have included a useful link below. This is an excellent online resource which you can use to support your child.

Now it’s time to test your knowledge of time. Click the link below to take part in Rodd’s time quiz challenge. Good luck!

Literacy
First News: please select from assigned Comprehension, Crossword and Word Definition tasks. I have assigned a new selection from which to choose.
Scholastic: please continue with your selected book. If you have finished, please complete the quiz and choose another book. You should aim to read for twenty-thirty minutes each day. I have assigned new books for you to enjoy!
Spelling
This week we are looking at words with -ow.
-ow can have two different sounds: -ow as in crown and -ow as in blown.
Today I would like you to read the words below and then sort them into two groups as follows:
growl known prowl show growth scowl clown
slow blown brown throw shown down frown throw
Words with -ow sounding like cow Words with -ow sounding like window
Write a sentence using one word from each family.
Answers will be posted at 3pm today.
Cluedo: Literacy
Step 1
Decide on six characters. In the game you have Professor Plum, Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard etc. You can give your character a title e.g. Lord Lime, Captain Chloe -it’s up to you!
Step 2
Give each of your characters a colour and a few characteristics: for example, Lord Lime might be green in colour, he might have a walking stick and he might be sneaky, dishonest and cunning.
Step 3
Think of a setting. In the original edition of Cluedo each room belonged to a mansion with nine rooms.
You can choose any setting – but it must have nine rooms also. It could be a castle, a spaceship etc. List the nine rooms.
Step 4
Decide on six accessories the characters might have e.g. a walking stick, a metal briefcase etc.
Task
Draw each of your characters just like Top Trump cards. The top of each card should show the name of the character. Their clothes should clearly show which colour you have selected for them and each should feature the chosen accessory.
On the bottom of each card, write a brief description of the character based on the characteristics. You don’t need to add any categories or gradings (e.g. Magic 70 above).
Keep your cards somewhere safe.

Weight
Yesterday we began looking at units of measurement we use in weighing: grams and kilograms.
There is a reminder for you below.
Kilogram and Gram
A gram is a small unit which is used to weigh objects. It indicates how heavy the object is.
A kilogram is made up of 1000 grams.
Yesterday we changed grams to kilograms and kilograms to grams. We’ll do a little more of that today.
Remember: 2kg = 2000g 4kg 630g = 4630g
Try these:
Change these to grams:
a) 62kg b) 19kg c) 58kg 241g d) 13kg 827g e) 1kg 52g f) 26kg 305g g) 87kg 2g
Change these to kilograms:
a) 8000g b) 19 000g c) 92 000g d) 48 000g e) 31 000g f) 65 000g g) 5000g
The weights below are in grams. Change them to kilograms OR to kilograms AND grams:
a) 87 000g b) 16 000g c) 4000g d) 8900g e) 15 400g f) 3200g g) 60 000g

One of today’s tasks is to write your favourite memory from your time at St Barbara’s Primary School. I think it would be a good idea for you to practise your typing and emailing skills by sending me your favourite memory via email. You can email me your memory at gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk. I am really looking forward to reading all of your memories.
It’s Monday, the beginning of a new week and of a new month.
Magnus was beating me at Connect 4 during Goldentime on Friday, but I accidentally knocked over the game before we could finish. So sad. 😢😂😢
June is important for a lot of reasons. It’s the middle of the year which means that 2020 is nearly half over already and the name ‘June’ may come from the latin word ‘iuniores’, meaning ‘younger ones’, like you.
Just think a whole month devoted to young people. Those Romans were pretty great (apart from all the slavery and murder and persecution and conquest and stuff).
Here are the answers to Friday’s maths questions.
a) 475 tickets
b) 25 shelves
c) 12x£9,800 = £117,600
£150,000-£117,600 = £32,400
If they sell 3 more cars then I estimate that they will make £27-£30,000 (3×9 = 27 plus the hundreds)
So, they need to sell 4 more cars to meet their target.
d) 8x30p = 240p or £2.40
£2.40-£1.92 = £0.48 or 48p.
It is 48p cheaper to buy kiwi fruit by the pack.
e) The product of 19 and 3.6 is: 19×3.6 = 68.4.
The sum of 2.87 and 3.5 is: 2.87+3.5 = 6.37
The difference between the two is: 68.4-6.37 = 62.03
f) 18×29 = 522
1000-522 = 478 stickers left
g) 2x£1.29= £2.58
£2.58+£8.95 = £11.17
£12.50-11.17 = £1.33
h) 1440÷12 = 120 packs
120x72p = 8,640p or £86.40
i)17×364 = 6188
6188+28 = 6,216 biscuits
j) Change it all to ml.
2,500ml-567ml = 1,933
1,933ml-650ml = 1,283ml or 1.283 litres

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’.
Copy these words into your jotter and practise them in any way that you choose:
music – musician
space – spacious
finance – financial
optic – optician
office – official
suffice – sufficient
face – facial
grace – gracious
tactic – tactician
electric – electrician
I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.
On Thursday and Friday I put up a special announcement about the buddy letters that you should be writing to the new Primary 1’s.
I’ve now received letters back from about half the class. If you haven’t sent me your’s yet, now is your time to get it written.
“They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak”
“When Pentecost day came round, they had all met in one room, when suddenly they heard what sounded like a powerful wind from heaven, the noise of which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and something appeared to them that seemed like tongues of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak foreign languages as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech.”
The Feast of Pentecost brings to an end the Season of Easter and falls 50 days after Easter Sunday. Pentecost celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit. As we heard in the first reading of how the disciples were all together and how they were afraid now that Jesus had left them. On this day they were given the gift of speaking many different languages so that they could travel far and wide to spread the good news.
We learn that God is always here for us, we just need to ask him for help if we are afraid, worried or feeling lonely. He will answer our prayer and help us. Especially in these times when we are feeling sad about not seeing our friends and families like we use to. God will be by our sides to guide us through to better times.
Above you will see an image of Pentecost. There are important symbols that are associated with Pentecost – we can read about them in the extract above from the Acts of the Apostles. We also saw Father Campbell in his red vestments when watching Mass yesterday.
For today’s task I would like you to design your own Pentecost poster incorporating some of the important symbols of Pentecost. This poster will remind us that the Holy Spirit is with us in everything we do. Please email your poster to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.
Over the weekend hopefully we were all able to go visit a member of our family! This has been something we have taken for granted all of our lives (as we probably did this every weekend or more). From Friday onward this has been a very special time for many. Hopefully your family don’t live too far away and you have been able to spend some time with them. It must have been a great feeling to spend time, in our gardens, with loved ones.
How it has lifted all our spirits and given us such a positive boast. If you were able to visit someone you have not seen during Lockdown you will know this feeling. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer until we can see all of our family.
Today is also a new month/season JUNE begins our three months of SUMMER, can you believe it!! This too should make us feel more positive as hopefully we have lovely weather.
Being positive makes our world a better place and after all the changes that have happened over the last few months, we will begin to see a brighter, happier, and more POSITIVE future ahead.
I would like you to take the word POSITIVE and write an acrostic poem. (Remember you take the word POSITIVE and in large letters you write it down the left-hand side of your page and then write a word/sentence that begins with each letter of POSITIVE).
Here is an example for the word Welcome to let you see how your poem should look.
You can email your poem to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.
Now to keep that positive vibe going let’s try a little Zumba.
Remember to have plenty of drinks throughout the day. It’s going to be another hot day and we need to stay hydrated!! Watch out for tomorrow’s post to give you another idea for keeping hydrated!!
. Thank you to those who sent me over their best memory of their time at St Barbara’s. If you haven’t yet sent me yours over can you please do so today? Remember to either attach it to an email as a word document or just send it as an email.
