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 gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk 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.

Have a lovely day boys and girls!

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Primary 7- Best Memory

Hello Primary 7 ,

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.

Mrs Butler

Primary 6 – Monday 1st June

Good Morning Primary 6!!

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

We’ve been doing questions like this for a while and it’s time for a proper workout.

  1. Mr Todd buys 17 drinks at 48p each and 12 drinks at 52p each. What is the total cost of the 29 drinks?
  2. A printing shop charges 3p per page and 75p for the cover. John pays £4.35 for his book, including the cover. How many pages are in his book?
  3. There are 60g of rice in one portion. How many portions are there in a 3kg bag of rice?
  4. 2753 people go to a sports event. Each person pays £2.30 for a ticket. What is the total amount of ticket money collected?
  5. Programmes cost 65p each. The total money from the programme sales is £612.95. How many programme are sold?
  6. Samira bought a present in France. She paid 44.85 French Francs for it. 9.75 French Francs equal £1. What was the cost of the present in pounds and pence?
  7. There are 24 coloured cubes in a box. Three quarters of the cubes are red, four of the cubes are blue and the rest are green. How many green cube are in the box?
  8. A shop sells 6 green apples for 75p and 10 red apples for 90p. Jason bought some bags of green apples and some bags of red apples. He spent £4.20. How many bags of each type of apples did he buy?
  9. A car boot sale charges an entrance fee of 50p for adults and 30p for children. 100 adults and 80 children pay to go in. How much money do they pay altogether?
  10. 250,000 people visited a theme park in one year. 15% of the people visited in April and 40% of the people visited in August. How many people visited the park in the rest of the year?
  11. Cheddar cheese costs £7.50 for 1kg. Marie buys 200 grams of cheddar cheese. How much does she pay?
  12. Cream cheese costs £3.60 for 1kg. Robbie buys a pot of cream cheese for 90p. How many grams of cream cheese does he buy?
  13. 30 children are going on a trip. It costs £5 including lunch. Some children take their own packed lunch. They pay only £3. The 30 children pay a total of £110. How many children are taking their own packed lunch?
  14. A packet contains 1.5 kilograms of guinea pig food. Remi feeds her guinea pig 30 grams of food each day. How many days does the packet of food last?
  15. Every 100g of brown bread contains 6g of fibre. A loaf of bread weights 800g and has 20 equal slices. How much fibre is there in one slice?
  16. A box contains 220 matches and weights 45 grams. The empty box weights 23 grams. Calculate the weight of one match.
  17. The cost for using a minibus is £1.36 for each kilometre. 8 friends go on a 114 kilometre journey. How much does each person pay?
  18. A farmer has £1200 to buy apple trees and pear trees. Apple trees cost £24.75 each. Pear trees cost £12.50 each. He buys 35 apple trees. How many pear trees can he buy with the money he has left?
  19. A school buys some yo-yos as prizes. The yo-yos cost £4.25 each. The school has £40 to spend on prizes. They buy as many yo-yos as they cab. How much money is left?
  20. In a class, 18 of the children are girls. A quarter of the children in the class are boys. Altogether, how many children are there in the class?

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 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.

Here is a link to the announcement.

Primary 6 – Important Announcement!

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.

The Feast of Pentecost – 31 May 2020

“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!!

You can email me any of your work at:

Mr. McIntosh

P4/3 Monday 1st June

Good morning everyone and hello to  June!!! Today is the beginning of a brand new month.  Summer has arrived wouldn’t you say? Hasn’t the weather been amazing?  I hope you have all managed to enjoy it this weekend.  I have water babies at the moment, my girls have hardly left the pool!

Let’s begin with our morning prayer and an Our Father.

Literacy

Today, we are moving onto our common words.

P3 – through, sing, morning, colour, kind, walk, water, picture, once, until

P4 – counting, idea, thirteen, mile, music, speechless, running, interesting

Try rainbow spelling and pyramid writing for these words today.  Choose 4 of them and write a sentence for each.  Usually we write a little bit of weekend news on a Monday, so make sure you do this today. Tell me what you did this weekend.  You may have heard that we have moved on to a different phase of lockdown where we can meet up with one other household at a safe distance of course.  Did you do this?  Who did you see? How did you feel?  I had a lovely visit from my best friend and it was so lovely to see her.  We sat in the garden at a safe distance and had a great chat with an ice cream!  It really cheered me up and I felt so grateful for all the lovely people I have in my life.

Numeracy

Today we are going to revise Fractions.  We have touched on this a little in class way back at the beginning of the year, however see the video below to trigger your memory:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9sycdm/articles/zhmjy9q

The next clip tells us how we write a fraction.  Here’s an example I would use in class, “if you had 9 sweets and you gave Alfie 4 and Jenna 2, you would write it like this:

  • Alfie got 4/9 (say in your head – Alfie got 4 out of the 9 sweets)
  • Jenna got 2/9 (say in your head – Jenna got 2/9 sweets)
  • So what did you get?  How many sweets were left after you gave Alfie and Jenna some?
  • The answer is 3.  So you get 3/9

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9sycdm/articles/zh3xxyc

Here are some worksheets for you to try, don’t worry if you think this is too confusing just now, we are doing it all week and it will become clearer to you as we progress. (Only pick one worksheet)

Stained glass Fractions

*Parents – you don’t need to print out, you can simply ask your child to draw the shape and shade in the correct fraction.

Health & Wellbeing

As I mentioned above, 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.

How positive did this little visit have on us.  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 gw09grahamannemarie@glow 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!!

Now, I know the weather has to be lovely today and it may be the last nice day for a while so please use this as a guidance.  We will work on common words all week but maybe whilst your in the pool or playing outside you can find some ways to learn them.

Enjoy the day and have lots of fun!  I would love to see some pictures of you enjoying the weather!

Sending you all a great big high five 😉

We’re going to look at words ending in -ow.

arrow     narrow     sparrow     yellow     elbow     pillow     window

follow     hollow     borrow     sorrow     burrow     shadow     shallow

Task 1

Numeracy

Mental Challenge: Doubles and Halves

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Select: Level 2 or Level 3 and practise doubles and halves. You might even try both. Good luck!

Weight

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.

Weighing objects is a skill for learning, life and work! You never know when you might need to:

  • Bake a cake – you need to weigh the ingredients so that it tastes delicious
  • You might need to weigh a parcel at the post office so that you know how much it will cost to post
  • You might need to weigh fruit in a supermarket so that you know how much you will have to pay for them
  • You might even want to weigh yourself!

We use scales to weigh objects. Scales come in all shapes and sizes depending on what has to be weighed. You probably have scales in your kitchen and different scales in your bathroom.

  

Kitchen Scales               Bathroom Scales

 

What do everyday objects weigh?

  • A packet of crisps weighs about 30 grams
  • A tin of tomato soup weighs about 400 grams
  • A bag of sugar weighs about 454 grams
  • A large bottle of ketchup weighs about 880 grams
  • A litre of water weighs 1000 grams or 1 kilogram

Information Section

1000 grams = 1 kilogram or we can write this as: 1000g = 1kg     g = gram; kg = kilogram

1kg = 1000g          3kg = 3000g          5kg = 5000g          2kg 30g = 2030g         3kg 625g = 3625g

4000g = 4kg          12 000g = 12kg          4750g = 4kg 750g          9785g – 9kg 785 g     8004g = 8kg 4g

Task 1

Write the following weights in grams – g:

a) 4kg      b) 7kg      c) 17kg      d) 24kg     e) 58kg     f) 32kg     g) 61kg     h) 10kg

Task 2

Now write these in grams – g:

a) 1kg 600g      b) 6kg 350g      c) 8kg 910g      d) 4kg 725g     e) 5kg 37g     f) 11kg 66g

g) 12kg 3g       h) 76kg 90g       i) 4kg 4g

 

Task 3

Change the following from g to kg

a) 2000g      b) 8000g      c) 3000g     d) 10 000g      e) 71 000g      f) 36 000g      g) 13 000g

Answers will be uploaded at 3pm today.

I am in the hub Tuesday and Wednesday this week so there will be no blog’s posted on these days. For these days, you can continue to follow the whole school’s R.E and HWB lessons along with a few tasks from your first level home-learning grids.

I would love to hear how you all get on over the next few days so please send in lots of pictures. It would be great to show off all your fabulous work on our weekly blogs.🌟

Have a marvellous Monday my superstars. Work hard but don’t forget to take plenty of breaks and go out and enjoy the sunshine too! I’ll be back on Thursday.

Primary 7- Monday 1st June

Good morning Primary 7,

It is marvellous Monday, the sun is shining and we are now in the month of June. This is your final month of Primary 7 and although it is not how we imagined it would be, we are going to try our best to make the most of it!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Wasn’t the weather fabulous? It really lifted my spirits and put a big smile on my face. I really enjoyed going a nice walk in the sunshine.

Let us begin this beautiful 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 out day together.

Amen.

Here are today’s Health and Wellbeing and This Is Our Faith activities-

Monday 1st June- This Is Our Faith 

The Feast of Pentecost – 31 May 2020

“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 gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.

Monday 1st June- Health and Wellbeing

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.

How positive did this little visit have on us.  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 gw13reidsiobhan@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!!

Please remember to send me over any completed work so that I can share some of your wonderful work on our Primary 7 GLOW homepage. We want everyone to see how amazing the Primary 7 pupils of St Barbara’s Primary School really are!

Have another fantastic day boys and girls and remember if you need me, for anything at all, please do not hesitate to contact me at gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk.

Smiles all around as the sun is shining bright!

Mrs Butler

As usual, we will begin our day with our morning prayer.

Literacy

Mrs McLeod has asked me to remind you all that she has set a new scholastic reading book for you today.  So just log in, find your book and have fun reading it.

 

We have another new phoneme to learn this week boys and girls, it is the phoneme ‘OO’

‘OO’ is quite an easy phoneme to learn and a very useful one too!  Here are some ‘OO’ words for you to learn.

look

book

pool

food

hook

First of all I want you to write these ‘OO’ words out 3 times.

Now I would like you to make rainbow ‘OO’ words.

Finally, I would like you to make a sentence with each word, remembering a capital letter, full stop and finger spaces.

Now try the worksheet below.

Number

See the source image

Boys and girls, here is a worksheet which has adding and taking away sums.  You will need to look very carefully at the sign in each sums to answer them correctly.  Remember when you add 2 numbers together you get a bigger number.  When you take 1 number away from another the answer gets smaller.  Good luck!

Time

Oclock

Boys and girls, can you make a ladybug clock just like this one.

 

See the source imageNow you can move the hands of the clock to show different times.

  1. What time do we start school in the morning?
  2. Can you move the hands of the clock to show this time?
  3. What time do we finish school in the afternoon?
  4. Can you move the hands of the clock to show this time?
  5. I have my lunch at 1 o’clock, can you move the hands of the clock to show this time?
  6. I go to my bed at 10 o’clock, can you move the hands of the clock to show this time?

Well done boys and girls.  If you have a watch or a clock at home you could move the hands to show different times.  This is a good way of practising telling the time.

I have also set a little challenge on sum-dog about time.  Good luck!

I hope you have a good day boys and girls.  Remember you don’t need to do everything, just do what you can and have fun.

Mrs Connolly
