Primary 3 – Friday 29th May

Good morning primary 3,

Happy Friday!!

I hope you have all had a lovely week.

I would like to say a big well done for all of your hard work.

Please scroll down to find your work for today.

Literacy

Please read over your common words and try to spell them out loud. No peeking!

For reading today I would like you to choose a book and go and do some reading in the sunshine. Don’t forget the sun cream!

Can you remember when we learned how to use commas?

Remember we can use commas to separate items on a list.

Have a look at the activity below and give it a try it in your jotter.

Comma Task

Numeracy

Today we are going to be working on multiplication.

Please start today by having a go at ‘hit the button’. Just cut and paste the link below to play.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

In class we learned a range of strategies to help us with multiplication. Have a look at the posters below to remind yourself how they work.

It is very important for us to talk about how we are feeling.  It is especially important now as some of you may be worried about the changes we have all had to make in the last few months.  Talking to someone, exercising and relaxing are all great ways to help your health and wellbeing and keep you feeling happy.  Today I would like you to play the lanterns game below where you write down how you are feeling and what has made you feel that way.  You will then see your feeling float up into the sky.

Lanterns

Now we are going to do some Jump Start Jonny to help us get some fun exercise and make us smile!

Home

Click on whichever video you like or do all three!  My favourite is I like to move it 🙂 it certainly gets your heart beating!

Now for some relaxing time.  A great way to relax is by doing yoga. Yoga is an ancient form of exercise that focuses on strength, flexibility and breathing to boost physical and mental wellbeing. The main components of yoga are postures (a series of movements designed to increase strength and flexibility) and breathing.

Why not send us some pictures of you taking part in any of the exercises you have been doing today.  Send to gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk or Tweet @St_BarbarasPS

R.E

We have been learning how Jesus prayed for his friends and for all of us and how he taught his disciples to pray to our Heavenly Father.  We know that saying our prayers is very important.  On the accompanying illustration of Jesus praying, draw pictures or write names in the thought bubble of yourselves and some of the other people Jesus was praying for. You could choose your families and friends, as well as our brothers and sisters throughout the world.

Colour your picture in when you have finished writing in the names of your family and friends.  Now show someone your picture and tell them how much you love them and that you will remember them in your prayers.

Please send us a copy of your picture at gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk or Tweet us @St_BarbarasPS

Have a lovely day boys and girls and have a wonderful weekend with your family.

Take care.

Primary 6 – Important Announcement!

Primary 6,

Normally at this time of year you would be meeting your buddies for the first time and would begin welcoming the new intake to Primary 1.

That can’t really happen the way that it normally would.

However, you can still act as buddies to the new Primary 1 intake.

We would like each of you to write a ‘Buddy Letter’, welcoming the new intake to the school, explaining a little about who you are and what you are interested in and telling them about some of your positive experiences of going to school, that we can give to the new Primary 1s.

With your parents’ permission we would also like these letters to include a photograph so that the incoming Primary 1s will be able to put a face to the name.

Your parents or guardians should have received an email about it yesterday. If they did not have them check their junk mail or email me at:

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

 

Completed letters and photographs can be emailed to:

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

Primary 4/3 – Thursday 28 May 2020

🌈🌈GOOD MORNING PRIMARY 4/3🌈🌈

Hi boys and girls, hopefully the sun breaks through the clouds today!! ☀️ 🌞 I have loved watching/seeing all of your Virtual Sports Day activities from Tuesday.  Definitely some budding athletes for the future I think!

Let’s start the day with our morning prayer 🙏.  We could also say a Hail Mary remembering anyone who needs a little prayer.

Literacy 📝📖 🔠

Choose a starter activity from the link below.  Remember to choose one you haven’t already used.

Find a Word!

Today we are going to continue with our homophones.  Watch the following link to give yourself a little reminder.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zqhpk2p/articles/zc84cwx

Remember homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and are spelt differently.  Last week we looked at to/too/two because they are very commonly mis-spelled as people use the wrong one.  You must ensure that you use the correct word in your writing.  We all did very well on the exercise but the hard part now is to remember to apply what you have learned and use the correct word.  I’ll be looking very closely at this in your written work.  🔎

Today I would like you to think of pairs/trios of other homophones.  Can you list 5? 7? or maybe even 10?  Try your hardest and I would love to see your lists.  Some are more common than others.  Once you have your list I would like you to take 3 of your sets of homophones and show me you understand what each of them mean by using them in a sentence.  Remember your core targets and make your sentences as interesting as possible.  Remember, too, it must make sense.

Continue to practise your phoneme words if you need to.

Today I have assigned you a reading book 📖 in Scholastics.  Please email me and I will send you the information you need to get into your book.

Numeracy🔢

Today we are going to concentrate on our 4 number operations.  These are addition/subtraction/multiplication/division (+ – x ÷).   If you are given a sum you always have to look at the sign and ensure we carry out the correct operation.  If we are given a word problem we have to ensure we read it carefully and ask ourselves what we need to do.  Will we add, subtract, multiply or divide.

We are going to be working from our Teejay Textbook today, so I will give you your exercise when you email me about your reading book.

When you have finished you can choose to play an online maths game of your choice for one of the four operations.

Health and Well-being 🚴‍♀️🕺🤾🏼‍♂️👒 🧢 

We have all been enjoying the lovely sunny weather recently and it has been great to be able to get outside and play.  Even though it is important for everyone to enjoy the sun we have got to remember that it can burn your skin. There are three important steps to stop sunburn:

• Cover up with clothing and a hat
• Spend time in the shade,
• Wear suitable sunscreen and apply it often

In the attached sheet the character in it is out in the sun with no hat!!!  I would like you to design a hat for the character and make sure it offers suitable protection against the sun.

R.E. 🙏

When we pray it is important to remember a few simple things.  Prayers can be simple thoughts and words coming straight from the heart.  Sometimes God doesn’t seem to give us what we pray for.  Do not give up praying – keep on talking to God and listening for he knows what is best for you, even if it is not what you expected.  It is also important to remember that we don’t just ask God for things we want.  Remember to praise God and thank him for his goodness, to tell him about ourselves and others and say sorry if we have done wrong.

Why not join in with this hymn Alleluia Alleluia Give Thanks to the Risen Lord below to praise God:

I would like you to write out a short prayer thanking God for all the wonderful things you have in your life.  I have included a template below for you to use or you can design your own.

Prayer Template

Please send us a copy of your prayer at gw09boyceshirley2@glow.sch.uk or Tweet us @St_BarbarasPS.

Also as it is Thursday again let’s remember to thank all NHS workers tonight at 8pm by clapping and making as much noise as you can for them. 👏👏

Remember you can choose an activity from the grid too!

Well boys and girls that’s you finished for the day.  I hope you remember all the good advice given in your health and well-being work today about staying safe in the sun.  ☀️

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Take care and stay safe.

Primary 6 – Thursday 28th May

Good Morning Primary 6!!

It’s Thursday! Easily the most exciting day of the week. Did you know that Thursday is traditionally the day that toast will land BUTTER SIDE UP!

Amazing!

Although, just like any old myth that I made up, you probably don’t want to test it too much.

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.

a) 19.2 points

b) 43.2 miles

c) £76.5

d) 18 miles

e) 108 miles

f) 63.2 cm

g) 25.2 miles

h) 7.2 cm

i) 4.2 cm

j) 129.2 cm or 1.292 m

This week we are working on some word problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Calculate the answers to these questions in your jotter.

a) A theatre holds 1060 people. If 389 seats remain unsold on one evening, how many seats have been sold?

b) The school spends £186.20 on fresh fruit during January. In February it spends £188.89. How much has been spent on fruit in total during these two months?

c) A car salesroom sells 12 cars for £9,800 each. How much money have they taken altogether?

c) Jade’s mum buys a pack of 6 kiwi fruit. They cost £1.32. How much does each kiwi fruit cost?

d) What is the product of 19 and 3.6?

e) Mr Daw gives each child in his class 18 stickers during January. If there are 29 children in Mr Daw’s class, how many stickers has Mr Daw given out?

f) Katie spends £1.29 on a magazine and £8.95 on a CD. If she had £12.50 to start with, how much does she have left?

g) Mrs Sherwood puts sweets into bags before the disco. If she puts 14 sweets into each bag, how many bags will be needed to take 196 sweets?

h) Mr Daw shows limited willpower and eats 17 biscuits every day in 2009. (Mrs Mole eats the rest.) How many biscuits will Mr Daw have eaten by the end of the year?

i) Being healthy, Mrs Wollington buys a 2-litre bottle of olive oil. She uses 567ml in one week, then 533 the next week. How much does she have left in the bottle by the end of the second week?

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

 

This week for spelling it’s time for a roundup.

Here are some of the spelling words and patterns that we have looked at over the last few weeks. Copy them in to your jotter and split them into their syllables. The first one is done for you.

jacket = Jack-et ,  packet,  racket,  live,  carve,  blue,  due,  process,  resources,  soldier,  sparrow,  yellow,  elbow,  necessary,  separate,  chocolate,  lightning

I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.
