This week we have been looking at Jesus’ commandment to:
‘Love one another as I have loved you.’
Jesus showed his love for all of us on Good Friday when he died on the cross. Tomorrow we are going to celebrate the Feast of the Ascension. On this day, forty days after his resurrection on Easter Sunday, Jesus ascended into Heaven leaving the disciples behind to carry on with his work and to be witnesses for him. They were a little scared to be left without Jesus but they believed in him and they knew that he would not leave them alone. They were quite right of course; the Holy Spirit came to help them on the Feast of Pentecost and we’ll explore that later.
Below you will see two very different video clips about the Ascension. Please watch both of them.
Now what I would like you to do is to draw or make your own reminder of what happened on the Feast of the Ascension.
You could think about making the figures of Jesus, his disciples and the two people dressed in white – you could even create your own video clip.
Or you could draw them and write a sentence or a paragraph below; you might want to make a picture using other media – e.g. cotton wool for the clouds.
I have attached some ideas to help you below.
Whatever activity you choose to do, please email it to gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk or, with an adult’s permission, upload it on to Twitter @St_BarbarasPS
Have a lovely day boys and girls!
Keep smiling.

Hello Primary 7 
,
I hope you are all up, had breakfast and ready to start your day.
We will begin the day with our morning prayer. Before we start today’s tasks I thought it might be nice to say a decade of The Rosary to continue honouring Mary during the month of May. On a Wednesday we celebrate the ‘Glorious Mysteries’. Today we will explore the third ‘Glorious Mystery’, The Descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-41).
Why not try this little brain teaser to get your brain wakened up?

It is important to do a little bit of work each day however it is equally as important to take plenty of breaks and get some fresh air.
Have a wonderful Wednesday Primary 7, I am so proud of all of your efforts.
Mrs Butler 
Good morning my tremendous twos!
I hope you are all well and have been working hard this week. We are already 2 days down and only 2 more to go until the long weekend so let’s make the most of the time we have and do some super learning!
Speaking of super learning…here is some Fantastic Work from two super spellers!
Well done Fraser and Miley on your SUPER SPELLING!
Let’s begin today 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.
St. Barbara, pray for us. 
Here is today’s suggested learning activities- Wednesday 20th
Remember not to worry if you don’t manage to complete all activities today, just try your best and I’ll be impressed.
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.
Keep safe and keep smiling,
Miss Shreenan 
Good morning Primary 6,
It’s Tuesday, The name Tuesday comes from a Middle English word, Tiwesday.
This was named after the Nordic god Tyr.
Tyr was the God of War, like the Roman war god Mars, and Greek god Ares.
In Latin, Tuesday is called ‘Martis dies’ which means “Mars’s Day”
So watch out for arguments today, and don’t get involved in any land wars in Asia or go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.
a) 90 cars
b) 3,000 bricks
c) 252 chips
d) 272 letters
e) 18×6 (no post on Sunday) = 108×7 = 756 miles
f) 440 miles
g) 69×5 (school days) = 345×6 (weeks) = 2,070p or £20.70
h) £880
i) 996m
j) £9.44
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) John receives a monthly allowance of £22. How much is he given
each year?
b) 253 people go to a rock concert. Each person pays £16.75 for a ticket.
What is the total amount of ticket money collected?
c) It costs £0.80 for a child to swim. How much does it cost for a class
of 27 to swim?
d)There were 8956 ants in one ant hill and 3949 in another. How many ants were there altogether?
e)There were 6975 trees on a Pacific Island. A tropical storm blew down 2698 of them. How many were left?
f)A plane flew 2675 miles of a 6000 mile long journey, before stopping to refuel. How much further does it have to go?
g)A library has 10000 books altogether. 2345 books are for children. 3654 books are non- fiction. The rest are fiction. How many fiction books are there?
h)Cilla wants to buy a new car for £6470. She has £4885 in her savings account and receives £854 for her birthday. How much more money does she need to save?
i)Daniel planned to drive 1364 miles in one week. On the first day he drove 172 miles and on the second day 155 miles. How much further did he have to go?
j)The population of Cardiff is 302 747, whilst the population of Sarajevo is 529 321. How many more people live in Sarajevo than in Cardiff?
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
Sumdog are running a special competition for North Lanarkshire schools. We haven’t made the leader board yet because lots of you are on Sumdog but are not answering the competition questions! You’ve got until the 21st. We would be in the top ten if you were answering competition questions instead of playing other games!!
This week for spelling we’re looking at words which end in ‘et’.
Here is your word list for this week.
jacket, packet, racket, ticket, wicket, cricket,
thicket, locket, pocket, rocket, socket, bucket
a)Each of these key words has had its vowels removed (painfully). Write the completed words in your jotter.
j-ck-t, r-ck-t, t-ck-t, p-ck-t, w-ck-t, b-ck-t
b) What am I?
Here are the answers to yesterday’s comprehension exercises
I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.
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 on tomorrow.
R.E.
Yesterday we were looking at the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ message to,
‘Love one another as I have loved you.’
I asked you to think about your families and how much you love them. I also reminded you that Pope Francis has told us all to care for others, ‘No ifs, no buts!’
Today I would like to think about the people living in the same house as you; there might be two of you, there might be six of you! It doesn’t matter. Now I would like you to think of FIVE little things that you could do this week for those in your home. It could be that you set the table, make your bed, clear up after a meal, make someone a cup of tea or even take the vacuum cleaner for a walk!
When you have selected five things, draw some heart shapes and inside each, draw or write your tasks. You can make some extra hearts for decoration. Colour or decorate them carefully. Next make a circle wreath-shape like the picture below or if you have a paper plate, use that. Attach your heart shapes and display your Caring Wreath somewhere you can see it easily. Carry out your tasks this week and show that you care – no ifs, no buts!
Please email your Caring Wreath to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or, with an adult’s permission, upload them on to Twitter @St_BarbarasPS and to Pope Francis’ Twitter @Pontifex
Yesterday we had a look at making healthy snacks and the skills you need to create something delicious in the kitchen!
Today as we get closer to Sports’ Day next Tuesday, let’s be a little more energetic with a dance and then some yoga!
As it’s Tuesday why don’t we follow the further adventures of, “Mi Vida Loca”
Remember you can still choose another task from your updated learning grid and there are other tasks on Sumdog, StudyLadder, FirstNews and Scholastic Books.
You can email me any of your work at:

Mr. McIntosh
Good morning everyone. The weather wasn’t so good yesterday, hopefully it will be a bit drier today and you can spend some time outside.
Morning prayer and an Our Father today.
Literacy
Revise your phonemes and add anymore words to your list. In class, we normally look at a phoneme story. Can you make up your own using as many of the phonemes as possible? Make sure to highlight the phonemes throughout.
This week is Mental Health Awareness week with a focus on kindness. In class, months before the virus, we wrote “postcards of kindness” do you remember? I would like you to design and write a message on a postcard and give it to someone in your house or (if you are allowed) post it to someone, a friend or family member. Being kind not only brightens up someone else’s day, but it makes you feel good about being that kind person. There are many lonely people out there just now or people who are feeling sad, you can help them just a little by doing that.
Numeracy
Yesterday we revised time – o’clock and half past. Today we will revise quarter to and past.

I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day. See you tomorrow.
Good morning Superstars
I hope you are all well.
It was great seeing lots of pictures yesterday of all your wonderful work. You were all very busy bees.
Look at the wonderful healthy snacks Holly, Chloe and Aria-Rose made.
Take at look at Daniel’s subtraction skills. Very impressive!
Aaron has been working hard on his dictated sentences. He has included capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.
Today is Tuesday. Do you remember how to say Tuesday in Spanish? That’s right, it is Martes. You could teach someone in your house how to say all of the days of the week in Spanish by singing our song.
Did that song wake you up? Let’s get started on today’s learning activities.
Let’s begin our day 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.
Here is today’s overview:
Yesterday you learned the ‘ee’ sound. Did you manage to think of lots of words that have this sound? Look at the pictures below, can you guess each ee word?
Watch and learn more about the ee sound.
Ask your child to think of a strategy to help them spell each new common word correctly. Can they sound out all of their new common words? They can sound out had and see but has is tricky. When we say the word ‘has’, the ‘s’ sounds like a ‘z’ so we can’t sound out this word. They can choose a different strategy that works best for them.
Once your child has written their sentences ask them to check that they have included their core writing targets.
Well done to all of the boys and girls who managed to play Sumdog yesterday. 15 of you have played so far. What an amazing effort Primary 1b! There is a little reward waiting for you all when you next sign in. Our class has now qualified. Now let’s see if we can make our way up the leader board.There are only 3 more days left to take part. Take your time and just try your best. You are awarded points for accuracy so think carefully about each question before you answer. Good luck Super stars!
Before we begin let’s get into character. You are going to be a pirate.
Start by saying Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!
Next say Ahoy, Me Hearties!
Finally say Yo Ho Ho!
Now you are ready to begin. The pirates have some very wise words. Listen carefully to find out what always happens when you subtract.
