St. Barbara's Primary School

Good morning boys and girls 😊HAPPY FRIDAY!  I hope that you have had a great week. Let’s begin today with our morning prayer to St Barbara.

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. St Barbara pray for us.🙏

HWB- Let’s begin with some exercise to get your minds active. I know that you all enjoy Cosmic Kids Yoga so I’d like you to give this one a try, it’s about Coco the butterfly. Have you spotted any butterflies on your daily walks? I have seen lots of different types.

Literacy – This weeks phoneme was a tricky one, ‘ph’. How many ‘ph’ words can you remember? Draw some pictures of the words that you can think of with the ‘ph’ sound in them.

 Today is Friday so it’s time for a little test.  Write the numbers 1-6 in your jotter and ask someone in your family to call out the words slowly. Think about every sound in the word before you write it down.

1. dolphin

2. photo

3. elephant

4. first

5. little

6. one

Dictated sentences– try to complete one of these sentences, you can do more if you wish.
1.The little elephant has a long trunk.

2. I had one photo on my shelf.

3. I was first in the line.

Reading for enjoyment – Today I would like you to choose a book of your own choice to read aloud to someone in your family. You could choose a book from Scholastic, Collins or a book that you have at home.

Well done to the boys and girls who managed to complete their scholastic book this week, you are doing so well! Keep up the super work. If you didn’t get the chance to read it yet perhaps you will get a chance today.

Numeracy– The North Lanarkshire schools contest for Sumdog begins tomorrow at 8am and will end on Thursday 21st May. It would be amazing if our class could make it onto the leaderboard.  Let’s take part over the next few days and have lots of fun playing the games.

RE– We remember Mary, the mother of Jesus and our mother. Let’s say a Hail Mary and remember all of the people who are sick and in hospital. Below is a link for you to try and draw a picture of Mary.  Talk to someone in your family about the kind of person you think Mary was. Can you write some of these words around your picture that describe Mary?

I hope you have a lovely weekend with your families.  Take care and keep safe.

Thursday Word Problem Answers

See you on Monday!

🌈🌈 Good morning🌈🌈

How are you all this morning boys and girls?  I can’t believe that it is Thursday again!!

We will begin our day with a little prayer.  🙏. Let’s try the sign of the cross in Spanish.

Here’s a little reminder of the words.

We are now more than two weeks into May and we would be remembering how important Mary was in Jesus’ life and how we would pray to Our Lady through the Rosary this month.  Take a little time to go to your May Altar, if you were able to make one.  Perhaps you could say a decade of the Rosary for all of our NHS workers and all of the people that need a little prayer.  As we do in assembly when we say our decade of the Rosary we could say every second one in Spanish.  The words are above to help you.

Health and Well-being 💃 🕺  

I hope that you all enjoyed our Hula en espanol last Thursday.  Let’s give it another go today.  Did your family enjoy doing it with you?

Boys and girls for the next part of your maths work, I need you to go into your Glow email and send me a message.  This is so that I can email you the details of how to get on to your textbook.  We have been able to get our Teejay textbooks online.

So a little bit of ICT to go along with your maths today!! 💻

Mrs McKinney sent details on how to get into Glow.  You will need these to follow the instructions to get you in.  Once you are in the home page on the left-hand side of the screen you see a person (My Launch Pad); a house (St Barbara’s Primary School); and a building (North Lanarkshire Council).  I need you to click on the house.  This takes you to a screen and you need to look for Mail Microsoft Office 365.  When you click on this tile, it might ask you to set the time zone.  Look for Edinburgh and choose this time.  Then you should be in your emails.  I can’t wait to read your messages.  You should only need to enter Mrs Boyce to send me a message.  If this doesn’t work look at the email address below.

Well boys and girls thank you for working on all your tasks today.  Remember try your best and do what you can.  If you need something else, you have the grid to choose a task.

Remember to clap as loud as you can tonight at 8.00 pm. 👏 👏 👏
