IT’S SUMDOG COMPETITION TIME AGAIN!!

GOOD MORNING PRIMARY 4/3

Happy Friday everyone.  Thank you to everyone that got in touch with me from their Glow accounts.  Well done!!

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

Numeracy

Today we are going to use our Numeracy time to start the Sumdog competition.  Remember that we are competing against all of the schools in North Lanarkshire .  So far there are 854 classes entered and during the last competition back in February/March we finished 21st!! Wow!! Let’s see if this time we can be even higher.

The rules of the competition are:

• 10 people need to play from your class to qualify, we need you all playing boys and girls.
• you have until next Thursday at 8.00 pm to answer all of your questions

Remember there are 1000 questions, take your time, read your questions carefully and we will be well on our way to improving our class position.  We might even finish highest in the school!!  Watch out Primary 7 we are after your top spot from last time, when you finished an amazing 10th!!    So here goes boys and girls, your best is all that we ask.

Literacy

Test yourself on your common words.  Remember to think of all the strategies we know to help us spell challenging words.  How did you do?

Today we are going to use our novels for our work.

I would like you to take your favourite book that you have read over Lockdown.  I want you to imagine that no one has read this book – it is just about to be published.  When a new book is going to be launched the people that print the book use a variety of ways to publicise it.  You want to tell everyone about this new amazing book that is about to be launched.  Will you design a poster, record a TV ad,  write a news paper article; record a news report.  You decide!!

Include

• the title
• the author
• fiction/non-fiction
• the story line, not giving too much away, you want people to buy your book
• the launch date etc

Good luck everyone, I wonder who will persuade me to read their book!!

Health and Well-being

I hope that you are remember to exercise every day.  Here’s a little activity to keep you active on your daily walk.

Art   

Here is a little art activity that you might like to use as you finish off your day.  It gives you great ideas to help you draw.

Boys and girls, you have been superstars all week and I have seen some fantastic work.  Remember these activities are a guide and you should try your best to do what you can.  You can also choose an activity from your grid.

A great big thank you to your parents for helping us out so much with your home learning.  Take care and have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Graham will be back with you on Monday.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

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.
cfe-l-221-wh-and-ph-sounds-matching-activity-english

 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.
