We hope you have had a wonderful day filled with plenty of birthday cake🎂
Love Miss McEleney and all your friends in P1b 😀
P.S, Dippy also has a special message for you!
I’m very sorry that this message is a little bit burnt. He was smiling so much that little bits of fire were popping out of his mouth when he was making your picture.
Good Morning, Footloose Fives!
I hope that you are all well and ready to go!
Let’s begin as we always do with our morning prayer:
God our Father, as we prepare to begin our work today,
We ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us
So that we may properly benefit from our day together. Amen.

Yesterday I gave you a task on collective nouns. You had to find two answers for each collective noun.
Please see a selection of answers below. You might have had alternative nouns.
Don’t forget to send some of your collective noun pictures – I would love to see them!
Spelling Words
France – Paris, Portugal – Lisbon, Spain – Madrid, Germany – Berlin, Sweden – Stockholm
Poland – Warsaw, Austria – Vienna, Netherlands – Amsterdam, Belgium – Brussels, Norway – Oslo
Spelling Task
On Tuesday I asked you to select four pairs of words and to make 3D version outside.
Today I would like to take the remaining words and create a short travel blog. Research some of the countries and cities and provide some information for a would-be traveller. You might even add a picture or two.
I’m looking forward to reading them!
Collective Nouns
Please complete the following with nouns you have not used before.
Just for fun!
Try creating some collective nouns of your own. Select some plural nouns and see what you can suggest. See some examples of plural nouns below:
Examples
You can use these or choose some of your own. Have some fun – then email them to me!
Numeracy
Yesterday we looked at a word problem Chilli Challenge. Please find the answers below:
Times tables can be tricky. It isn’t always easy to ask an adult if you are unsure as so many of them are working form home themselves also.
I have a task which will help you to learn your tables and to become more independent should you need help. Select a table (or more than one) that you find tricky. For those of you who are confident in tables to 10x, select the 11x or 12x table.
Look at the picture below and create your own table-checker! Genius!
Thursday Word Problems
There are two challenges for you to try today…you might even like to try both!
Good Luck!
Answers will be posted at 3pm today.
R.E.
May Altar
Please say a decade of the Rosary at your May altar. Think especially about the children in Primary 4 who should have been celebrating their First Holy Communion on Sunday. If you have written a little prayer for them, say it too.
Grid Tasks
Please select one or two tasks from your grid.
Finally…
Just for fun…. Celebrate NHS and Keyworker Thursday… dance like no one is watching…and then clap tonight – 8pm!
That’s all for today, Primary 5. Mrs Goodwin will be with you tomorrow and I’ll be back with you on Monday.
Remember, you can email your work to me:

Use your imagination, a box really can be anything that you want. In my house we have made so many things from boxes: cars, trains, pirate ships, robots, TVs, treehouses.

RE – Let’s say a special Hail Mary for anyone that you would like to pray for. Here is a little song for you, I wonder if you could listen to the music and try to sing along to the tune.
May is the month of Mary,
Month we all love so well;
Mary is God’s own Mother,
Gladly her praise we tell.
Chorus:
Mary is beautiful, Mary is fair!
Gladly we praise her
in song and in prayer.
Blue is the sky in Maytime,
Bright is the sun above,
Bluebells all nod in chorus
Joining our song of love.
Chorus:
Mary is beautiful, Mary is fair!
Gladly we praise her
in song and in prayer.
I hope you have a great day and can’t wait to see those pictures of your box creations.
Keep smiling 😁🌈

Good morning boys and girls. I hope you are all well this morning and ready to start some work.
Every day in school, we say our Angel of God prayer, so after our morning prayer, let’s say this today.
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom God’s love commits me here,
Ever this day, be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide.

Note for P3!
Yesterday I made a mistake and copied the wrong common words. Apologies everyone, my eyesight is getting worse and I looked at the wrong line as I was typing! So here are the correct words for this week:
P3 – write, answer, began, heat, page
Write these out 3 times and write a sentence for each.
P4 – write a sentence for each common word I gave you yesterday. (quiet, quite, mumbled, important, quickly)
Yesterday I directed you to a lesson about plants and flowers. Today I have attached a comprehension exercise for you to complete based on birds in your garden. There are three worksheets. P3, I would expect you to be able to complete the first one. P4, the second and for anyone who may like to further challenge themselves, have a go at the last page.
