Good morning everyone!

How are you all? I hope you have managed to make your bed and have your breakfast.

I hope you got on okay with yesterday’s tasks. What new sound did you learn again? That’s right, the ph sound. Did you manage to think of lots of words that begin with this sound?

      

These are all photographs. Another ph word!

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:

DailyOverviewMay13th

Literacy

Common Words: one, first, little

Ask your child to think of a strategy to help them spell each new common word correctly. For example, they might spot a word within a word that could help them. One has the word on in it and they might spot it in little. They can choose a strategy that works best for them.

Writing

Once your child has written their sentences ask them to check that they have included their core writing targets.

Literacy

I hope that you managed to make some super 3D spelling pairs. Today, using the other four pairs, create a spelling flower like the one below. In the centre, write: Country/City

Collective Nouns

I hope that you enjoyed yesterday’s activities. The answers can be found below.

1. A flock of sheep.
2. A forest of trees.
3. A team of football players.
4. A pack of wolves.
5. A bunch of flowers.
6. A herd of cows.

What might you expect to find in each of these groups?

1. a crew of sailors
2. a gaggle of geese
3. a pride of lions
4. an orchestra of musicians
5. a litter of puppies or kittens
6. a shoal of fish/herrings
7. a bed of flowers/oysters/snakes/clams
8. a caravan of camels
9. a den of thieves
10. a loft of pigeons

Task 1

As I said earlier, sometimes we use the same collective noun for different things – and you can see some examples above.

Your tasks is to find two different things for each of the following collective nouns. Don’t use any of the examples we have already used.

1. A flock of ___________.
2. A nest of____________.
3. A school of ____________.
4. A team of ____________.
5. A troop of ____________.
6. A herd of ____________.
7. A colony of ____________.
8. A band of ____________.

Task 2

Collective nouns can make us imagine some very silly pictures.

Did you know that a group of lizards is called a lounge of lizards? Or that if you look up into the trees that you might see a murder of crows?

Have a look at the images below to see how an artist imagined the examples above!

           A lounge of Lizards                                                   A murder of crows

Over to you….please select a collective noun of your choice and create a picture to illustrate. Please ask an adult to email it to me…let’s see if we can create a gallery of collective nouns!

R.E.

On Sunday the Primary 4 children were supposed to celebrating their First Holy Communion. Sadly this will not take place. I thought that it might be an idea for you to write a short prayer to let them know that you are thinking of them at this time.

If you write and decorate your prayer and send it to me, I’ll ask the P.4 teachers to post all of the prayers on their blogs.

I think that you’ve all worked very hard today…so time for a rest and some relaxation!

See you tomorrow!

Good Morning my talented twos 🌟

I hope you are all up, made your bed, had your breakfast and are ready to learn!

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. St. Barbara, pray for us.

Let’s say a special ‘Hail Mary’ for all the people who are sick in our world and for those caring for them.

Here are today’s suggested learning activities- Wednesday 13th May

Happy hump day, we are now halfway through the week! Keep up the great work boys and girls (parents too!) 👏🏻

Good morning superstars!

I hope we are all up and ready to learn.

Lets start today with our morning prayer.

God Our Father, as we prepare to begin our work, we ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts that you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together at school.  St Barbara Pray for us.

Numeracy

Today we are going to continue with our work on addition. Please select the same colour that you chose yesterday for todays task.

Red:

Today we are looking at addition sums with a missing number.

For example  4 + ___ = 9

We can do this by finding 4 on a number line and counting on until we land on 9. How many did we have to count on?

Click the link below to access an activity. Please complete the first page only.

Remember no peeking at the answer page!

Red Task

Amber:

Today we are going to look at adding 2 digit numbers.

We can do this by using our partitioning strategy.

Partitioning is when you split your numbers into tens and units to make it easier to calculate your answer.

Example

45 + 22

Step 1 – Split your numbers into tens and units

45 = 40 + 5

22 = 20 + 2

Step 2 – Add both of your tens together

40 + 20 = 60

Step 3 – Add your units together

5 + 2 = 7

Step 4 – Add your answers together

60 + 7 = 67

Click the link below to access a task.

Please complete page 2 only.

Amber Task

Green:

Today we are going to look at 2 digit addition. We are going to look at problems which contain ‘bridging’.

Example

24 + 67

Step 1 – Split your numbers into tens and units

24 = 20 + 4

67 = 60 + 7

Step 2 – Add both of your tens together

20 + 60 = 80

Step 3 – Add your units together

4 + 7 = 11

Step 4 – Add your answers together

80 + 11 = 91

Remember it is very important to stay active during this time.

If you can, go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

Today I am going to try out this ‘Daily Walk Challenge’ and I thought Primary 3 might like to join in.

R.E

Throughout the month of May we honour and pray to Our Lady.

Did you know that Our Lady has many different names?  These names are connected to different places where she has appeared or to help that she gives people in need.  One of the names Our Lady has been given is Our Lady of Fatima. Click the link below to find more information about Our Lady of Fatima.

Our Lady of Fatima

Now write a short paragraph to explain what happened when Our Lady appeared to three children in the town of Fatima. You can also include a picture.

Have a great day boys and girls and remember to take plenty of breaks.

If you are looking for some more challenges then you can select a task from your home learning grid.

Take care and keep smiling!

Literacy – This week we have a new phoneme ‘ph’ making the sound f. What words can you think of using the ‘ph’ phoneme?

Usually in class we use our magnetic boards to practise with a friend, if you have one at home please try to do this with someone in your family, if not you can practise writing the words out.

dolphin, elephant, phone, phonics, photo, trophy

­Strategy:

Say the word out loud – dolphin 🐬 

Make the word/break the word – d      o      l     ph      i      n

Blend the word (push the sounds together) – dolphin

Read the word –  📖dolphin

Write the word 📝           Try to use this strategy with each word.

 

Written task – In your jotter write the heading ‘The Phoneme Ph’ – now copy and complete…

phone           ___________                ____________
photo            ___________                ____________
elephant       ___________                ____________
phonics         ___________                ____________

1. In school we learn ________ to help us with our spelling.

2. The ___________ used his trunk to drink some water.

3. The _________ rang so I answered it.

4. I looked very smart in my school __________.

It is also important to practise reading all of the common words in your word box, remember to write out your 3 new words and add them to your box – one, first, little.  Practise writing these words in a fun way.

Reading – I have assigned a new book for you to begin today on scholastic.  Firstly I would like you to listen to the story, then read it aloud to a member of your family and answer the quiz questions orally.

Numeracy–  For the rest of the week we are going to focus on subtraction. Remember… subtracting means taking away and taking away always makes the number smaller.

Topmarks – subtraction to 10 game.

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Good morning, boys and girls.  I hope you are all well today.  We have lots of work and some fun activities for you to complete this week.

As usual, we are going to start our day off by saying our morning prayer.

God Our Father, as we prepare to begin our work, we ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts that you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together at school.  St Barbara Pray for us.🙏

Remember boys and girls that during the month of May, we pray to and honour Our Lady.  Did you know that Our Lady has many different names?  These names are connected to different places where she has appeared or to help that she gives people in need.  For example, Our Lady Help of the Sick, Our Lady Refuge for Sinners, Our lady of Good Counsel,  Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Fatima.

Today, we are going to watch a power point which tells you the story of Our Lady Of Fatima.  I hope you enjoy it.

Here is the link to the power-point.

Boys and girls, lets have some fun today.  I have posted a link to some sports day activities that you can do at home.

You can do some of them on your own or you can ask someone at home to play with you.  You can keep a score card and count up your points and see who wins or you can just do it for fun.  These activities are fun and a good way to keep fit.  Enjoy!

When you take one number away from another, you get a smaller number.

 

I hope you have a great day boys and girls and remember; just do what you can.  You can post your pictures or your work online to let me see how you get on.

Remember to look at the early level grid and pick one activity to complete today.
