Good morning primary 3,

I hope you all had a lovely and relaxing  long weekend.

I am glad the weather stayed nice for you, I hope we see some sunshine this week.

Please start today with our morning prayer. Do not forget to thank God for keeping us safe and well at this time. It would also be nice to say a prayer for anyone who is suffering.

Numeracy

Warm up:

Let’s do some oral counting to get our minds active this morning.

I wonder if anyone can remember the counting actions we use in class. You could even come up with some of your own.

Please practice counting up and down in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s.

Now think back to last week. What colour of task did you choose for your maths work. Please choose the same colour today.

Literacy

Reading:

Please access the Scholastic website to find your new book for this week.

Once you have read the book then try the quiz.

If you have been assigned the book ‘News and Chews’ you do not need to read the whole book. You could read a chapter or 2 each day.

If anyone is struggling to access Scholastic please get in touch and I will try to help you resolve this.

Spelling:

Please select a phoneme from your spelling list.

Can you write a phoneme story?

I wonder how many words you will manage to include.

If you have already got to the end of your spelling revision list then please get in touch for the next set of words.

Health and Wellbeing

Remember how important it is to keep your body active at this time.

I have been trying some Zumba at home. Why don’t you give it a go using the video below.

Have a lovely day boys and girls.

If there are any questions then please contact me on mcmullenke@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk or gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk

Take care!

Here is another verse for Macavity, this time written by Sofia. I’m sure that you will enjoy it!

Macavity Macavity naughty old  Macavity.
He’s broke the lockdown rules , he doesn’t know the gravity.
He thinks he’s far too cool to play by the rules.
Not social distancing , he’s acting like a fool.
Macavity broke into the chapel, to try and steal the gold
But he never thought Father Campbell would be quite so bold
The priest grabbed him by the neck and called 999
What a noise  he made, you could really hear him whine!
Father Campbell bravely held him by the hair
And when the police arrived
Macavity WAS there!

Terrific work, Sofia. Well done!

Please note: there might be more that one answer to each of the above; however, you simply need to give me one.

Good morning Super Stars 🌟

Did you enjoy your long weekend? I hope you managed to relax and have some fun!

On Friday, I got up early and went on a 13.5 mile bike ride. The sun was shining! It was amazing to get outside and admire the beautiful outdoors. I managed to spot some lambs, horses and cows as I was cycling past some fields.🚲

One thing I am finding difficult just now is keeping track of the days! What day is it today boys and girls? Perhaps you might like to sing the days of the week song to help you work it out.

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:

Below I will include any additional information that will help to support your child with the tasks that I have assigned for today.

Literacy🔡

ph phoneme

This week’s phoneme is ph. Emphasise to your child that this phoneme is made up of two letters p and h but when we put them together, it makes the same sound as the letter f. Ph makes a f sound. It is a tricky sound.
