Today is the last day to enter the road safety competition. If you want to take part please make sure you send a photograph to Miss McMullen today. Thank you to everyone who has already sent in photographs.
Normally we would all be going to First Friday Mass today but sadly we can’t. However, what we can do – and you need an adult to agree and help you – is to follow First Friday Mass on Facebook with Fr. Campbell at 10am. If we are lucky he might give us an extra, sneaky playtime!
Have a look at the calendar below. I am going to use this everyday in May to help me – maybe you could too?
See below for activities for today and for the DOM Daily Angelus Challenge Card.
Rise and shine, it’s HAPPY FRIDAY and you have nearly completed your second week of term 4. Well done my Super Stars!🌟
Today marks the start of a brand new month. Do you know what month it is today?
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.
Today we would have been going to First Friday mass. It would be nice if you could follow Mass today which is being streamed through Facebook (supervised by an adult) by Father Campbell at 10am.
Golden Time ⭐
Of course you deserve some golden time after all of your hard work this week. You have continued to impress me with all of the wonderful work that you have been sending me. I loved seeing some of the amazing Superheroes that you created! Well done!
I think the mums and dads deserve some golden time too. They have been working hard helping you learn at home and I am so grateful for all of their help. 🙏🏻Let them put up their feet tonight and perhaps you could treat them to a little bit of peace and quiet or you could help them with some chores.
Thank you everyone for another great week. 👏
I thought you might like to finish off this week with a little song and dance! Here is one of your favourite Go Noodle dances, Pop See Ko. I tried it at home and it was so much fun! 💃🏼 🕺

Have a fabulous weekend boys and girls. Take care!
Good morning boys and girls! Happy Friday!😁 I hope that you have had a good week. This is the 1st of May, a new month. Usually we would go to mass on the first Friday of the month. Fr Kenny is live on Facebook at 10am, perhaps your parents would tune in and watch mass with you, this would be a nice way to begin your day.
Literacy – Let’s begin today by revising all of our initial sounds and phonemes.

Reading – Continue to read the book that I have assigned you on Scholastic. Can you design your own front cover for the book, including the title, author and illustrator’s name and picture of your own? If you prefer to use a Collins book you can. Well done to all the boys and girls who have read their books, I can see that you have been doing really well. Keep it up!
*Please e-mail for logins if you haven’t already, these resources are helpful.*
I have also set a few tasks on studyladder for you to try.

Select level 1/Addition/Missing number calculations up to 10.
Practise writing your numbers up to 30 in your jotter. Remember to leave a space between each number.
RE – This Sunday’s Gospel is about Jesus the Good Shepherd.
This story teaches us that Jesus is always there for us when we need him. We are like the sheep and Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Our Good Shepherd loves us and will protect us. When we have Jesus as our shepherd we are safe.
Remember to say your prayers for everyone in our world who is sick and in need just now.
Can you draw a picture of Jesus – The Good Shepherd?
It’s nearly the weekend 🙂! Today marks the beginning of May, this is my favourite month of the year. We always get such lovely weather which makes me smile.
Let’s begin with our morning prayer. Find a quiet spot, close your eyes, join your hands and say thank you to God for looking after us and keeping us safe.
Well done for working hard this week again Primary 7, I know it’s not easy in these circumstances. I really enjoyed hearing from some of you this week, your emails really cheered me up because I am missing you all. Remember you can email me at gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk or sreid@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk.
A huge thank you to all of your parents who are supporting you during this time. Please do not worry if you were not able to complete some activities this week, there was plenty for you to choose from and remember they are only suggestions. The main thing is that you are all keeping active, are healthy and safe. Maybe you could treat your mum and dad today and do something special for them to say thank you for helping you over these past few weeks? Perhaps you could make them lunch or a cup of tea?
Have a fantastic Friday and I will be back on Monday with some more fun learning activities.
Can you believe that another week of home learning is over?
Please start today by saying the morning prayer.
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 in school.
St. Barbara pray for us.

Start off your literacy tasks today by doing some revision on adjectives.
Can you remember what an adjective is?
Take a look through the power point below to help remind you.
Choose any method you like to practise your words today. Please remember to ask an adult’s permission before doing anything messy.
You can rainbow write them in your jotter if you would prefer.
For reading today I would like you to have some ‘ERIC’ time. This means we are reading for enjoyment. Choose any book or story you enjoy and sit down to read quietly. Reading is so important and can be so much fun when you find a story you enjoy.

To begin please choose a times table to revise. Go over it in your head or write it down in your jotter. Ask someone at home to test you on your focus table.
Yesterday I discovered a fun maths game for you try. This is called rounding pairs.

Today we should have been attending First Friday Mass. You can follow Holy Mass which is being streamed through Facebook by Fr. Campbell at 10am. Please remember you must be supervised by an adult.
May is the month when we focus on Mary, the mother of Jesus. Traditionally at the beginning of May we would change the altar in our classroom to honour Mary. Why not see if you can set up your own altar somewhere in your home to have a special place to remember Mary during the month of May? Click the link below to find some ideas of what you can include in your May altar.
