Good morning everyone, thank you to those of you who sent your videos, it was lovely to see you.  I was so impressed by the standard of your questions and answers – well done!!

Let’s start this morning with our morning prayer and an Our Father.  We should continue to remember those who have died with our Eternal Rest prayer like yesterday.

Literacy

Well, I am a day out I am afraid.  Yesterday was superhero day and I thought it was today and had a nice little plan for you.  However, we will go ahead with it today instead because right now there are many every day heroes around.  Can you think of some examples?

Who is your favourite superhero?  What makes them so interesting?  Do they have special powers?  Can you think of someone in your life that is a hero to you?  It could be a friend or a member of your family.  Why are they so important to you?  How do you feel when you think about them?

Today I want you to create a poem about your very own superhero, someone who is in your life right now or also someone who may have been in your life but has sadly passed.  I would like to read how they are special to you, describe their qualities (caring, loving, helpful) what do they do to make you smile or laugh.  How can they help you when you are sad or upset?  What special power do you think they have? Do they help others by fundraising, nursing, teaching, caring etc

This poem doesn’t have to rhyme but it should have at least two verses.

When it is complete, you can send me it by taking a photo of it or a small video of you reading it out.  Feel free to dress up as your own favourite superhero! I can’t wait to hear or read them!

When you have completed this, I want you to show your own super powers by being kind to someone.  You can do this by baking a cake for someone, making a card, making someone a sandwich or helping with your siblings.  You are all kind to Mrs Boyce and I, so I know you can do this easily.

Numeracy

Keep revising your times tables especially the 6.  Use the song I posted yesterday to help you.

Let’s look at ordering 2 digit and 3 digit numbers.  I have attached a worksheet for both and want you to have a go at ordering them from smallest to largest.  I have also attached a ppt for some extra help and understanding.  Whilst this is mainly aimed at P3, it would not harm P4’s to look also.

Place value ppt

Ordering 2 digit No

Ordering 3 digit No.

Art

Continuing with the superhero theme, design your own superhero mask.  Think about colours and design.  Does your mask need a special part for special powers?  If you are feeling particularly arty, you can design your own cape.  See the attached link for an idea!

Health & wellbeing

So many of you had fun with my PE game cards last week, so I have attached two more for you today.  Again, no fancy resources required, you will have most things I am sure.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning boys and girls,  please begin today 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 🙏

I hope that you have been working hard this week and helping your parents out at home. We will begin today, as we do each day, revising our initial sounds and phonemes that we already know.  This is very important as these sounds help us to read and write.

Literacy – Today I would like you to go on an alphabet scavenger hunt in your house and/or garden. Can you find something around your house for every letter of the alphabet? Take your time and have fun!

You can complete this in your jotter and write down the item or can take a picture of all the things you have found.

Practise your 12 common words from yesterday in any way you wish, rainbow spelling, shaving foam, play doh, pasta, in sand or just in your jotter. Practise writing these words 3 times each.

Reading – Yesterday I assigned you a book from scholastic, if you have not contacted me for your login details yet please do – gw09wallacemarie2@glow.sch.uk

Numeracy

Last week we were looking at number bonds to 10.  Let’s see how much you can remember by beginning with our ‘Daily 10’ mental maths questions.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Select level 1 addition and bonds to make 10. How quickly can you answer these questions?

If you would like more of a challenge you can try and complete in a shorter time or try bonds to make 20.

Now let’s practise counting to 100. See how far you can go.

Number Bonds Challenge

General – I would like you to do challenge one today, we will do challenge two tomorrow.

*Chilli Challenge – if you find challenge one too easy I would like you to do challenge three today and keep four for tomorrow.

Numberbondchallenge

Health and Wellbeing – I’d like you to choose you own exercise, you can tune into Joe Wicks or Jump Start Johnny or go for a walk, cycle or scoot or even just jump on your trampoline for 10 minutes if you have one.

In class we looked at the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We also talked about the lifecycle of a butterfly.  Watch this story again and try to complete the activity that follows.

Dear Parents,

I have registered your child’s class for Scholastic books online.  I will as assign books for your child to read twice a week, on a Monday and Wednesday. Please send me an email and I will give you your child’s login details. Please continue to use Collins connect for additional reading if you wish. My email is gw09wallacemarie2@glow.sch.uk

Many thanks

Mrs MacLeod

Good morning everyone.  Thank you to everyone who emailed their work yesterday.  I loved reading about your characters and seeing your fabulous spelling.  Keep up the good work, I’m very proud of you all for continuing your school work as best you can under the circumstances.  Thank you parents and guardians too.

Let’s begin with our morning prayer, afterwards we will remember all those who have died:

Eternal rest grant unto them O’Lord

And let perpetual light shine upon them

May they rest in peace, Amen.

Health & Wellbeing

Have you managed to see the new Trolls film yet?  Well, we saw it at the weekend and I must say I liked how they included many types/genres of music.  My girls particularly liked Barb and the rock music.  So, I have found a great wee Go Noodle workout for you based on rock music.  You will love it, it’s a great way to wake up and start your day!  You should do it a few times to make sure you get the right moves! Enjoy!

https://family.gonoodle.com/activities/squatchy-rock

Literacy

(20-30 mins) Continue to practise your common words today, use as many different spelling strategies as you can.  If you have chalk and it’s dry, you can go outside and write them in your garden or the pavement outside.

Ask an adult to dictate sentences to include your words.

Next, I would like to focus on presenting a news report.  If you can, I would like you to film this.

I would like you to think about the current situation, Lockdown, Coronavirus, Home schooling etc and talk briefly on how the community is coping with this.  You can interview family members about this.  Think of 3 or 4 good questions, eg. How are you feeling about this situation? What are you missing the most right now?  What are your biggest challenges home schooling your kids? (For an adult)  What are your biggest challenges participating in home schooling? ( For you)  Gather your answers and use them in your report.

Remember, to get the most information from people, you must ask open questions and not closed questions where they can only answer yes or no.

You may want to make notes beforehand so when the camera begins to roll, you know exactly what you are going to say and the questions you are going to ask.  If you do not want to be in front of the camera then you can direct someone to take your place but the information and questions etc must be your own.

Afterwards, watch it back and evaluate your performance.   What was good about it and was there anything you think you could improve upon?  How was your pace when talking, too slow/fast?  Could you understand everything you were saying?  Did you mumble? Did you use positive gestures when interviewing – good eye contact, nodding of head etc?  These are all really useful reflections for when you come to do solo talks back at school.

I would love if you could email them to me at AGraham@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk

Numeracy

A little Number Talks this morning, how many strategies can you think of to complete this sum?

37 + 47

123 + 187 (Challenge Q)

Continue to work on your times tables.  You should be familiar with 2,3,4,5 &10.  We began working on our 6 so continue to do that.

Continue to work on place value, I have attached a game for you to play which will help you.  You can choose how much you want to challenge yourself by moving from tens and units to hundreds, tens and units.  Some of you may even attempt Thousands!  Go for it!

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/place-value/place-value-charts

I have given you quite a bit of work to do with regards to your report so please don’t feel pressured to complete work from the grids also.  If you want to and you have the time, then choose one of your choice.

Happy Tuesday!

Mrs G 🙂
