Happy Friday Everyone!

Primary 4/3

Friday 24 April 2020

Good morning boys and girls!!  Rise and shine, I think it’s to be a lovely day and it’s Friday!! That’s our first week after the Easter holidays over.   Yesterday was a much better day than my weather app had told me.  It was actually quite sunny and not as cloudy as they had said.  Today it has to be even warmer (fingers crossed).

So before we start we will remember to say our prayers.  Let’s begin with our Morning Prayer and we will say a Hail Mary and  an Our Father.  We will take time to remember all of the people who need a little prayer and ask God to keep them and ourselves safe.

Let’s take our learning outside today!!  Remember to put on some sun screen and wear a hat.

How do you fancy some shadow drawing!!

Today we are going to base our learning around your marvellous creations.  You can use your favourite toys to make a scene like the child in the picture.  You are going to use the sunshine to trace round the shadows of your toys on paper (single sheets will do then you can join them).

Look at your drawings, now you are going to use them to write.  What will you decide to do?  An imaginative story, a newspaper report, what title will you give your piece of writing?  It’s all up to you.  I can’t wait to read them, please email or post your drawings along with your stories to SBoyce@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk or gw09boyceshirley2@glow.sch.uk or our Twitter.

If you have time remember to test yourself on this week’s words.

Thank you to the boys and girls who sent me in pictures of their work from yesterday.  Well done, I was very impressed with what you remembered about your parts of speech. 🥇

Numeracy

Today I would like you to continue with your stepping stones from yesterday.  If you haven’t given it a go, try today.  If you have chalk you might want to use that (if you are allowed).  Write the numbers 0 to 12 on the ground or on paper and test yourself on a table of your choice.  Keep a record of your time and you will be able to see how fast you can get.

Sumdog Challenge Update – Well done to all the amazing mathematicians who have completed their Sumdog Challenge.   If you can, try to finish before the deadline at 2.30 pm today.  I can see that you have been working hard on your Place Value.🥇

RE  🙏🏻

Let’s take a short time out of our day to think about what we have achieved this week.  We thank God for all the beautiful things that we can smell, hear and see whilst outside.  We can also thank God for ourselves.  Look at all the wonderful things we can do, how much we have learned in our time at school.  We are all unique and very special to God and our families, so we need to remember that and give thanks to God.

Boys and girls you have worked very hard this week and I want you to give yourselves a great big pat on the back.  You should be proud of all you have achieved and I hope you have a lovely weekend in the sunshine with your families.  Take care and I will be back again next week.

Then try the activities that follow it.

If you haven’t checked already, there is a road safety design competition starting on the school’s Twitter today.

You could also try some Spanish alphabet today.

For Health today I want you to look back over your week and make a list of the things that you have achieved. You are all dealing with big changes in the way that you live and learn and today is a great opportunity to remind yourself that you are doing well.

As you round out your week remember that you and your family can still celebrate Mass on the St. Barbara’s Facebook page.

Good morning Super Stars 🌟

Today is Happy Friday! What makes it even better, is that, it has to be another beautiful sunny day today! Make sure you enjoy it!☀️

Let’s start by saying an Our Father and thanking God for this beautiful weather. I would also like you to say a special prayer to ask God to look after all of those brave NHS workers who are doing such an amazing job right now.🙏🏻 I was out on my doorstep last night clapping with everyone at 8pm to say a great big thank you to them and all of the other amazing key workers. Were you?👏

We know that  Friday’s are special in school because if you work hard and try your best, then you get golden time. You have already done a great job this week so far, let’s see if you can try some of today’s tasks and then you can get some golden time this afternoon. 💫

Good Morning Primary 3,

Happy Friday!!

We have had a busy week full of lots of revision. Before you do anything else give yourself a big pat on the back. You are working so hard and Miss McMullen is very proud of each and every one of you.

Before you begin your work today please take some time to say the morning prayer. Please also say a Hail Mary and Our Father for anyone who is sick at this time.

I had so much fun doing some literacy tasks in the garden that I thought you might want to give some of them a go. To begin today we are going to revise our work on nouns. Can you remember the definition of a noun?

Take a look at our poster to remind you.

Nouns, Verbs and Adjectives | Nouns, adjectives, Parts of speech ...

Now, if you are able, go outside and try to make some nouns using items from your garden. Take a look at some that I tried in my own garden by clicking the link below.

Nouns

Now lets revise our spelling words from this week and get our bodies moving at the same time.

Use the poster below and spell out your name. Now challenge yourself and spell out some of this weeks spelling words. Miss McMullen was very much out of breath after this task.

Spell Your Name Workout - What's Your Name? Fitness Activity ...

Now we should all be feeling tired so lets relax with some reading. Choose a story to read, this can be one you have at home or an ebook from Oxford Owl. Sit down, chill out and read quietly to yourself. You might choose to do this in your garden or maybe curled up on your couch. Wherever you feel you can relax.

For Numeracy today we are going to bring together some of the concepts we have been working on this week. Please click the link below to access some tasks.

Numeracy Friday

This afternoon, if you are able, go into your garden and try to make up a game to play using things you can find. Click the link below to take a look at my bowling alley using my nieces ball and bottles from my recycle bin. As you will see, I didn’t quite manage a strike.

Bowling Alley

Please ask an adults permission before using any household items or things from your garden. 

Now please do not worry if there are any tasks you cannot manage. Just do what you can and take plenty of breaks. As it is Friday, finish off today by giving yourself some well deserved golden time. If you aren’t able to go outside today try some of the tasks with items you find indoors.

Please keep an eye on Twitter today to find out how you can enter our Road Safety competition.

Have a lovely day and a fantastic weekend. I hope to hear from you all soon.

Take care!

Primary 5

Friday 24 April 2020

¡Hola! ¡Buenos días chicos y chicas! ¿Qué tal?

We will start with our morning prayer.

God Our Father, as we begin our days’ 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. 

St Barbara, Pray for us.

Please say a Hail Mary for all those who are sick

 

I hope that you are all well and looking after yourselves. Mrs Haughey has been telling me how hard you have all been working and it has been a joy to see some of your lovely healthy faces.

Here are your Friday tasks. Please only do what you can manage and don’t worry about not finishing all the tasks.

Numeracy

1. Warm up – describe the number 234202

In case you have forgotten here are some clues about the kind of things you can write:

– it is an even number
– it has 2 units
– the total of the digits =
– it is 5 more than
– it is 5 less than
– to write it in words would be …

Now let me see if you can come up with 10 ways to describe the number. You can use my clues.

2.Table challenge

Hopefully you all still have your table challenge sheets. If you don’t, don’t worry.
If you still have your sheet then continue with the table that you were working on.
If you have a brother or sister they could help to test you, if not you could FaceTime/phone your gran, grandpa, auntie or uncle and involve them. I know mums and dads are sometimes busy working.
If you can’t find your sheet, pick a table you find tricky, learn it and test yourself.

3.Statistics

You will be reading, seeing and hearing a lot about statistics on the television and in the newspapers. (See if you can spot the advert with Professor Jason Leitch and the pictogram of how we stop the spread of Covid-19 by staying at home)

Statistics are when you collect data, organise the data, understand what the data means and then present the data.

For example
If you gather information about how many pets each person in your class has, organise that information into groups and then make a graph out of the information.

Please watch this lesson and complete the questions that follow. We will only be looking at bar graphs today and you don’t need to complete the line graph questions.

Spelling 

Mrs Haughey has set this week’s words:

impossible

incorrect

untidy

misbehave

imperfect

disappoint

unhappy

inaccurate

disable

Write the words on flash cards or pieces of paper. Turn the words upside down.

On another piece of paper write the numbers 1-9.

Pick a word, turn it over and write the word beside number 1. (just like our class spelling test)

Do this for each word and at the end turn all the flash cards and mark your spelling.

Remember to practise any words that you get wrong.

Health and Wellbeing 

Working in a team can sometimes feel quite challenging, especially if you feel shy or if you have outspoken people in your team.

This video will help you to identify your strengths and how you feel you would fit into a team.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zbcthbk

Spanish 

Continue to practise food and drink. If you watch this video (lesson 9) you will hear the boy saying some of the words that you have learned.

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine. Stay safe and look after yourselves.

Adiós

Primary 1a Friday 24th April

Good morning Primary 1 and happy Friday!!😁 What a beautiful day it is again.🌞Let’s begin by saying our morning prayer and an Our Father and thanking God for our beautiful world in Spring.

Literacy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2HYM9VXz9k

Please practise writing out each initial sound/phoneme as you sing along to our Jolly Phonics songs.  You could use a whiteboard or write them into your jotter, just one time for each sound.

Revise the wh phoneme in the same way that you did on Wednesday.
When, what, whip, whisk, whisper any other wh words that you would like to try.

Common words – Practise reading all of your common words from your word box.  Can you read the three new words? Well done!  Today I would like you to do some rainbow spelling 🌈 Choose 3 colours and write each word with each colour, like this..

If you would prefer, you could use chalk and write them outside.

Dictated sentences – ask your child to try to write one of these sentences into their jotter, read a word at a time slowly for your child to write down. Boys and girls remember out little song 🎶Capital letter at the start, full stop at the end, finger spaces in between and show it to a friend🎶Choose the sentence which best suits your child.

1. I went out to play.

2. What will I do now?

3.I got a new toy.

Reading – Choose your favourite story from home and ask someone in your family to read it to you.  Try read the common words that you can from it.  Make a list of any of your common words in the story.

Numeracy

Can you tell someone in your family the days of the week? How many days are in a week?

Can you rhyme the months of the year? How many months are in a year?

Can you write down 3 different ways to make 10?

 

Health & Wellbeing

During this time at home we might be feeling lots of different emotions. Sometimes we might feel happy to be with our families, sometimes we might feel sad when someone does something we don’t like, sometimes we might feel afraid because everything is different.  It’s ok to feel all of these things.  Can you draw the faces showing how these people feel and talk to someone in your family about how you are feeling today?

Remember that these are only ideas and we know that you may not be able to do them all, everyone has different circumstances.  Do what you can do, that’s all that we ask.  I hope that you have found some of the tasks useful.  If I can help in any way please contact me:

gw09wallacemarie2@glow.sch.uk

I hope that you have a lovely weekend in the sunshine and manage to spend some time in your gardens or go for a walk, cycle or scoot!

 

Take care,

Mrs MacLeod 😁
