Good morning boys and girls!

I hope you had a lovely day yesterday. Thank you to all the parents who emailed me and sent pictures. It is great to see your smiling faces.

Yesterday I had lots of fun playing in the garden with my little girl. Hopefully by this afternoon the sun will be out and you can get out to play for a while.

I have attached a powerpoint with the activities for today. Please complete what you can.

Good morning my super sevens 🌟,

How are you all? I hope you are all working hard and helping your parents out at home.

As always, let’s begin the day with our morning prayer. 🙏🏻

To get our brains switched on this morning I thought we could begin with a few fun riddles:

1. What is full of holes but still holds water?
2. What becomes wetter the more it dries?
3. What belongs to you but others use it more than you?
4. What goes up but never comes down?
5. What kind of coat can only be put on when wet?

These should get your brains working today and I will post the answers tomorrow morning. I had good fun trying to work them out, you all know how much I love riddles. Good luck!

Here is the link to today’s learning activities:

Thursday-23rd-April (1)

Remember you do not have to complete every activity, just try your best that is all I ask for.

Have a good day and remember how fantastic you are!

Mrs Butler ❣️

Good morning to all our fabulous fives!

Let’s begin our day 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

Let’s wake ourselves up and start our day with a Joe Wick’s workout.

MATHS

Here is an eggcellent way to revise your knowledge of times tables. Make your very own ‘Egg Carton Shake Up’ game and compete against a family member.

For numeracy today let’s practise some real life application of place value. You will be changing money, lengths and weights into their decimal forms. Watch the video lessons carefully, try to answer the examples given in the clip. Finish by checking how well you did. You can choose to complete the Bronze or Silver level; or you can have a go at both. I would recommend wearing earphones as you listen, it might help you to focus fully.

LITERACY

Authors_Live (3)

Last term in class we watched Cressida Cowell on Authors Live. It was a very interesting show as it gave us an insight into where she gets her ideas and how she goes about writing her amazing stories. The link above will take you to a Power Point with a variety of Authors Live activities. There are five different authors to choose from. You should select a slide and copy and paste the link into your URL. This will take you to some amazing events with real life authors. Try to complete suggested activities linked to your chosen event.

Revise your knowledge and understanding of similes and metaphors by watching the BBC Bitesize lesson below:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zkygrj6

If you have time today you might choose an activity form your new Learning Grid.

Have a lovely day boys and girls. Try to enjoy some time outdoors; we are very lucky that the sun is shining. Try hard to help around the house, your parents are extremely  busy and would appreciate your helping hands.

A huge well done to Keiran New for making a very cosy reading den in which to enjoy his new David Walliams book. I hear that you are a big brother Keiran. I know that you will be an amazing brother! Congratulations!

Good morning girls and boys!😁 I hope you have been having fun with your home learning. Please begin today with your morning prayer and say a special ‘Hail Mary’ for all the people who are sick in our world and for those caring for them.

Literacy – Writing
Today is Thursday and would usually be your writing day so I’d love for you to write me a little story telling me about your Easter weekend. Please send them to me if you can.  I would like you to include:

When? When did your story happen?
During my Easter weekend/On Easter Sunday/ On the 12th of April

Where? Where were you?
In my back garden/ In my house/ Out for my daily walk

What happened? Did the Easter Bunny leave you some eggs? Did you have an Easter egg hunt? Did you go for a walk, cycle or on your scooter?

How did you feel? I felt excited/I felt amazed/I felt over the moon

Reading – Practise reading the book that you chose yesterday to someone in your family.

Numeracy

Let’s look at our number bonds to 10.

Practise writing them into your jotter.

0+10=10

1+9=10

2+8=10

3+7=10

4+6=10

5+5=10

6+4=10

7+3=10

8+2=10

9+1=10

10+0=10

RE

Today is St George’s Day, St George is the Patron St of England. Here is a little story of St George and the dragon. Perhaps you can draw a little picture of St George and the dragon for me?

Here is an extra idea for you if you find the time (or you could work on it for next Thursday), can you make your own musical instrument to play and cheer for the NHS?

Hope you have a great day and remember to enjoy the sunshine, try to do some exercise outside 🌞

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Mrs MacLeod x

Good Afternoon,

Good morning everyone, start today with our morning prayer and a Hail Mary for all those who are sick and for all our NHS workers who are working hard in all the hospitals across the country.

H&WB

Keep moving boys and girls, either with Joe Wicks or Jump start Johnny or even Oti Mabuse! Exercise is not only good for the body but great for the mind.  It makes you feel good!  Therefore I have attached some Workout Challenges for you.  You don’t need any fancy resources, in fact you will see that you have most of them in your house already!  Do you have a pillow ? Or even a bag or box of mismatched socks?!?!? Hahaha if your house is like mine, I’m sure you will! My girls are doing the sock game today!  Try it out!

Literacy

For 15-20 minutes, ask an adult to help you revise your phoneme words, ask them to dictate short sentences for you.

On Monday, I asked you to start reading a book of your choice.  By now you should have completed at least one chapter.  I would like you to use one of your comprehension strategies – Visualisation.  Choose a descriptive setting or character from your text and draw and label your drawing.  Remember, this is how you imagine it to look like using the descriptive language from book.  Feel free to send me these.

A follow on task from this: Can you list the adjectives used in this phrase? Can you remember what an adjective is? Find out if not. Next, using adjectives, describe your own appearance or a family member’s.  You can draw a portrait of them too.

Numeracy

Let’s start with practising our counting this morning, you should try to count in 2s,3s,5s and 10s.  Have a look at that following link, there are lots of activities you can do here to support your counting.

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

Write the following numbers in words:

89, 112, 159, 202, 270, 333, 471

Use the following link for extra work on place value.  I have also attached some challenges for those of you who want to give yourself that little bit extra challenge and push.

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

Place Value 3 digits (extra challenge)

Place Value 3 digits (2)

STEM

I came across a great wee experiment for you and have attached it below; how to make your own lava lamp.  If you have the resources, have a go at this and don’t forget to post your pics or videos on twitter!  Have fun!
