Good morning everyone!  I hope you all had a nice time over Easter.  I am sure that even though if was a quieter celebration for us all, you still managed to eat your chocolate eggs and have some fun in the garden.  We had an Easter egg hunt and our dinner in the back garden!!  I would love to hear your “Easter holiday news”, let’s start by writing a few sentences about this.  Remember you can email me them or reply on here.

Beginning today, I will be posting tasks for you to complete on here.  There are new grids for you to access too. (See Mrs McKinney’s post).

Literacy

If you can, log on to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ this is great website for reading books.  Choose one of your choice and make sure you read a few pages or one chapter a day.  I will be asking you to do some work from these.  If you have your own books at home or are already signed up to another online reading resource, then that is fine, it doesn’t have to be this one.

P3 Phoneme – ie (eg, field)

p4 Phoneme – f, ff, ph

Make a list of words with this sound. Remember to use a different colour to highlight the phoneme.

Choose 3 of these words and write them out in your jotter 3 times and write a sentence for each.  Remember to make your sentences longer by using conjunction words such as and, but.

Numeracy

We will revisit Place Value this week and rounding to the nearest 10 and 100.

First let’s do a little Number Talks activity:

How many strategies can you use to find the answer to:

(P3) 67 + 45

(P4) 144 + 68

Below are some place value games to get you started this morning.

I have attached a rounding worksheet for you to complete. (The answers are attached too, but no peaking!)

Rocket Rounding to 10 Activity Sheet

HEALTH & WELLBEING

For daily exercise, you can follow Joe Wicks routines and classes online which I know many of you have been doing already.  It’s going to be nice today so maybe you could design your own obstacle course in your garden or if you don’t have access to a garden, try some interval training when you are out on your walk – 10 star jumps, 10 hops, 10 burpies, and my favourite “the plank” for 10 seconds or longer if you can!!

RE

Remember to keep up with your prayers, especially your act of sorrow P3.  I would like you to finish your lessons today with our Angel of God prayer:

Angel of God, my guardian dear

To whom God’s love commits me here,

Ever this day be at my side

To light and guard, to rule and guide

Fr Campbell is streaming live mass every Sunday and you should try to catch this.  Yesterday we heard about Thomas and how he did not believe that Jesus had risen until he saw it with his own eyes.  Watch the following video.  This is a time where we need to believe in Jesus and ask him to protect us and our families.  Can you create your own bidding prayer, asking God to protect us and keep us healthy and safe.

Parents: Remember this is only a guide, please do not feel under pressure to complete all tasks.

Good morning to my marvellous Primary 5s,

I hope that you and your families are well and have managed to enjoy some spring sunshine together during your Easter break. Remember not to worry if you do not manage to complete all suggested tasks each day; do what you can and try to keep your body and mind active. Remember to take breaks regularly throughout the day.

Let’s begin our day with a prayer. Close your eyes and thank God for the people who love and care for us. Say a Hail Mary and an Our Father.

Let’s begin by working off those delicious Easter eggs with Jumping Jax 25 minute cardio for kids:

Hi boys and girls I hope you had a great Easter.  I had a good time but now its time to do some work.

Literacy

Today you have a new phoneme to learn, it is the phoneme ‘wh’.

This is a very important phoneme so you need to work hard to learn it and remember it.  It looks like this

1. Can you make this ‘wh’ sound to your mum or dad as many times as you can.
2. Can you make a rainbow ‘wh’ using 5 colours.
3. Some important words that start with ‘wh’ are Who, What, Where, when and Why. These are all question words.  Say these words to mum or dad and try hard to remember them.  Maybe you can make some rainbow, plasticine  or pasta words  too.
4. Can you think of another 2 ‘wh’ words and write a sentence with them.

Reading

1. I would like you to try and read one of these books today and talk to your mum or dad about ;

Who the characters are.

What happens in the story.

Where the story takes place.

2. Are there any ‘wh’ words in your book.

3. Can you copy the front cover of your book making all the words and pictures exactly like the book cover.

This is the link to the books.
