Good morning primary 3,

Can you believe it is Thursday already?

I hope you have all had a lovely week so far.

Let’s start today with our morning prayer.

God Our Father, as we prepare to begin our 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 at school.  St Barbara Pray for us.

Literacy

Today is our Taught Writing day. We are going to be revising how to write instructions.

Instructions are a list of steps to tell someone how to carry out a particular task.

Have a look through the power point below to remind yourself how to write a set of instructions.

Instructions

Now I would like you to choose a task from the following list:

• How to play my favourite game
• How to make a sandwich
• How to make a cup of tea

You are going to write instructions for whichever task you have chosen.

Click the link below to see how you can lay this out in your jotter.

Remember you do not have to print the sheets.

Instruction template

When you have completed your writing you might want to test out your instructions.

Remember if you chose ‘how to make a sandwich’ or ‘how to make a cup of tea’ then you will need some help from an adult!

Please send me some pictures of your fantastic work.

Numeracy

Let’s warm up by playing a round of hit the button.  Just cut and paste the link below. You can choose multiplication or division and try to beat your top score. Good Luck!

Send me lots of pictures!

Have a lovely day boys and girls and remember to get some exercise.

Take care.

Good Morning Primary 2 ☀️

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.

Good morning everyone, how are you all today? Let’s begin with our morning prayer:

Practise reading all of the words in your word box. Remember… being able to read and spell all of your common words is a very important task. Choose another fun way to practise this weeks words.

Reading– I have assigned a book to you called “A Box Can Be Many Things”.  Please read it aloud to someone in your family.  Today I would like you to see what you can make out of an empty box at home.  Use your imagination, a box really can be anything that you want. In my house we have made so many things from boxes: cars, trains, pirate ships, robots, TVs, treehouses.  I’m sure that you can think of loads of other good ideas.  Send me some pictures of your creations, I would love to see them.

Numeracy

Let’s start off with some counting.

Can you count to 100 in 1s? Count in twos to 20. Count in tens to 100. Count back from 30 to 1.

Let’s practise some more subtraction.

Here is a little game for you:

Mental maths train – select subtraction – up to 10 or up to 20.

Yesterday I asked you to complete worksheet 1 or 3, today you can complete either 2 or 4.

Health – choose 2 or 3 more of the fitness challenges that I posted last Wednesday and Thursday.

RE – Let’s say a special Hail Mary for anyone that you would like to pray for.  Here is a little song for you, I wonder if you could listen to the music and try to sing along to the tune.

May is the month of Mary,
Month we all love so well;
Mary is God’s own Mother,
Gladly her praise we tell.

Chorus:
Mary is beautiful, Mary is fair!
Gladly we praise her
in song and in prayer.

Blue is the sky in Maytime,
Bright is the sun above,
Bluebells all nod in chorus
Joining our song of love.

Chorus:
Mary is beautiful, Mary is fair!
Gladly we praise her
in song and in prayer.

 I hope you have a great day and can’t wait to see those pictures of your box creations.

Keep smiling 😁🌈

3. What has a spine but no bones?
4. What tastes better than it smells?

Good afternoon Primary 7,

Well done to Daniel McFall who is today’s maths champion . He came first place in the Sum Dog competition that was set as part of today’s activities. Daniel, you have a fantastic knowledge of multiplying and dividing whole numbers and decimal numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 . Who will be our next champion?

I will be back tomorrow morning with more daily activities.

Mrs Butler

Good morning boys and girls. I hope you are all well this morning and ready to start some work.

Every day in school, we say our Angel of God prayer, so after our morning prayer, let’s say this today.

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.

Literacy

Note for P3!

Yesterday I made a mistake and copied the wrong common words. Apologies everyone, my eyesight is getting worse and I looked at the wrong line as I was typing! So here are the correct words for this week:

P3 – write, answer, began, heat, page

Write these out 3 times and write a sentence for each.

P4 – write a sentence for each common word I gave you yesterday. (quiet, quite, mumbled, important, quickly)

Yesterday I directed you to a lesson about plants and flowers. Today I have attached a comprehension exercise for you to complete based on birds in your garden. There are three worksheets.  P3, I would expect you to be able to complete the first one. P4, the second and for anyone who may like to further challenge themselves, have a go at the last page.

Good morning everyone!

How are you all? I hope you have managed to make your bed and have your breakfast.

I hope you got on okay with yesterday’s tasks. What new sound did you learn again? That’s right, the ph sound. Did you manage to think of lots of words that begin with this sound?

These are all photographs. Another ph word!

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.

Here is today’s overview:

DailyOverviewMay13th

Literacy

Common Words: one, first, little

Ask your child to think of a strategy to help them spell each new common word correctly. For example, they might spot a word within a word that could help them. One has the word on in it and they might spot it in little. They can choose a strategy that works best for them.

Writing

Once your child has written their sentences ask them to check that they have included their core writing targets.

Reading- Scholastic

Most people have sent me an email and have been reading their assigned books on Scholastic. If you haven’t been able to access this resource yet and would like your child’s login details, please send me an email.

1. A flock of sheep.
2. A forest of trees.
3. A team of football players.

Task 1

As I said earlier, sometimes we use the same collective noun for different things – and you can see some examples above.

Your tasks is to find two different things for each of the following collective nouns. Don’t use any of the examples we have already used.

1. A flock of ___________.
2. A nest of____________.
3. A school of ____________.
4. A team of ____________.
5. A troop of ____________.

Task 2

Collective nouns can make us imagine some very silly pictures.

Did you know that a group of lizards is called a lounge of lizards? Or that if you look up into the trees that you might see a murder of crows?

Have a look at the images below to see how an artist imagined the examples above!

           A lounge of Lizards                                                   A murder of crows

Over to you….please select a collective noun of your choice and create a picture to illustrate. Please ask an adult to email it to me…let’s see if we can create a gallery of collective nouns!

R.E.

On Sunday the Primary 4 children were supposed to celebrating their First Holy Communion. Sadly this will not take place. I thought that it might be an idea for you to write a short prayer to let them know that you are thinking of them at this time.

If you write and decorate your prayer and send it to me, I’ll ask the P.4 teachers to post all of the prayers on their blogs.

I think that you’ve all worked very hard today…so time for a rest and some relaxation!

See you tomorrow!
