Good morning boys and girls,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend with your families and managed to get out for some fresh air. The weather has been really nice. I managed to go a long walk each day and enjoyed listening to my music.

Today marks the beginning of your second week of home learning. I was so impressed with how hard you all worked last week so I am sure you will be great this week too! This week I would like you to continue working on your home learning grid. I have also set you two Literacy challenges to complete on Sumdog.

I have made Maths a little more fun by creating a competition on Sumdog. The competition will begin today and it will end at 3 o’clock on Friday. I will post the winner on Friday. Remember, you have to be in it, to win it! Try your best and give it a go!

Remember you can also access Studyladder. Some of you have already emailed me for your username and password. If you haven’t, please feel free to email me and I will send you your details.  lmceleney@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk

I am missing all of your cheery faces and stories. Keep tweeting me all of your wonderful pictures.

Take care and have a great day,

Miss McEleney

I promised you all a picture of my victoria sponge and here it is 🙂 I might have got a little bit excited and ate a piece before I took the picture! It was delicious!

Baking is fun and of course tasty! I challenge you to try and bake something next week and post me a little picture 🙂

Now I am off out on a big walk to work off all that cake!

Have a great weekend.

Miss McEleney 🙂

Good Morning Primary 3,

Hope you are all all enjoying your week so far. Today is Friday so remember to give yourself some golden time and have fun!

Throughout today keep working on your grid and remember to have a go at the Sumdog challenge.

Have you made a rainbow for your window yet? A fun art activity for today if not. Tweet your pictures in so I can see all of your hard work.

Have a lovely weekend!

Good morning Primary 7,

It’s Friday which means that week 1 of home learning is nearly over. I am sure you have all been busy working on your learning grids this week and I would really like to see some pictures of the activities you have completed posted on Twitter or emailed to myself.

As your week has been very different from a normal school week perhaps you could write a short recount of what it has been like to learn at home and some of the things you have been doing.

I have attached a reading bingo grid below, this might be a fun way to do your personal reading for today. Maybe you could read a chapter or two to a sibling or your parent or guardian.

It would be great if you could all go on to Top Marks today and complete a Daily 10 challenge to get your brains working. Select level 6, Doubles/ Halves and up to 500. If you really want to challenge yourself you can select up to 1000. I will even let you select manual instead of setting a timer.

We have been exploring angles in maths why not see if you can photograph and measure angles around your house? Treat your family members to a little sing song and show them your knowledge of angles through our angles song to the tune of the YMCA.

To work on some life skills why don’t you make lunch for the people in your household today? It might be nice for whoever has been looking after you all week to get a little break.

Have a fantastic Friday and try to get outdoors for some fresh air this weekend. Stay safe Primary 7!

Good morning 🙂

Happy Friday! Well  done for making it through your first week of home learning. I am sure you have been working hard and listening carefully to your mum’s and dad’s but most importantly I am sure you have been having lots of  FUN with your family.

A lovely way to start your day would be to say this simple 5 finger prayer.

We have been working hard in class improving our Spanish skills. Why not show off your skills to one of your family members? Can you tell them the days of the week and months of the year in Spanish? You could even sing them a song!

Keep working through the activities on your learning grid. Remember I have set you some maths, reading and spelling challenges on Sumdog. Your challenges finish today so… GO! GO! GO! I have also signed you up for Study Ladder. If you haven’t got your login details yet just send me an email. lmceleney@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk

Since you have worked so hard this week you certainly deserve some GOLDEN TIME.  Play with a toy or game you haven’t played with in a while.                                                                                                                                                                   

Today I am going to try and bake a victoria sponge cake 🙂 Let’s hope it all goes to plan!

Have a lovely weekend boys and girls. Keep safe and keep smiling.

Miss McEleney 🙂

Good morning boys and girls. It is Friday which means GOLDEN TIME! If you work hard throughout the day take some time off this afternoon to have a play.

Things have been very different for everyone this week and it might be like this for a while. You could start a diary or write a letter to your friends if you are missing them to tell them about all the fun you are having at home.

Tonight is movie night in my house and we are watching Toy Story 4!

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs McGill
