Good morning everyone.\u00a0 Thank you to everyone who emailed their work yesterday.\u00a0 I loved reading about your characters and seeing your fabulous spelling.\u00a0 Keep up the good work, I’m very proud of you all for continuing your school work as best you can under the circumstances.\u00a0 Thank you parents and guardians too.<\/p>\n
Let’s begin with our morning prayer, afterwards we will remember all those who have died:<\/p>\n
Eternal rest grant unto them O’Lord<\/p>\n
And let perpetual light shine upon them<\/p>\n
May they rest in peace, Amen.<\/p>\n
Health & Wellbeing<\/span><\/p>\n Have you managed to see the new Trolls film yet?\u00a0 Well, we saw it at the weekend and I must say I liked how they included many types\/genres of music.\u00a0 My girls particularly liked Barb and the rock music.\u00a0 So, I have found a great wee Go Noodle workout for you based on rock music.\u00a0 You will love it, it’s a great way to wake up and start your day!\u00a0 You should do it a few times to make sure you get the right moves! Enjoy!<\/p>\n https:\/\/family.gonoodle.com\/activities\/squatchy-rock<\/p>\n Literacy<\/span><\/p>\n (20-30 mins) Continue to practise your common words today, use as many different spelling strategies as you can.\u00a0 If you have chalk and it’s dry, you can go outside and write them in your garden or the pavement outside.<\/p>\n Ask an adult to dictate sentences to include your words.<\/p>\n Next, I would like to focus on presenting a news report.\u00a0 If you can, I would like you to film this.<\/p>\n I would like you to think about the current situation, Lockdown, Coronavirus, Home schooling etc and talk briefly on how the community is coping with this.\u00a0 You can interview family members about this.\u00a0 Think of 3 or 4 good questions, eg. How are you feeling about this situation? What are you missing the most right now?\u00a0 What are your biggest challenges home schooling your kids? (For an adult)\u00a0 What are your biggest challenges participating in home schooling? ( For you)\u00a0 Gather your answers and use them in your report.<\/p>\n Remember, to get the most information from people, you must ask open questions and not closed questions where they can only answer yes or no.<\/p>\n You may want to make notes beforehand so when the camera begins to roll, you know exactly what you are going to say and the questions you are going to ask.\u00a0 If you do not want to be in front of the camera then you can direct someone to take your place but the information and questions etc must be your own.<\/p>\n Afterwards, watch it back and evaluate your performance. \u00a0 What was good about it and was there anything you think you could improve upon?\u00a0 How was your pace when talking, too slow\/fast?\u00a0 Could you understand everything you were saying?\u00a0 Did you mumble? Did you use positive gestures when interviewing – good eye contact, nodding of head etc?\u00a0 These are all really useful reflections for when you come to do solo talks back at school.<\/p>\n I would love if you could email them to me at AGraham@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk<\/p>\n Numeracy<\/span><\/p>\n A little Number Talks this morning, how many strategies can you think of to complete this sum?<\/p>\n 37 + 47<\/p>\n 123 + 187 (Challenge Q)<\/p>\n Continue to work on your times tables.\u00a0 You should be familiar with 2,3,4,5 &10.\u00a0 We began working on our 6 so continue to do that.<\/p>\n
