GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING TEAM 13!

Please remember on Friday we will have another Room 13 check-in, so try your best to leave a comment on the blog to say Hi!

Well done to everyone who has completed the 5K challenge! I am looking for a couple more photos of people with their signs so I can send it over to Mrs McGarvey to share on Twitter.

Hope you all had a great start to the week and are ready for today’s Tuesday challenge.

Okay the difficulty of today’s challenge will depend how long your name (first and second name) is!  So if you have a really short name this will be super easy and if you have a longer name… well… it’ll take you a bit longer.

YOUR CHALLENGE TODAY:

You need to find items in your house, one for each letter in your first name and each letter in your second name.  Now if you are like me (my second name has THREE ‘N’s in it)… you would need to find three different items beginning with ‘N’.

I have put an example below for you.  Again I would love a mixture of comments on the blog and photos.  Can you lay them out in the order of your name and send me a photo?

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED?!

3… 2…. 1…… GO!

Here is my list… lets see your!

Best of luck.

Miss M 🙂

Happy Monday Room 13!

Now this should be a fun one!  I need you to start collecting lots of recycled materials around your house.  A big thank you to one of the Room 13 pupil’s who suggested this project 😀

First I would like you to go and conduct some research about USA landmarks.  Now we did loads on this in class so this should just be a recap for you.  I would like you to choose a landmark of your choice and try and built your own replica of it using recycled materials!

Now this will take time… the plan was to do this as a big project after Easter.  So start this week by choosing your landmark and planning out what materials you need and how you are going to build it.  These will look amazing with time and effort!

 

• Remember to be super helpful around the house… at least two tasks to help out your family!
• Watch Newsround each day and take the quiz at the end of the week.
• Mindfulness colouring is a great way to help you relax if you are a little stressed.
• Get out into the garden and try this activity with your family:

HELLO EVERYONE!! 😀

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Holiday.  I can’t believe how quickly those two weeks passed… but I can’t wait to hear what you all got up to.  It has been FAR TOO QUIET without you!

So first of all I thought I would share some of the things I got up to over the Easter Holidays and if you look in the Writing tasks for this week, I would love to hear what you have been doing over the last fortnight.

So the first thing is I did A LOT of baking! A Victoria sponge cake, carrot cake cupcakes and a white chocolate and Daim bar cheesecake! To balance that out I have done lots of exercise in the garden and big long walks with Nyla.  I have done two 5K runs and a PE training course (online with Miss McAvoy!) to help me with my football! I’ve washed the car even though it’s not going very far at the moment.  I’ve continued reading the Explorer and I am almost half way through. Finally I spent a night camping in the garden with Nyla! ❤️

YOUR FIRST TASK… can you all please log into Glow and check your email.  I have sent you a VERY special challenge for this week!

So… back to online learning! It will remain the same as the past, a range of activities for you to choose from and a fun Tuesday Challenge for you to take part in 😀  Try to get yourself back into the routine of online learning, by using the ‘Weekly Timetable Template’ to plan your week!

I am going to ease you back into maths this week so the focus for each group will be the same as the week before we finished for the Easter Holidays.

• BMBT
• Daily 10
• Triangles – 3dx2d Worksheet (2)
• Squares – Multi Addition Worksheet (2)
• Circles – Money Addition Worksheet (2)
• Rectangles 3d-3d Worksheet (2)

Now P7 (only), some of you started the Stonelaw Maths booklet with me just before we stopped.  My plan is to upload the first and second activity (which some of you have already done).. If you have not started this can you please compelete the activites in your jotter.  Try exercises A and B first… if you find them okay, then try exercise C.  If you did do this with me in class, could you try and do this again, by yourself and see if you can complete exercises A, B and C and try to do it a little quicker this time!

Stonelaw Maths (Exercise 1)

Stonelaw Maths (Exercise 2)

• Continue reading the Explorer – I am half way though the book and I am really enjoying it!
• Create a character profile for a character of your choice.  Draw your interpretation of the character and then write descriptive words for your chosen character around them.

SPELLING WORDS FOR EACH GROUP: Common Words (spelling)

This is consolidation of common words that you may come across, so please feel free to challenge yourselves by learning a different groups and your own!

• Dictionary definitions
• Rainbow Writing
• Speed Writing

WRITING

• Write a recount of your Easter Holidays – lots of detail please!  You could even type this up on a Word Document and add a nice border or some pictures.
• Write a summary of ‘The Explorer’ so far, remember this should only talk about the KEY POINTS of the book.

• Make sure you are being super helpful around the house!  Try and do at least two tasks around the house to help your family.
• Watch Newsround each day and take the quiz at the end of the week.
• Now I stole this idea from a pupil in Room 14! They have designed positivity pebbles and have placed these all around Burnside!  I would love for you to give this a try and see if you can spot any others around the town whilst you are out on a walk.

 

• Make sure you have checked your emails for a VERY SPECIAL challenge for this week!  Its a running based activity!
• Joe Wicks every morning at 9am
• Keep checking South Lanarkshire Active Schools page on Twitter for a new challenge every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Our focus this week is going to be the Olympics.

Your job is to research how many times the USA has held the Olympics and create an information leaflet which has at least 10 facts about the Olympics in the USA.

You may want to focus on one Olympics or you may want to look at all of them!

I have also added a USA word search for you to try 🙂

USA wordsearch

Although we are not back in class, I can’t wait to catch up with you all!  Please make sure you are keeping in touch during the week, I love hearing from you!

Any questions please just let me know, I will be checking the blog and my emails every day.

Let’s have an amazing week everyone 😀

Happy Easter Room 13!

Just wanted to pop on and say hello!  I hope you are all enjoying this (slightly different) Easter break 🙂

Can’t wait to hear what you’ve managed to get up to over the holidays.

Hope you are all safe and healthy!

Miss M x

It’s the Easter Holidays!!!

Good Morning Room 13, so today we would be in class and doing all things Easter related before I send you off for a 2 week holiday.  Oh how times have changed!

I am going to start of this blog post by sharing some of your amazing work this week.  Then, underneath I have added a few challenges (set by pupils in the class) in case you want some things to keep you busy over the holidays.  Of course, there is no set work for you to do and you do not have to do the challenges if you don’t want to!  However, as we are limited with what we can do and where we can go… I thought it would be nice to give you some ideas of things to keep you busy!

Okay so over to you guys… have a look at some of the amazing things you have done this week!

Some amazing maths, science-fiction stories, President Presentations, outdoor learning and some art work too!

I loved seeing all your Room 13 Rainbows!

And you all got super creative for your Tuesday Challenge!! One pupil even made a Rainbow Tree and put a teddy bear in it for the P1 pupils to find on their bear hunt!

Okay challenge time… I will try my best to do as many of these as I can!  Thank you to everyone who put forward a challenge for Room 13 to try over the holidays!

Football Challenge:  Can you complete this challenge?  I am working on my keepy ups just now and I am trying my best to complete this by the end of the holidays!

Thank Our Heroes Challenge:  One pupil suggested we make posters to thank our front line workers who are keeping us all safe and sound!

Let’s Get Cooking: One pupil suggested that you trying baking an Easter themed cake for you and the family.  I love baking so I am definitely going to try this one!

Talking Is Important:  One pupil said ‘remember it is important to keep talking to one another’ and I couldn’t agree more!  I have attached an emotional check in sheet that you may want to use for yourself or your whole family to make sure everyone is feeling okay.  Remember we have our Microsoft Teams page where you can continue to talk to one another 🙂

And finally some pupils had asked if we could do some STEM challenges.  Now I have a couple organised for after the Easter Holidays.  However think about the STEM challenges we have already done in class or use the pictures below to think up your own challenges and you can share these with your family or with the class through Teams.

It has been amazing to see all your fantastic pieces of work this week, I have been so impressed with your hard work and commitment!

I hope you have a great Easter Holiday, try to keep yourself busy but most importantly stay safe and healthy.  I can’t wait to hear what you get up to!

Sending lots of love to you and your family.  Missing you lots!

Speak Soon,

Miss M x
