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 🙂

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 😀
