Goooood Morning Room 13!
First of all, please read the information bullet pointed below!
I want to start off by thanking each and every one of you for last week. Your photos, the activities you completed, the positivity you showed all throughout the week and the smiles on the faces of the P7’s when they got their gifts! I had the best day visiting all my P7’s and your families! You all (P6’s included!) did not let COVID ruin your ‘at home’ residential trip and I honestly could not be more proud of you!
- Have a look at the previous post, Mr Miller and Mrs Anderson have left messages for you.
- Any P7’s with pictures in their hoodies, please send them over to me. I need an email from your parents/carers, giving their permission, if you are wanting Mr Campbell to send them over to the newspaper.
- Make sure you head over to Stonelaw High School’s Twitter Page as they are starting to post information about your transition to high school!
- Tuesday Challenge tomorrow at 10am!
- And Friday Check-In with me at the end of the week!
So it is back to reality this week, online work as usual with some fun PE and HWB activities too! You have done so well balancing written and active work so let’s keep it up!
- Daily 10
- BMBT
- Sumdog / Study Ladder
- SPLAT (outside version!) Grab some chalk and write out the products of one of your times tables on the ground. Make it huge so you have to move around outside even more! Get a sibling or parent/carer to ask you the questions. How many can you answer in 2 minutes?
I have uploaded 3 textbook pages as a chilli challenge, choose the level you think will challenge you! Remember you can always do more than one activity! These textbook pages cover broad number revision.

Some investigation work needed for this one! Look at the two pictures below. The one at the top was taken on Week 1 of lock down. Since then, the picture has sat in my front window (in direct sunlight) for 5 weeks. Can you conduct some research to find out what has happened to my picture!
Picture 1: Taken on the 2nd April 2020
Picture 2: Taken on the 10th May 2020
- COVID Time Capsule
- I would love for all of you to start working through the booklet linked above. This is a booklet that you will be able to keep and share with others once we come out of lock down. It is a great thing to keep and look back on in years to come!
- Newsround (try taking the quiz at the end of the week)
- Do you have any empty plastic containers in your house? Try collecting some leaves or flowers from your garden. Add these to a container filled with water and put them in the freezer. Don’t these look amazing!
- Remember to be super helpful around the house! Two tasks to help the people at home this week.
- And finally an art activity for this week, all you need is some coloured chalk and some tape!
-
Giant Mosaic Art: Chalk Art Mosaic for Kids & a Fun Outdoor Activity
- You have done so well getting yourself outside during our Lockerbie Lockdown so lets keep that up!
- Another wilderness walk, is there somewhere close by that you haven’t visited yet?
- Out on a cycle… it is a great form of exercise! Or why not a run? So many of you did great with the 5K challenge… I have definitely found a love of running!
- Circuits – Create 6 stations outside and complete each activity for 45 seconds.
- Joe Wicks every morning at 9am!
- South Lanarkshire Active Schools Twitter Challenges.
- Create an information leaflet or poster about the USA. Why should people visit America? What does it have to offer?
- Remember who your target audience is, if it is younger people (same age as you) you might want to add pictures and focus on fun places to visit!
- If it is an adult… where would they prefer to know about?
- Download to DuoLingo app and practice some of the basic French words each day.
I hope you all have an amazing week. Ms McGuinness is currently putting together all the Lockerbie Lockdown photos and videos from Room 13 & 14, so I will share that with you when it is ready!
As always, if there is anything that I can help with, please just leave me a comment on the blog or send me over and email and I will get back to you ASAP. You will have seen how happy I was to see so many of you last week, so please remember you can check-in with me at any time… I genuinely love hearing from you!
Lots of photos of your work this week please!
Let’s have an amazing week 😀

Hi miss McKinnon what do you do for exercise 7A B And C
So they are just division questions Hollie. You should be able to do 7A mentally, 7B and 7C you may need to use the smile method or the bus stop method to work out the answers.
I can film a video talking through it tomorrow if you are still stuck.

Thanks miss McKinnon I will try doing them and if I’m stuck I will tell you xx
